HUM WILL BUILD
APARTMENT.

Another improvement which the
East Side is looking ahead to with
considerable interest is the con-
struction of a 16-room brick apart
ment house on Third avenue near
Helena street by Mike HUM. The
contract for this building is stated
to have already been let and some
of the material will soon be on the
ground.
Summing up the roughly esti-
mated cost of all these buildings
1t is seen that far more than $780,
600 worth of improvements will
have already been completed in

THE VERY RICHHAVE
THEIR TROUBLES, TOO
(By United Press Leased Wire)

(By United Press Leased Wire)
LAKEWOOD, N. j., March r.
The mystery of the disappearance
of Miss Helen Bloodgood, daughter
of VIM. Bloodgood, a New York
millionaire, was cleared today
when her body was taken from
Lake Casaraljo. The girl, who had
been suffering from some mental
malady, left the Leslie w. Fort
home, where her parents and
nurses had been caring for her,
early Wednesday, clad only in a
night robe. For time it was
feared she might be wandering
through the woods. From today s
developments, however, it seems
certain she left the house and
went directly to the lake, throw
ing herself into it.

TRACKS HELD UP FOR SOME
PENSIVE DELAY IN UNION

About the next sound of revelry
from the vicinity of Union Park
city officials will hear will likely
be regarding the clearing of Napa
street from Mission to Sprague
avenue. When Napa street was
paved and sidewalked, it is said
property owners were promised,
that should a majority of them sign
up for these improvements. city
officials would see that the street
was cleared at all the railroad EN-.

HAS HARD TIME GETTING ANY
THING DONE

BY considerable squabbling and
red tape the north end of the street
across the O. r. & n. and other
tracks was made but when the work
was brought up to the Spokane &
Inland tracks, a halt was suddenly
called.
Why?
Well, perhaps no one but those
responsible for carrying out this
agreement can exactly tell but there
will be some of these progressive
business men and property owners
of Union Park knowing about 1t
in the near future. if general kick
will dislodge the secret.
The opening of this street all the
way across from the north side to
the Sprague avenue pavement
means more than enough to the
Uunion Park business men to war
rant some record breaking speed
ness in the get busy line on the
part of the men at the city hall.
The matter is coming up for dis
cussion at the next meeting of the
East Side Improvement club and d
protest will subsequently be made
to the responsible parties.
