10000 which exceed ten feet in d.

had the pleasure of visiting a COM
mon country school for day and
it had thirty-6ve scholars, the
large attendance due to the fact
that the farms of that locality are
mostly small, naturally causing a
heavy population. We ate q pic
mic dinner in Mooney Park which
is q tract Of one hundred acres and
contains the finest grove of valley
oaks in the state Of California, and
that is saying great deal. This
park contains two pieces Of statn-
airy which l viewed with much In
terest. Both were gifts from the
city of San Francisco. One 10
called the Pioneer and it shows a
horse and its rider he holding his
gun and an AK. This statue is OF
mammoth size, it probably being
ten or twelve feet from the base TO
the top OF the mans. head. The
other piece OF statuary meant much
to me. 1t was horse mounted by
an Indian, and both were OF great
size. 1t represented the end OF
the Trail. The horse was stand
ing along the rocks at the edge OF
the stream and could SO no far
ther. He was at the jumping Off
place. The Indian was asleep on
his faithful steed and the storm
was beating pitiEessly. One only
has to think Of the American In
dian in his glory Of past years and
then look at the little territory he
holds today to realize what that
piece of statuary meant; it points
out quite clearly that. he is really
at the end of his trail.
