Chris Nelson Home
 Burned to Ground

Many Tokoensns were awakened at -3:3O a. ID. Friday to find the home Of Chris Nelson in flames. The large two roorn cabn, which was one of the best in town, was already past saving when help arrived.
 Mr. Nelson, who wae awakened by the suffocsting smoke pouring into his bedroom. with difficulty made his es- cape through 8 rear window.
 The fire apparently started under the floor in the front part of the house, doubtless from spark thrown cut by the large ss~ser So rapidly aid tas dames spread that absolutely nothing conld be saved from the house.
 Several good workers were on tRe ground earlY-although Qui9e few others appeared l&ter-among then Bob Shivelv, Dick Stevens, Bob Low rie, Frank Larson, Dave Clough and 6 few others, all of whom did their best, although eo no avail, to save the build, ing. Finding their efforts in this be- half frnitless, they turned their stten- tiou to confnng the flames to that structure and to saving the Robert Lowrie foundry on the left and The Kusko Times building on the right. Fortunately, there was no wind at the time, the flames and smoke ascending directly overhead. The fire, however, was 50 hot that the flames would have extended to the lumber structure known as the Wi6man building. just this side Of LowriSs shop, had not 8 line of sheet iron plates been erected bet weea the .ewo. which is declared t1 have been the'happy thought of Dave Clongh. The Times msn herewith ex- presses grateful acknowledgment to those who kept weather eye on The Times building, and particularly to 'Messrs. Larson and Stevenson for kind services rendered.
 Much sympathy is being expressed for Chris Nelson, whose loss is & heavy one-tools which perhaps could not be replaced for less than Sl000, aswinter's outfit, clothing, valuable watch, and money.
 Chris is well known as man always ready to help anyone in need, and there are few oldttmefs who have not en- joyed his hospitality. His friends are many, and. to see him go ahead again they are maniiesting thetr appreciation ;y, o p1Dot HftinU nannpr

Real Growth i'm Suburbs
The real growth of Washington
has been in the suburbs, and great
credit is due those pioneer bun iers

to plan these communities and sub
divisions in keeping with the City
Beautiful"
3 Many new apartments have been
built in the suburbs. One of the
first builders to erect an apart
ment any distance from the up
town apartment district was Harry
Wardman, when he built Wardman
Park Hotel, one of the most sue
cessful and one of the largest
apartment hotels in the city.
Today it is necessary to go even
farther into the suburbs in order
to get land for the building of apart
ments as well as row houses.

is estimated that municipal expenses

largely due to the fact that a mum

are simply the result OF impulses.
