Mirk of the WoodK, by Alaska Blacklock.
At bookstores in this city.
Here we have a splendid, virile novel,
of 222 pages, written by a Portland
clergyman (who wishes his real name
kept secret) and printed by the Jensen
Publishing Company Press, this city. It
Is copyrighted by J. E. Jenson, and
dated "the Autumn of 1916."
"Nick of the Woods" is a story of
lumber camps, the scenes deoicted be
ing principally in Michigan. It reflects
the activities of lumbermen, merchants,
farmers, mechanics, millmen, rivermen,
shingle-weavers, shanty-boys, etc. The
action of the books opens on the Big
Muskegon River in the early '70s. Two
young Irishmen, Nick and Max, arrive
at a lumber camp and get work. The
boss says: "Go to the van, pick out
your saw, hang your axes, cut your
measure, chamfer your wedges, get a
chore-boy to fix you up in a bunk, and
go to work tomorrow." The job is at
Norway Haul.
Life in the deep woods is graphically
pictured. There is plenty of good,
rough food, high wages and the time
"just after the age of pork and beans,
and just after the advent of cereals."
"Pancakes and molasses, brown bread
and beefsteak, potatoes and turnips,
ham and eggs, coffee and catsup,
pickles and crackers, canned peaches
and raisin pie was the weekly course,
and the man was not born and his
mother was dead who would kick on
the chuck of Norway Haul."
Nick is hurt in an accident, and his
nurse is Sister Amelia, a Catholic reli
geuse. Nick, who is also a member of
that church, secretly loves Sister Ame
lia, and she secretly loves him, but no
avowals are made by either party.
Black Wolf, a physical giant, and bad
man of the woods generally, also loves
the Sister. For his own peace of mind,
Nick, as soon as he recovers from his
wound, leaves the scenes of Norway
Haul, and hires himself as saw-expert
at a distant camp. A fist fight is
narrowly averted between Nick and the
Wolf. Nick saves his wages and in
vests In timber land, while Max turns
out to be a drunkard. Madame Corbett,
wholesale poisoner, arrives on the
scene. Minnie, a good cook, likes
Nick, but the latter still loves Sister
Amelia. Black Wolf is supposed to be
accidentally drowned. Nick visits the
hospital where he left Sister Amelia,
and is sorry to hear that she had left
for the West.
The scenes shift suddenly to the
Willamette Valley, where Nick meets
with the most dramatic adventure in
his entire life. He and Sister Amelia
meet unexpectedly.
Voire Fundamental, by Harold Hurlbut. 71
cents. .1. Fischer & Bros., New York City.
After reading every word of this
hook of sane, good advice for the stu
dent, singer and voice instructor, the
observant reader reaches the conclu
sion t'.iat what Mr. Hurlbut says about
voice training and voice fundamentals
1 true because Mr. Hurlbut is himself
a first-class dramatic tenor. His sing
ing shows that he knows by experience
and training what he is talking about.
This little book has a friendly tone,
and its message i so clearly expressed
that the youngest singer can find no
difficulty in understanding what is
meant. The language used is that of
every day.
Surely the time is past when the vet
eran voice instructor sums up singing
lessons in one word: "Repertoire"
without any advice as to tone building
or tone production. Mr. Hurlbut shows
in his book that he is a voice builder,
and his singing in public showe also
that he is schooled in repertoire.
It would not be fair to the sale of
this book to quote liberally from it.
Buy the book. It is wortj while. It
only extends to 50 pages.
The chapter heads are: Breath Sup
port and Control; The Open Throat;
Tone Placement; Vowel Formation,
and Daily Practice.
It is refreshing to know that Mr.
Hurlbut, a Portland tenor, does not be
lieve in a etereotyped vocal "method,"
but in vocal diagnosis and treatment.
What he says about "blowing" the
tone, rat'.ier than "singing" it; a "free"
tongue; loose lower jaw; the use of the
soft palate In the production of "head"
tones; vocal mental concept all these
and more belong to advice that ought
to be followed.
The Fntmible Peace, by Roland HiiRins. 1.25.
The Century Co., New York City.
Here we have a cool, nonpartisan
discussion over the elements by which
peace may stop the present world war.
