have another look at Grandfather
Chuck's hole under the old stump. AS
he sat looking at it something hit him
on the head. 1t was a pine cone. He
looked up to see where it had come
from. There, peering down from a limb
directly over his head, was the grinning
face of Chatterer the Red Squirrel.
Reddy started to snarl. and then
thought better of it. Instead he grinned
back at Chatterer. Hello, Chatterer.
said he. You gave me a start. I
might have known where that cone came
from. What's the news over here in
the Green Forest?"
Chatterers sharp eyes twinkled mis-
chievously. Hello. RedGy." said he.
You seem to be very much interested
in Grandfather Chuck's old hole. Don't
YOU know that no one has lived there
for ever and ever so long,"
''Of course. Chatterer. OF course" re-
way when it struck me as queer that
this hole isn't all filled up with snow.
1t struck me that some one might have
dug it open You haven't seen any one
about here lately have you?'
Chatterer chuckled do YOU suppose
would tell you if I had:" said he.
Il never tell what I know. l didn't sup
that you didn't know. BY the way.
what are these stories I hear of how
Peter Rabbit has fooled you until you
are the laughire-stocl Of the Green
Forest and the Green Meadows"
Instantly Reddy's quick temper fared
up. Peter Rabbit has been lucky,
that's ALL" he snapped
You mean Peter has been smart"
chuckIed Chatterer. Il saw him over
hnre yesterday. and Mrs. Peter was with
him He didn't seem at all worried. He
seems to go about just as he pleases
You may be smart. Reddy: you may
be smart. but you've got to be smar rter
| than you've ever been yet to catch Peter
Rabbit
Reddy Fox suddenly swallowed his
temper. He grinned up at Chatterer in
the most friendly way. Well said he.
"I guess I'll have to admit that Peter
has been smart. 7 still think he has
been Lucky. but 7 guess he has been
smart too. ] think. however, that you
were mistaken about seeing him over
here Yesterday. 7 am very sure he
couldn't have been here. You must have
seen some one else and thought it was

NEW APARTMENTS
TO OFFER RELIEF
Quarters for 1000 to 5000
Families Provided by New
Construction.

Living quarters for 1000 to 5000
families will be provided in large
apartment buildings just completed
or in course of construction in Vari-
/ Gus sections of the city. That the
new apartment buildings now ready
or to be completed by early summer
will materially relieve the congestion
here as regards housing is the belief
OF persons familiar with the situation.
One of the new buildings, probably
the largest single apartment house
in the city, the Chastleton. at 10th
and r streets northwest, together with
the annex now nearing completion,
will contain more than LOCO apart
ments ranging from one room. kitch-
enette and bath, to six rooms. kitchen
and bath.
The Hadleigh Apartment Hotel at
10th. w and streets and New liamp-
shire avenue, almost ready for occu-
pancy. will have about $50 house
keeping apartments on six floors. The
Calverton. at Columbia and Quarry
roads, and the Chateau Thierry, at
Goth and S streets, have about the
same number of housekeeping apart
ments. Other smaller buildings, work
OH which is in progress. are to con-
tain from thirty-siX apartments up
ward.
Others to BE Begun.
In addition to the apartment build
ingS practically ready for use, partly
occupied or nearing completion. at
least half dozen others are projected
and work is to begin on them in the
early spring or summer.
Worthy of note is the fact that all OF
the apartment buildings under construc-
ton or projected incorporate features
of design, arrangement and equipment

ments in apartment house construction
and planning that are included in some
or all of the large and modern build

or projected for the near future.

Suggestion of Ki5bey; Direc-

Walter Kibbey, valley representa-
tive in Washington and not u. S. K.

original request for the much talked
of conference, about which a minia-
ture storm is centering among the IT.
rigation district directors.
Mr.. kibbey takes full responsible
ty for the request and regrets that
Mr.. Davis has been placed in false
light.
He states that the Irrigation Dis
trict will have five votes and the
American Legion five votes out of d
total of % votes at the proposed con-
ference. Lower California, termed
Mexican interests, would have two
votes at the proposed conference. The
state of California one, state of Ari-
iona one and various other bodies
would be granted the privilege. The
valley however would directly control
a block of ten votes which is nearly
half of the proposed grand total.
The conference it is expected would
result in much benefit to all concern
ed.
The directors of the Irrigation Dis
trict are divided over the advisable
ty of the proposed plan, some being
for it and some against it.
