A CORVALLIS AUTHOR.
A Nnmber Of His Stories and Poems In a
Neat Little Book.

"Heart of The Valley" is the name
chosen by Mr.. Dennis Stovall for
his initial venture in the field of litera-
ture, that is with publication of his
ewn. Many of his poems and short sto-
ries have, however been published by
leading periodicals. Mr.. Stovall is a
graduate of the OAC and has made his
home so long with us that we are proud
to claim him as Corvallis boy. His
book evinces much ability on the part
of its author, and we predict brilliant
and successful future for him; for be-
sides his talent he has the push and
energy to make it SO. s'Heart of The
Valley" is on sale at the local bookstores
and should meet with a ready sale among
our people. The following is taken
from the Statesmen:
"Heart ef the Valley" is the title of a
new book recently printed by the States
man Job Office, the author being "Den-
mis- HI. Stovall, B. ST." Of Corvallis.
The volume consists of 100 pages OF in
teresting stories and poems.
Mr.. Stovall is young gentleman resi-
dent of Benton county's capital. His
Introductory page contains the words:
ITO my good old nanny and daddy
those things worth dedicating in this
book are most affectionatelY inserted by
the author"
His preface is as follows. No one
will be any more disappointed with
what is to be found in the pages of this
book than the author, for the simple rea-
son that an ideal always stands above
that which can be reached. The authors
ideal of book resembles Heart os the
Valley only in part, and he realizes fnll
well that in order for an author to reach
his ideal he must first inflict years of
punishment upon long suffering public
in imposing on their good nature by fore
ing his hooks upon the people. All ster-
les must have scene laid somewhere !;
elsewhere. Nearly all the stories and
poems comprising this little book have
their scenes laid on earth-in Oregon
and in that part known as Webfoot.
The question of their truth is left alto
gether to the judgment of the reader.
God has not created a more beautiful
place than WebfOot. There is not sun
set or dawn, or a night which passes
through the entire year,
but what the Oregonian and
the Webfooter can see in them the mar
velous beauty that the Creator has 30
generously placed around US. If those
who attempt to paint these pictures will
color them as they are, nothing more
beautiful could be given the world. The
days of the long-drawn epic
and lyric are over. The everyday Amer
lean has not the time during these days
of progress and rush to lay aside the du-
ties Of his business and spend the time
necessary to unravel the mysteries of
epical poetry. What the public de-
mands today is short, crispy productions,
interesting and to the point, that tell in
few words what authors formerly took
pages to narrate. If these specifications
are anywhere met with in Heart of The
Valley, then the author will feel that
large part of his duty has been fulfilled

any such rhort lines of travel can claim
so many victims as this and the still
