Mr.. Henry p Miller, manager of the
Stone House Farm, located at Little
Crossings. on the Pike five miles east
of Grantsville was very pleasant visi-
tor to this Office last Friday morning
prior to his departure for home after
having served as petit juror at the
term of court which closed on Friday
evening. Mr.. Miller, in conversation
with the editor stated that the house in
which he lives (the Stone House from
which the farm derives its nance was
erected by Jesse Tomlinson about the
year 1918, or almost century ago, just
when the old National Pike was being
built Mr.. Tomlinson was the owner of
thousands of acres of land IN the imme-
date vicinity of his home. and seeing
the possibilities from the erection of the
Pike from business standpoint he set
about the building of the house to be
used as tavern. He made a great
success of TIE undertaking and accomo-
dated thousands of thousands of
travellers as they were passing to and
fro over the road. The house has an
historical connection with the pike in
its day of ascendancy and with its re-
Mobilization the entire stretch of coun-
try bordering upon it will be opened up
again and made probably the busiest
thoroughfare IN the whole country.

MOLINER PLANS
HOME IN WEST
G. r. Stephens to Build a
Palace on Tiger Trail
Near Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Times of April IL
prints in colors a full page picture of
the magnificent new home near that
city that c. r. stephens of Moline is
planning to build. Accompanying the
cut is the following:
"On a 10-acre plateau overlooking
the whole of the San Vicente-Santa Mon
lea district and large part of the val
ley region between the Crescent bay
and Los Angeles, c. r. Stephens,
wealthy manufacturer of Moline, Ill,
is planning the early erection of mag
nificent home, that promises to be not
only one of the residence show places
of southern California, but a land-l
mark for all time in the north beach
section. Stephens bought site about
three weeks ago from the Santa Mon
lea Land & Water company, and has
commissioned the Milwaukee Building
company to handle the improvements.
THE property acquired by the Hi
nois man comprises in all 80 acres,
this including, in addition TO the plat
eau itself, the whole of a hill of I'M
usual conformation lying back of and
above Brentwood park. This eleva-
ton has for many years been known
as The Tigers Trail" Reserving the
crest of the hill for his immediate
grounds, Stephens expects to plant its
sides and base with live oak, wild wal
nut, wild lilac and other hardy trees, !
the entire holding into a !
splendid estate.
THE house itself will follow the |
style of the Italian renaissance and |
will be of white plaster exterior over |
hollow tile construction. 1t will have |
a frontage of $50 feet by a depth of
125 feet, the latter measurement al
lowing for terraces. The most strik-
ing and beautiful architectural fea-
lures will be series of Ionic columns,
and the heavy dentil moulding of the
cornice.
THE main hall will be 45x60 feet in
size, the rear portion being divided off !
~ a colonnade and used as a music
Dom. With its landings. the main
stairway will be so feet in width. The
