LAUGHING AND
EATING, CHOKED
TO DEATH
Edward A. A. Dionne Was One of the
Most Popular Letter Carriers in
Nashua--Died in Restaurant
Last Night.

Nashua, n. H., March l9.--Edward A.
A. Dionne, one of the most popular let
ter carriers, was ehoked to death last
evening while eating piece of meat and
laughing at the same time, at Burke's
restaurant on High street.
1t was not known for some time
after his removal to the Memorial hos
pital that life was extinct, as the ply
sicians worked over him for more than
an hour in the hopes of bringing him
back to life.
He failed to respond to the oxygen
administered, although the piece of
meat which was lodged in his thorax
was removed by the doctors.
Mr.. Dionee, when stricken, was seated
on one of the high stools at the counter
in the restaurant and had just begun to
eat. Some sayings of another patron
pleased him, and he began to laugh just
as he took the meat into his mouth, and
he became choked.
The attendants, the proprietor being
out, rushed to his aid and caught him
before he fell from the stool. They
placed him in chair and worked over
him fifteen minutes, while Others went
after physicians. When they arrived, he
was at once rushed to the Memorial
hospital in the ambulance. Mr.. Burke
had meanwhile arrived at the place and
aided in the work.
1t was the opinion of the physicians
that he was dead before he reached the
hospital, but they worked long over him
in the effort to restore life.
Mr.. Dionne was about AZ years of age,
born on Tyler street, Nashua, and had
been letter carrier about twenty years,
being appointed when clerk in the
clothing store of H. G. Phaneuf, now
postmaster. He was a member of st.
Jean D'Baptiste union and. the Letter
Carriers association, and one of the
most popular among the younger of the
French residents.
His wife died ewo years ago, he being
survived by his mother, two young chill
dren, three sisters and five brothers
He lived in the Ray block on West
street.

SITE
 FOR FINE HOMES
5. W. B. & I. Obtains 80 Acres on North Central Avenue Excellently Sit uated for Winter Resi- denceS for HomeSeekers

The Southwestern Building and investment company has secured a splendid eighty acre tract on North Central avenue, about five miles from the center of the city, which is admirably suited for parcelling up into acreage, either lives or ones, and when thus disposed of will be uneXcelled for beauty and suitability for suburban homes for the many wealthy ones who desire to make a winter home in the beautiful Salt River Valley.
 This property is to be held at $330 per acre, which is considered a most reasonable price, considering the To- cation. The owners of the property realize that there is but one Central avenue in the entire valley. That it is only eight miles from the center of the city to the hills, where it ends by limitations, and that in view of all this it will always be the choice location for the Wealthiest homes in this section.
 All these things were taken into consideration when the property was secured. The company considers itself as being most fortunate in ob- taining it, while doubtless the pur- chasers of the acreage, when the same is put on the market, will con slider themselves equally fortunate in obtaining the acres. It has not yet been definitely diciGed whether the & w B. X I. company will place the tracts on the market, or whether they will hold the entire piece for

IRRIGATION D|TCHEs
 D|ssAPPEAR|NG FAST
Disposition Apparent to Place Them
 Underground in the City.

The open irrigation ditch is fast proper. More and more the inclina- tion to cover the top of the ditch running the water through a cenent conduit, and making the outlets to that serve the various properties in the city, is becoming the rule. This has an added advantage. The ditches then cannot become fouled with weeds and grass, necessitating un told work in keeping them clean and keeping the fronts of the places looking ship-shape Then the chances of ditch banks breaking and flooding the streets are lessened, and the sav- ,ng of water is a figure also to be considered.
 The recent improvement in this re- spect noticeable to the resident and newcomer both, is that stretch of First avenue from the bridge over the Salt river canal on First avenue to the end of the pavement going north. On both sides of the street the ditches are being conduited.
 First avenue has long been consid- cred one of the handsome avenues of the city, especially that part of it north from the post office, but this recent improvement, taken with the pavement adds to it wonderfully. It is now a most slightly and enjoyable driveway as well as being d hand some and shaded street.

 The lighting system that is to be provided for each will also be a matter of much congratulation to the agents of the tract, Murphy and Irwin for two reasons. At night they will make the place distinctive in that they will draw attention to it, while the lights at each entrance make it possible to see even

REAL ESTATE
KENNETH MEAKER TELLS IF HIS SNOW
 MEASURING TRIP ID WHITE MOUNTAINS

We could find. About $500 feet was the highest we went and for all that the ground was carpeted thick with snow, the temperature hung around 15 degrees above zero.
 Tt was thirty miles southeast to the upper end of the North Fork of the White River where the first observa- tions were to be made. We trailed out through the valleys, taking a fair road and making our trip in easy time. Three days we worked that upper fork, and on both sides. The boundary of the water shed was not far away at any time in our travels.
 We measured snow not only for it's depth but for it's density or water con tent There may be two drifts of equal depth but one packed much more firm ly than the other, and therefore con- taining a great deal more moisture. The method is to measure depth with rod, which you can see protrudlng about three feet out of the drift on one of these photographs. Right along side of the rod you see a little round con- traption. also sticking up from the snow. This is the end of a tWo-inch galvanized iron tube, four feet long l and equipped at the bottom with saw | teeth. This is the snow scale. To use | it. the observer twirls it and cuts down 1 into the snow bank Then he draws ! out the snow core and weighs it. This 1 is better than melting the snow tC measure the water, as the results are more accurate and less hard to get at After working the upper reaches ot 1 the White River we went twenty miles or so southwest to McKays peak, which
 we climbed. We also climbed Orc
 Peak and south of that-Green noun
 tain. We found great deal of snow on all these hills.
 Now, a systematic study of snow i conditions in the Roosevelt water shet leads me to believe that there was les: | snow this winter than last. but or looking at water reports l find tha there was more run off. This offse and to a degree, concealed the cOmpar

OAKLAND ADDITION
 LOOKS GOOD TO BUYERS
Rapid Improvement Great Drawing Card-Phoenix Growing Over
 Night.

