The Conquest

By EVA EMERY DYE. Being the True Story of Lewis and Clark. Third Edition, with frontispiece in full color by Charlotte Weber. I2mo, gilt top, 504 pages. $1.50.

No book published in recent years has more of tremendous import between its covers, and certainly no recent novel has in it more of the elements of a permanent success. A historical romance which tells with accuracy and inspiring style of the bravery of the pioneers in winning the western continent, should have a lasting place in the esteem of every American.

"No one who wishes to know the true story of the conquest of the greater part of this great nation can afford to pass by this book." Cleveland Leader.

"A vivid picture of the Indian wars preceding the Louisiana purchase, of the expedition of Lewis and Clark, and of events following the occupation of Oregon." The Congregationalist.

"It may not be the great American novel we have been waiting for so long, but it certainly looks as though it would be very near it." Rochester 7 imes.

"The characters that are assembled in The Conquest* belong to the history of the United States, their story is a national epic." Detroit Free Press.

Letters from an Oregon Ranch

By "KATHARINE." With twelve full-page illustrations from photographs. Square 8vo. $1.25 net.

The hours of delight, as well as those of trial, which fall to the lot of "Katharine," in creating a home out of the raw materials of nature, are chronicled with naive humor, and in a vein of hearty optimism which will make a universal appeal. This year the eyes of the entire country are on Oregon, and it is expected that a book of this kind, giving such an illuminating idea of the country, will be of great interest. The photographs which illustrate the volume are of remarkable beauty.
