Just three blocks above. on 18th
street. two handsome houses are now
nearing completion, each of which will
cost more than 100000 when turned
over to the owner. They are the Ben
son B.. Sloane house, at Al East 65th
street. designed by Trowbridge & Liv-
ingston. and the John M. Bowers house,
adjoining at AZ, designed by Hoppin a.
Kohn. Both are of the usual type of
limestone front dwellings, of which st
many have been erected in the vicinity,
the feature or the Sloane house being
a lOggia at the top, ornamented by
artistic Ionic columns.
Another OF the high-claSs residences
nearing completion is seen further to
the north. opposite the Carnegie man
sion. at IL East 91st street, where John
G. Trover is erecting "a five-story home
adjoining the large residence completed
about two years ago by John Henry
Hammond, while just beyond. adjoining
the 9Th avenue corner. is the new resi-
dence of James A. Burden, jr. Trow-
bridge & Livingston were the archi-
tects of the Trevor house.
Judge Gary's new 9Th avenue house
has the distinction of being the most
expensive dwelling for which plans
have been filed this year, the architect
estimating it's cost at $4,000. 1t Oc-
cupies the site formerly owned by Fl.
o. Armour. Judge Gary bought the plot,
80 by 40 feet. last February from the
estate. and caused the old house to be
demolished. Construction work is now
well under way, and it is expected that
Mr.. Gary will be able to occupy his
new home in the fall of 1911.
In style the building is Roman clas-
steal, simple, but imposing i'm character.
1t will be six stories in height, i'm adj

The deed transferring the title OF the
property at the southeast corner of 18th
and II streets northwest from the George
Washington University to S. w. Wood
ward was recently made of record. 1t
ends the transaction which was closed
some time ago, as far as an agreement
was concerned as to the terms OF pur-
chase, and which was the most notable of
the year in the real estate market.
The consciousness of the transaction
was due alike to the size and the loca-
ton of the property as well as to the
price paid Having broad frontages on
two streets that are now important bust
ness thoroughfares, with total area of
over 10000 square feet. the price paid
averaged $27 a. square. foot, which repre-
sents the course of current prices of real
estate in that section. The buildings now
on the property; consist of two which
were designed especially for academic
uses. as they were both built by the uni
versity and have since. their erection been
used only for college purposes.
Although the plans of the new owner
as to the uses OF the property have not
been entirely completed. it is stated that
the general purpose Mr. Woodward mas
and erect there hotel building. which
will be of course. designed to be in the
class of high-grade hotels. 1t is expected
the entire expenditure In carrying out
what has been mapped out generally as
plan for the improvement of the property
will amount to about 81, 10000, which WIN
include the $5JO,0CO paid for the ground.
1t is proposed to begin this enterprise in
the near future.
Theater and Once Building.
Another large building scheme in the
immediate vicinity is the Improvement OF
the southeast corner of 18th and G streets,
where the Riggs House and the old C1ti-
zens' Bank building stand. This property
is owned by the Riggs Realty Company.
At one time it was contemplated TO begin
this year the erection of portion or the
proposed structure, but 1t Is PROBABLE
now that will not be done.
In June of next year. when the entire
property comes into the possession OF the
owners, upon the expiration of the exist
ing leases it is intended to clear of the
old structures and erect a building which
will be fireproof and will occupy the en-
tire site, and will go to the height al
lowed by law. 1t will be planned for use
as a theater and Office structure, to cost
about 100000 The area occupied by this
proposed building will be about the same
as the one which is to go on the property
first mentioned, as the size of the two
sites is about the same, the Riggs prop
erty, however, having about 1000 feet
less. -
The locality, however. although i'm some
phases rather recent in it's development,
Is a center of much of the business life
of the city. and IT is evidently the belief
that this is to increase IN the future.
In addition 10 what has already been
mentioned in the way OF improvements
there is now in progress OF erection at

There is no question but that this party
of surveyors win join with the crew of IS
now working from Wickahoney to the
divide between that point and the head
waters of Meadow and Boulder creeks,
and on down to Jordan Valley.
The construction Of this line will not be
long delayed and this part of Owyhee
county will at once come to the front as
the greatest mining camp in the west.
When prospectors and mining investors
want to get the real thing and quit run
ming after will-o-the-wisps and wildcat
rumors, they can come to Carson Mining
District and find that for which they are
seeking.
With railroad facilities and rich mining
camps near by, the wonderfully rich lands
in Jordan Valley will enhance in value
and the cheap lands will soon be in active
demand. An irrigation project covering
150, 900 acres is in course of construction
that will be put on the market at less
than s25 per acre, on which the best Of
fruit, grain, alfalfa and other profitable
crops can be raised in profusion. Jordan
Valley and the 0wyhee county mines GO
hand-in-hand and will soon be densely
populated and producing fortunes tC
many in the future as they have toa few
in the past.

100000 Acres of Irrigable Land
in Owyhee County Will be
Reclaimed.
Long Awaited Announcement Made Last
Week by BuhI's Representative.

The announcement of the Bull corpo-
rations that the Twin Falls-Bruneau
project will be assured is glad news to
the settlers on this tract and also good
news to thousands of prospective settlers
on unproductive farms in the east who
have been looking to the west for their
future home. The project which will
place approximately 100000 acres of rich
land within the reach of the homeseek-
ers, while it has been generally conceded
that it would be financed and built by
Mr.. Bull and his associates, yet the
small uncertainty has retarded some
what extensive operations on the tract
and the assurance of the construction of
the canal system will make realty values
all over the tract go up rapidly.
Other projects which have been wait
ing on the decision Of Mr.. Buhl will inn
mediately be pushed ahead. The extern
sion of the Minidoka & Southwestern
railway from Buhl to Nyssa, Oregon,
will be rushed through in order to con-
vey materials to the new irrigation pro-
ject in accordance with an agreement
made between the railroad and the Bull
company. The following article cover
ing the assertion of the company's repre-
sentative is reprinted from the States
man:
The construction Of the greater Twin
Falls Bruneau project for the Ieclama-
tion of 800, 900 acres Of land in Owyhee
county is assured, according to an an
nouncement made yesterday by Fred A.
Voigt before the state land board, and
negotiations for final contract between
the state and company will be taken up
within the next few weeks. The under
taking will be the greatest in the history
of irrigation and will mean the expendi-
ture of more than $40, ,0O0, 900 in Idaho.
The decision of +. h. Bull OF Sharon,
Pa, and his associates, who have been
figuring on the gigantic project for more

work, also insures the construction OF

of the Oregon Short Line from Bull to
Nysss, passing through the very heart of
the great agricultural tract to be created.

tion in Owyhee county two years ago,
contemplating at that time the reclama-
tion Of 10000 acres. A force Of more
than 100 engineers has been continuously
in the field since and as a result of their
work it was discovered that so large a
project was impracticable, and l5O, 900
acres, which had been selected, were re-
leased.

Wouldn't This Jar YOu9

The County Commissioners of Owyhee
County have refused to grant saloon
licenses for saloons at Three Greek or
Rim Rock and so this wonderful mining
camp will go down in history as the first
and only mining camp ever organized
without saloon. At the present time
the saloon at Twin Falls is the nearest
one to Jarbidge, but it closes within 80
days and then the saloon at Elko, Neva-
da, will be the nearest and it is 1876 miles
