The FINEST TROUT REGION IN ALL The World

- HE Gualala River region is sur
kHS passed in picturesqueness by no
GAgC other section of California. The
river itself rises in the neghborhooG of
Fort Ross and flows northerly, parallenng
The oceans shore, until it empties into the
sea just on the dividing line between Men
docino and Sonoma counties. 1t flows
through country that alternates from
occasional clearings, where the dairyman
hnds sweet and abundant fodder for his
herds, 10 region clothed in the densest
forests, that have so far been undisturbed

oi continuing in that state until the COM
mercial demands for the products of the
redWoods encompass the fall of these
monarchs of forest growth.
The coast presents the same character
lstics that distinguish the whole line from
San Francisco Bay to Oregon. Bluffs ex-
tend along the entire distance. There are
landings, but no ports. The whole aspect
OF the country from the ocean is wild and
1orolddlng ana affords endless vistas of
rolilng hills and rocky headlands, with
the Pacific ever dashing in fruitless vio-
lence against the shore.
From the sea these low mountains seem
TO be clothed from base to summit with
dense growth OF forest. The ciearings are

forests OF these majestic trees to excite the
wonder OF the present generation. The
occupation of the region is almost solely
in lumber, though in time to come the
dairy interest will supplant it. For Ium-
berlng the country is we'll adapted, near
to the ocean and the great markets while
tn Guaiala River and its tributaries af-
lord abundant power for the mills and
easy eccess to the sea. To one unfa miiiar
with the means of marketing lum Der a
visit to lumber camp on the Guaala af-
lords a new sensation. A meander
through the silent forests will induce re-
hectlons IN the most unimpressionable.
There is majesty, a stiffness in these
mighty lanes OF great trees that is apt to
seriously affect even ons whose sense of
his own Importance is of the most ex-
aggerated character. The great teams of
sometimes forty oxen dragging one OF
those great redwood trunks to the mill is
sight for jaded intellects, while the COM
munion with the hardy and unconven-
tional lumbermen, rough in manners and
reckless in speech, is an experience that
opens up new vista of life. Those who
know least about this venturesome and
hazardous life are the ones who most
enjoy near view of it.
Aside from the industrial capabilities of

womanhood.
Yet more prominent than even this
stands out the bravery of those heroines,
also of the Golden Gate City, who in re-
membrance of Him who taught and prac-
ticed charity are to-day dwelling amid the
Ieper colonies upon distant islands, self
ostracized from friends, save through the
cold mediumship of letters. which are few
and far between. Such bravery is more
than noble, it is divine.
The gifts of Phebe Hearst and
Mrs. Stanford to make possible the
enlightenment and bettermpnt of
their fellow mortals are deeds of noble
womanhood that add brilliant luster to
the fair repute of gentle names already
clothed with grateful remem brances. 1t is
not the province of this short article to

However discouraging the ocean view of
the Sonoma coast may be, journey
through the region by land affords some
OF the most enhancing pictures that can
satisfy even the most jaded of nature s
worshipers.
Lovely valleys are found, stretching
into the interior, in which some of the
finest farms in the whole fertile county of
Sonoma exist. The climate is moderated
by the cool breezes from the ocean, and
the effect upon the growth of fruits, for
instance, is shown BY the quality of the
productions. The peaches, plums and
apples of the coast valleys are surpas sed
nowhere for their size and flavor
Quite as celebrated are the dairy prod

Through every valley and down the pre-
cipitous canyons of the range flow the
rivulets and tributaries into the Gualala,
to swell the volume of the parent stream.
These rivulets abound in trout which have
sported in their cool shady pools for CEN
suries, undisturbed by the fisherman.

is mountain stream fed by affluents from
the purest springs of the highest attitudes,

The idea of importing songbirds to FIJI
the woods about Mill Valley with their
merry warbling was suggested about
year ago, and while many favored the ex-
pertinent few could be found with suffi-
cient courage to undertake the work.
Finally, through the efforts OF Anton
Michalitschke, a few lovers of biIds came
together for the purpose of thoroughly
discussing the proposition, and shortly
after this meeting the Society for the Ac-
chmation and Protection of Singing Birds
of Mill Valley was formed. Arrangements
were Immediately made for the purchase
of consignment of foreign songbirds,
and Dr. Barkan offered the society the
free use of his property on which to erect
the aviary where the birds could be kept
until they had become acclimated.
The membership OF the new organiza-
ton increased as interest in the project
was manifested and the following we'll
known gentlemen compose the society:

