Inaood, Cedarhurst. Woodmer and Hewlett. Those In- tertc4 In the project have made a thoroush study of such aa undertaking in many places and have come to the conclusion that the Kockawaya offer the beat proposition for the project. They have found that the climate along the Ro kawa Is very health ful, tha location within easy commutation distance of the city, that there are public and parochial schools in virtually every section, churches of every denomination, good fire and police protection, country clubs, amusements, excellent water. saa and electrical supply, good road and still water hathtns and yachting.

The syndicate haa taken note or the lack of small home for the poor working class and the necessity of the erection of modern dwellings. The names of the members of the syndicate will be made public short ly, it was announced yesterday. In the meantime It 4s rumored. In real estate circles around the Rock-aways, that one of the principal figures In the syndicate Is U. Smith, owner of the Cedurhurst Club, which he leased yesterday to a prominent Manhattan hotel proprietor.

Mr. Smith owns Whitehull. the beautiful estate at Hayswater. and haa invest -eed extensively during the past five years in vacant land In the Rockaway section. In addition to his Rockaway investments he purchased at Lawrence tho entire Lennox block, consisting of spartment houses and store.

He plans to open a department store In the building at the corner of Central ave. and Rockaway turnpike, now occupied as a grocery store. Mr. Smith has an interesting personality. He Is not only very quick In his purchases, hut he is generous as well.

The Knights of Columbus, after commencing their new home on Cornaga discovered that a larger plot was needed. After a conference with Mr. Smith, the Knights secured the adjoining lund for $1,260, although he was advised that they would pay $3,000 for it. In addition to this, he offered the Knights the use of the Cedarhurst Hotel for a big social event soon to take place. BULLETIN OF APPEALS Building Zone Problems to Be Discussed by Standards Board.

ENTIRE TOWN TO BE REMOVED 2 MILES Draining of Snake River Makes 2,000 Evacuate Site. focatello, Idaho, July 9 (By thsj' Associated Press) Itcmovnl of tha entire town of American Falls, Idaho, with its population of 2,000, two op three miles to a new site higher than, its present location, Is to be attempt ed within a few months by engineer-! working on a huge irrigation project. Waters of the Snake River, on which American Falls is located, ara to be dammed according to present plans, and will be used to reclaim some 300,000 or more acres of land now given over to the sagaj-i brush. Kngineers say the project Is one of the largest ever attempted. The big; dam itself will have an abutment ot one mile In length, will be 60 feet high and will have a base sufficiently strong to stand an additional 30 feet should it ever be deemed necessary to add to its height.

The big reservoir, to be filled by th waters backing up from the dam. will cover some 76 square miles and will have an impound of 3,000,000 square teet. Its waters will extend from American Falls to Blackfoot, a dis tance of about 20 miles. The reservoir will have a shore line of nearly 100 miles and at its widest point it will be four miles across and, in places, 90 feet deep. Besides moving the town of American Falls, it will be necessary to tear up the Oregon Short Line Railroad and move it to higher bench land.

A railroad bridge will be razed and a new one constructed farther up the Snake River. The Idaho Power Com. pany's plant furnishing light and power to the southeastern section of the State will be removed. The dam site has been surveyed and preliminary work in the form of drilling for a r.olid rock foundation has been started. PROSPECTORS SEEK LOST RIVER OF GOLD Edmonton, Alta, June 28 (By the Associated Press) Searching for a lost river a river of gold will be undertaken this year by several prospectors, including oldtimers from the Yukon and Alaska, who are now here outfitting for the long journey into the North country.

This lost river bed, where the Peace River once flowed, is somewhere in the big bend of the Peace, bisected by a line drawn from Fort St. John to the mouth of th Battle River. Some years ago an Indian brought into Fort St. John a fair-sized gold nugget which, according to the tale told by oldtimers of the North, he discovered in a stream in the country to the northeast of the post. Soon after this an old trapper, a white man.

who made Fort St. John his headquarters, came into the fort with a quantity of coarse gold which he had washed from some stream in a similar direction to that from whicn the Indian hailed. He never visited his trap lines after this, livintr nn Itio ft i carefree idleness nt the post. He often oisnniurn, wnenever his supplies of necessaries ran low, and would be away for a few days, alwavs returning witii a iresn supply ot gold This aged trapper lived In this manner for a number of years. He died, as many trappers and north country men have, on the trail.

