In the rte-fjructlon by fire last Tuesdny Ailght of the bungalow belonging Jamos Hopper, novelist, short ntory writer and war correspondent, Carmel has lost Its most mous literary landmnrk. It was the house that put Carmel on the map, so to speak 3efore it was built, eighteen years ago, Carmel was nothing more than pine trees, chaparral anl sand.

There were no streets only a ruity wngon road winding over the hills from Monterey, as rough and rackety as the rocky road to Dublin In summer and almost Impassable in winter. There were no subdivisions then. There were no houses nave a few sporadic old frame buildings between the north part of what Is now Cnrmel and the Monterey hill. There was no literary colony. There was a handful of old settlers, but they lived for the most part in what is now known as "Old Carmel," which is a mile, as the crow files, north of what Is now Carmel-By-The-Sna.

I People came to Carmel tn those early days, to be sure. A few San Franciscans, Oaklanders and Berk-eleyltles had a knowledge! of the charms of the Carmel coast, and they were wont to come down here to camp during, the summer months. Occasionally a tourist wandered over from Monterey. But for the most part Carm'el drowsed idly among the pines that went down to the shore of a summer sea. stekmm; is i'ionkkk.

Among the Snn Franciscans who were acquainted with the charms of the old Mission, hamlet was George Sterling. At that time he was a bookkeeper la the employ of his uncle, Winkham Havens. Summertimes he would come down to the Carmel country, to fish and hunt. Already he had gained a little more than local fame'as port, for his first book, "The Testimony of the Kuns," had been -published. In 1905 hn built a bungalow here.

He built it in what, is the most beautiful part of Carmel, on the eloping side of a hill overlooking, the bowl-like Carmel valley and the Santa: Lucia mountains. It was this bungalow the first house to be built in what Is now known as the literary colony of Carmel that" Was burned lat-t Tuesday night. It was this house that for decades was the center of the literary life (if the colony.

MANY IWMOl'S CJIKSTS. In 3 9 0S Sterling threw clerical I woi to the four winds, moved to i Carmel to live permanently, und 'to Kettle flown to the business of being a poet. That was the beginning of the Carmel literary col-ony. Ho was becoming famous as a poet.

He had a wide clr-Icle'of friends und acquaintances, 'and at one time or another they jail managed to gather around the 'enormous fireplace, he had built in ithe. big sitting room of his btin-ralow. Many of these guests were famous in art nnd letters. Thero was Ambrose Blerce, he gff the caustic wit and vitriolic pen. He was the high priest of the Bohemian revelers who discoursed of art and letters by day and was-ealled o' nights In the cheery old i house.

There was Jack London. Sterling's most intimate friend. They tramped all day among the bills, went swimming in wrmei Bay, and played poker all night before the Brobdingnanlan There was Charles Warren Stoddard, the gentle brother of the gray gown quill.

There was Laura May French, the Ill-starred California 'poetess, who later ended her lire In this same Sterling house.

A re You Interested SEE CLASSIFIED WANT AD SECTION SUNDAY'S TRIBUNE I (Special Corroipof d-nt to Th Oakland TRIBUNE.) "NEW YORK, Sept. 20. Democrats of the east have taken new heart as a result of tho decision of Al Smith to run for a third term as.

governor of New York. The governor lias such great strength through the length nnd breadth of the Empire state that the national managers feel he may pull John W. Davis through with The system, of voting in this state, however, is so arranged that splitting a ticket is the easiest pos- sibble thing to do. This has been I proved on many occasions of the past. In the election of iyi there was more than a million votes difference between the state, and na-' tional tickets.

But despite all this there is a feeling Governor Smith lias dono th best possible thing for Davis. In running for office again Smith wiil not be able to devote as much of his time to tlie national sump as bail been planned. He may be able to leave the state for less than a week. However, if he can pull the ticket through here, none of. the managers will feel any worry about his loss in.

New England or tire middle west. WITH SINCERITY Governor Smith is given credit for complete Jineerity in his desire not to run, and, that ho should make what is unquestionably a personal sacrifice to aid the party again, shows among other things the kind of that Mother Tammany gives her sons. Governor Smith wanted to retire with the high- honors of his state still upon him. But now, for the common good of the democracy, he is going Into the (hick ofthe fight again with all the of the results in this rather peculiar political year. In the last presidential year.

Governor Smith was defeated by margin. Tammany and the Democratic organization believe It will by different in iTovember. They admit that Al will again run far ahead of his ticket especially the national electors but with hini In the race the hope for all along the line has been materfally litis? ii tent Eastern Democrats had begun to feel themselves in the dold ru ms. Nothing seenied to bo going on anywhere. The campaign was at a standstill.

Davis has been in the west and as was the case in the Cox campaign, all of the activities of the party seem to have centered in him. The national managers promise It will be different in Oc- itober. They claim they are keen ing their powder dry just at present; but will have plenty of fireworks ready to start the final Intensive fireworks of the battle. That remains to be s'oe n. There are no surface indications of preparations for any great onslaught.

