IIE HISTORT OF NORTH
AMERICA." Vol. X. Br Jo-
' seph Bchafer. M. L. B. L.
Edited, by Professor Our
- Csxleton le of John Hopkins unlver
, lty. ,!;.:" ;
s As this Tolume deals exclusively with
. the history of tfce Paclflo slop and
Alaska, It naturally will excite more In
terest . and will be more largely real
west of the Rocky mountains than any
l of the nine preceding volumes of this re
markable and exhaustive history. The
personality of the author will also in
crease the Interest. In the work, as it
will be a guarantee of Its authenticity
and -reliability to those who have been
' privileged to know Professor Schafor
as head of the department of history at
the, University of pregon. .
"Oregon, the land of the mighty pine
' and the abounding salmoA; California,
the land of gold . and luscious fruit;
Idaho, whose output of valuable ore is
. matched by the product -of her graslng
plains; Washington, whose possibilities
ere limitless; Alaska, the vast empire
wherein men have found for their labor
rich rewards of precious mfttals and
. hardly less precious furs; all these make
up the Pacific slope of which we read
In the present volume." says Dr.' Ouy
. Carleton Lee In his editorial lntroduo-
'. tlon. He also points out that these
widely differing sections were populated
by antagonistic peoples; , the ' Spanlso
In California, the English-speaking In
the QregOn country, and the Musqovlte
north of "flfty-four-forty." and also that
'.this is the first adequate presentation
of the history of the slope In one vol
ume. In tbe author's preface he makes
clear the difficulties encountered in corn
"piling a history 'of this section of the
1 country, 1 and 'those who have but
skimmed the surface pf the history of
.this great northwest know how just
the claim is. that few . authentic rec
ords have been kept, fewer, newspaper
files, and that the libraries are wholly
' insufficient for great .and profound rt-
. search, . '
The-author takee op f the thread of
Tiistoryi" when at the close-cf-tne-flf-,
teenth . century the leading maritime
states of Europe .were- contending for
the commerce of India, carrying It
- through the various exploring expedi
tions which from time to time skirted,
; tbe Paclflo coast before actual discovery
' or settlement was accomplished. ' He
has also takes up, with care and atten
tton. -every fact in the- growth-and de
velopment of the country, omitting noth
ing, but carefully avoiding tiresome
nonessential details, and in this way has
carried his work along almost ' to ' the
' present day.,. -.
Three forces . he recognises a the
great upbullders of the Paclflo slope
emigration, the discovery of sold In Csl-
- ifornia and tfle transcontinental rail
roads, and a goodly portion of his book
he devotes to these agencies, while con-
- solidating them into consecutive narra
tive by corroborating facta and hlstor-
- leal data. - The author at no time enters
Into argument upon disputed points, tak
ing up no cudgels and laying down no
challenge., but gives historto tacts si m
reader and student to reach logical eon
elusions. Dr. Lee, in concluding his
editor's Introduction, says: The author
without argument is able - to present
much new light upon mooted points of
Pacific slope history. Among numerous
examples may be mentioned the Whit
man ride, the missionary influence in
"Oregon. ' " . We feel that in thess
matter , the conclusions of . Professor
Bchafer' settle controversy." In a way
this might be misleading, for Professor
Bchafer makes no- direct allusion to
' whether "Whitman saved Oregon." or
whether tbe missionaries robbed Dr. Mo
Ijoughlln, which to the mind of the av
erage Oregonlan are synonymous -with
' Dr. Lee's references.
Professor Bchafer, however, does make
very plain the fast that the larger emi
gration of IMS was not the result of
Whitman's trip, , He says: "When , the
spring of 1(41 arrived .many persons
in various parts of the west made ready
to Journey to Oregon. The movement
was largely individual, but efforts ' at
organisation were not -wanting. As early
as September of the preceding year cor
respondence committees in western Mis
souri were actively at work and the
names of Intending, emigrants were be
ing enrolled." He then explains min
utely the arrangements put forth for
this exodus, and in conclusion says:
... -w.ww- i.r w Dill

grammatist la English Literature. .,' ; ' '4 , ,

..u. e Hie services
to tbe emigrants had already been valu
able, but from iron xu"
very essential to the success of the un
dertaking." In the next chapter he says:
"So future generations in

"Th Grapple" By Grace MacGowan
Cooke. For flctlpn the author has takes
a profound subject, deep and unfathom
able to even the student and scholar ol
economics, and the solution of which
is, as' yet, beyond the greatest minds of
the century. She has chosen tbe problem
of labor and capital, the unions of em
ployed and th employer.
r In th(s grapple for supremacy between l
the two great classes of America the
employer and the employed Mrs. Cooke
has gone at th matter in a simple, clear
and unprejudiced manner, - making no
lengthy or compiles. ted arguments on
either side, but presenting them both
through a . plain ' statement of facts
snd working them out to. logical con
clusions through many iines of thought
by means of the characters of her story.
The author has taken Mark Strong,
small, alert, anergetio man, and pitted
his strength of character and brain
against a union of eoelmlners, who em
ploy a "salaried agitator" and ' are
frensled with a sense of Injustice. -
In her preface tbe author says: "Mr.
Bond Reed, who has been with the army
In Porto Rice and writes military stories,
had also served three years with a wing
of th big industrial army which fights
Its war In the eoal district of a middle
western state. Employed in the clerical
department, his attention was continually
attracted by the humorous, pathetic and
traglo aspect of . existence among men
who delve in -the dark and cold that
others may sit warm In ths light. What
ever subject was under discussion ' be
tween us. w usually earns around to
certain dauntless mlneowner who did all
that Mark Strong does in th course of
th story and perhaps a little more."
She acknowledges her obligation to Mr.
Reed, if not a working partner In its
construction." for ,Ms. .practical and per
sonal Information, and assures her readei
that Mark Strong Is yet successful and
that "Iroquois" occupies the exact spot
upon the map, which has dot with an
other nam to It."
This foundation In fact adds materially
to th Interest and practical value of the
book and besides there Is a pretty
romance that run through it and gives
It light and color, making It altogether s
very desirable book. L. C Page Co.