The rapid improvement of the Oakland subdivision has attracted the attention of many wide-awake investors in Phoenix property. This is evidenced by the purchase of two lets by H. B. Chaney there this past week. In speaking of his purchase MT. Clancy said: "I have always been a great believer in the future of Phoenix and property convenient to the capitol building in particular. This is not my first purchase of property in West Phoenix and it will not be my last. I have seen Phoenix grow over night, as it were. The nursing period is over. the town has reached that point where it's every move will add en-fold to it's strength, and l predict a most rapid growth from now on-a development similar to that of Los Angeles
 Tt is my firm belief that investors in lots in Oakland are buying at the right time and I am backing my opinion by my purchase of these two lots. which l consider desirable both from an investment and home build : ing standpoint"
 Claude Wilcox, a recent arrival. has secured a corner lot on Willow street. MT. Wilcox will build early in the summer.
 After much delay the complete plans for the Pergola entrances have been finished and their installment will without question give Oakland a distinct appearance as a residence section, besides adding to the tone of the various street entrances.

FINANCE AND MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS p,spArcH1


 NEW YORK, April A creeping advance in stocks resulted in a re- covery of some of the ground lost yesterday. The retiring short con- tracts, customary at the week ends provided the principal demand. AL though the trading was dull and light the inquiry was sufficient in view of the prevailing scarcity in stocks, to bring about upturns among a great number of active shares.
 That forecasts of bank statements are of small value at quarterly pe- riods was shown once more In stead of the expected cash gain at $4,OO0,000 or more there was d loss of more than $6.0O0,O00 Financing | incidental to a distribution of April 1 interest, aud dividend payments was reflected in a loan increase of S23, 1S2 900, while the deposits rose | nearly $9O,OO0,OOO. A net result of these changes was the most unfavor- able bank statement of several weeks with drop of almost $12,0O0OOO in | the surplus. This condition will probably be rectified with a return to normal channels of the funds dis hursed at the first of the month. Bonds were steady.

MORE BUILDING LOOKED F0R IN
 NORTH PHOENIX
Work on Six-Inch Water Main for New Additions Begun, Settling All Early Approximations - Homes Will Go Up

A building boom for the northern part of the city is looked for in the very near future by those who claim to be in the know on account of the recent decision of Superintendent Avery Thompson after receiving sufficient guarantees to complete the construc- ton of a six-inch water main from the city direct north to the limits of the Bella Vista tract. This will give an added supply of water to all the tracts in that section and will provide the impetus that has been looked forward to for some time in that section, so that many property owners who have delayed the construction of homes there. will now go ahead.
 It is understood the work is to cost something in the neighborhood of ten thousand dollars. It will carry of a surety sufficient city water so that taps can be put in and supply obtained for all the property out there. Some delay had occurred before on account of the delay in the arrival of the pipe necessary to complete the work. How ever, this is now on the ground and the superintendent of the Phoenix wa ter service has lost no time in getting busy. Just how long it will be before the job is completed is not known, but | not more than three weeks, at the most. Arrangements have been made SC that the line can be tapped anywhere
 upon the payment of the usual five 1 dollar fee that is charged in town for | that service. Such an improvement is | a great boon to that section. Already there was some water in that neigh | bOrhood, but not sufficient for the needs of the suburb which is rapidly
 growing, but with the construction of
 the addition adequate pipe line, all fear
 of lack of quantity has vanished
 | During recent months there has beer
 a great deal of lot buying in that sec 1 tion, but the building looked for was l delayed owing to the apprehension
 about the water. This, however has been obliterated and building in that 1 section of town will immediately look up. Murphy and Irwin of Bella Vists place have been largely instrumental
 in getting the final touches made to tho deal.

Adams Street and First Avenue Scene of Remod- cling of Two Business Structures Which Will Improve Appearance

The corner of Adams street and of unexampled activity in the i'm provement line. On both north cor ner of the avenue there is now pro- ceeding great deal of store front work and general remodeling of the buildings that have for years been considered two of the best corners of the city.
 On the northeast corner R. l.. Bake is remodeling his two story building, which has been and still is the home of LamsOns Business Col lege. and where there are real estate offices, drug store and a butcher shop, to say nothing of the clothes cleaning emporium on the alley on First avenue. The front of the build ing is being removed on both First avenue and Adams street and new fronts are in the couse of installa- tion. The improvements are esti- mated at s10,000. When completed there will be five fine fronts on First avenue in addition to those on Adams street
 over on the other corner the O'Nein building is in the throes of an improvement era. On one eN- tremity of the structure the theater IS being put in, while on the actual corner formerly occupied by the Wakelin grocery, more remodeling is going on. When completed this prom i ises to be one of the finest looking fronts in the city, and with its l cousin across the street, will be d
