WHITE MAY WRITE BOOK Mrs. E. J. (Josephine) White, retiring January 1 after 25 years as assistant curator and librarian with the Alaska Historical Library and Museum here, has several volumes of notes. She says she may write a book about her experiences since coming to Alaska in 1898 “Ii | I can make it interesting.” Mrs. White came to Alaska with her hustand, the late E. J. “Strol- ler” White, well-known pionece: Alaskan journalist, and their youn: dau ¥ They arrived at Skagway when | the town was a tent city of gold- | hungry stampeders. Mr. White took | {a job with the Skagway News, a| | weekly paper, and the Whites | | 1 | | lived in Skagway until the autumn of 1899. Then they went over the new White Pass Railroad to Lake Ben- | nett. Although they did not have the $500 required before they could I pass the Canadian border, a bLarge owner told *the Canadian officials | that Mr. White was cook on the| barge. They boarded the barge in Octo- | ber, late in the year for a start down to Dawsoi, and they floated down the Yukon to within 15 miles of Dawson before the river | froze. | “We went to Dawson for the mad excitement of it,” Mrs. White says. | “We didn't know what we would do, but Mr. White got a job with | the Dawson Nugget right away.” They stayed in Dawson until 1605, when they moved on to Whitehorse. Mr. White bought a paper there, and the White family | stayed in Whitehorse until 1916. Their son Alkert H. (Young Strol- ler), was born there. | In 1916 they came to Douglas | and Mr. White bought the Douglas | Island News. “Douglas was the uig town tien,” she recalls, “The Treadwell Mine was goinz full swinz.” | | The Whites completed construc- tion of a new newspaper plant in | time for the mine cave-in in 1917. The new plant included a cast-off | press from the Empire. They moved the press back to Juneau from Douglas in 1920 when ‘“Stroller’s| Weekly” was established here. “I didn't work much on the paper,” Mrs. White says. “I had two | children to bring up and a little | grouse-shootng to do. But when | Etroller was sick I'd take over.” Mrs. White was employed as the Territorial Museum's assistant cura- | tor in 1925 by the Rev. A. P. Kash- avaroff who established the museum in 1920 and was first curator. Her husband died in 1930. “I was the one who always talked about getting out of Alaska,” she says. “How Stroller did love the Territory! You couldn't get him away.” Mrs. White will leave Juneau Sunday on the Baranof. She will go to Los Angeles to live with her daughter, Miss Lenore White. There she will begin a book tased on her experiences in Alaska But shell come back to Alaska, she promises. “I'm going to drive up the Alaska Highway in 1951, she says. Mrs. White will be replaced as assistant curator by Miss Jane Hawkins. Miss Hawkins holds a | Master of Arts “degree from the | University of Michigan. For the| rast two years she has worked at the Unversity cataloging archeolo- | gical material. Miss Hawkins arrived in Juneau yesterday by air. | When Rome was at the height | of her power, it was said that a | bird could travel from one end of | | the Spanish peninsula to the omer‘i | by hopping from tree to tree, but| fSpain now has very little forest | areg.

AT BETHEL, SITKA Two doctors associated with the Territorial Department of Health will soon go on the medical staff of the Alaska Native Service, it was announced today by Dr. James T. Googe, director of the ANS medical department. Dr. Frank Marish, a tuberculosis specialist with the Seward Sana-| torium will be sent to the Mount Edgecumbe Hospital, Dr. Googe said, about February 1. A native of Czechoslovakia, he came to this country when a year old, and ta:kl a doctorate in physiology in 1983),| end became a doctor of medicine | n 1942. For the past several years he has limited his practice to tu-| berculosis studies. The other physician, Dr. Elainc | Schwinge, who has been with the Anchorage office of the Termory.‘ will be sent to Bethel to assist Dr. | Duncan M. Chalmers, in charge. She will remain until mid-year, ac- cording to plans, Dr. Googe said, and then go outside to ottain a doctorate in physcology. The Bethel hospital administers to the ills of 8,000 persons living in the Kuskokwim area, scattered among 78 villages. Every disease known, with ex- ception of tropical ailments, con- stantly crop up in the district, Dr. Googe said, majority of cases beng tubercular. The work is too much for one doctor, and allows no time | to visit ‘the district to diagnosis troubles. | The movement; of the two doc-| tors to the federal service is not the beginning of an inter-service “raid,” Dr. Googe' pointed out, but, is an outcome of difficulties arising in budget limitations in the Terri- tory, necessitating a paring of their personnel.
