frontage. upon which fine block will be
erected soon, to be constructed principally
of iron and plate glass. Both sales were
made through the agency Of B. o. Kendall,
who Is Mr.. Kinney's agent in Pasadena.
The plans for the structure are now In the
hands Of Greene & Greene, and the build.
ing viii! be a two-story one, unless tenant
comes forward for third story. 1t is one
of the finest locations in town, being very
desirable frontage for offices, and as 1t is
to be constructed almost largely Of plate
glass, the sun will shine into the rooms un-
obstrticted, making them very light and
warm.
w.. STREET IMPROVEMENT.
=. One Of the most desirable improvements
the one the residents OF Illinois street are
now agitatiDg, namely, to widen that
street and extend 1t east to connection
with Santa Anita avenue, and thence to
the broad avenue running to and through
the town of Sierra Madre, under the name
OF Orange Grove avenue, east, since 1t is
direct extension of that famous boule-
ward. This would make q beautiful av-
enue all the way to the foothills at Sierra
Matre, forming an easy grade for the res
idents OF that place to come to Pasadena,
and in it's entire length Orange Grove av-
enue would then be handsome boule-
ward, some five miles in length, and afford
plain at the background of fine residences
and grounds.

Pasadena avenue and Green street, says
he was held up about 8 $50 last night by
two men as he was going to his home, who,

they went through his clothes without,

hind some bushes near the corner of Pasa-
dena avenue and Green street when he

wear. He says one OF the men was about
five feet ten and wore good clothes and
was shorter.
