Yet, in spite of this, the modern houses planned j in this way are more attractive in j iheir general exterior appearance ' 1 than were the pretentions, over- ! ornamented dwellings of old Simplicity and dlredness are the j J two first requirements for successful ; design elements which come strong- j ly into play in this present-day idea I of home planning.

The ground bring irozen solid, it had to be thawecl out by huge fires before the dtrt could be excavated, and this was the work that could be done during the long and severe winter. The actual extraction of the gold by washing was only possible during the throe summer months. When the gold fields of California were discovered and the stories of their unlimited wealth heralded throughout the world, there was a wild and woolly rush to the shores of the Pacific. In those days it was almost an impossibility to r. t the worst of a venture to its coast. Starvation was almost out of the question, save in the inn liivi ii ami iiiouniainous districts, iiul a comfortable bod could always bo found on (he hillside of the land of eternal summer. Thorc were no huge ice and snow fields practically destitute of bird an 1 beast. On the contrary, there were streams full of fish, anxious to be caught, and forests Inhabited by flocks of birds that have since acquired reputations for high prices in city eating houses. Again, the argonauts of California and Nevada were almost exclusively hardheaded, painstaking and sober-minded men, who were willing to bravo hardships and privations providing they ultimately obtained independence.
