Clark laughed at both these stories and seemed to think that Douglas is In more danger of losing his seat in council than himself. The opponents of Mr. Clark regard the matter of his residence in the ward as a serious one. They say that immediately after his election to council on the ticket of tha Citizens' 'Municipal league in 1S9S he removed to Sewlckley and has lived there ver. until last September, when he moved back to the ward in time to vote there.

It is claimed that under the limitations imposed by the new charter as to the time which a citizen must have lived in a ward to be eligible to represent it in council Mr. Clark will be excluded, even if he should be elected. Mr. Clark says that he has always maintained his residence in the ward, having lived in Sewickley only In the summer time. Mr.

Douglas said yesterday that the fight In the Twenty-first ward Is in ex the HAN ets IO FOR A FOR A once the old "WM. HOME SITE. SPECULATION RARE The Great Sale is on, and with a mighty rush.

2 is having an effect on the contests for control of ward organizations. Opponents of the machine yesterday professed to find in it great proof of the decline of the power of William Fllnn as city boss and went to work with renewed vigor to secure the election of their candidates. In the Twer.ty-Hrst ward this was especially the case. Common Councilman Robert II. Douglas and Ward Chairman Charles FJnley, whose control of the ward is being contested by the following of Select Councilman J.

M. were particularly delighted with the evidence which It gives that Fllnn himself is "taking orders." Mr. Douglas and Mr. Finley were kept pretty busy yesterday denying' stories set in circulation by the opposition, and they Xound in the Hunter Incident an effective means of refutation. Two of the principal of these stories were that Mr.

Douglas is making 'overtures to be received Into camp by the machine, and that Fin-ley is about to withdraw from the contest for re-election. Both tales are emphatically denied. The allegation that Douglas wants to make peace was made by Mr. Clark, who said: "A few days agi Mr. Douglas sent a man to see one of the city directors with The object of making peace with the organization.

He received no encouragement, and it is not at all likely that he will be taken In on his own terms. He is fighting at present -for the porpose of demonstrating that he has a little strength in the ward, and in order to be in position to make terms later. He has warned a number of his supporters not to tie tliemsel ve up In such a manner as not to be able to make peace with the machine." Mr. Clark's attention was called to a view of the present fight which is taken by the opposition to his leadership and which Is to the effect that It Is a prelude to another to come next February, the desire of Clark to obtain control of the ward organization being due to a desire to secure a Republican nomination to the seat in select council, which he now occupies. He wns Informed that it is claimed he will not be eligible for re-election under the new charter, having only Nothlnr so rfrhlni a half wtn-la ef DR.

He denied having tried to get Into the machine camp, and pointed to the withdrawal of Hunter as a candidate for judge as showing that it is not any-longer necessary for Republican ward leaders to acknowledge Senator Flinn as their master. The stories about him, thought, were being circulated for the purpose of inducing Finley to withdraw or of inducing some of the place holders, who might otherwise desert, to stay with the machine. He declared it absurd to think that Chairman Finley could be scared out.

J. Emerson Ash also declared that there was no likelihood of Finley quitting the fight. MARRIAGE LICENSES. Charles H. Wilson Esther J.

Re it ordained and enacted by the Select and Common Councils of the City of Allegheny, and it Is hereby ordained and enacted by the authority of the same.

The owner determined at the very outset to lay out this great farm into immense plots many of? them little farms in themselves. These large plots? vary from an acre down, scarcely a piece being less than a 50-foot front.

On such sites one can enjov his own fruit, his own vegetables, his own Never before in this county has there been such an? Why We Can Sell at One-Fouurfh (lA) Prices. The Wra. Semple farm, beautiful as it was, was bought at a farm price. Look' at the map. Nothing but a ravine separated these charming acres from built-up Avalon.

The farm was bought at a price about one-eighth the price of acreage immediately across the little ravine. Mark you, ONL-EIQHTH its real value just because of a ravine. Well, the bridge was built, and now the Wm. Semple farm is but feet from a double track, stone ballasted car line. It's the "Wm.

Semple" farm no more, but one of the handsomest residence parks in the whole county. liuying at one-eighth its natural value, the owner was able to erect a fine steel bridge, grade streets, lay 'Z miles sidewalks, and still sell large home sites at ONE FOURTH (lA) WHAT NEIGHBORING PROPERTY IS Fast Way of Making Money and the Slow Way. Don't overlook the fact that unless the money you save becomes at once an earning power you are neglecting the very principle of true saving; and that your money in a savings bank divides its earnings with the bank. By our plan a $500 lot, say, can be bought for $23 done. The minute you buy you begin to reap the benefit of the APPRECIATION ON THE WHOLE LOT though you have actually paid for but one-twentieth (1-20) of it.

It is no uncommon thing to re-sell such a lot at $100 gain within a week or a mouth, making the gain $100 on the $25 invested, equaling 400 PER CENT. Making from $100 to $200 out of a $25 investment is no great feat at a red-hot sale, such as North Avalon. The Steel Bridge Free to the People. The startling news that a new bridge was to be built across the ravine that separated Avalon proper from the Wm. Semple farm (now North Avalon) was received with a great deal of skepticism.

But the great structure is up TESTED and is an old story now. The linear measurement is 520 feet, and is amply wide to afford the passage of conveyances in opposite directions, besides a generously 'wide walk for pedestrians. Thus the question of accessibility is solved, bringing North Avalon within 900 feet of California avenue, where the cars" run. opportunity for home sites of such immense dimeri- sions at such ridiculously low prices. In less than a month you'll wish your holdings at North Avalon were double yes, 4 times what they are likely to be.

Avalon's advance has been phenomenal; North Avalon will be no exception. The new steel bridge brings this residence park at once into equal value with Avalon at ONE-FOURTH THE PRICET STIFFLY HELD AT. 5c Carfare. 5c Train Fare. Fine Graded Schools City Advantages.
