In company with Judge Wolfe
the BULLETIN man visited Captain
Geo. w. Hills ranch, 7 miles east
of town, last Sunday. We found
Captain Hill quite spry and he and
his good wife made our short stay
enjoyable indeed. Captain Hill
piloted us through his orchard of
100 fruit trees which were bending
under the weight of ripening fruits
of all kinds and which was really
a sight to behold. But what we
wish to speak of in particular is the
fine and commodious dwelling house
just completed on the premises. 1t
is a one-story building of modern
design, composed Of wood on a lava
stone foundation with handsome
cut white stone steps leading to the
main entrance. The lines of the
house are broken in such manner
that it presents very pleasing and
picturesque appearance. The ROOT
is hipped with cluster of gables
breaking into it and all mounted
with beautiful iron cresting. The
interior-composed of six large
rooms and pantry, with a capa-
cious hall in the center-is plastered
throughout and each room well
lighted by ornamented windows
with Pullman pulleys. The front
doors have designs in art glass and
the porches and gable ornaments
are in themselves an artistic effort
The rear porch is enclosed by wire
net work that prevents all annoy
ance from flies or mosquitoes
Underneath the rear of this magni
fcent structure is a stone cellar 0
good dimensions, with floor, side
and top cemented, making it one o
the most complete preservers o
fruits, vegetables, or anything else
that we have ever seen. The hous
was designed and almost completed
by Matt Judge, but as he contracted
severe case of Klondicitis, tn
finishing touches were made b,
Messrs. Ross and Whitney, tw
master carpenters of this place
James Carroll, our home artist, diC
all the paint work, and did it well
