DEDICATION. 



To the man or woman who loves a tree or flower, 

 the green grass, or the voices of nature, the sing- 

 ing birds, "The complaining brooks that make 

 the meadows green." 



To the man or woman of whatever nationality 

 who has become the landed proprietor of a part of 

 this glorious free Northwest and who is willing to 

 work to make a beautiful home, and to "Make 

 Home Beautiful," this little work is respectfully 

 and warmly dedicated by 



THE AUTHOR.
