K. SMILEY DIES
At HIS REOLANUs HOME

Today's dispatches announce the
death at his home in Redlands Of Al
bert X. Smiley, while his wife lies
at the point of death as well. Mrs.
Smiley had been i'll. and over atten
tion to her caused his prostration and
death
1t was about twenty-four years since
Albert X. Smiley and Alfred H. Smiley,
twin brothers, came from their famous
summer resorts in the Adirondack
mountains, bought the crest of Red
lands heights and began the transfor-
nation of the place into one of the
most beautiful private parks in Ameri-
ca, calling it Canyon Crest.
The two brothers were of Philadel-
phia Quaker stock, and their early life
had been passed as teachers. and they
possessed scientific minds and were
greatly devoted to the beauties of ma
ture. the welfare of the Indian uni
versal peace and to the helpfulness of
mankind in general.
They were often compared to the
Cheerable Brothers of Dickens, and in
the course of their long lives they
did vast good for humanity in many
ways. Alfred H. Smiley passed to his
reward a number of. years ago, and
his brother died early this morning.
Albert X. Smiley had given largely
to the beautifying and advancement
of Redlands, among his other gifts be-
ing the famous Smiley public library
building, one of the finest libraries in
the state.
The passing of Mr.. Smiley will ma
turally raise the question what dispo-
sition will be made of the beautiful
grounds on which he bestowed his
money and care for nearly quar-
ter of a century. Many efforts have
been made to secure it as the site for
great tourist hotel, for which it is
splendidly adapted, while Redlands will
undoubtedly be anxious to retain it as
public park, rather than see the
grounds subdivided and made home
sites.
