One of the largest and most difficult
street grading operations undertaken by
the District government in recent years is
now being executed in the section west of
Columbia road and between Ontario street
and the new entrance to the north of the
Zoo. What makes the undertaking OF
more than usual engineering perplexity
is the character of the ground. 1t borders
the high banks of the ravine of the val
ley of Rock creek that in this section
marks the boundary of the Zoo. Its rocky
side was selected when that abode Of
animals was first used as an appropriate
place for the bear dens.
In that cliff nature had provided OPEN
ings into recesses or caves. and about all
that was necessary to adapt 1t for the
use of the animals was to build fence
along the base of the cliff. Above the
cliff the ground does not settle down into
any regula rity. and is broken enough to
be called picturesque, especially as in the
days before the city reached that far the
country was heavily wooded. Now. how
ever the houses come quite up to the
edge, and one of the largest apartment
houses in the city. the Ontario, stands
only short distance away from the top
of the cliff. with it's sheer fall of several
hundred feet.
Quarry Road Was Entrance.
In the early days the Quarry road was
one of the main entrances to the Zoo in
this section. as it comes out to Columbia
road short distance south of the june
ton Of that thoroughfare with 10th
street But as a city street available for
even ordinary traffic. Quarry road was
Impossible from the start. and it could
only be made so by a great expenditure
OF money and a practical change in the
grade of the entire section. 1t was de-
cided to abandon the road in part as a
thoroughfare for vehicles while preserv-
ing it as a way for foot travel. In the
central section of the street there are
two flights OF steps which lead from the
higher to the lower level. while the north
and south streets, 18th street and Lanier
place, are to be extended through to the
new Zoo driveway, which is now con-
tinuation of Harvard street.
At the present time steam shovel is
a work preparing a place for the road
way of the new Zoo entrance. which will

street. Farther TO the west the Adams
Mill road is also to be extended to this
entrance to the Zoo. In other words in
spite Of the unevenness Of the land. a
system of city streets is to be provided
which will open it up and make il more
thoroughly accessible than il has ever
been.

! FROM HEIGHT OF 1870 FEET
Lovers Keep Suicide Pact in Ant
werp, Belgium, Horrifying. Crowd
in. Market

ANTWERP. Belgium. April "a youth
old girl were the principal characters in
a love tragedy enacted here yesterday.
Arm in arm they climbed to the clock
gallery in the tower of the Notre Dame
Cathedral, and from height of $50 feet
leaped into space, falling at the feet of
passersby.
Every bone in the bodies of the boy
and his companion was broken. AS they
hurtled through the air several men and
women who witnessed the sight tainted.
According to the police. the leap from
the church tower was in accordance with
a premeditated double suicide pact.
Act Premeditated.
That the act of the lovers was premedi-
tated is shown by the fact that they had
placed five letters, one addressed to the
police commissary and the others to va
rious relatives. where they easily could
be seen by visitors to the tower
Entering the clock gallery. the couple
climbed upon the stone balustrade. With
hands clasped. they poised themselves for
a moment and then leaped downward into
the glove market striking the flags close
to the historic Matsys fountain. Ambu-
lances were summoned, but the surgeons
declared that the lovers had died in
stantly.
The lovers who committed suicide so
tragically, belonged to well known fami-
lies. The girl was Alice Peters and the
youth Ellie Walkow. The notes found In
the tower indicated they were driven to
suicide by the complications of a love
affair.

WARDMAN TO IMPROVE
BARBER TRACT AT ONCE

The Improvement Of the Barber tract
fronting on Clifton street between 18th
and 14th streets northwest which was
recently purchased by Harry Wardman.
is to be made at once. 1t is proposed to
open a street through the property from
east to west and parallel with Clifton
street. On each side will be built eight
four-story apartment houses separated
from each other by a space of twenty
feet. According to the plans as prepared
b. +. k White & Co. architects. each
building will have six suites of apart
ments on each floor
1t Will be the largest undertaking of the
sort attempted by Mr.. Wardman. as the
only previous apartment enterprise
that compares with it is the group of
seven four-story apartments which he
built last year on the south side of r
street between 18th and 18th streets
northwest.
The change to be made in the uses of
the Barber property is interesting. not
alone as a property development. but as
indicating the growth of the city.
1t became available for such a purpose
only last week. when 1t was bought by
Mr. Wardman at public auction conduct

The question of leasing of public domain for grazing purposes was one of the very much discussed question, but final action had not been taken at this writing. IL will be all day with the small stockman if the leasing system goes into effect. the cost of pro- duction in small herds will soor compel him to sell out to the big holders.

They did not even go into a caucus first and no one attempted to dissuade them from doing the deed. After a heated discussion as to who should carry the returns to Washington, w. T. Webb was chosen, he hav- ing voted for himself after Wiley Jones had nominated MT. Eugene Brady O'Neil for the honor. If Woodrow isn't elected now it won't be our fault.

stated that fees collected by the build

the receipts did not meet the expend1-
lures by sS.237.14.
The reason advanced for this I'M
satisfactory showing as compared with
that of the year previous is that fewer

structed.
It is stated that there was a sub
startia1 increase IN the erection of
fireI,roof residences and apartment

and 1T is not fair to presume that this
