the Russells were conveniently going

REAL ESTATE ACTIVE
ON N. H. AVE.
There's been a great deal of "ac-
ITCHY in real estate" in that neck of
woods of late. The Floyd Wagga-
mans have recently moved from their
Corcoran street house into TIA New
Hampshire avenue and it's Mrs. Mel
son Reed Johnson's lovely house next
dcor-17l6 New Hampshire avenue
which Prince de Bearn. counselor and
charge d'affaires of the French embas-
sy, has bought. He very narrowly
missed having his house go up in
smoke the very day he moved in, for
through somebody's carelessness some
packing boxes in the yard caught fire
while the servants were at dinner
back in the Princes old house. The
windows were open, the wind was
blowing toward the house and a
pretty confagration was on the eve
Of breaking out when somebody

WASHINGTON PEOPLE
LINGER IN COUNTRY.

A good many Washington people
intend apparently to linger on in the
country through October. Mrs.
George Barnett is at Wakefield Manor
and probably won't come to town
much before the first of next month.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rozier Dulany and Miss
Anne Dulany are finding 1t impossible
to tear themselves away from their
lovely home up near Middleburg. and
Mr.. and Mrs. william Corcoran Eustis
are staying on at Oatlands through
this month. When they come back it
will be to move into Morton House
which has come to Mrs. Eustis as her
share in the estate of her father. the
late Levi p. Morton.
Mrs. Waddy b. Wood and her daueh-
tiers, Miss Lindsay Wood and little
Virginia, intend. I'm told. to stay at
Warrenton until Thanksgiving. Miss
Wood, however. motors down to
Washington frequently and can al
ways be here for any parties which
she wants to take in. as her father is
keeping their Bancroft place house
open. He joins the family in the
country for week-ends and as often
as he can get away from his Office.
Poor little Virginia Wood has been
having a hard time with her arm. She
| broke 1t many months ago in a fall
from her pony and somehow 1T didn't
heal properly and has been troubling
her ever since.
Most of the summer crowd have
gone from Warrenton and the fall
crowd is slowly coming in. but all
through the hunting country of yir-
ginia pink coats are beginning to be
seen. conversation turns on "dragsr
and fox hunting. and the appetizing
fragrance of hunt breakfasts is in
the air.

Onerof the strongest links in the chain of state highways in Arizona is the 25-mile BisbeeDouglas boulevard, the lasI gap of which is now being completed under the auspices of the state highway department. With the opening of this road a splendid all concrete boulevard will be placed at the disposal of the travelling public and for commercial use between two of the centers of the state.
 The completion of the gap will pro vide the longest stretch of highway paving in Arizona and marks d long step forward in the improvement of the Bankhead highway, entering the state from the east at Rodeo New Mexico, and connecting with the Cal ifornia highway system at Yuma.
 This model thoroughfare was start ed under a bond issue of Cochise county, but with the advent of the war and the attendant delays and in- creased costs of construction, the county was unable to complete the project. It was then that the state highway department undertook to fin ish the last eight and a half miles This gap, which lies between Forest ranch and Forest Station. was divided into two sections, the contracts for construction being awarded to Geo. II. Oswald and to McPeak. Dillon & Co On May 1st the Oswald contract was reported D percent complete and the MoPeak-Dillon job 30 percent com plete. The latter concern was handi- capped in starting the work as all the equipment had to be brought here from the coast Oswald had equip ment on the ground and was ready to start work much sooner. Today the entire gap is about two-thirds com plete.
 This project is being financed through use of Cochise county's share of the state 75 percent road fund and federal aid on the usual 50-5O basis The cost of construction, exclusive of engineering, will total in the neigh borhood of $27O.00O for the eight and half miles. or at the rate of little over s31.000 per mile, which. consid- ering the high costs of material and labor, the peculiar conditions which
Bisbee daily review., 1920-06-06

had to be met, and the high character of the work accomplished, is regard ed most reasonable.
 One of the handicaps of the situa- tion was that this section of the road is entirely without water To over come this it was necessary to lay a pipe line the entire length of the pro- ject, water being obtained from the railway on one end and from city wa ter mains on the other.
 This road is of solid Portland ce- ment concrete construction, Is feet in width, five and a half inches in thickness at the edges and six and a half inches at the center, with shoul- ders of three feet on either side of the paved portion. This has been adopted as standard specifications by the state highway department as be- ing sufficient to withstand the shock of heavy traffic, as well as providing ample passing room.
 That portion of the Bisbee-Douglas chise county bond issue was built un- der the direction of the late J. C. Ky an, former county highway engineer, and who also represented the state as division engineer.
 The work has been under the direc- tion of w. C. Goetz, resident engineer and l. P. Frazier, division engineer, with a corps of assistants from the state highway department.
