FERNWOOD HEIGHTS
RAPIDLY BUILDING UP
Attractive Subdivision Along connec-
ticut Avenue, Extended, Meeting
With Much Favor.

Fernwood Heights. the latest subdi-
vision OF land put on the market by the
Chevy Chase Land Company. located on
the east side of Connecticut avenue ex-
tended, just south of Pieree's MiIl road,
Is one OF the prettiest subdivisions
around Washington. II is provided with
water, sewer, gas, granolithic sidewalks
and. paved alleys and IS surrounded by
many handsome new and old trees
Being on one OF the highest points of
land near the city il commands a beauti-
IuI view overlooking as IL does the en-
tire neighbOrhOOd.
Located Immediately on the line OF the
Capital Traction road. il is very ac-
cessible and with the excellent service
provided cy that company makes II very
convenient. A good many transactions
In lots have taken place within the past
fortnight until now all the ground facing
Connecticut avenue has been disposed OF
There are now under construction on
Quincy street twelve Semi-detached
houses costing about $50 each. which In
addition TO the handsome houses erected
last year by Senator NeWiands and Ed
ward J. StellWagen in the immediate
neighborhOOd Will make a fine show for
this new candidate for favor
1t is expected that when spring opens
fully several other lot owners will build
and this new subdivision will become
one of the attractive points in the Dis
trfct. Land values in this section of
Connecticut avenue extended are rapidly
increasing and IL is predicted that within
short time all that section which will
be brought in close proximity 10 the
city by the new Connecticut avenue
bridge Will be built up with neat houses.

CHURCH PROPERTY
AGAIN REPORTED SOLD

The property at the corner of Fif-
teenth and H streets. occupied by the
old St Matthew'S Church. and on which
an option was recently secured by
George Howard. which was allowed TO
expire, is again rSported IL have been
sold. although it has not been possible
TO find the name of the purchaser
Brokers who have cast longing eyes on
that corner and have counted on tat
commissions have been informed that a
sale had been effected and have turned
their attention 20 otner possibilities.
Persons vino are sufficiently identified
with the property TO be in a position to
know. when approached on the subject,
would neither deny nor affirm the sale,
refusing TO furnish any information re-
garding il.

Capital of an Empire"

Nobody ever dreamed then that in
the course of a century this country
would grow from $500, 600 or 1000 600
TO SO,0O0,000 people, and that this
would be one of the most beautiful
capitals Of one OF the greatest empires
"a republican empire, it is true-in
the world, and that so soon, as now
seems inevitable. we would have here
100000 or 100000 people
Therefore the district around the city
Of Washington was not subdivided. but
was left in it's original wild condition.
No provision whatever was made for
large parks until this subject was taken
up by some enterpising and patriotic
citizens fifteen or twenty years ago. As
a result Of their efforts very largely
and the liberality of Congress. We have
acquired this great Rock Creek Park.
which is the glory of Washington and
one Of the giories of the country.
If the growth OF the city had been
foreseen when it was originally laid out,
the Rock Creek Park land could have
been acquired for 1000 per cent less
money than the Government had to
pay FOR it. This 100 acres of country
land can be had today for $1,000 per
atIcs NHtEtdS the lanO on sixteenth
street will cost you over $4,000 an acre.
II might have been purchased twenty
five years ago for 1000 an acre.
Economy in Immediate Purchase.
so it is important in an economical
point of view that whatever is TO be
done in the way Of providing for the
future needs of the city in the way of
parks should be done now or should be
done in the immediate future This
property can be bought cheaply now.
and those who are familiar with the
situation know that it will be an i'm
mense comfort to the city. as well as
an ornament 10 it 1t is accessible by

Favors a Maximum Price.