Mr. Hugins is not pro-ally or pro
German, and he finds fault, sometimes,
with both belligerent camps. His book
is neutral in the sense that he thinks
the United States of America is "the
only high-minded power in the world."
Mr. Hugins is not a pacifist, but a
cordial believer in and worker for pre
paredness. It would not be fair to say
exactly just what our author's reme
dies are to bring about peace. One of
them is formation of an international
legislature, with power behind it to
make its decisions obeyed. Mr. Hugins
thinks that the United States needs a
regular Army of 400,000 men. with
short-term enlistments and a growing
body of reserves, and a Navy second
only to that of Great Britain.
There are 15 chapters in the book.
Some of the titles are: The Collapse
of Pacifism, War for War's Sake, Blood
and Bones, The Militaristic Circle,
Profits of Aggression, The Politics of
Peace, The Best England, Yankee
Ethics and Double-Barreled Prepared
ness. Roland Hugins is instructor in eco
nomics at Cornell University, of whic-
he is a graduate and fellow. For a
considerable time he has been inter
ested, in an unofficial way. In the
peace movement, and in 1914 was a
delegate to the Summer school and
peace conference held under the direc
tion of Norman Angell, in London.
How the World Makes Its Living, by Logan
Grant McPherson. $2. The Century Co..
New York City.
Mr. McPherson is an eminent rail
road man, author and lecturer on eco
liomic subjects.
This admirable book ia the result of
20 years' business preparation, and is a
simple, easily understood and intell
gent exposition of the economic life
or society. its task is that it dis
cusses on a sane basis subiects on
which the average man and woman do
not usually bother about. Tet to be
well informed one must have a speak
ing acquaintance with them.
The book stresses the fact that no
one can live under the conditions of
civilization without benefiting by the
worn or otners. that economic activitv
which constitutes business is the ex
change of things and services.- As
instrumentalities which have furthered
this exchange of things and services
that underlies civilization, the author
presents the development and the
meaning of utility, property, value,
capital, interest, wages, prices and
profit. He outlines the functions of
insurance and speculation, the cause
ana eitect or crises and panics. He
traces the development of the working
organization of business, of the In
creasing dependence upon accounts and
statistics.
Years of My Youth, by William Dean How
ells. !. Harper & Bros., New York City.
American readers are fairly well ac
quainted with Mr. Howells In the light
of his later literary works. But few
of us have read of Mr. Howells in his

is an opportunity to remedy this.
In "Years of My Youth" Mr. Howells
writes with pleasant, discoursive style.
almost intimate. He tells of his birth
at Martin's Ferry. Belmont County,
Ohio, March 1, 1837; of his childhood,
schooling, college days, reading law.
newspaper work on the Ohio State
Journal and other papers, and the
period of the Civil War.
The closing paragraphs are not as
literary as one might suppose: they
re about a position as United States
Consul at Rome, Italy, offered him by
President Lincoln. Howells mentions
that no salary was attached to the
position and that the consul was sup
posed to live from the receipt of fees
at the consulate. Howells thought
then as he had written a life of Lin
coln that the latter ought to award
the consulate "as had happened with
Hawthorne, who had written the life
of Franklin Pierce."
Skinner's Iress Suit," by Henry Irving
Dod?e. f,l. Illustrated. Houghton, Miff
lin Co., Boston.
Surely no other than an American
could have written such a merry,
wholesome story a story that is so
typically American.
William Manning Skinner is a
cashier-clerk with McLaughlin & Per
kins, Inc., New York, and when he
asks his employers for an advance In
salary, he is refused. Skinner told his
wife who had egged him to ask for
the raise that his salary was advanced
$10 per week. Of course, this was a
lie, but from that period Skinner's for
tunes began to mend.
Because his wife ordered him to do
so. Skinner bought a swell drees-suit
costing $90. He and his wife began to
spend more money than usual, and
Skinner's employers thought that he.
their cashier, was robbing them. They
schemed to send him away on a vaca
tion, so that they could hire an ex
pert to examine his books and esti
mate the probable deficiency.
By this time. Skinner was a "swell"
dresser. He is sent by his firm to win
out on a business deal at St- Paul,
Minn., and how he does it well, it's
American.
The Kegs of the City, by Oscar Graeve. f 1.35.
The Century Co., New York City.
Not a novel for babes, but for ma
ture folks. It is bold, dramatic and con
tains one surprise after another. At
the same time, the novel is unbalancing.
