Z. Hepburn Of New York, ox.comptroller

REAL ESTATE GOSSIP
A Large Business Building to Be
Erected on the Avenue;
AN HISTORIC And NOTABLE STRUCTURE
A Recent Sale and the Expansion
of Business Section.
SOME ROVEM N 7 s

An important improvement Is contem-
plated on Pennsylvania avenue. 1t Is pro-
posed to remove the large building on the
north side OF the avenue between 9th and
10th streets now occupied by the business
establishments of J. w. Boteler & Son and
q. f. Droop and erect on this site line
modern business building four stories In
height. This improvement has been In con-
Temptation for some time by the owner of
the property, Mrs. Hitz, and each year the
necessity for 1t has become more urgent, as
the needs Of the business of these two es-
tablishments demand better and increased
facilities.
The plans for the new building, which
have been prepared, provide for the erec-
ton of a substantial building of brick, ris-
ing, as has been stated, to a height Of four
stories. The front will be the buH color
which Is 80 popular just now, and which is
% suitable In this climate. The frontage,
which is some forty-seven feet, will be en-
trely given up to the show windows and
the entrances to the two stores. AS the
present entrance from the street to the up
per stories will not be retained in the new
building. the additional space thus gained
will be thrown into the width Of the two
new store rooms. The upper floors Will be
1t Is not expected that the work OF con-
gtruction will be begun before next March.
The present occupants Of the building Will,
Of course, have to find other quarters while
the improvements are being made, as the
present building, which extends back to d
btreet, will be entirely removed and a new
structure erected from the ground up.
This proposed improvement will be- a
potable one in several respects. 1t will be
IN addition to the number Of handsome and
eommodOus business structures which now
Adorn the city. 1t will also, with the excep-
$ion Of the building at the corner Of 9th and
the avenue, be the only modern business
building that has been erected on that side
Of the block. The Vernon building at the
corner Of 10th and the avenue might be
elassed in that category. and is a SUBJ
stantia structure, but 1t was put up a good
many years ago, and the interval of time
that has elapsed illustrates forcibly the
policy Of non-improvement which char
Acterizes SO generally the management of
Avenue property.

A NEW .WONDER-l AND
Shoshone Falls More Picturesque and Fam
tastio Than the Mighty Niagara.
The River Flows Through q Canon
Nearly a Quarter of q
Mile Deep.

VIM. e. Curtis in the Chicago Record.
Some of the pen painters who prepare
the railway advertisements would lead peo-
pie to believe that the Shoshone falls in
Idaho are grander than Niagara. That Is
a great mistake, for 1t Is not so. They are
only about one-third Of the size-perhaps
as large as the American fall at Niagara
and carry about one-third Of the volume Of
water; but the two mighty wonders are SO
different that 1t is difficult to compare them.
You might as well compare the canon Of
the Colorado with the Yosemite valley.
Niagara Is more majestic and more i'm
pressive, illustrating better than anything
1 know the existence and the presence of
irresistible power; and the hydrant Of the
great lakes flows toward the sea In the
broad sunlight. The Shoshone falls are
more picturesque and fantastic. The dark
cavern that shields them is weird and mys-
terious. The atmosphere is sullen. and the
everlasting roar of the falling water Is
often broken by strange sounds whose
source Is a secret no one has ever been
able to explain. The lights and shadows
are always changing with the morning sun
with startling effects that come and go
suddenly and incessantly.
The Trip There.
The falls are about twenty-five miles due
south from Shoshoue station, on the Union
Pacific railroad. The road is SO good that
the quick-footed idaho horses make the
jour- ey In four hours, and by starting
early you can get back the same evening.
The plateau is almost as level as the sea.
The landscape is mouotony of pale blue
sky, sage brush and scoria, with range
of purple mountains in the distance. No
living thing will be seen the whole dis
tance, unless 1t be a scampering Jack-rab-
bit. There isn't house or tree, only
guide-board to indicate the road that leads
off to [ Blue lakes when you have made
two-thirds of the distance.
Away back, near the Genesis, when this
queer world was forming, a river Of fire
400 miles wide and 900 miles long flowed
over the breast Of this great plain that
stretches between the Rocky mountains
in Wyoming and the coast ranges in Ore
gon and California, and, cooling, left a
mass of black lava lying upon the earth,
in some places twenty, and in others 800
feet deep. They say it was suddenly sub
merged under a great sea, of which the
Salt lake is the residue, and contracting
by the chill, left curious fractures here
and there that cape open Unexpectedly on
the plain and so far as human knowledge
goes are bottomless. If you drop rock
into them 1t will go down clinking from