BIRD-NUSIC In MILL VALLEY
Success Of the Experiment Of Importing
From Foreign CIimes

GhAVER in Mill Valley, in Marin
YF&Hk County, beneath the shadow of
SN Mount Tamalpais, where the great
redwood trees rear their massive trunks
heavenward and the freedom and beauties
of nature abound, the energetic citizens
have attempted an exper ment in the i'm
portation of songbirds with degree OF
success that has attracted tt e attention OF
other favored communities which, it is
safe to say, will follow Mill Valleys ex-
ample, and the feathered songsters of
foreign climes will become scattered over
the broad expanse of the State to multi
ply in vast mum be-s. Were the birds only
pretty to look upon and pleasure 10 listen
to their propagation might be considered
III the nature OF a luxury, but the greatest
benefit is the protection which the birds
give by assailing every insect that lives
upon and destroys the plants. The de-
vouring caterpillars which feed upon the
delicate lea yes and mar the natural beauty
of the trees are quickly disposed of by the
birds.
The experiment made by the people OF
Mill Valley required buta small outlay.
The sum of $266 80, all of which was raised
by popular subscription, is the total
amount expended by the society, and
through their courtesy THE CALL is en-
abled to give the figures and expenses in
more detail. The aviary cost SOL 65 and
was erected on the property of one of the
members of the society, DR.. Barkan.

and carriage hire amounted to $27 75. Ten

a new difficulty confronted the society
In the shape OF the small boy with pop

at the imported birds the work OF the
society would have been for naught, and
so Justice Thomas FottrelI was appealed

desired effect, and the dire punishment
with which the small boy was threatened
had immediate effect and no trouble was
experienced from this source. Then the

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
Ihe wives Of Drs. j. $. and NJ. s. ISistier
the victims.


Mrs. J. S. Kistler and Mrs NJ s. Kistler,
wives of the two we'll known physicians Of
town, met with serious accident last even
ing. They drove to the Odd Fellows ceme-
terry in the afternoon, accompanied by Mrs.
J. S. Kistler's s-year-od son, John. On the
way home and while descending the steep
mountain road leading to the northern end
of Main street one Of the breetchen straps Of
tine harness broke, allowing the carriage to
run against the horse Before the ladies
could fully realize what happened the
horse took fright and ran away. The
screams of the terrified occupants only
served to still greater alarm the horse, which
was descending the road at a swift pace. At
the turn of the road near Superintendent
Baird's residence the two ladies and boy were
hurled from the carriage The latter escaped
with a cut lip and some slight bruises The
ladies were much more unfortunate. They
had fallen so that the crowns of their heads
struck the stony road. Both were found
stunned The news of the accident spread
quickly. Scores Of people hurried to
the scene. The ladies were carried
to the home of Mr.. and Mrs. John
KEEPER, the parents Of Mrs. M. s. Kistler
which is next to Mr. Baird's residence on
East Line street and but a short distance from
the place where the accident occurred. Drs
J. S. and NJ S. Kistler were promptly notified
and they Immediately proceeded to ad-
minister relief and treatment Shortly after
Drs. d. John Price and Harry Clauser, and
later Drs. ". N. Stein G.. NJ. Hamilton and
J Pierce Roberts arrived in the order named
and the victims received ample attention.
Rev. Alfred Heebner, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church, was also among the early
arrivals and friends hocked to the residence.
1t was first thought that both ladies had
been dangerously injured but careful exami-
nation showed that, barring the effects of
shock, there was no cause for appre ehensiOn
Both ladies received several very ugly scalp
wounds penetrating to the skull and laying
the bone bare. Mrs. j. S. Kstler's wounds
were the most severe, but seven stitches were
put in the scalp of each. The ladies were re-
moved to their homes on North Jardin street
at an early hour this morning. Both will no
doubt suffer from the effects of the accident
for some time, but, as already stated, the
ultimate result is greatly dependent upon
the extent Of shock to the brain and system.
From present indications the friends have
reason to believe that critical stage can be
u yoided. The accident caused much excite
ment and in all parts of the town there were
expressions of sympathy for the victims, as
both are as popular as they are prominent.
The horse and carriage were promptly re-
covered and neither showed signs of injury,
The horse is very docile and reliable
animal, excellent adapted for use by families,
so that the accident was due to circumstances
that could not be foreseen The members OF
the Hook and Ladder Company rendered
service in assisting the unfortunate ladies to
the KEEPER residence.
