PLANS FOR HOSPITAL AT CHILDREN'S HOME SAN DIEGO, Sept. 19.—Architect Irv- ing J. Gill, M. B. Church building, is preparing plans of a hospital building to be built on the grounds of the Chil- dren's home. It will be erected from funds supplied by Mrs. J. W. Sefton, and will be fully equipped for all needs of the home. The F. A. Noyes Jr. Construction company, 519 Union building, has com- pleted plans for a $5000 Swiss chalet residence, to be built on the east side of A avenue, near Fifth street, Coro- nado, for R. A. Riote, formerly of Porto Rico. It will have clinker brick and stone fireplace, hardwood floors, paneled walls, built In buffet, pine and oak trim, gas, plumbing and electrical conveniences. Another Business Block Eagle Rock is to have another bust- ness block. It will be erected on Colo- rado street near the end of the car line; two stories of brick, and have a lodge* hall on the second Soot. Tho recently built Symphony hall on the north side of this street farther weHt haa cost $6000, and It has already been leased for most of the coining year. ABOVE cut shows the first published photographs of a residence re- cently completed for Robert C. Gillls on the Palisades at Santa Mon- ica. It is a house that has been much represented in print prior to its erec- tion, notices concerning it or drawings showing its future appearance having appeared in various magazines, notably The Craftsman, The Sunset and the New York Architectural Record. It is a modification of the patio house which Is so well adapted to Cajifornla, the difference being that the privacy, of an Inclosed court is here secured by means of a brick garden wall instead of by projecting a portion of the building, as Is done with the strictly patio form of house. The advantage of the garden wall over the patio method Is that it affords a sense of privacy from the street without any feeling of confine- ment or separation from the country round about. Ample seclusion but also privacy of room is th« sense conveyed, the latter qualification being one that It would be folly to sacrifice on a site like the Palisades, where the views ! over Santa Monica bay and toward the mountains north of Santa Monica can- yon are nothing short of magnificent. Both the living room and the dining room of the house open upon the in- closed garden, as do also the stair hall and two wings of a long rambling porch, the latter being well shown in the accompanying photogiWphß. With this arrangement of ready access to the garden from all the main rooms of the house, the garden becomes virtually an out-of-doors living room and a very essential part of the house plan. The dining room is reached from the living room by means of the long porch, pro- visions having been made to inclose the porch with glass and convert it into a sun parlor should inclement weather or ocean winds make the measure de- sirable. At present, however, this porch is entirely open to the garden. There are four bedrooms, two baths and a large linen room up stairs, and in ad- dition to the main rooms already men- tioned downstairs there are the kitchen and service portion and servants' room and bath. The main bedrooms are all up stairs and face either the court, Santa Monica bay or the mountains. On the outside the first etory of the house is finished with rough' plaster stained a chocolate brown, while the second story and roof are covered with split redwood shakes allowed to weath- er a silver gray. The main entrance to the house is on the opposite side from the porch, and as one enters the hall a vista is secured through French win- dows down the entire length of the porch, thence through more French windows Into the dining 1 room and from there out Into the garden. Myron Hunt & Elmer Grey are the architects of the building:.

The wells, three in number, varying from 309 to 346 feet in depth, are reported to test 200 miner's inches, and the shaft, 6xß feet in size, 75 feet deep, shows over 12a inches. The cost of de- velopment is said to have reached nearly $50,000, and is expected to result in transforming a territory of five square miles from dry farmed grain fields, yielding about $20 an acre, into high class orchard land, producing over five times as much. Favorable news on water helped to make last week a banner week for sales of Beaumont apple lands, the to- tal reaching $5200 from two excursions. The bulk of the buying was in Cherry Valley West addition, the company's fifth farm tract of 560 acres. Two Cars Are Packed Two cars o?" fine apples of the yellow Bellefleur and Rhode Island greening varieties have been packed already this season at the famous apple ranch in the Oak Glen district. One car was shipped to Riverside Monday morning and the second will be forwarded to- morrow. The company has Its own packing house on th« place, and is putting up an extra fine pack for the fancy trade. The fruit is carefully selected and each apple Is wrapped much the same as oranges are handled. The apples are almost ready for the market, and from now on until the end of the season several hundred tons will be cared fof and sent to the vari- ous markets. At this time there Is a big demand for the fruit, and good prices are being received. A big por- tion of the output is handled in this section, and but little of It finds Its way to points farther away than Los Angeles. LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1908.

