!" Through the Ten Thousand Islands of Alaska Is Title of Latest Book by the Rev. H. P. Corser.

A HSW puDlICdllOu Dy d HIdil- gell writer that will no doubt win favor has appeared in print re- gently. It is Through the Ten Thousand Islands of Alaska" by H. P. Corser, M. S., who is also the author of Totem Lore,' and is published by the "The Nugget Shop" Juneau.
 The new booklet consists of lectures which the author has given at various times. These are six in number and describe and explain everything of interest to the traveller in Southeastern Alaska. No attempt has been made to tell about the entire Ter ritory but the parts which are most frequently visited are given careful attention, beginning with the Ketchikan District, including Wrangell. the Wrangell Narrows, Petersburg, Taku. Juneau, Lynn Canal, Skagway and the White Pass and ending with Sitka. Alaska history is touched upon in the last lecture. A large number of excellent cuts illustrate the subject matter and add to the at- tractiveness of the book as a whole. There are vivid descrip- tions of the glaciers that are of such interest to the Alaska trav- eler and the lectures teem with instructive comments and facts about the scenic grandeur and wonderful resources of the Terri tory. Besides the lectures by the author. there is poem, Sunset in Alaska" by Grace A. Towers (Mrs. John T. Towers) and an interesting, illustrated chapter on "The Canning Process" by c. A. Carlson. The purpose of the publication is fully set forth by Rev. Corser in the Introduc- ton which reads as follows:
 Of the making of many books there is no end, and therefore even a booklet demands an apology and a reason for its existence.
 Many hooks have been written about Alaska; their number is Le- zion.
 But most people who have writ ten have end-avored to cover the wh ple Territory and consequently the part oi the Territory which most travellers visit has been very made quately treated.
 The purpose of this booklet is to specially descrihe Southeastern Alaska which consists largely of the Alexandrian Archipelago.
 There is a further reason: For two years the writer vas lecturer for the Pacific Coast Steamship Company.
 It was his business as such to give such facts and suggestions as would make the excursion more beneficial and enjoyable. The re- suit was that he was urged by tour ists again and again to publish his lectures. This request was second ed by officials of two of the Alaska steamship companies.
 The territory which will be de- scribed extends from the southern end ot Alaska on the mainland, 20 miles inward until it reaches the British possessions; and North ward for about five hundred miles to Skagway and includes all the thousands of islands to the Vest ward of this region.
 An effort will be made to describe its ccenery, it's geology. it's fish, and its flora.
 It will give the history of the different towns along the way and tell about their resources.
 It will give something about the natural history of ice and some thing about its mineral resources it will also give a glimpse of the undeveloped resources of Alaska.
