"OLD YUKON' IS
 GIVEN PRAISE BY JUNEAU AUTHOR
Jud dge Wickersham's New Book Exceptional Says
 Writer of" "Melodrama'

The Empire reporter called on J. A. Hellenthal, author of Alaska Melodrama," today and asked him what he thought of Judge Wick ersham's book, The Old Yukon. D
 Well" said he, Judge Wicker sham has written book of excep- tional merit. The Judge has always been forceful man, and as such he has developed a forceful style. All this lends charm to the book, but the book is more than good literature.
 The Judge came to the Yukon Basin at a time when but little was known about the interior of Alaska. He watched the work of discovery and development and took an important part in it. He tells how the courts were established and how the people reacted to the reign of law. He tells us how the wilderness was conquered and how communities sprang up over night He, himself, made 8 voyage of ex- ploration, that took him through the then unknown wilderness to 6 point well up the slope of Mt Mckinley. He didn't reach tho summit, but he pointed the way and blazed the trail for those who reached it later. Enroute, he pass. ed through two primitive nativ, villages. What he says about thes. native villages is especially inter. esting, because there never again will be native villages in Alasks just like these-the extension of tn, white mans influence has since made such villages impossible.
 The Judge also tells us abou the first floating court; he tell. us how Fairbanks started as { trading post and developed into 2 modern city; he tells the story ol the Nome scandals; he describe. the Valdez trail before the highway was built-all in all, he presents { record of what transpired during those early days such as no ont else could have prepared-he alone has the facts.
 Alaska is greatly indebted tC Judge Wickersham for having made the valuable data in his possession a matter of permanent record. The Old Yukon is a most interesting and, at the same time, a mos valuable book" said one Juneal author of book about Alaska abou another Juneau authors book abou Alaska.
