One of a quartet of middle-aged adventurers tells the experiences of the four in settling upon an Oregon ranch. The labors and discomforts are humorously chronicled, and the whole genial tale breathes its text,—that the novelty and excitement of new fields is rejuvenating to those whose youth is past. A dozen photographic views illustrate the volume.
[*] “A breezy, rather likable book.”

Stephens, Robert Neilson. Flight of Georgiana. [†]$1.50. Page.
“There is nothing new or original about the story, but it has the lightness and grace characterizing predecessors from Mr. Stephens’s pen, and sword-play to spare. The scene opens at an English inn; the Pretender has failed to win the British crown; his adherents are fleeing for their lives, but, as they fly, pause to make love.”—Outlook.
