ONE of the most public-spirited
gifts ever made to the govern
ment has come from William
Kent of Chicago, who has just
decided to the United States EOS
acres of primeval redwood forest
on the southern slope of Mt.
Tamalpais, about six miles from
the city of San Francisco. The
land was decided to the govern
ment with the approval of For
ester Clifford Pinchot, chief of the
United States Forest Service.
The papers have now gone to the
Secretary of the Interior, and a
proclamation declaring the can
yon a National Monument will be
signed at an early date. This
means that more of CALIFORNIA;
redwood giants will be saved for
the scientific study and pleasure
of the whole country, in fact the
whole world, for the great Sc
quotas are only found in the
Golden State. This grove: given
to the government by Mr.. Kent
is one of the only tracts Of red
wood forests to be found in its
natural state in California today.
The land is said to have cost Mr..
Kent $4,000 some years ago, but
its stand of redwood timber alone
is now valued at more than $780,
900 on the market.

\ Mr.. Sutherland, with his family, came;
directly from Grand Junction, Col, where
they had spent the thirty days previous
with relatives. Grand Junction is one Of
the noted irrigated sections ofs the west
and is famous for its production Of fruit,
Mr.. Sutherland had occasion while there
to note the enormous increase in values:
of irrigated lands. Seven years ago,
while on a visit 70 that city, he was
offered raw sage brush land four miles
out for s65 an acre but refused 10 buy
because he considered the land not worth
Ii. On his recent trip there he found
that the fortunate owner 81 the same
tract Of land had saS fine six-year.old
apple orchard on il and had recently re,
fused an offer Of &1ooo an acre.
Grand Valley, which sixteen years ago
was a dreaFy sage brush plain, has,
through irrigation, come 10 BE the best
apple country in,the west, althoughithas
an elevation Of 1000 feet, 1900 feet higher
than Mountain Home.
MIR. Sutherland believes that the
wonderful valley in which Mountain
Home is located has greater possibilities
for the investor than the Grand Junction
country, for the reason that the soil here
is much better and land may be obtained
lat very reasonable price.

house of John NJ. Carrere Of the firm OF
Carrere & Hastings. views Of which are
shown here.
It would be difficult to find in the facade
OF Red Oaks any trace Of architectural detail
unless one counts the small hanging border
on the gables. That affeotation of the
commonplace which would have occurred
only to the mind Of an artist adds its touch
to the rarely characteristic appearance OF
the house.
This structure has stood for only two
summers. Previously the stone out OF
which 1t was built lay Aeep under the green
OF the sunken garden. Yet the house sug-
gests a dwelling that has been occupied
since the trees were saplings. Most of the
trees have been there much longer than
the house, as the land that MIR. Carrere
bought for his home had been used for the
site Of another house. In fact it was the
large oak tree standing at the end OF the
formal garden which settled in large
measure the disposition Of the house and
garden.
In Q county that oherishes hillsides more
than any other situation for it's homes
Mr.. Carrere selected hollow in which to
build his house. Builders on the West
chester hills love to see the blue waters Of
the Sound ON one side of them and the
towering stones Of the Palisades on the
other.
There are no such comprehensive. ranges

and steep incline up the rocks to the lane
and glimpses Of the distant hills to delight
the eye Of the watcher on the east side of
the house. To the south one finds the restful
aspect Of en- old orchard slopng down TO a
meadow.
Thus there may be no view of majestic
distance or beauty TO interest the dweller
there but there are, on the other hand
the smaller and more intimate views Of
country life.
This Is a French house, even IL there
are few Of the striking features of the
French school about 1t 1t was the memory
Of an old house at Dieppe that guided
Mr.. Carrere in his designs. There was a
sentimental reason, moreover, In the archi-
tect 8 selection of this old house.
1t was through his noticing it's pleasing
proportions, his delight in studying them
and his interest in the plan of this old
French house in which he spent one summer
as o boy that led him to follow architecture
as a profession. This French house has
many points In common with the new
one at White Plains.
It is in a modified T shape. From the
carriage porch one enters a hall that leads
into the large living room, which is de-
lightfully simple in style. with its panelled
walls painted and not disfgured with
the usual country house paper. On the
left Of tho entrance hall is the library.

There is possibly an interruption to tn o
simplicity OF architectural detail in the
fancy iron work at one end Of the veranda.
This s very characteristic OF the houses OF
the period in France, and there was great
deal Of it sent to New Orleans about 1880.
1t was Mr.. Carreres plan to have the old
iron work brought from New Orleans, but
1t was not found possible to get 1t in sufficient
quantities and in good preservation. So
this detail, which was a particular idea OF
Mr.. Carrere's, had to be manufactured.
The stone walls are built from stone taken
out OF the ground there. This is but one
feature of the appropriateness Of every part
OF the house to every other and thus to the
whole. Square openings and simple over
hanging caves were appropriate to this
style OF material, aud so were the over
hanging caves. to which the artist could not
help adding the touch of pretended COM
monplace in the shape Of the border.
There are other interesting details about
the house which delight those who love to
discover new beauties that do not always
spring to the eye. Thus the shutters with
no stats on the first floor are just as typical
Of houses Of the perio as are the open
shutters which appeared on the second
floor. These are survivals Of an earlier CIV
! ilization in which it was thought wisest TO
| keep the windows on the ground level SC
tightly closed that nobody could look

at the manner in which the horses got into
their harness when the gong sounded, He
sent for the Fire Commissioner one day to
show of the team.
1T happened that on the day the Com
missioner came over there was a real fire
near by. The horses dashed out of their
stalls and got into their harness in record
time. but they wouldn't budge STE, ont of
the fire house. They were show horses
and the man who trained them didn't bother
out after they wore hitched UP.
THE average life of the fire horse is oulv
about ten years. Il is sad commentary
on the manner in which the city treats the
fire horse that at the end OF that time he is
almost wreck, good for nothing but mill
ing street car or junk wagon. think
the time will come when some humane
Mayor will decide that it will pay to have
farm to which all the horses owned by the
city can be sent for vacation such as the
other members Of the fire. police, street
cleaning and various other city deoart
ments get. rest Of O month or 80 each
wear would mean many wears added to
the service life of the horse.
at is certain that the pra otice Of selling
the horses OF auction when their usefulness
to the city ends will soon be stopped, since
several plans for pensioning the worn OFT
horses for the rest OF their days are already
being considered.
"Did you ever hear about Baldy. the ex-
fire horse that used TO haul a small truck
for an expressman who had his stand near
Jefferson Market When fire engine or
truck went through the streets anywhere
near Baldy he used to light out after the
apparatus end there would be a fine old
runaway. II got so that every time there
was big commotion in the neighborhood
one old citizen would say to the other: Well
I see Baldy is running away again
Another old fire horse was on the
Twenty eighth street crosstown car line for
a long time, and more than once that old
fellow yanked a carload Of passengers half
onto the sidewalk in his efforts to follow
the truck.
"The number OF horses killed in service
every year is amazing. You know thcre In
a rule that il an accident Ia unavoidable the
Fire Department must take the brunt of
It, That's why the drivers send so MANY
horses into elevated railroad pillars and
all manner OF obstructions In an effort to
prevent damage to some other vehicle or to
person who gets in the way Of the appa-
| ratus.
"Many persons have asked me where we
get the names for the horses and who names
them. Officially the fire horse has nothing
but a number, which expires when he lea ves
the department. The drivers and other men
in the companies name their horses to suit
themselves. and those names stick.
"When n fireman gets to know horse

versation with him he doesn't like to call
