DIR. BENTON B. WHITING

remarkable man and an outstanding figure in the early days of Alaska is lost to the world by the death in Seattle yesterday of Dr. Fenton B. Whiting the age of 67 years Dr Whiting was real Alaskan and though for quarter of century he had made his residence Outsde he was truly of Alaska and his love for the great virgin Territory never waned His own words in his An Alaskans Ode to Alaska" at the conclusion of his book Grit Grief and Gold, depicts better than anything his love for the North:
 I love thee, my God-best homeland,
 Whereer fond memory strays;
 love thy dayless endless nights,
 Thine endless nightless days
 love thy chilling wintry blast
 Thine gladstone, welcome Spring,
 I dream at night of the Northern Light
 Alaska my country of thee sing.
 Dr. Whiting came north with Michael J. Heney in the nineties and served Chief Surgeon during the entire construction period of the White Pass and Yukon Railway and the Copper River and Northwestern when the latter a great builder pushed those roads through the virgin wilderness of Alaska. He lived through those dazzling hectic days at Skagway when the hordes pushing over the Chilkoot trail and later in booming Cordova when the steel ribbon of the Copper River was driven into the country
 "A fortnight straight-shooting hard hitting man his Chief admired and Alaska calls her own" Rex Beach, the Alaskan author described him. An excep- tonaly big man, towering well above his fellows, Dr Whiting a man of great intelligence, keen humoi and admirable personality. No man was more uni versally liked. He knew how to handle people and gain their lasting friendship Those who knew him well say there never dull moment when Dr Whiting around, his sparkling wit and ready, in- telligent conversation being the life of any group
 Though physician and surgeon by profession, Dr Whiting also was forceful writer and his book Grit Grief and Gold" written around the building of the White Pass and Yukon is masterful and gripping in- depreciation of those golden vvidly colorful days n the North His well told stories of George Carmack dscoverer of the Kondke; M. J. Heney the railroad builder; "Stikne Bill" and many others all a part of gamorous epoch which will live the longer through Dr. Writings graphic descriptions.
 Known to all older Aaskans and hundreds oi younger the doctor had countless friends through the states for friend always friend his gospel and he made friends by the wherever he went
 As time marches these strong men who made the north pass on with it, but the going of no one leaves greater void than the death of Fenton Whiting; friend of and devoted disciple of Alaska.
