WEI RICK. TEarly in the year the civic Improvement committee of the Commercial club decided that as a part of Its year's work there should be run a series of articles from week to week In The Sunday Register and Leader. Under pressure of other work, this committee being one of the busiest in the Commercial club, this plan has been delayed. The responsibility for getting out the articles has been put upon the city's landscape architect, Ray F. Welrlck, and he will call upon the different members of the committee and upon other citizens for articles of publlo nature along tho lines of civic Improvement.

The chairman of the committee, Len E. Harbach, will also have general supervision over this work The question lias often been asked this spring, "What has become of the boulevard movement?" It will doubtless come as a relief to the friends of the movement to learn that the boulevard system of Des Moines is having a normal and healthy growth. It was not difficult to raise plenty of enthusiasm on the boulevard movement at Its Inception, because the public readily cheers any general project of city beautlficatton. But after the preliminary enthusiasm comes the far more difficult problem of finances. Everybody is willing to see the city Improved, If the other man pays for it, but when the matter becomes concrete and the enthusiast is shown that he may have to pay out considerable money.

It takes a reai pioneer of progress and one who sees a number of years into the future to Bmlllngly say, "Go ahead, and call upon ms for my fair share of the costs." It is to be feared that many property owners last year got the impression that the city was about to improve certain traots as boulevards and contiguous parks out of the city's general funds. This would be fair neither to the city nor to the proporty owner. While boulevards are without question a great source of healthful recreation to the city at large, nevertheless, they cause contiguous property to rise to so much greater values than before that benefited property can much more than afford to pay the costs, hi cities Where boulevard systems are in operation, It Is a common sight to see petitioners begging for the privilege of paying for a new boulevard, simply for the selfish reason that property will be much augmented In value. The property owners In Des Moines Interested In the various lines ot boulevards are rapidly wakening up to this fact, and the boulevard worked upon last eummer is likely to be permanently improved soon, the costs being charged up to benefited property the same as paving or curbing or sewerage or other such Improvements In this city. This Is the logical way, and.

the only way in which Des Moines can have a real boulevard system in a short time, and with satisfaction to ail the taxpayers. Buch Improvements start slowly, but ones started they are bound to succeed. Polk boulevard and Kingman boulevard, of oourse, already exist. Polk is wide enough, but is badly disfigured by poles and Is lax-king in gradlnr and tree f- I II 4 hu I Jttv I 111 1" ibi ilpiiilnBnsas ill a imtW The transfer of the property at east fourth and Vina streets to the Loetsch-tisJaeger company from the Nichols A flhepard company totalled $36,000, a fig ure which made a material difference dexlng schemes, maps of public improvements and photographs showing the possibilities of the olty.

CUMMINS. With the growth and development of Des Moines taking place dally, (has come the great demand for suburban acreage. For several years after the building of the first interurban line but little attention was given to the opportunities in acreage thus opened up. But gradually the people of this great community have come to realize the great advantages offered by Interurban service and the wonderful country opened up by it for the acreage settler. Where few years ago all was farm land, today many hundreds of acres have been subdivided into tracts varying In size from two to ten acres; new homes have been made; orchards and vineyards planted; truck gardens started, and beautiful suburban homes built.

The Interurban offers the suburban settler frequent, high speed passenger service, at a very reasonable cost, and also a dally merchandise, freight and express service, whereby all produce may be shipped to market early each morning, and supplies received from the city at a nominal expense; all without the loss ot time Incident to driving to andY from the city. Suburban acreage appeals to three classes of buyers; first, the man who wants a home in the country; second, the man who wants to obtain the greatest possible profits from an Intensive farming of a small piece of land; and third, the man who wants to Invest his money where it will be safe and where his Increase will be greater than can be obtained by any other form of Investment. The man who wants a suburban horn Is fast learning to appreciate the fact that he can live on an acreage tract ad-Joining the Interurban line and attend to his regular business In Dee Moines, easily going back and forth moraine and evening. That his family has all ot th advantages of the city; can easily go back and forth for shopping, entertain, ment, ahurob services, theaters; that hit children can attend 'Colleges and hlghei grades of school than found In his immediate locality, and that In all there are no more hardships to be put up with than are ordinarily found on the street car lines tn the cltyi The air Is pure and Invigorating.

For bulldlmrs like the Coliseum other cities larger than Des Moines have been satisfied to give thousands freely and consider the money wisely expended. Yet In this city the Coliseum has been so built and its subsidiary quarters so rent. ed that It will show a dividend making power that will prove to every hard-headed business man that the proposition Is a wonderful Buccess. Under the management of John Evan a a former Des Moines newspaper man, the building has been most successful and the outlook for the comjngi year is bright th showing for the week.

There is much land around Des Moines well adapted for this intensive, farming, and the people of this community are fast learning that the man with a few acres can make large net profits. Of all this land, however, because ot tha transportation facilities, the best adapted lies along the Interurban line, and hers are to be found the rloh opportunities.
