Neighborhood improvements on West
Tenth and Topeka Avenues.

Neighborhood Improvements on West
Tenth and Topeka Avenues.
The people living on, West Tenth ave
nue. have started little neighborhood
park association. A number of the resi-
dents met at the home of VIM. Macfer-
ran Wednesday evening and decided
that they would arrange for circular
flower beds in foliage plants at the little
areas formed by the sidewalks and
curbing at each street intersection from
Topeka avenue west to Lane. This will
require about thirty-two flower beds.
The areas will be neatly sodded and
taken care of through the season. This
is~a step in the right direction. These
little neighborhood organizations can do
much to beautify the city.
The residents on Topeka avenue be-
tween Tenth and Huntoon are planning
little improvements this season in the
way of street sprinkling, etc. The plan
to run a strip of blue grass about six
feet wide down the center has been APP
proved by the council, and arrange
ments therefor are pretty nearly COM
pleted without any additional expense
to the city or to the property owners.

BLOW UP BUILDINGS.

ST. Paul. Mimi, April ga winni-
peg, Man, special to the Dispatch says:
The fire that started at Hull, Ont,
at II a. m. is still unsubdued. A high
wind is blowing and the fire is spread
ing. It has blazed path about mile
and half in length. Bron's wharf on
the ottawa side of the river is on fire.
Homeless in Hull are in the cathedral
praying.
The fire on the Ottawa side threatens
to devastate the milling district. The
Eddis mills, Both's mills. Mackay's
mills and scores of others are on fire,
and the safety of Ottawa is threatened.
Buildings are being blown up by dyna-
mite to check the spread Of the fire.
Members of parliament are packing
their trunks ready to escape
Toronto, Ont, April 26.-Dispatches
received here say that about 1 o'clock
the fire jumped the ottawa river taking
possession Of Victoria island, on which
are situated the Carbine works, the Hull
Lumber company's mills, the street cleo
trio and incandescent electric COM
panys power houses, and numerous
smaller concerns. The fire spread rapid
" on both sides of the river, there being
no lack of infammable material. The
Grey Nuns convent and the Central
fire station at Hull have been burned.
Eddis mills are reported as having been
utterly consumed as have been the Hull

fire in the western portion of the city.
It is said that the supreme court at
the corner of Parliament hill is on fire
as are the Canadian Pacific sheds. The
Canadian Pacific station is in danger
Hull is reported to be almost destroyed
and the fire has secured such a hold in
Ottawa that it is feared it can only be
checked by the use of dynamite. Hun
dreds of volunteers are fighting the
flames.
The loss will reach hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars. The militia have been
ordered to be ready at a moments no
