It is an authentic Alaska book and it is an interesting story, chuck full of thrills. The yarn is built arouad the famous All-Alaska Sweepstakes dog races which constituted a feature of Alaska life during the active placer mining days of Nome, and it contains an announce- ment saying that the hero’s methods of training his dogs and 'his trail strategy were based upon experiences of Allan Alexander Allan, known in Alaska for many years as “Scotty” Allan, who, be- fore the advent of Sepalla, was conceded to be the greatest of all Alaska dog racers. He was later an| Alaska Legislator. Many of the incidents of the book and the tricks that were unsuccessfully used in attempts to beat the winner of the great race which is the theme of the tale are said to be based upon actualities, This is the fourth Alaska book to be produced | by Barrett Willoughby, and all of them ought to be in every Alaskan’s library. She is @ charming| writer and none presents with greater truth, or| more graphically, life in Alaska as it has been and is. Her Alaskans are real men and women and such people as all who have lived long in thel North have known. The descriptions of the Sweepstakes trail, blizzards that occasionally occurred on it, the frenzy of the over the great annual event, the gambling houses and the betting on the dog teams give permanency to conditions that are familiar to those who lived here during the period when Nome's greatest interest next to gold mining was dog rac- ing. There is in the book a clever and interesting love story about clever and interesting people. But all the people in the story are interesting—even the villains. In the end virtue is rewarded with vic- tory on the race course and the right people win in love. The story must be read to be fully appreciated. IBY'S NEW BOOK. 1hc*‘ people MR. PEKOVICH'S ANNOUNCEMENT. |the sums which Europe pays us annually in settle- xpectations. He has worked long and faithfully in prospecting and developing his properties, and financed himself in spite of difficulties that would have been unsurmountable for a less persistent and energetic man. He deserves success. May he achieve it in an abundant measure. There is considerable agitation in Great Britain in favor of dismantling her naval bases in the West Indies. She has two of them and the con- tention is put forward that it would be excellent 'evidence of British friendliness toward the United States if she would completely demilitarize her Caribbean Sea possessions so they might not be thought of as menacing the Panama Canal. | “One of the chief functions of good government,” according to Dr. Clarence True Wilson, is “putting the fear of God in the minds of those who fear neither God nor man.” So! And they used to preach that “God is love,” and te urge people to “love one another.” The Nation’s Heart Song. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) One hundred and thirty-eight years ago this week was born an American who wrote the Nation's death- less heart song—a song which has since stirred the soul of the world of men and women who love their homes. John Howard Payne was a wanderer. He saw across the years the beauty and appeal of his birthplace; in matchless words and melody he breathed the immortal sentiments so near and dear to men. He sang of the home where his infant feet had stayed, where the sweet voice of his mother sang her lullabies through golden years. He sang for millions dead, yet living, and for millions yet to be. He appealed to the universal heart—to the dweller in mansion and in cabin. Swept by the magic of his minstrelsy the soul wings backward to the days of youth, of love, of glorified affection. “Home, Sweet Home"—what song in all the world so0 touches a fundamental truth, so thrills the being with memories, memories sad and sweet and tender! It evokes pictures rarer than ever came from ar- tist’s brush. In them we see the flowers that mother loved, hear the fluting of bird-song im- mortal, see skies more glorious than any limned by Turner or sung by Shelley. To those who realize the value of a home Payne's paean takes on a quality of sanctity. It revels in the corridors of the mind and wins us| to lay tribute on the altars of the soul. It dims the eye with mists of love and longing for the long ago. Home—“Home, Sweet Home'—it is the ante- chamber to heaven through which we pass to seek the welcome of One whose name is Love. Tourists and War Debts. (New York Times.) The vacation rush for Europe is in full flood and this year's crest is reported to tower above all records. By mid-September the currencies of Europe will have profited by more than the $525,- 000,000 estimated by the Department of Commerce as American tourist expenditures last year. When it is stated, however, that American holiday disbursements on the Continent are twice ment of war debts, it is necessary to remember that American money in Europe is not all profit for the natives. Despite traditional banter it is obvious that the shelter, food and recreation pro- vided for American visitors represents a very appre- ciable investment. At the most generous estimate Europe's profits can hardly equal her war pay- ments. Nevertheless the tourist item helps considerably, especially if indirect results are counted. It has been said that Germany's economic recovery began with the stimulus of large coal sales in 1926 as the result of the British General Strike. Increased Ger- man coal sales may have been only a score of million dollars, but it was like the pitcherful of water poured down the pump. It set the flow of national productivity in motion. Something like | that must be the effect of two hundred million American dollars spent in ‘a single country, as is The announcement of Mr. Pekovich that he has financed his Funter Bay mining enterprise to the extent of providing for mining and treating 250 to 300 tons or ore daily and that the property will be in production to that capacity before the close of the present season is refreshing. If plans work out as Mr. Pekovich expects it will be an important addition to the mining industry in Southeast Alaska. Juneauites and others in this region will wish that things might develop beyond Mr. Pekovich's the case in France.

R. Grace ascribes the rapid growth of inter- American trade to the fact that the United States regards Latin Amer- ica as a source of supply and not merely a market. He just has inaugurated the first direct passenger service from New York to Buenaventura, Colombia and Guayaquil, Ecuador, with the sailing from here of the motor ship Santa Inez.
