Yesterday afternoon was spent in
listening to reports from the branch
secretaries, the editor and publisher
of the Illinois Watch Tower and state
membership captains and two ad-
dresses on subjects of con ilerable in
terest to the delegates. The reports,
all of which were highly pleasing
were passed over rapidly so that rs
much time as possible could be de-
voted to the lectures The Patent
Medicine Evil'' was the subject of the
first address and demonstrations Were
made to bear out the statement of the
speaker that patent medicines con
tanned a large per cent of alcohol. The
second address was along woman
suffrage lines. Miss Harriet Grim. #
Chicago, the state organizer of the
Illinois Equal Suffrage association,
was the speaker and her address was
listened to with the greatest of intec-
est. Miss Grim is an excellent speaker
and she brought her own convictions
before the convention with force
which made woman suffragists out If
practically every delegate.

cent history Of the northwest section OF
the city. Lamont and keefer streets
have been cut through from 9Th street TO

ton. Altogether the two squares ulti-
mately will hold lDS houses.

nitude is being conducted by James Mar

Easy-Payment Plan.
Much of the northwestern suburban por-
ton of tire District has been far beyond
the reach of the wage carney because OF
the high prices commanded by the land,
but the International Realty and Devel-
opment Company proposes to place its
lots on the market on the easy-payment
plan, and at the same time to attract the
best class of suburban home-seekers by
writing into it's contracts the specification
that no house To cost less tnan Sj,JUo
shall be built on the property.
For the grand opening tomorrow Mr..
Macht and his associates have made ar
rangements to accommodate large
crowd 4 broadcast invitation has been
issued that all persons interested in sub
urban property visit Observatory Heights
at the opening: leaving the Wisconsin

Hill Offers Serious Obstacle.
According to the records Of the street
extension department the Nichols avenue
hill reaches an elevation of more than
1Go feet, and when il is considered that
all vehicular traffic passing over that
route must ascend practically from tide
level after crossing the .Anacostia bridge
and descend again To few feet above
tide level to reach any destination in the
vicinity OF the steel plant ii is at once
evident that the hill offers serious OBJ
stacle To the rapid development of the
whole southeastern section Of the Dis
trict. The proposed new road viii have
an elevation at no point III its route of
more than twenty feet. Residents of the
entire portion of the District which would
be benefited by the new highway are not
only advocating the extension to the
vicinity of the Firth-Stering company,s
plant. but they are agitating a petition
TO have the highway reach all the way to
Blue Plains. Those interested I'm this
project are actively at work to secure
dedications from all property owners
through whose lands the new road would
pass, and they have already elected 10
