Hy HE bungalow illustrated above is
now in course of construction at
II Fourth street and Hobart boule-
ward for A. Skies, and the floor plan
and general exterior were designed by
Mrs. Skies. This is the third house
that Mrs. Skies has built, and her past
experience has taught her exactly what
she wants, so that the plan she has
now evolved may well be taken as
model for a family of three or four per-
sons. The exterior is on true bungalow
lines, artistic, quaint and attractive,
with rough weather boarding, heaVy
verges and trim and rough brick and
cobblestone work in the porch walls
and buttresses and the exposed CHM
ney. The living room opens directly
through to a small open court or patio,
which in turn connects with the bed
room, hall on one side and the kitchen
and breakfast room on the other.
Wide buttressed openings on either
side of the living room open respectively
into a cozy den with Fireplace and a
handsome dining room with bullt-in
buffet and wide window seat. These
three rooms form practically one large
apartment and are finished with oak
floors, paneled wainscoting with plate
rail, tinted walls and beamed ceilings.
Specially designed mantels are in the
living room and den. The kitchen mas
received much study with a view to the
utmost convenience and is fitted up in
full cabinet style with cooler, closets,
cupboards, bins and drawers, and the
breakfast room opening off will be APP
preciated by my lady" who wishes to
keep her dining room always in pre-
sentable condition. There are two good
sized bedrooms with a we'll located
bath room, closets, linen closet, etc.
Inside the walls are finished in hard
wall plaster and tinted Except the bath
room and kitchen walls) below the
chair rails, which are enameled white
so that they can be washed the same as
thing.
The exterior is to be stained with
painted trim. The inside trim is or
slashed grain Oregon pine.

which is to be erected in one of the
foothill tracts to the north of the town
so as to be convenient for the chill

yard tract.
Due to the marked increase in tree
planting, the cultivation of peanuts
and garden truck has grown proper
tionately, and some twenty acres of
peanuts have already been planted. Or
chards in and about Beaumont are ra-
diant with bloom now. almonds, april
cots and peaches being we'll out. and
early pears beginning to blossom.
Seasonal conditions are said to be
extremely propitious and favor the
raising of one of the largest fruit and
grain crops in the history of the valley
Likewise, as a result of the heavy rain
and the luxuriant growth of the grass
on the hills, the livestock and cattle
business is very prosperous.

linger are agreed that such legislation
should authorize bonds aggregating
$50, 900, 600, to be issued by the treasury
department, as needed. 1t is also the
intention that these bonds be paid out
of the reclamation fund and not to be
charged upon the federal treasury.
This is one feature of the proposed
legislation that those interested were
probability meet with general approval
to not only the western senators, but
those from the east, who have looked
with favor upon the scheme.
TO WORK OUT DETAILS.
AS soon as Attorney General Lawlor
of the interior department returns to
Washington he, Senator Borah and
Secretary Ballinger will get together
and work out the details of the bill.
This will take some time, it is thought,
as every attention will be given to the
conditions existing in the west and the
necessity for prompt action in complet-
ing the projects which are now in an
unfinished condition. The sentiment of
the people and settlers who are waiting
on the government and the energies of
private enterprises in juxtaposition
with the attitude of the government
will be gone into.
Both Senator -Borah and Secretary
Ballinger are very hopeful that con-
gress will take favorable action and
authorize the bond issue.