The Democratic organization has broken down completely during tho last eight or twelve years and the work of reorganiza tion lias been a trying one. Lack of funds has handicapped the managers but in this respect, they have not been much worse off than their Republican brethren. They, too, have had their financial Worries. COOLIDGE REMAINS CALM President Coolidge remains calm, cool and collected at Washington, apparently c.intented with the way the campaign is going. Liiie Chairman Butler and others of the national organization Cool-iilgejs convinced that the only thing that stands between hiin anil reelection is the menace of La Kol-letto throwing the election into congress.

Again like Chairman Butler, however, Coolidge will not admit any such fear. The Republicans, rightly or wrongdy, are counting out the possibility that Davis might win. They say that only if Coolidge cannot carry enough states! to gain a majority in the electoral college, Davis cannot. In any event that is their story and they are going to stick to it. On the surface it would not appear that the Republicans are making much more of a campaign than the Democrats, but the lie-publicans have a way of accomplishing great deal underneath the surface.

The Democrats lack finesse in that direction. Chairman Butler appears far more active than Chairman Shaver. He is flittering back nnd forth across the country, and leaving a trail of nopcliil interviews- behind him 'jsteiu Will Hays found the same sv extremely valuable in 11)20. Senator La Follctto has taken the field and there will be grand independent-progressive rumblings lrolu this source. Otherwise people of a large section of the country might forget the campaign was on.

The Bohemian Carmel has passed. It passed when (Jeorgc sriiook the dust of the colony from his sandals and went to New York.

His house passed into other hands, and the gay days and nights Were over. Carmel, almost between two nights, so to irpeak, became a drab and sober con.vtu-tional summer resort. But all was not merriment and high jinks in the old Sterling house. A good deal of honest, forthright literary work was Uono in it when Sterling lived here. Much of "The of Wizardry" was written in the old living room.

All the, poems In the volume "Beyond the Breakers" we're written there. Tin; fa-moun "Browning Centenary ode" was composed there, and most of the poems In "Tho House of Orchids," And It is becuuse this is so, and because their author standi) today in the front rank of American poets, that bookish people and poetry lovers from ail parts of the world have stopped off at Monterey" to mnUe the pilgrima-e over the hill to Carmel to look upon this house. Year after year they have made this pilgrimage. And now this famous bungalow Ilea a muss of ashes on the hillside. ns being the seat of the human race.

Then there were also the fierce sabre-toothed tigers, cut-throats of prehistoric timen. the cumbersome sloth family of which mylodon was a member, nnd large number of olher creatines -both fearful and wonderful. Tho animals of this period were noted for their great sb.e. But a peculiar thing about the life of this period is that whereas the animals were to survive In the march of evolution nnd are now practically extinct in all types, yet the plant and- invertebrate life Is, a rare exception, Ptill flourishing.

However, the animals left their bones hidden away In the mud and sands to Infer become fossilized or changed to stone Impressions an in the Nevada prison yard. THACKS CALLI'I) UNIQUE.

When as Pack In the Pleistocene period a mylodon started out to gather himself a meal from the marfhes at where is now the state prison at Carson City, Nevada. His feet left great prints- in the soft mud as he browsed around. Then these were covered over by tide or flood. They hardened until they became stone. A few years ago convicts' toiling In the stone quarry of the penitentiary yard broke out a slab of rock and revealed the Impressions of old mylodoh's wanderings.

Through the recommendation of Professor John C. Merriani, president of the Carnegie Institute anil formerly of the 1'nivrrnitv of California, the famous footprints are to be preserved tor future generations. Professor Merrinm, one oi the world's leading palaeontologists who has finished an inspection of the prints declared that these stone records from tho far-gone age of giant mammals are one of the most wonderful relics of past life In the world today. He has made a series of recommendations for their preti-ervatlon and for tho disclosing of other record.t from tho past for the poople of the future. He has also assured Governor J.

(J. Kcrugham that he will secure tne aid of tho Smithsonian Institute in tho preservation of the footprints. An investigation will nlso be made of the Indian remains of Nevada by tho InMitute. T'rorti the manner In which the footprints are exposed at present Professor Merriani expresses the fear that they are doomed to be badly damaged unless propdr care is taken of them at once. Fro mills examination of the prison yard he in of the opinion that further excavation will reveal more of the ancient life records.

Dr. Merriani has made five major recommendations for the saving of the footprints. Ho asks first that a larg and accurate map of five-foot intervals, bo made of the site showing the exact position of the tracks in relation to each other. He anks that a topographical map be made showing the depths of tho associated deposits and their character. This map should furnish the basis for further excavation work to ex pose tracks vet hidden from view.

WOULD SKKK OTHlttt ITIKS. In order to pronpect the site ne recommends that two tunnels be driven Into the hill nnd that all research be conducted under the supervision of the most competent" person obtainable. He advises cutting off the part of the prison yard containing the tracks and making It a public show place. In order to give the publfc the full benefit of the place he urges that a careful study be made of the tracks as to their origin ns well as those of the accompanying deposits for the purposo of Issuing a well written nnd illustrated simple description for the benefit of the general puh-11c. Ho also declares that the entire work ithould be done under the advisory direction of the department of geology of the University of Nevada.

Dr. Chester Stork of the University of California has been proposed by Professor J. C. Jones of the University of Nevada as the man to carry out the recommendations of Dr. Merrlam.

The fosnll footprints were discovered in the prison yard at Carson City several years ago when tho prisoners opened up the quarry. Immediately there followed strange tales as to their origin.
