Lol Newspaper ! , “The Alaska Melodrama,' Praised by Literary Writer, N. Y. Times The Book Review section of the New York Times for May 3rd gives an impartial and complimentary criticism of “The Alaska Melodra- ma,” by J. A. Hellenthal, Juneau author and pioneer Alaska attorney. The article which gives enthusiastic praise of the Alaskan author fol- lows: “The reader's first impression, rom this book, is of its author’s deep ove for Alaska. It is, evidently, his own country, and what he feels for it is a passionate localized patriot- ism. And the reader’s attention is held next by Mr. Hellenthal's com- slete and bitter dissatisfaciion with what the United States Govern- nent has done in the Alaskan Pen- nsula. He is convinced that Alas- ka's real welfare has been, and is still being, sacrificed to the ignor- ance and self-interest of politics wnd he has apparently written this s00k for the purpose of making that soint plain. “The government of Alaska, he says, ‘is the worst possible under he American flag,’ and the policy of -onservation has worked out to de- yrive the Alaskan people of the neans of livelihood. In regard to he coal, oil, wood pulp, fur seal and ishing industries he lays down his ndictments, sparing neither detail 10r strong language. His book is an argument; in so far as one man can make it so, it is-a fight; he wants to start something. “Yet quite aside from all this, place of his birth. | clear, colloguial history of its dis~ | covery and expoitation, offering at MR.WILKINS 8Y AtL MEANS- eRm:u u@g slGHT ng' AHEM -, M MO - ANXIOUS TO -~ VHEM ---- MEET MY FUTURE FATHER-IN-LAW-- e 4 I DOUGLAS NEWS RETURNING TO KETCHIKAN Mrs. William Robertson and daughter, Mrs. Arthur .

Out of his love for his country Mr, Hellenthal writes,a the same time a needed differentia- tion between the various sections of the great peninsula, and between the various native peoples. The story. of the Russian commercial develop- ment under Shelikof and Baranof is exceedingly interesting; and the tales of the famous gold rushes are told, with ardent sympathy, from the miners’ point of view. Mr. Hel- lenthal has a real knack of giving life to the people in his pages; whether he is .telling his story or| grinding his axe, there is vigor in his Book.” 3 ] BODY OF S.
