IMPORTANT REAL
ESTATE PLANS SOON
WILL Be ANNOUNCED
Options Taken Upon Best
Farm Lands and Contracts
of Sales Signed.

The largest and most pretentious real
estate development proposition which
has been organized in Washington since
the formation Of the Chevy Chase Land
Company and the building up OF Chevy
Chase, is today nearly at point where
final details can be announced by the
men back of it.
Not only have options been taken
upon the best farm lands between
Chevy Chase and Great Falls, lying
along the ridge Of high land above the
River road, but contracts of sales have
been signed and a large amount of
Capital invested, large enough, it is as
serted to preclude the possibility of the
plans failure.
r. E. J.. Yellott has practically COM
pleted his work of tying up the farm
lands in contract sales. H. Bradley
Davidson, Eldridge i. Jordan, and other
Washington capitalists, have interested
outside capital and papers are now
being drawn for the Incorporation of a
company with sufficient capital to make
the development of the lands secured a
a plan to build railroad from Chevy
Chase to Great Falls, through the mid
die Of the property, and surveyors are
today going over the property and run
ming tentative right of way.
While none of the men connected with
the plan will make announcement at
this time of fits details. they are con-
Sdent Of ultimate success. and say that
when their announcement is made pub
tic, within the next two weeks, it will
contain details OF large interest to
Washingtonians. 49,
II is understood, by the scale upon
which operations have ben carried thus
far, that the now forming company con-
templates practically a duplication cf
the development brought about by the
building of the street railway line 20
Chevy Chase.
Not only is the building of an electric
line a part of the plan, but the, con-
struction of a macadam boulevard also
is contemplated. There is a good ma

And reined in his steed where I lay.
