(A m-horage Times.) “Alaska, It's Scenic Features, ueography, His- tory and Government,” by I.ester D. Henderson, Commissioner of the Territorial Department of 3 tion, a copy of which has just been received b The Times. is one of the best volumes ever written abeut Alaska. His long residence in the Territory and the accurate knowledge with which he deals with is subjects, makes Mr. Henderson's book a most worth-while publication. In a brief foreword Mr. Henderson object of the book when he This book seeks to portr: an exceedingly broad scale. Within its pages will be information on the geo- graphy, scenic features, resources, com- merce, history and government of th far-flung empire of the North. Alaska is a misunderstood land; a region con- ceived in the populer mind bounded on the north, sowth, east and west by ice and snow; inhabited by a peculiar people, living in domed ice huts and sub- sisting on walrus meat and seal oil; and as containing little of econmic value to the great Republic of which it is a part To the reader who through the succeeding pages, to show Alaska in its true light—as an inhabited and habitable land, rich in re- sources, replete with natural attractions, and abounding in opportunlty; with homes and firesides, schools, churches, and all things necessay to a full and complete life Withir the limited space of author has succeeded well in set forth to be accomplished. Ne rily the pictures have been painted with broad strokes. Details have had to be omitted in many instances. Yet anyone who will carefully read it. camnot but gain a conception of the real Alaska which, to the Territory's great disadvantage, is so sadly lacking abroad and is encountered all too fre- quently right here at home. While the book- let apparently designed mainly for ‘‘outside’ consumption, it is cf such unique value that no Alaskan who desires to have a ready reference book on his lromeland should be without it. Mr. Henderson has done the Territory a serv- ice in writing it. The success of prohibition enforcement might weighed by the fact that fewer conventions te be going to Canada.
