New Residence District Being
Rapidly Transformed
From Pasture to Paradise of
Homes.
TASTEFUL BUILDINGS.
Several Artistic Bungalows Are
Being Built.
A Strong Factor in Topeka's
Growth.

The members of the EImhurst syndI-
cate are surely to be commended for
their energetic efforts in giving Topeka
such handsome and exclusive new
home place. Never before has such a
successful lot sale been conducted in an
equal period of time and the vim and
ginger with which they are being i'm
proved with good substantial and fine
appearing homes is little short of mir
aculous.
Today Elmhurst presents a surpris-
ing appearance to the casual observer.
Only a few short months ago E1mhurst
was unknown, except as large va
cant tract, surrounded even far to the
west, by a sea of houses Today II IS
a scene of activity and life.
Why the place had SO long remained
dormant, with the city slowly hemming
it in on all sides is a matter, hard to
explain except by a long string of legal
technicalities. But the Elmhurst syn
dictate secured possession of it and
started one of the most remarkable
selling campaigns in the history OF To-
peka if not in the west.
Considerably more than two-thirdS OF
the lots in the east 40 acres have been
sold and the remaining ones are going
at a gratifying pace. One of the best
things about it, for Topeka, is the eX-
ceptionaI number of out of town peo-
pie who have been attracted to move
here principally through Elmhurst.
Many of these people as well as local
residents are erecting substantial
homes and the scene the addition pre-
sents now is one of push and action
The writer counted at least seven good
big houses under construction and 1t
is reported that at least as many more
will be built between now and fall w.
a Neiswanger, of the firm Of Wilson
& Neiswanger, is planning to start an
artistic, modern bungalow at once, to
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000
The bungalow type of nome
construction is something of an limo
walton in Topeka
The construction of the cement side
walks which was started several months
age has been completed throughout the
addition. City water mains have been
put in on Garfield avenue and men are
row finishing up on Mulvane street
The sewer contract which was let dur
in the past month is the lowest in
price of any ever constructed in the
city the total cost per lot, ranging
from $13 to $22. Trees were planted ear
ly last spring and are thriving nicely.
The Elnhurst syndicate has spared
no money or energy in making this new
tract what it should be and what it is
to be and they deserve great praise for
their undertaking. 1t will be one Of
the factors in the upbuilding of To-
peka to the greatness she deserves. The
city should be proud that she is keep
ing apace with modern ideas and that
she is really metropolitan in her homes,
parks and general surroundings.

REFUSES TO WEAR COAT.

Kansas City, July 100. z. Eckstein.
instructor in chemistry at the Univers-

Fe Chicago train, which returned to
Kansas City after trying to get to Chi
cago, he went into the dining car with
out wearing his coat He was told very
politely that dinner dress included a
coat. Mr.. Eckstein said it was too hot
he'd starve first
Il do not want to find fault with the
railroad" he said when the train had
returned to the Union depot. but I
think it is an outrage to offer man
the choice Of going hungry or Of swell
tering in a coat"
Mr. Eckstein said he had accepted a
position as head Of the department OF
chemistry at the Imperial university Of
Pekin.

We merely didn't wish to go to the
trouble of an elaborate wedding" Mr.

Kan, and lived for a time in Salina. At
the time of his marriage he was secre-
tary to NJ. r. Maltbie, a member of the

Fergus County Democrat., 1909-07-27

stated that James A. Metcalf, pro-
prietor and editor OF the Dawson
County News, of Glendive, suggested
to the Montana delegation at the con-
vention that Montana day at the fair
be observed and that each delegate
consider himself committee OF one
IN an endeavor to acquaint the Mon
tina people of the fact that the day
would be fttingly, though not Of
ficially observed. Everybody set to
work and fully 800 people from the
treasure state gathered in the audi
torium OF the art building, which was
set apart for their use upon request
of Mr.. Metcalf and others. Mr..
Metcalf and othes stood at the gates
and pinned badges upon the Mon
tana people as they entered the fair
grounds.
In their quarters in the art build
ing, addresses OF welcome to the
Montana delegation were made by
members of the board OF directors of
the fair association. Mr.. Martin
stated that he and Mrs. Martin and
Brother Van" attended the Montana
Cay exercises and took an active part
IN collecting the Montana people.
Mr.. Van Orsdell made an address at
the league convention and respond
ed at the Montana exercises. He
stated that Brother Van" was very
popular, his address being received
with enthusiasm and commented in a
very favorable manner by the Seattle
newspapers, in which his picture ap-
peared.
Mr.. Martin speaks very highly Of
the fair and says it has done won
ders in advertising the resources of
the western states. Mr.. Martin says
ne was surprised to find that lodg-
ing and meals could be obtained for
prices as reasonable as in any town
IN the west. He remarked that, in
SO far as he was able to Judge. there
was decided lack Of any attempt at
graft. The grounds, bordering on
Lake Washington, he says, are ideally
situated, and the landscape work is
little short Of marvellous. He saws
the roses are at the height of bloom
and the fair grounds in places ap-
pear solid mass of beautifully tint
ed roses. The beauty and amount OF
roses in Tacoma even surpass those
OF Seattle. His party crossed Puge,
sound and spent day at Tacoma
visiting the many parks, which, he
says, are beautiful beyond descrip.
ton.
Fergus County Democrat., 1909-07-27

porary officers will be made perma-
nent and the engineers, conductors
and trainmen's unions will decide
whether they will affiliate with the
body. 1t is said to be practically
certain that these big unions will
come in.
The temporary officers are: H. B.
Perham of the Telegraphers union,
president, and D. w. Roderick of the
Machinists', secretary-treasurer. Per.
ham declared today that the new
movement has attracted more atten-
ton among railway employees than
any labor movement in many years.
cts legitimate heritage he said,
SIS everything that the old American
Railway union possessed in numeri-
cal strength and prestige" Roderick
declared that in forming the organi-
cation, care was exercised to guar
antee to every subordinate union its
own autonomous rights and at the
same time to guarantee protection as
needed. The new union will soon
make formal application to the Amer
lean Federation of Labor for a
charter.
