81 do not feel so uneasy about the con-
dition of the ice in the river as I did
several days ago"
Harbormaster Sutton expressed this
opinion today to a Times reporter. He
explained that the good work done yes
terday by the tugs in attacking the ice
field and gorge just above the Three
Sisters had obviated to a great extent
any imminent danger of a food. except
in the case of an unusually heavy rain.
There is. however. an urgent necessity
that he keep his ice-fghtins tugs at
work, SO that ice coming down the river
from points higher up may not be al
lowed to gorge any more than has al
ready occurred. The commodore, by
being economical, expects TO make the
$1,000 appropriated yesterday by Con-

GREAT FALLS RAILWAY
AND PROPERTY VALUES
Expectations That It Will Improve
Prices Across River and in Ger
tain City Sections.

The energy with which grading opera
tions are pushed on the Great Falls and
Old Dominion Railway line augurs well
for the completion of that enterprise by
the time set its sponsors. 1t is believed
that the late summer or perhaps the
early fall will see the line finished and
cars running. Those best informed seem
20 entertain no doubt that the opera
don of this road will prove of great
advantage to that section OF Virginia
which lies Immediately along the river
from the Aqueduct Bridge up to Great
Falls.
1t is also thought that more imme-
date benefit will be derived from this
new artery of suburban travel by such
localities as Fort Myer Heights and the
adjacent villages. From residents in
that section it is learned that there has
been good deal of interested inquiry
concerning property over there. and sew
eral deals have recently been concluded,
while others are in process Of negotia-
ton. A number of clerks in the Gov
eminent departments who purchased
ground in Fort Myer Heights some two
or three years ago have since then
erected substantial stone and brick
buildings. and several of them have re-

But. in the third and last proof of the
complete absence Of the jeune file ele-

cites is her Indifference to marriage
Very often she believes in having good

subject seriously at all.
