A Lovely Home in the San Fernando
Valley.

IN N. minds Of the neople generally
with the idea of immense wheat farm,
alons and few have any conception Of
what has also already been accomplished
within its confines in the way Of fruit
oulture. The fruit farms generally hug
tho foot hills. somewhat back from the
main thorouobfarcs through the valley.
necessitating special journey in order
to view their beauties. A few days
since the rider took such trip to Glen
Mayo, the country seat of our worthy
Mayor, Capt. Thorn, as lovely spot As
exists in Southern California.
About two miles from town we left
the reoular valley road. branching off to
the northward. through a spur Of the
foot hills among which we wound about
and in and out for a mile or two, when
a lovely view burst upon our vision of q
cultivated valley beyond, being in fact q
portion Of the main San Fernando val
ley, which might also have been reached
by following the main road, first trav-
srsed, few miles further up the valley,
and cross-road turning from it at right
angles in northeasterly direction. The
foot hills road. however, is the shorter,
traversing the hypothenuse Of triangle,
as it were.
Two or three miles more of hill and
valley and we find ourselver on the Can.
tain's land. and. with sharp turn. we
swing mn the avenue leading to the
house. n.ssiug first. through Young
vinevard tban tbrouob an orange or.
ohard and large space imme diately
abort the house, reserved for lawn and
ornamental grounds, the latter surround
cd by fine cypress hedge.
The mountains rise abruptlv in the
rear Of the house. from which the
ground slo,es oradually toward the cen.
ter of the valley. The house itself il a
modest one. sometime to be replaced by
a mansion. batter suited to It's beautiful
surroundings The Captain has. also.
erected another cottage not far distant,
to the right and rear, which he expects
to occupy as a temporary home for his
family in snmper. the first house being
relocated to the use of the workmen. who
will in turo occunv the cottage when
driven from their present Quarters. in
order to make way for the building of
the final mansion house. the location
for which is certainly unrivaled, if
eoualled in the State.
