AXCIKXT BOOKS ARE
OF MUCH VALUE
It ts doubtful if there are over a
score of people in Juneau—or per
haps in all Alaska—who have a real
appreciation of the true value of the
Alaska Historical Library. The
books of law. travil and the many
sciences may only be of use to those
interested in those branches of learn
ing: the many government reports
—enough to fill a library in them
selves—will be of bpedal interest to
those doing research work; bound
volumes of all the early newspapers
printed in the teri'ory give an au
thentic, first hand description of
life in Alaska in the pioneer days
and should he of Interest to every
one. The educatioaal and practical
value of this collection of books and
documents is beyond estimate, but
their value can never be realized un-l
less the public taK*s more interest
in the library than It has in the past
Several volumes are of extreme
Interest, not so much because of
their historical Interest—which Is
great—but because they are unique
museum specimens. The most im
portant of these is a volume entitled
"A History of Lapland." published
in 16T4. The title bears the inscrip
tion: "The History of Lapland
wherein are shewed the original
manners, habits, customs, conjura
tions, etc.. of that people, written by
John Shefferus, professor of law and
rhetoric at I'pson in Sweden. Pub
lished at the Theatre in Oxon, to be
t sold by George West and Amos Our
tein." This book was written and
published over 246 years ago, al
most two hundred years before the
Revolutionary War. It is written
iu very good English, even accord
ing to our modern standards, tho
the wording is quaint at times and
old-fashioned lettering and spelling
Is used. It is well illustrated with
drawings made from life by a very
good artist. These drawings were
probably printed from wood cuts, as
it is doubtful if any other means of
printing illustrations were known at
that time A detailed description
of Lapland and its people is given
and. except for the difference in
I spelling and printing, this book
| would be very similar to our mod
I ern histories.
I Other books, almost as ancient,
are of more special interest to Al
askans. as they are more closely
connected with our early history
One of these, a book of engravings
is entitled. "Engravings in Connec
tion With the Travels of Saritchov."
Tfcese engravings are illustrations of
scenes in Kamchatka. Unalaska and
tho Aleutian Islands, together with
pictures of the people, their villages,
houses, etc. The volume is priuted
in Russian and. though not dated,
was probably published soon aftar
S:iritchov's return in the early part
of the eighteenth century, making
it from 150 to 200 years old. The
engravings—doubtless etchings on
copper—are works of art and show
a conscientious attention to detail
and real knowledge of the country
and its people on the part of the
artist, though his name is not men
tioned in the hook.
j A collection of charts bearing the
I title. "Atlas to Accompany Vancou
ver's voyage," published about 179^
J is of more direct interest to us of
| Southeastern Alaska, as these charts
| are the first made of the Northwest
coast of the Pacific ocean by a man
really competent far such work.
They are surprisingly accurate when
one considers the limited facilities
at Vancouver's command.
Another large volume containing
G5 etchings was published about
17S1 to accompany the record of
Captain Cook's voyage in 1778-79.
These etchings picture the lives of
• the people, with their customs and
manners of living. Some are made
from drawings brought home by
members of the expedition, but it is
I evident that most of these etchings
were made from second-hand in
formation and imagination, as the
physiognomy and clothings of the
i Indians are distinctly Caucasian and
• bear little resemblance to the Na
tives as we know them.
Among the more modern docu
ments are the reports of the cus
tom house at Sitka during the first
year of the occupation of Alaska by
the Americans, comprising the man
ifest of all ships coming to Alaska
In IS68. together with all tonnage
j registered in that year. These are
only a few of the many instructive
and interesting books which can be
seen and read in the rooms of the
Alaska Historical Library and are
for the use of the public.—Strol
ler's Weekly.
And only the Master shall praise us,
And only the Master shall blame,
And no one shall work for money.
And no one shall work for fame:
But each for the ioy of the work
ing
And each In his separate star
Shall draw the Thing as he sees it
For the God of the things as they
are.
—Kipling.

Backache isDiscouraging
j Rut \o« So Bail If You Know How
to Roach the Cause
Nothing more discouraging than a
constant backache. Lame when you
awaken, pains pierce you when you
bend or lift. It's bard to work or
to rest. Backache often indicates
bad kidneys and calls for prompt
treatment. The best recommended
remedy Is Doan's Kidney Pills. Prof
it by this nearby resident's experi
ence:
H. J. Snow. 142! N. Howard St.,1
.Spokane, Wash., says: "I was having
a good bit of trouble with my kid
neys. They became awfully weak
and sharp pains caught me in my
back when I least expected them
I was in miserable shape and it was
almost impossible f>r me to lift any
thing. Doan's Kidney Pills were
recommended to me and they cured
me of all this trouble." (Statement/
given June 12th, 1917).
On June 3rd. 1929. Mr. Snow add-1
ed: "The cure which I told about I
in my statement of 1917 has been!
permanent. I gladly recommend!
Doan's Kidney Pills."
