Announcement is made herewith
of the establishment of the Lariat
Story Magazine by Fiction House
Incorporated, which published a
half dozen similar magazines in
cluding " North-West Story f Maga
zine, All-Story. Action Story, etc.
The Lariat Story Magazine will be
On t the newstands all trer the1
country July. 15th.
Col. Hof er, publisher' fit , the
Lariat in this city has no connec
tion with the Story: Magazine and
will continue the Lariat as here
tofore. He has, however, secured
control of the Northwest Writers'
bureau, a market for all western
CUI.
stories , and verses, something the
west has never had, authors being
obliged to market their produc
tions through New York brokers.
i There la ' an almost unlimited
market for well written western
fiction, sketches of actual partici
pants in frontier life, adventures
and narrative poems of western
flavor. This type of writing is
cot devoid of romantic interest. In
the true sense it is the essence of
romance. But is evidence of stlr-
ring jiuman interest, that the fic
tion possess the element of, strong
be-man quality.-and -that Jt be
told entertainingly and' dramati
cally. There is little or no room
- for love stuff or the ordinary gar
den variety of sex literature. There
must be a real story, virile, whole
some and, If possible, of thrilling
intensity, with swift moving ac
tion - on the western . plains - and
borders of ; the old southwest or
the newer great north woods and
Alaska. Xll ' , H I '
; The new Lariat Story Maga
zine that will appear on the news
stands of the entire. English, read
lag civilized . world' will deal large
ly with stories of cowboy life, the
vaquero of the Spanish-American
border states. Here are oppor
tunities for humor and where dia
lect can be used. But the dialect,
the vernacular, the technical de
tails must be the real stuff.
It is a surprising fact that as
the stars on the speaking stage
are turning to the movies, so men
and women of literary ability are
turning to the range, the frontier,
and the great open field of pio
neer. action for literary material.
More human .hearts among .all
classes of society were touched by
Emerson Hough's "Covered Wag
on," and North of "North pf 36"
than by all the other movies tak
en from so-calley literary classics
combined. - ; '
; The wealth of fiction material
has not been exhausted in Alaska
by the -writings of Jack London
and Rex -Beach. They have only
awakened a keener interest in ac
tion stories founded upon, fact and
illuminated by the Imagination for
readers all over the" world. " The
millions, of great Britain and the
English colonies devour all kinds
of; good writing in this field, in
cluding -short' storiesi novelettes,
serials, cowboy songs, wild west
ballads and the story type , of
poetry. ' ' ' "' ' : T

Prayer has r its elements of wor

Prayer has been the comfort and
