Diana Of the Tower
Now Must Look Up

on Manhattan Island-the dome of the
World. far downtown. Within the last
ten years, however, poor Diana has
been overtopped and dwarfed on the
south by the 550-foot METROPOLITAN
clock tower and belfry: on the north,
not far away. the Belmont Hotel raises
its lofty square hulk, while downtown
the Singer toweV slightly exceeds the
Metropolitan in height. Other and mo-
mentous changes have been going on all
around the historic site. Fourth ave-
nue.. on the east, formerly thorough
fare of secondhand curio shops and
third-rate hotels, has lately blossomed
out into Il new business street, lined
with towering steel structures de
voted to various lines of wholesale
trade. All this makes the site of the
garden twice as valuable it was
twenty years ago. 1t makes the great
hall losing venture financially, even
on its early capitalization.
But it is to be feared that this beau
tiful architectural landmark and orna-
ment is doomed. unless sentiment and
fashion shall prevail over practical
business considerations The mere
thought of tearing down that beautiful
Giralda with it's airy Diana seems sac
religious, and many Will mourn there
at. since the garden is known, by repu-
tation at least. to millions of Americans
men, women and ch!idren-from
Portland on the east to that other
Portland on the west, and from the
gulf to the lakes. There is just one
hope. and that is the whole noble
structure may be removed piecemeal to
another and less expensive, site farther
where future generations may
feast their eyes upon its graceful ar
cbitectural lines and revel in those dl-
versions for which it's interior is so
happily adapted.

Buried in Potter's Field.

Loncdon died in the New York Hospita!
and was buried in peters field The
landlady of a cheap lodging house had
f, md him lying upon the floor in his
night clothes, while gas was escaping
from a jet nearby. Circumstances point
Cd to his death being accidental rather
than case of suicide.
The case attracted 10 attention at the
time. The autopsy showed that ex-
hausted vitality from starvation was
more responsible for death than the
gas. Relatives recently came to New
York to look up LongdOn's whereabouts
and came across the pine cases in the
safe deposit vaults. These led to the To-
eating of his lodging place. and the news
of his death.

 In the immediate vicinity Of the property there is considerable wood, and abundance of water in Apache Creek.

There are 26 claims in the property, and win an efficient plant producing cheap power some of the outlying vetns may be worked to great advantase, as well as those not far away owned by other interests. A good wagon road 12 miles long may be made without great cost from the railway to the mine, while the one now in use from Duncan, 22 miles. could be made good for freighting.

 The property of the Twin Peaks company IS in the charge Of Daniel Fraser, president, and A. N. New house, secretary and treasurer. Jos eph Fraser is fiscal agent.
