“The Alaska Melodrama**—A Book Of
Alaska—For, And About, Alaskans.
The following review of J. A
Hellenthal’s new book, “The A1
askan Melodrama,’1 was writter
by Judge James Wickersham, pic
neer student of Alaska history
and owner of the largest librarj
in the north on Alaska affairs:
“A colorful and well writter
book about Alaska, by an Alas
ka author, is not offered to A1
aska readers every day.and wher
such a happy event occurs sucl
a one deserves a fair review'.
John A. Hellenthal—‘Jack’ tc
all his numerous and intimat<
friends—is one of the most ac
complished scholars and success
ful lawyers in Alaska, where hi
has been prominent in public af
fairs for more than a third of ;
century. His long residence ii
the Territory, his wide acquaint
anceship with its public men an<
public affairs, its mining and fisl
eries and all its varied and val
uable national resources, and hi
wide command of good Englisl
and brilliant ideas, marks hi
book as a real contribution o
value to the Territory. It is wid
lv descriptive of the 3cenic beau
ty of his homeland, gives the ir
quiring reader a careful study c
its past historical growth and
hopeful promise of its future de
velopment. His wise phiiosoph:
cal criticisms of its legislativ
structure will encourage and as
sist our public officials in th
many problems to be met in ere
ating a great new American stat
out of the rough but rich Terri
tory of Alaska.
“As you read its many brigh
chapters, if you happen to knov
the author,every tone of his voic
and every peculiarity of his rapt
speech will be reproduced ii
your imagination, and will ad<

fleet the merry twinkle of his
eyes. You will see the forward
thrust of his half burned cigar
' ette as he marks the good na#*ur
ed but always logical point of his
flashing argument—in short,there
I is personality in every line of his
; book.
"The members of the Bar As
sociation who know the author
intimately, however, wonder
where he gets the idea the book
constituted a ‘melodrama.’ It is
Alaska drama, of course, but we
cannot imagine him singing it.
Anyway, "The Alaska Melodra
ma’ is a first class Alaska book,

and ought to be in every Alaska
library where good reading, his
( tory, philosophy and the growth

preciated. We recommend it to
I Alaska readers, to all newspa

An Omission
hi Write-up of
4th Of July
In reporting the literary pro
gram of the Fourth of July cele
bration, the name of Chas. F.
Martin, editor of the North Attle
boro, Mass., Evening Chronicle,
who is spending a few weeks in
Nome, was overlooked in the
writeup following the exercises.
However, we take this oppor
tunity to say that although Mr.
Martin’s talk was an impromptu
speech, it nevertheless was very
interesting to Nomeites. He
told his audience that he was
born and raised almost within a
stone’s throw' of where the Pil
grim fathers landed, and many
other famous bits of American
history, which happened near his
surroundings, and was glad that
he had an opportunity of taking
part in the celebration at Nome.
He also stated that when he left
Nome he w’ould endeavor to be
of some help in solving our prob
lems for more development of
Alaska. At the conclusion of his
remarks he received the applause
of those present.
