It is consistently forceful and contains a quantity of refreshing comedy." --_Philadelphia Press_. "Bound to stand among the famous novels of the year." --_Baltimore American_. "'The Virginian' has found many imitators, but few authors have come as near duplicating Owen Wister's magnetic hero as has B.M. Bower, 'Chip of the Flying U.'"--_Philadelphia Item_. "B.M.

DILLINGHAM CO., PUBLISHERS, NEW YORK * * * * * WHAT THE CRITICS SAY OF THE RANGE DWELLERS. BY B.M. BOWER. "A clever and humorous story, delightfully clean and wholesome, and possessing enough of the dramatic and dangerous element to keep the imagination excited to the end."--_The Nashville American_. "A bright, jolly, entertaining yarn without a dull page."--_The Chicago Inter-Ocean_. "One of the most charming and appealing of all Western novels. There is action and vivacity at all times, and the reader's interest never sways for an instant. The story is admirably written and runs along smoothly at all times."--_Philadelphia Press_. "Here are every day, genuine cowboys, just as they really exist, spirited action, a range feud between two families, and a Romeo and Juliet courtship in the Far West which make easy reading. Mr. Bower knows his wild west intimately and writes of it entertainingly."--_Des Moines Register and Leader_. "Told with a good deal of humor and a lot of unusual spirit. A very clever book--one that has more atmosphere than usual, and which can be picked up at any time to fill a long felt want for excitement." --_Philadelphia Inquirer_.
