located at Santa Monica ; this office he 
resigned to take cha'rge of the plant- 
ing on the grounds of the Leland 
Stanford University, after which he 
returned to Waukegan. In 1892 he 
accompanied his father on their 
memorable trip through the moun- 
tainous sections of the northwest 
gathering seeds of the evergreen 
trees. An accident which befell Mr. 
Douglas on this trip so impaired his 
health that he never fully recovered 
from its effects, and it is thought was 
indirectly the cause of his fatal ill- 
ness. Mr. Douglas was an ardent 
student of nature; he possessed one 
of the largest collections of birds’ 
eggs in this country and was a fre- 
quent contributor to the Smithsonian 
Institution at Washington, D. C. His 
remains were taken to Waukegan 
where they were buried Sunday, 
April 7. A widow and two brothers 
survive him. The latter will continue 
the business of R. Douglas’ Sons.
