It is stated by the of the Capital Traction Company soon as this proposed improvement »mpleted the company will extend Its tracks along the new extension, as the charter of the company now permits. It is also said that the ground for the widening of the street north of Spring road has also been secured, and that the new road will be continued to the District Hne. ‘This extension will result in the abandon- ment of the present shifting place of the cars at 14th street and Whitney avenue, which interferes with travel and fs objected to by a number of citizens. As the gorge of the creek at the foot of the elevation to the east of Blagden’s Hill will be filled in, ona f the defects of the 14th street road’as a drive will not be found fn the new road, and the grade out to Brightwood and be- yond will be an easy one.

Your friends in Min- nesota believe that this gavel is typical of him to whom it is presented, the stone head nting sturdy character; the solid sterling purpose, and the ‘handle, the ard growing disposition of the ‘tree.
