THOSE who walk to Muir woods on
or about October so will see this
forest primevar' in one of ma
ture's most delightful moods The red
and gold of Spain has been hauled
down in San Francisco, but Muir woods
are still ablaze with Portola colors.
Under the. evergreen canopy of red

now is the right season to go and get
acquainted with some sequoia mon
archs who have reigned in this canyon
of Tamalpais for thousands of years.
The heart of this ancient forest lies
but one and two-thirtis miles in an air
line, w. S. W., from Mill Valley station,
and may be reached in about three
miles by road and trail. 1t is located
In the lower part OF Sequoia canyon,
near the junction of the east and west
forks of the beautiful brook that drains
the southwestern slopes of Mount Tam
alpais. For four or five miles its musi-
cal waters tumble merrily downward

winding grade 10 the westward. Nearer
and nearer loom the lofty tree tops OF
Muir woods, whose unbroken ranks
become blue in the distance as they
swell upward to the glades of the

YOU will find a steep eutOf trail which
crosses the divide at an elevation
hundred feet above the lower pass. but
saves nearly a mile OF the road. Two
miles below the south pass the road
enters the portal of Muir woods, and
on your left you viii notice great
tree 40 feet in girth named IN honor
of Emerson. Near by rustic foot
bridge leads to the Bohemian gulch,
where the members of that famous club
formerly held midsummer high jinks"
In 1892 they erected a great white
image of Buddha, which lowered high
among the trees, while rows OF lodges
lined the forest aisles- In this gulch
the redwoods are very imposing. and
at their base you will md tables where

averages a mile in width. Many of
these trees tower over zoe feet above
the peat carpeted ground and are
dozen feet and more in diameter. This
is veritably virgin forest, unmarried
by the hand of man. While a wagon
road winds up the floor of the canyon
for a mile and more, and the scenic
railway descends the upper east fork to
Muir inn, their picturesque curves only
reveal vistas of natures loveliness
which otherwise might have remained
hidden, even to the most venturesome
amateur explorer. More/than million

THE GIFT OF WILLIAM KENT
When William Kent presented a
tract of 295 acres of his choicest wood
lands to the people of the United States
as national park last year and named
it in honor of the great naturalist, John
Muir President Roosevelt wrote these
words: '1 have a very great admira-
tion for John Muir; but, after all, my
dear sir, this is your gift. 1
should greatly like to name the monu-
ment the Kent monument il you will
permit it,
To this request of the president Mr..
Kent replied: Il have five good husky
boys that / am trying to bring up to 2
knowledge of democracy and to a real
izing sense of the rights of the other
fellow'-doctrines which you, sir, have
taught with more vigor and effect than
any man in my time. If these boys can
not keep the name of Kent alive, 1 am
willing it should be forgotten"
WHERE THE TRAIL BEGINS
1t is well to start early-say the Sis
Sausalito boat. Upon reaching Mill
Valley so minutes later, walk up the
main street to the old mill built by
the pioneer Reed three-quarters of q
century ago. Just beyond it series
of log steps ascends the hillside to your
left and brings you out of the madrone
woods on a grassy shoulder 500 feet
above the sail dotted bay and three
quarters of a mile distant from the
station. Here wagon road curving
southwark around reservoir of spark
ling blue water passes a dairy ranch
and rises to summit some 700 feet
high. At this point you suddenly get
a glimpse of the blue Pacific as you
look down Frank valley, while the

Space will not permit further details,
which will, however, probably be given
in a spring article. There is one new
trail the writer found only few weeks
ago~that he would recommend to any
one who wishes to make a bee line for
Mill valley. 1t starts up the hillside
opposite the Bohemian gulch, where a
sign reads Ocean View trail" Follow
this for few hundred yards until you
come to a wide swath cut through the
forest, known as the Fire road" This
leads directly to an open grassy ridge
from whose crest you may plunge down
past the reservoir to the old mill.

A FAT WOMAN

that are designed for people of normal

things that make fat should be max

secret is that the digestive machinery
