Charley Woodland suggested
that instead of following Elev-

BIG REALTY DEAL CLOSED.
United States Company Acquires a
Tract of 100000 Feet.

Washington, June 25.-Probably the
| largest real estate deal ever made in
| the District of Columbia has just been
closed by Col. Arthur f.. Randle for the
United States Realty Company 1t
comprises Over 100000 square feet of
ground, and covers the property be-
| tween C street northeast, E street
| northeast East Capitol street, r street
southeast, c street southeast, D street
southeast, and from Thirty-third street
to Fortieth street.
There is large circle in the center
of this immense tract, as laid out I'M
der the street extension plan. This
circle is the same size as Dupont circle,
and will be dedicated to the District of
Columbia as Moves circle, in honor of
the late Crosby S. Noyes.
This last acquisition of property
gives the United States Realty Com
pany practically all the land between
the electric railroad on Pennsylvania
avenue and the electric road at Ben
ming. 1t is understood that this prop
erty will be at once developed by the
United States Realty Company.
The last Congress passed a bill for
the opening of Minnesota avenue
through the entire length of this prop
perty, and the District of Columbia
government is now proceeding to eX-
tend Minnesota avenue from the pres
emit holdings of the United States
Realty Company on Pennsylvania av-
enue northward to Benning, through
this property.
1t is understand that the United
stof 4
it's electric railroad northWard through
this property as soon as the commits
siOners open up Minnesota avenue
which they are now engaged in acquir-
ing. When this railroad is built to
Benning it will be the only railroad in
the District of Columbia which will
allow the passengers the choice of the
Capital Traction road or the Washing
ton Railway and Electric.
1t will give passengers an oppOrtun
ity of reaching these properties by
both of the great electric systems in
Washington. The United States Real
ty Company's electric railroad has now
the right of issuing free transfers
| over the whole $4,000, 600 system of the
Capital Traction Company by special
| act of Congress. The United States
| Realty Company's road has, under its
| railroad charter, the right to give free
| transfers over the Washington Rail
| way and Electric Companys system
| as soon as they make the connection
with the same. When this short con-
Meeting line is built it will give the
residents of Randle Highlands the right
of travel over all electric railroads in

This tract of land is known as the
