Alaska Notes
Gathered From Territorial
Exchanges.
The total enrollment of pupils at
the Anchorage school is 352, with the
likelihood that additional registra
tions will be made before the term is
well under way. Of the total, there
are 217 in the grades and 75 in the
high school, says the Anchorage
Times.
This year's enrollment is slightly
under that of a year ago, at approxi
mately the same time. School opened
last year with 284 iti the grades and
83 in the high school, a total of 367,
■ or a total of 15 more than are en
rolled at the present time. It is the
• opinion of Superintendent Selmer Pe
terson that this difference may be
substantially reduced as the term pro
gresses. Last year’s opening enroll
ment showed a gain of 12 over the
previous year.
Andy McKenzie, one of the most
widely known oldtimers of the Fair
banks district, died in that interior
-city a few days ago, a victim of a
heart attack. He was more than 70
..years old.
Andy McKenzie was a resident of
Dawson during the Klondike boom
•<days, and stampeded to Fairbanks in

the hotel business, first as proprietor
of the Golden Gate and later of the
New California. He is survived by

The Northland Inst another of its
pioneer residents when Henry Bax
ter, long and lovingly known to his
many friends as “Dad” Baxter,
reached the end of his earthly jour
ney at the Anchorage hospital, a vic
tim of cancer, says the Anchorage
i Times.
As long as seven years ago the old
timer complained of pains in his left
side, but he paid little attention to
his condition and there were few who
suspected that he was not as well as
he appeared. A short time ago, how
ever, his condition became a source
of anxiety to his family, and after
numerous X-rays had been taken it
was decided to operate. The opera
tion was performed and disclosed a
cancerous growth of such proportions
that it was deemed inadvisable to at
tempt to remove it. The oldtimer ap
I pear- .o be beyond human aid. He
b sinking during th eevening and
u e end came shortly before midnight.
Henry Baxter was born in England
in 1869, and celebrated his 72d birth
day in Anchorage on June 16. He
came to the United States when he
J was nine years ol, locating at Detroit.
He moved to Spokane in 1882, and
was cashier of the First National
Bank there for a number of years.
He joined the gold rush to Dawson,
later returned to Whitehorse and re
mained there until 1910, went from
there to Vancouver, B. C., and later, |
in 1915, went to Anchorage, where he
spent a fortune developing coal prop
erties in the Matanuska field
Surviving Mr. Baxter, besides his
widow and stepson, Lyle W. Larson,
I residing at Anchorage, there are two
sons, two daughters, a brother, and a
sister in the States.
Pete Lorentzen, widely known old
timer of Dawson and Fairbanks, died
a few weeks ago while under treat
ment at Los Angeles General Hospi
tal, according to word received by the
Fairbanks lodge of Moose, of which
he had long been a member. He had
suffered from a throat affliction since
early spring and entered the hospital
several weeks before death. He was
68 years old.
BORAH DECLARES IT’ DUTY
OF RICH TO AID THE POOR
COTTONWOOD, Idaho.—Address
ing a large gathering here yesterday,
United States Senator Borah de
clared that the rich of the country
must feed the unemployed daring the
coming winter.
The Senator warned “If they do so
voluntarily, they nevertheless will -do
it. There is plenty of money in the
country, and those who have it must
feed the hungry and olathe the
naked.”
MRS. CHESTER BRINK PASSES
AWAY, ANCHORAGE HOSPITAL
Sad, indeed, likewise most shocking,
was the news reaching here.last Wed
nesday morning to the effect that
Mrs. Chester R. Brink had passed
away at Anchorage Hospital at 8:30
o’clock the night before (Sept. 15),
about one hour after she had reached
that institution. Mrs. .Carl F. Lotts
feldt, who accompanied her m air
plane to Anchorage, was at her bed
side when the end came. Death re
sulted from abscess of the brain, ae
scess of the brain, according to the
telegram received by Mr. Brink. She
was unconscious when the hospital
was reached and her condition such
that she was beyond all medicdl aid.
While Mrs. Brink was a quite sick,
woman when she left Tuesday after
noon with Pilot Al .Monson in his Pa
cific International airplane, strong
hopes, nevertheless, prevailed that
she would surmount her illness and
again return to her home here within
a few weeks. Bat Fate decreed other
wise.
In these communities of Takotna,
Ophir and McGrath, where she was
so well known and in all of which
she held so many friends, her passing
is a matter of greatest regret. In
this Takotna community, especially,
the death of Mrs. Brink came as a
severe blow. She was universally
liked, popular with all, and had a host
of friends and acquaintances through
out this entire interior section. Uni
versal sympathy is expressed for Mr.
Brink.
Aside from her husband, Mrs.
Brink is survived by her mother, Mrs.
Rohr, and a married brother, F. W.
Cramer, both of whom reside at
Lima, Ohio. Her father died several
years ago. She was bom near Find
lay, Ohio. She had been a. resident of
Alaska for about ten years, having
been married to Mr. Brink in An
chorage. As a member of the Order
of Rosicrucians, to which she was
greatly devoted, she had almost com
pleted her ninth degree.
Owing to a sudden change of plans,
the remains of Mrs. 'Brink will be
laid to rest in Anchorage, Alaska.
The funeral -services will be conduct
ed by the American Legion at An
chorage. The body will he buried in
the Legion cemetery at that place.
U. S. Commissioner Christian Bol
gen and Nets Vibe were today visit
ors from Ophir, having come over
with P. WW. Carlson.