French novelists sometimes write such
a reckless novel about love being all
in all. and marriage only a thing to
be shattered at convenience, but rarely
does an American novelist cross the
forbidden paths.
David Wells and Nora Davenport are
playmates as children, and they live at
Bay Ridge, a suburb of Brooklyn, N.
Y. Years pass. David loves Nora, and
she doesn't care for him. David goes
out into the business world, succeeds,
and has an "affair" with NelL Nora has
a similar "affair" with Walter Brad
ford. David marries Evelyn Foster, and
they have one child. Even that tie does
not make the husband and father de
cent. A lurid indictment appears of monied
New York life, picturing principally Its
vicious elements. Still, vicious folk like
David Wells exist. Who knows but our
author writes "The Keys of the City"
as a terrible warning, a type of a man
to shun?
Gleanings From Old Shaker Journals, com
piled by Clara Dndlcott Sears. "fl.25.
Illustrations. Houghton, Mifflin Co.,
Boston.
There is little or no literature "in
the world" which gives any dependable
information relating to the United So
ciety of Believers, otherwise known as
Shakers, a sect that is said to have
started "in the latter part of the 17th
century" (p. 5). The faith had its ori
gin in the Camisards, of France, who
began to be known about the year 1688
The book is really informing, and
tells its message without any bitter
ness. The old Shaker settlement at
Harvard, Mass., receives suitable men
tion.

The Vampire of the Continent, by Count E.
von Reventlow. $1.25. Jackson Press,
New York City.
Quite a sensational book, and cer
tain to be, alternately lauded and
abused. It is the explanation of the
military party in Germany believing
that England schemed deliberately to
bring on the present war, that England
Is a robber nation, that Germany is
the pure, spotless one, and that Eng
land is the vampire or the big beast
that gobbles up smaller nations.
The publishers say that 300 copies of
this book were mailed to this country,
and that 299 were abstracted from the
American mails by the hated British.
It Is also asserted that the sole copy
that arrived, and from which this
American edition has been printed,
came here on the German submarine
"Deutschland."
"Not a single Englishman," proceeds
Count zu Reventlow, "is to be found
among the pioneers who prepared the
way for the great discoveries of the
15th and 16th centuries. Neither do
we find among the English any record
of journeys like those accomplished by
the vikings of old journeys under
taken for the sole pleasure of adven
ture, and exploring unknown and dis
tant regions. The news of the in
credible wealth derived by Spain and
Portugal from those oversea posses
sions which the genius of their citi
zens had permitted them to discover,
gave the English chronic insomnia.
They had themselves neither discovered
nor taken possession of anything.
What, therefore, more natural for them
than the idea of stealing from others
what these others possessed?
"In other words, the English simply
coveted that which others possessed:
and they were angry that others had
it and not themselves. The planned in
vasion of England by a Spanish army
stationed in Holland, has become, for
British statesmen, a never-to-be-forgotten
nightmare. From that day on
the decision was taken, never to allow
Belgium and Holland to come under
the influence of any power save Eng
land. As soon as the power of Spain
had been broken, England's interest
was absorbed by a new problem how
to prevent the Netherlands from be
coming themselves a strong sea
power." Shakespeare and Ireclotis Stones, by George

Valley Willamette. They did not care
for books, those ex-hunters of old
Champoeg; their children enlisted
again with the fur traders and kept
up family traditions of brigade and
campflre.
Taya Dellsrbt Indian Heart.
Now and then a Boston ship in the
Columbia irritated Dr. McLoughlin. For
the Hudson's Bay Company was above
all things a monopoly. No notion had
they of dividing trade with another.
Once a Boston captain brought in a lot
of Yankee toys. The delighted Indians
ran to trade their furs for squeaking
cats and dogs, wooden soldiers and
Jumping Jacks, little red wagons and
tin whistles. To stop this Dr. McLough
lin bought brig and cargo and engaged
the captain to serve the Hudson's Bay
company, ,
Settlers' Coming Resented.
