Suffers Fort in 1916 and in 1856, two
striking pictures by Norton Bush, espec-

credit, and are landscapes of more than

Carlson, Instructor in the Sacramento
School of Design. a superb piece, and to
our idea the best portrait shown Its
strong relief, fine drawing, repose, excel

naturalness of the figure make a remark
ably fine art work.
The Great Falls of the Snake River"
by ". F. Jackson. Instructor in the Sacra-

that instantly commands attention on en-
tering the gallery. 1t is Mr.. Jackson's best
effort, If we may judge. In color and per-
spectiye 1t testifies to high excellence in
drawing and fine taste. The mist rising
out of the plunging waters and through the
rolling clouds of which the light CLEANS,
Is one OF the best art effects in the gallery
1t is work in which the artist can take
pride and submit 10 rigid criticism.
6. NJ. Brookes has number of still-life
pieces, fruit and fish. that are fully up to

Ernest Narjot's "a Dangerous Passage"

and bears it.
Henry Alexander has a number of pieces,
all good. The best, we Judge, is The Old
Mans Pleasure" Those who remember
Abe Warner and his cobwebbed u useum
at North Beach, San Francisco, will recog-

color and the undcrtoW effect IS one of the
very best pieces of work in the gallery.
Sunset on the Pacific Coast by j.. J..
Heath, marine of great beauty. 1t con-
veys the idea of broad expanse, impresses
one with a feeling of restfulness and
sense Of repose that is indescribable.
" Looking Down the Grand Canyon of
The Yellowstone" by W. F. Jackson, Of
Sacramento, is new piece, and that comes
into strong comparison with Hills great
piece on the opposite wall on the same
general subject. 1t is praise for it to say
that il bears the contrast and proves itself a
strong work.
Mount ChimbOrazo,n by Norton Bush,

consideration.

Mr.. Carson's unquestioned reputation as
an artist.
The two great paintings by Nahl need no
remark further than to invite leisurely at
tention to them. They tell their own
story. The artist proved his quality in
their execution, and it is confessed in the