'Put the lid on this appraisement

persons benefcially affected pay for the
benefits accruing TO them. and thus

ernment OF the United States. and to
the other taxpayers of the District.
think that is fair and just. No one can
complain.
But 1 do believe that the first thing
commanding attention is TO get a park
TO which the great body of the people
who walk and patronize what ingalls,
called the chariot Of the poor, the street
car, may go in the evening and enjoy
themselves and get a breath of fresh
air throughout the long months Of the
summer and autumn.
II realize that some feather -headec
person will at once say that this is
demagogy; but, nevertheless, 1 wish to
challenge your attention to the serious
aspect of local park facilities The city
of Washington. with 10000 people, is the
most poverty-stricken city IN the coun-
try north OF Pennsylvania avenue in
park privileges suitable and convenient
for the use of the great body of the peo-
pie. Lincoln park, Lafayette square,
Franklin square. Mcpherson square,
Iowa circle. and Dupont circle. are the
only breathing places for practically
500, 600 citizens. Can you call to mind a
city on this continent so utterly neg
lected with reference 10 BREATHING
spaces for the average people?
When the original plan was laid out
it was expected that the place known
as the Mall would he q great central
park. We know now that in the natural
process of the settlement of the Dis
trict the Mall is a place into which 1t
is certainly somewhat perilous TO send
women and children after dark We
know now that it has been necessary to
clean the underbrush Off the Capitol
grounds TO make them safe for passers-
by In the nighttime, and it is well known

NEW SUBDIVISION

Is 10 capitalize il for 500. .O00 and make

The oriNinal plan OF this city pro-
vided ample breathing space and splen-
did park accommodations. according 10
the views OF those who laid out the
city. When We passed beyond the
boundary in the normal course of cevel-
opment we fell into the hands Of a band
OF pirates such as have been a curse 10
every city in the country. the real estate
sharks. II never occurred to the shriv-
eled souls OF sings one OF these
pirates TO contribute one acre Of land
FOR a public breathing space in their
field of operations beyond the Florida
avenue line. Is il not amazing that with
all the millions OF money made by these
men in this District they never thought
OF contributing one solitary foot Of
ground for public park in the Dis
trict? The contribution made by M

Speaking Of the number of small

Now, / do not wish to detain the
committee. but this is very important
matter. When the city was originally
laid out, ample provision, generous
provision, was made for small marks -
Senator ScOtt-'AmpIe you saygr
Mr.. GOldsborough-"For small
parks"
senator Scott-'-DO you regard chem
as being ample at the present tiraer
Mr. Goldsborough-"For that part
that was laid out into streets for small
parks; yes"
Senator Scott" Ample IS a big
word for the very limited number of
parks we have in the city proper"
Mr.. Goldsborough-"In the city prop
er there are a great many parks and a
great many triangles. and one thing
and another, and the streets are wide.
We have more light and air here and
breathing space than, 1 think. in anv

DROWNED MAN FOUND
IN LOWER ROGUE RIVER
Fisherman Finds Body of Man
Near Marial-No Means
to Identify 1t.

The body of a man was found last
week in Rogue river near Marial, bat
it was SO mutilated and decomposed
that no marks of identification could
be found. No person has been
drowned so far as known in that sec
tion of the river and the following
letter has been received by tine Courier
for publication, in the expectation
that the mystery may be cleared up as
to the identity of the unfortunate man.
So far as known no man has been
drowned this Fall or Winter in upper
Rogue river whose body was not
found. 1t Is probable, judging by the
heavy boots worn by the man that the
body found at Marial was that of
some lone prospector who fell into
Rogue river or some Of its lower tribu-
taries and was drowned. The river
being very swift and cold the body
would not float, but would be rolled
along the bottom and LITERALLY worn
in contact with the rocks, unless
by chance of the current it should
be thrown on the shore, as was the
case of this body.
The following is the letter in full
telling of the grewsome find
Marial p. O., Curry County, Ore.
Jan. 81, 1905.
Editor Courier, Grants Pass, Ore.
Dear Sir: The late heavy rains in
Rogue river washed ashore and left
clinging to the debris the mutilated
body of man, one leg and both arms
and the head being severed from the
trunk or body. No clothing was on
the body except part OF the under
clothing and one heavy leather boot Of
the old style make. Owing to the
state Of the body and the time requir-
ed to hold an inquest, we have six of
us decided to bury the remains and
then notify the corouer.
There has been inquiries made by a
man by the name of Mitchell, also by
lady from your town requesting
parties along the river to keep a
lookout for a corpse. r. L. Jones of
Marial p o. was the discoverer OF
the body while attending his traps.
Any information will be gladly fur
nished upon enquiry.