PLANS FOR HOSPITAL

AT CHILDREN'S HOME

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 19.—Architect Irv-ing J. Gill, M. B. Church building, ispreparing plans of a hospital buildingto be built on the grounds of the Chil-dren's home. It will be erected fromfunds supplied by Mrs. J. W. Sefton,and will be fullyequipped for all needsof the home.

The F. A. Noyes Jr. Constructioncompany, 519 Union building, has com-pleted plans for a $5000 Swiss chaletresidence, to be built on the east sideof A avenue, near Fifth street, Coro-nado, for R. A. Riote, formerly ofPorto Rico. It will have clinker brickand stone fireplace, hardwood floors,paneled walls, built In buffet, pine andoak trim, gas, plumbing and electricalconveniences.

Another Business BlockEagle Rock is to have another bust-

ness block. It will be erected on Colo-rado street near the end of the carline; two stories of brick, and havea lodge* hall on the second Soot. Thorecently built Symphony hall on thenorth side of this street farther weHthaa cost $6000, and It has already beenleased for most of the coining year.

ABOVE cut shows the first publishedphotographs of a residence re-cently completed for Robert C.

Gillls on the Palisades at Santa Mon-ica. It is a house that has been muchrepresented in print prior to its erec-tion, notices concerning it or drawingsshowing its future appearance having

appeared in various magazines, notablyThe Craftsman, The Sunset and theNew York Architectural Record. It isa modification of the patio house whichIs so well adapted to Cajifornla, the

difference being that the privacy, of anInclosed court is here secured by meansof a brick garden wall instead of by

projecting a portion of the building, asIs done with the strictly patio form ofhouse. The advantage of the gardenwall over the patio method Is that itaffords a sense of privacy from thestreet without any feeling of confine-ment or separation from the countryround about. Ample seclusion but alsoprivacy of room is th« sense conveyed,the latter qualification being one thatIt would be folly to sacrifice on a sitelike the Palisades, where the views

! over Santa Monica bay and toward themountains north of Santa Monica can-yon are nothing short of magnificent.Both the living room and the diningroom of the house open upon the in-closed garden, as do also the stairhall and two wings of a long ramblingporch, the latter being well shown inthe accompanying photogiWphß. Withthis arrangement of ready access to thegarden from all the main rooms of thehouse, the garden becomes virtually anout-of-doors living room and a veryessential part of the house plan. Thedining room is reached from the living

room by means of the long porch, pro-visions having been made to inclose theporch with glass and convert it intoa sun parlor should inclement weatheror ocean winds make the measure de-sirable. At present, however, this porchis entirely open to the garden. Thereare four bedrooms, two baths and alarge linen room up stairs, and in ad-dition to the main rooms already men-tioned downstairs there are the kitchenand service portion and servants' roomand bath. The main bedrooms are allup stairs and face either the court,Santa Monica bay or the mountains.

On the outside the first etory of thehouse is finished with rough' plasterstained a chocolate brown, while thesecond story and roof are covered withsplit redwood shakes allowed to weath-er a silver gray. The main entrance tothe house is on the opposite side fromthe porch, and as one enters the hall avista is secured through French win-dows down the entire length of theporch, thence through more Frenchwindows Into the dining 1 room and fromthere out Into the garden. Myron Hunt& Elmer Grey are the architects of thebuilding:.

Last week saw the opening of anoth-er industry in Beaumont, which prom-ises much in the way of development01 the grape industry. The Beaumonti_.and and Water company, which ownsthe grape vineyard, 65 years old, knownat the Edgar vineyard, began Tuesday,the manufacture of grape juice.

Several varieties of grapes are grownin the vineyard, including the missionund Flaming Tokay. Experiments withthese grapes show them to be rich insaccharine matter, and the juice pro-duced from them is said to be sweeterand superior to the average grapeJuice.

The new industry has been equippedwith all necessary machinery and par-aphernalia to make it permanent, andIs expected to make a home marketfor Beaumont grapes at profitableprices to the grower.

Announcement is made that (severetests now show over 825 miner's Inchesof water from the shaft and wells ofthe Beaumont water system. Thewells, three in number, varying from309 to 346 feet in depth, are reportedto test 200 miner's inches, and theshaft, 6xß feet in size, 75 feet deep,shows over 12a inches. The cost of de-velopment is said to have reachednearly $50,000, and is expected to resultin transforming a territory of fivesquare miles from dry farmed grainfields, yielding about $20 an acre, intohigh class orchard land, producing overfive times as much.
