stage and by May ] will be ready for

population. The new addition is owned
by the Telluride Realty company, a
concern which is sparing neither energy
nor money in making it r desirable
place in which TO live
1t was formerly included in the mil
ltary reservation and was acquired from
the United States government by Judge
LeGrand Young. Immediately after the
deed arrived the property was trans.
ferred to the Telluride company and
since that time the officers of the COM
pany have been working quietly but
none the less effectively in preparing
the site for habitation.
According to the plans which have
been prepared under tho direction of
A. NJ. Wrench, president of the TeIlu
ride company, the new addition will be
a veritable "Domain of Arnheim. - At

Gated about the center of the addl-
tion Will be An oval shaped park, and
farther in the distance there will be a
duplicate of this park on more extend
ed scale.
Old Military Road
The old military road which trav,
erses the addition, with many gracetul
curves, in A southeasterly direction from
the extremity of Brigham street was at
first considered sort of stumbling
block, but later proved to be one of the
best features The entire plan has been
formed with the old road as point OF
departure. This suggested 10 the land
scape gardener the idea Of making
curved streets one of the distinguishing
features OF Federal Heights. But not
withstanding this fact the addition is
symmetrical In its entirety. 1t Is so ar
ranged for instance, that another street
exactly like the old military road eN-
tends TO the northeast and both OF these
streets branch from the extension OF
Brigham street Just west Of the central
park Military road will, ol course, be
widencd and improved.
Other streets will be built so as to
carry out the idea suggested aud at
both the north and south ends of the ad-
dition some of the streets Will run di-
riclty east and west mere VIII pe eN'
tensions Of First avenue and First
South streets and the approaches TO the
addition on both of these streets will be
marked with ornamental gates. These
streets will also lead TO parks which are
to be located in the northeast and south,
east corners of Federal Heights. All
of the streets will be graded and ma
cadamized and cement sidewalks, water
mains and sewers will he installed.

". II. Lepper, andscape gardener and
architect, with many years experience
in Chicago. Wherever necessary he is
saving the land leveled or terraced SO
that the addition will be a thing Of
beauty in itself as well as commanding
n view Of the valley and the mountain
ranges that will surpass an artists
