The article presents information on some books of fiction. The books are: The U.P. Trail," by Zane Grey; "The Biography of a Million Dollars," by George Kibbe Turner; "On the Stairs," by Henry B. Fuller; "The Boardman Family," by Mary S. Watts; "Flood Tide," by Daniel Chase. "The U. P. Trail" attempts to interpret the drama of business as the huge enterprise, the opening of the West through the building of the Union Pacific, which was of great moment in the national existence. The virtues of sturdy Sam Thatcher in "The Boardman Family" take the highest relief against the background of Everett Boardman's elegant vacuity.
