be desired. The fact that frost never
forms IN the ground here and also that
rain as much as it may the porous earth
( absorbs the water as fast as it falls ac-
| counts for the durability of such light
and superficial supporting walls.
! There are comparatively few two story
buildings, the prevailing residences be-
ing what are called cottages" The
first floors are elevated from four TO
eight feet above the ground, and are sup
ported upon 2 by 4 scantlinc stood on
end. The frame and floor joists are put
| down, and the floor is laid before the
house proper is framed. Then the stud
ding is put up, resting on the floor. and
the framework thus completed. The
siding Is nailed on and holds che frame
together. The basement is rarely uti-
hzed otherwise than as a "Catch all" for
odds and ends. One corner may be
tiOOred and used as laundry. and a coal
bin is also boxed off in one corner. The
object of these high Easements is partly
to get away from the dampness of win
ter, and also to give the sand fleas a do
main of their own.
In this way also the windows Of sleep
ing apartments are elevated above the
line of vision Of passing pedestrians and
peppers In rare instances kitchens
and dining rooms are finished in the
Easements, and where Chinese servants
are kept they have kennel in the unfin-
ished basement
Very rarely are sleeping rooms pro-
vided in the attics. The ruieis 70 have
from four to SIX rooms on theanain floor,
and dining rooms serve also as sitting
rooms, while the bed chambers are
small rooms cut off on onesside Of the
building.
Cellars are but little used. for The rca-
son that vegetables, potatoes and apples,
and such truck" as the eastern house
keeper stores IN the fall. are not stored
here. The people depend upon the
markets and grceGgrocers for every
thing in season 1t woulds not keep
long if it were stored. and the same need
for laying by winter prownder'does not
exist here.
Two story houses must also have the
high basement. and this makes the ap-
pearance Of such buildings out Of grace
full proportion. Bay windows prevail
everywhere, the object being 10 get all
the sunshine possible.
Brick residences are rare. The coars-
est kind of brick used IN foundations
cost $40 per thousand Laid In walls. and
pressed brick are $50 per thousand in
walls. So that even If brick houses were
desirable here the cost would prevent
many from building them. Redwood is
used universally for siding IN rustic
form and also for finishing purposes.
Oregon fir and pine form thu frame
work. Redwood shingles are used for
roofs. Redwood IL not readily corlbss-
tible, and hence fires are not as frequent
as one might expect IN wooden city.
Another fortunate fact in connection
with the wooden structures Is thss fires
are needed but little except for cooking
purposes. The soft coal burns freely
and makes but little spark, and is safe
from the FIRE risk standpoint
