Gas Engines and Launches. 
Their principles, Types and Management. By Francis 
K. Grain, 132 pages. Price, $1.25. 
Here is a pocket manual indispensable to every man 
who uses a motor-boat. It deals in simple, untcchnical 
fashion with the running of the marine gas engine, and 
with the difficulties that the marine gas engineer is likely 
to meet with. These engines are described, some pages 
are devoted to launches in general, with practical advice 
to the man who contemplates purchasing a power boat. 
The main feature of the book, however, is a clear descrip¬ 
tion of the difficulties met with in running a gas engine, 
their uses and how to remedy them. In this discussion 
all technicalities are avoided, and the author has boiled 
down a vast amount of practical knowledge into small 
space and into every-day language. The amateur power 
boat man needs this book, for it will save him much 
time and trouble, and probably not a little money.

Uncle Lisha's Shop. 
Life in a Corner of Yankeeland. By Rowland E. Robin¬ 
son. Cloth. 187 pages. Price, $1.25. 
The shop itself, the place of business of Uncle Lisha 
Peggs, bootmaker and repairer, was a sort of sportsman’s 
exchange, where, as one of the fraternity expressed it, 
the hunters and fishermen of the widely scattered neigh¬ 
borhood used to meet of evenings and dull outdoor days 
“to swap lies.”

Men I Have Fished With. 
Sketches of character and incident with rod and gun from 
childhood to manhood; from the killing of little fishes 
and birds to a buffalo hunt. By Fred Mather. Il¬ 
lustrated. Price, $2.00. 
It was a happy thought that prompted Mr. Fred Mather 
to write of his fishing companions. The chapters were 
received with a warm welcome at the beginning, and 
have been of sustained interest. The "Men I Have 
Fished With” was among the most popular series of 
papers ever presented to Forest and Stream readers.

Canoeing in the Northwest. 
Portland, Ore.. April i.— Editor Forest and 
Stream: A great many articles have been 
written about our climate, scenery, hunting, fish¬ 
ing and commercial advantages, but I presume 
that there are very few of my readers who know 
that we have the finest place in the world for 
canoeing. 
Out here in the Pacific Northwest we can 
paddle our canoes the year around, although 
there are about three months when we have 
only a few favorable days, but the rest of the 
year we can usually depend on good weather. 
During July and August you can go on your 
vacation with the absolute certainty of fine 
weather every day you are gone. We do not 
have the severe and sudden thunderstorms or 
the heavy winds which so often spoil canoeing 
in the East. 
The Williamette River, which runs through 
Portland, affords one of the finest places for 
canoeing that one could ask. On one side you 
can see four snow-capped mountains, Mt. 
Helens. Rainer, Mt. Adams and Mt. Hood. On 
the other there are a series of hills which rise 
to the height of 1,100 feet. These hills shut off 
the prevailing winds, the result being that the 
river is usually very quiet, and as it is only a 
quarter of a mile wide, it can never become very 
rough. 
Twelve miles north of Portland the 
Williamette River joins the Columbia. Just a 
few miles south of Portland the character of the 
river changes and instead of a channel deep 
enough for the largest ocean vessel, the river is 
filled with numerous small islands, and without 
stretching one’s imagination a great deal, you 
can think that you are among the islands of 
Georgian Bay. 
Seattle has Lake Union, Green and Washing¬ 
ton, the latter one of the finest fresh-water lakes 
in the country for canoeing, and in addition 
Puget Sound may be used. Tacoma, Wash., 
Vancouver and Victoria, B. C., also have a 
splendid place on Puget Sound for canoeing, as 
their harbors are more sheltered than at Seattle. 
Portland has the Williamette River and 
Columbia River for its cruising ground. Puget 
Sound affords an almost unlimited cruising 
ground. The Fraser River in British Columbia 
is also a fine place for cruising. Then there is 
the Coeur D’Alene Lake country near Spokane, 
the upper Columbia and Lake Chelan; in fact.

prehensive, 40 diagrams, 9 folding drawings and 8 full- 
page plans. That portion of the book devoted to the

the best and most approved methods.
