Public Schools
Monday, September 11th, is the day
set for the opening of the Anchorage
public schools. The new school board
composed of Mrs. E. S. Reedy. I>r. J.
L. McBride and A. J. Wendler have
worked faithfully to get everything in
readiness and the school year of 1;»16
17 will start off under much more fa
vorable circumstances than last year.
The important question of finance has
been satisfactorily settled, and the
plans for the new school house are un
der way. Until such time the direct
ors will probably utilize the old Pres
byterian church for the primary stu
dents until such time as new and bet
ter-equipped quarters are provided
for.
It is expected that at least 175 pu
pils will be enrolled during the first
week, which number will probably be
swelled to 200 by the end of the first
term.
The selection of C. H. Sheets as
principal meets with universal favor,
and is extremely popular with the cit
izens of Anchorage. Mr. Sheets is
originally from the state university of
Ohio and more recently has been con
nected with some of the most import
ant schools in Oregon. He comes to
Anchorage exceptionally well recom
mended and with the efficient assist
ance of Miss Ora Dee Clark. Miss Rec
ord, Miss Bennett and Miss McNinch
there is every reason to prophesy the
school year of 1916-17 will be suc
cessful.
While the teachers have not been
assigned to their respective grade.- it
is understood that Miss Clark will re
ceive the recognition due her and have
the preference. This, too, win meet
with favor from the people of this
city who have every reason to fee! in
terested in her assignment in reward
for her untiring efforts and capable
work of last year.
The school work has not been defi
nitely planned, as there are several
matters that will have to be he’d in
abeyance until the work progress >s
and the matters adjust themselves.
However, the full four-year high
school course will be rn vogue and the
grade of work sufficient to entitle the
graduates to entry of the freshman
class of the universities. A certain
amount of money has been allowed
for a laboratory and necessary equip
ment and arrangements are being
made to institute a full commercial
course.
Again the important matter of af
filiation of the parents with the teach
ers is urged and to start in early Mon
day morning by acquiescing with the
request of the teachers to have the
pupils at school on time the parents
can show their willingness to co-oper
ate.
There is every reason to believe
that the house is not divided, but on
the contrary will work in perfect har
mony and unison .which with effici
ency, competency and energy will
doubly insure an ultra successful
school year both in discipline and ed
ucation.
“Skookum” Jim
Reaches the End
(Juneau Dispatch)
Skookum Jim, the well known In
dian who was with George Carmack
at the time the great discovery of the
Klondike camp was made, on August
17, 18%, and who passed away at
his home at Careross last month, was
the roost widely known Indian of the
north and no doubt was the richest
native ever in the Yukon. It is esti
mated that at one time he had close to
S 100,000 in virgin gold. This he pro
ceeded to spend prodigally, and but
for the interest taken in his personal
welfare by some of his old-time white
friends he probably would have spent)
it all almost as quickly as he got it.
The late Bishop Bompas and Percy
Reid, former mining recorder at Car
cross. took particular interest in the
famous old redman. and assisted him
in such a way as to make the modest
remnants of his fortune last him prac
tically until his death.
Soon after Skookum made his
strike on Bonanza he journeyed with
his wife and George Carmack to Se
attle, and there they enjoyed the ways
of the cheechaco for several months.
Skookum had so much wampum on
the trip he hardly knew how to dis
pose of it. On one occasion, when a
Seattle newspaperman went to the
fashionable hotel where Skookum was
staying and called on him and his
wife, the two Yukon redskins were
having the time of their lives opening
can after -can of fancilv labeled sal
mon and bundles of silk garments
and loads of gee-gaws.
Returning north Skookum, was
around Dawson for a time, and final- j

iv moved to Carcross. He was a na
tive of the Tagish lake district.
Skookum naturally preferred to
spend the last of his days in his na
tive district, and there settled down
at Carcross after all the fuss and fury
af the Klondike rush was over. I is
mining ground was sold to others, and
he spent much of his last several
years prospecting for new placer
ramps. A great deal of his money
.vent in that way. His last stampede
.vas made last winter to the head of
:he Liard, beyond Atlin. He traveled
many weeks through the bitterest
veather, reaching 60 or more below
:ero, with no companions but the dogs
vhich drew his sleigh. Soon after re
;uming to Carcross he was taken ill
ind never recovered. For a time he
vas at Tenakee hot springs, Alaska;
:hen in the government hospital at
A hitehorse, and finally back at Car
iross.
