78. Grizzly Bear. (1909.) Same author.
79. The Bridge of the Gods. Frederick Balch. The writer grew up in Klickitat county. When a boy he resolved to write about the Indians of the Columbia and began collecting material by haunting their camps for days at a time. A lady who has lived in the state sixty-four years says "It is the only story that tells accurately of the early life of those Indians."
80. Chaperoning Adrienne; Through the Yellowstone. (1907.) Alice Harriman. This lady has distinguished herself in several ways, first as poetess and contributor to magazines, then as book publisher. Other books she wrote are Stories of Montana, Men Two Counties, besides poems and one juvenile work. Her house has a number of first class books to its credit. She brought out Lafcadio Hearne's Temptations of St. Anthony. She took special pride in bringing out books on western topics, as the narratives of the two Dennys and the story which become the opera Narcissa.
81. Club Stories. (1915.) Members of federated clubs. Written in competition for a prize offered by the State Federation of Women's Clubs. Of twenty-two stories submitted the twelve receiving highest rank were published. The scene of each is laid in Washington so they are full of local color and have a value apart from their literary merit. First prize was won by Mrs. Robert J. Fisher.
82. Every Child. (1915.) Gertrude Fulton Tooker. The author had previously published a few poems but when she was busier than ever before in her life, caring for two children, she found time to write this pleasing allegory. It deserves a welcome by all people who remember the visions and dreams of child-life.
83. Forest Orchid and Other Stories. (1902.) Ella Higginson.
84. From the Land of the Snow Pearls. (1897.) Same author.
85. Mariella of Out-west. (1902.) Same author. These are the stories of one who is widely known as our first story writer. Her name became known when she won, over a thousand competitors, a McClure prize for five hundred dollars. That story was "The Takin' in of old Miss Lane," 1894. Since then she has written scores of stories which have appeared in many different magazines. She has handled some types which are accepted in the far east as representative of the west and are not complimentary to the good taste and social polish of this longitude. But no author of the state has been ranked so high by the reviewers and critics. All her literary work has been done in this state. She shows constantly increasing strength.
86. Ginsey Krieder. Sarah Endicott Ober, nom de plume, Huldah Herrick.
87. Little Tommy, or Ma'am Duffy's Lesson. (1891.) Same author.