The annual ship from London was
due in the river In March. This
brought merchandise and carried away
furs. Even earlier than this a train
of barges left Vancouver for the
Northland, bound for Canada. AVith
gay farewells and fluttering plumes,
they went up the great river, past
Hood In her snowy mantle, past cas
cades, dalles and falls, past shoots and
cataracts and gems of islands, past
Walla Walla at the river's bend, past
Okanagan. on up into the Flathead
country, on up into the very head
stream of the Columbia, in the Rock
ies. Over the heights the voyageurs
went on snowshoes. then by portages
and little lakes and streams, gained
the great Saskatchewan, a river longer
than the Mississippi, and, floating,
floating eastward, came to Winnipeg,
where Canadian letters and supplies
from York Factory met them for the
return trip to Fort Vancouver.
The annual ship from London and
that overland brigade from Canada
were the two links of communication
with the outside world. Newspapers
a year ana two years old were brought
and stored away In chests at Fort
Vancouver, to be brought out one by
one eacn morning, that here in th
lonely forest these hermit knights of
traae mignt read the Daily London
Times. There was a library with
good books at Fort Vancouver and

DUMMY COMPANIES FOUND
District Attorney's Orrice Tells How
Man, Held, Operated.
NEW YORK. Nov. 15. Six dummy
companies through which Emll Erber,
also known as Joseph Marshall, now
held In police headquarters on a charge
of grand larceny. Is said to have de
frauded merchants and other business
men out of thousands of dollars were
uncovered by Assistant District Attor
ney Emmett Murphy, of the Bureau of
Commercial Frauds. The names of these
companies Mr. Murphy said were as

Spencer Company, the International
Munitions & Supply Company. the
Automobile Products Company, all of
37 East Nineteenth street, and the Im
perial Cloak & Suit Company, of Perth
Am boy, X. J.
Mr. Murphy said that Erb bought
goods from merchants, paying them
with drafts on the Marshall-Spencer
Company, aligning the checks himself
as Marshall and countersigning the
name of the fictitious Spencer to them.
All of the checks have been returned
marked "no funds," Mr. Murphy added.

settlers came more and more, until
fields and gardens bloomed where the
hunter lately set his traps. Of courso
the Hudson's Bay men did not encour
age settlers, but when a needy ad
venturer actually presented himself at
the gates of Fort Vancouver the great
hearted doctor could not send him off.
He employed him if he could or ha
loaned him food and clothes and seeds
to start a farm. Of course the com
pany lost by this $60,000 was the re
puted record when McLoughlin died.
The Indians did not like to see the
settlers coming; they feared invasion
of their lands. The first large immi
gration came In 1843. As the boats
neared the shore at Fort Vancouver
an Indian said: "Let us kill these Bos
tons." McLoughlin caught the word.
Grasping his cane, he seized the mis
creant by the throat. "Who says
that?" he cried, shaking the speaker
like a rat. "I do not." said tho
Indian, "but the .Dalles Indians say
so!" "Well. sir. the Dalles Indians ara
dogs, and you. too. if you talk that
way!" The Indian slunk away.
In his anxiety lest harm should come
to the people in the boats McLoughlin
hastened down to the water's edge and
took them by the hands, to show tho
watching Indians that they wore his
friends. He ordered bonfires built to
dry their clothes and fed many at his
table in the fort. On stormy nights
the beds were filled with tired women
and little children, and the Hudson's
Bay clerks grumbled that the doctor
turned them out of their warm quar
ters to accommodate "these immi
grants." Did not McLoughlin know the com
ing of these settlers meant the ruin of
the fur trade? Did he not know this
loosing of the floodgates meant Amer
ican occupation? He must have known;
but so long had he lived among Indians
that every white man was his brother,
and as such was warmed and fed arnl
helped upon his way. In McLough
lin's eyes a white woman was a su
perior being and little children of th
whites were sacred. The fur com
pany blamed him up ' from their head
quarters In Lomli Vmanded an ex
planation. "My lords." answere McLoughlin.
"how could I refuse food to those
starving Immigrants? My duty to hu
manity was superior to mv duty evert
to the fur company." And so McLough
lin lost his place and the noble-hearted
philanthropist became the father of
Oregon and the founder of Oregon City,
He sleeps now In the Catholic church
yard on the banks of the shining Wil
lamette and every boat that passes may
see his old home on the hilltop over
looking the town and the river hej
loved. Some day the generous heart
of Oregon will erect there a statue of
the great fur trader who rescued tho
Americans and fed their hungry littlo
children.
