ALASKA BOOK REVIEWED
A recent issue of the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican, one of the lead
ing Eastern dailies, contains the fol
lowing comment on a new book by
Agnes Rush Burr, entitled “Alaska,
Our Beautiful Northland of Opportu
nity”:
“Another volume—the twelfth—of
the ‘See America First’ series has
been published, uniform with its pre
decessors and bearing the title,
‘Alaska, Our Beautiful Northland of
Opportunity,’ by Agnes Rush Burr.
The title page also carries a summary
of the contents that would do credit
to the posters of a five-ring circus and
still maintain a reputation for chaste
and classic English. Without quot
ing this resume of the twenty-eight
chapters, let it suffice to say that the
author has very happily covered the
ground in her choice both of material
and of diction.
“The tourist, the historian, the sci- i
entist, the business man—each may j
find congenial chapters here; indeed,
to use an old pleasantry, every reader
may find chapters that are more inter
esting than others but none that are
less. The whole book is interesting ,
whether taken seriously or in hap-,
hazard dips. There is plenty of local
color supplied, as for instance in the j
stories of the gold rush to different
points. Perhaps the book will make
the strongest appeal to the tourist, as
the publishers imply in the general
title of the series, although commercial
Interests are emphasized and the busi- j
ness opportunities of today and to- j
morrow are given proper prominence.
The author had her pen in hand,
unquestionably, in sailing the inland
passage of the northward trip and the
river ways within thl continent; for;
the unfolding panorama of islands,
glaciers, forests, cliffs, plains, moun
tains is too vividly described to be
credited to memory alone, and too real
istic to be charged to imagination.
But when one tries to follow the text
and the map at the same time the map
seems quite out of perspective with
the author’s sense of the importance
of certain towns—Fairbanks, for in
stance. It is scarcely discernible on
the map in the book.
“The illustrations, however, are sat
isfactory. Six are in full color and
there are forty-eight full-page duo
gravures, scenery predominating, as
is natural. When pioneering has prog
ressed a bit further and civilization is
more firmly established, at least along
tourist routes, this book will help in
luring shiploads of people into seeing
this far-off corner of their country.”

Are the pioneer workingmen and
other pioneers of Juneau going to let
a pair of cheechako agitators come
here and run them and the commu
nity?—Juneau Empire.
There are no days just like Juneau’s
good ones. When the sun shines oul
upon this section of the universe wt
have the best of it over the rest of ths
earth. A sunshiny day in Juneau is
indeed “a perfect day.”—Juneai
Gleam.
One Alaska editor, undoubtedly th<
greatest authority that ever lived, oi
ever will live, on sourdough ethics
once said: “The woman is alwayi
right—the man always wrong. It ii
the law of the North.” And as tha
is the spirit of the pioneers, it is re
grettable that there should live ii
Ketchikan an individual so base ai
to deliberately manufacture out o
•whole cloth a falsehood reflecting upoi
a young lady.—Ketchikan Chronicle.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
The common council of the town of
Cordova, Alaska, has instructed me to
give notice to all persons owning dogs

of Cordova that Ordinance No. 65,
which requires an anual tax of six
dollars, will be strictly enforced, and
all dogs upon which said tax has not
been paid by the 20th day of October
