The inside of the house is then dealt rvith and every detail is properly and fully described. The booklet is attractively arranged and beautifully illustrated. Among the illustrations is ah old print of the ruins of Sutter's saw-mill at Columa, an old miner's cabin built of pine shakes which is reminiscent of the "days of '49," together with many pictures showing both exterior and interior views of homes constructed of California White and Sugar Pine.