His body was found frozen. With him went his secret, he never having told to anyone the location of his find. The books of the Hudson's Bay Company still contain a large credit account in the name of the old trapper. Northmen, who tell the story of the mystic Eldorado north of the Pence, declare that tne gold was only available afler a heavy fall of snow, with which the old fellow apparently washed his mineral. From nn analysis of the circumstances generally.

It is thought that the place from which the gold was taken was some old river bed where the Peace once flowed, but whether the story Is correct or not remains to be proved. Prospectors, however, are putting up Here's an Attractive Looking Suburban Cottage With Garage Worked in as Part of the House Proper knows as IUdgewood lUifhts and cow claims for Grftlfr the localities formerly kooan Metropolitan Eat Villiaml.ur.

Among the legislative achievement.1 of the Chamber during the fifteen months of its existence is that it had enacted into law a bill for the relocation of the tracks on the Fi Pond rd. to the middle of the highway. The tracks have been close to the curb, which has been detrimental to the trade on the stroet. not nnlv in Kidgrewood, but in Maspcth. No merchandise could be delivered at the curb, and the citv could not re.

pair and rcpave the street, which has heen a mudhole In winter nnd a dust sty et in the summer, the. dust filling the houses. This road is several miles in length, extending from Fresh Pond station of the Myrtle ave. road to Maspeth. It was entirely due to the work of the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce that Public Works Commissioner Barrett ordered a public hearing in the matter of the surface railroad's continued occupancy of Palmetto st.

with Its tracks after the line of the Lutheran Cemetery extension was completed. This matter has hnd the attention of the city au-' thoiities for 10 years, but nothing was done until the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce took the work up. 1'nder the urgent pressure of the Chamber and Commissioner Barrett the company Is now forced to relorate the tracks and repave a stretch of Palmetto st. from Wvckoff ave. to Fresh I'ond rd.

The final order was issued by Commissioner Barrett June 9 after the company hnd refused to comply with previous orders. Store Cemeteries in Boro. The' Chamber has made a strong fight against the acquisition of any more land in Queens for cemetery purposes. In its petition protesting against the granting to the Linden Hill Cemetery Corporation the right to use for cemetery purposes six neres or more of a tract adjoining its present burial ground, it stated that there is now over 1,000 acres in Queens used for cemetery purposes, which escape nil taxation and pay no assessments for local improvements. The total assessable value of these lands is over $10,000,000.

More than half of all the burials of the City of New York are made in Queens and nine-tenths of tlicni- are In the Ridgewood and Maspeth sections. Most of these cemeteries are money making projects. The Chamber is now conducting a campaign for $100,000 public library. The city lvrs acquired a $35,000 site. Invests In Franklin Ave.

It Is the policy of this house to do what Is possible, consistent with sound business practice, in assisting in the upbuilding of the nation through providing funds for buildings. We are happy to say that we huvc found the present season productive of many splendid opportunities for underwriting building loans which comply with our requirements.

In our opinion, the general situation, so far as building work goes, is improving and we anticipate considerable activity between the present time and the close of the building season." HEADS INDUSTRIAL DEPT. The increasing demand for industrial space in this boro within the past few years and the large number of real estate deals Involving business I property, including many factory deals, has induced many real estate firms to establish a special depart ment for the handling of this kind of business. During the past week the Bulkley Horton Company installed an industrial department In its Myrtle ave. ollice, making that locution the head quarters for its branch offices. W.

Malcolm Gray, former manager of the Industrial department of the Burling Realty Company, joined the Bulkley iSi Horton Company last week and was placed in charge or tho new depart ment.

OLD LANDMARK TOGO Clarkson Homestead Over 100 Years Old to Give Way to Business Block.

Clarkson to whom the property was conveyed by Gen. Matthew Clarkson, an ollleer in the Mexican War. The old original house located at 1915 Church about 50 feet west of Ocean was built over 100 years ago and has been occupied by the Clarkson family for several generations. An easterly wing was built to the structure about 30 years ago. The house was occupied after the death of Freeman Clarkson by his five children, two sons, Freeman nnd Lloyd, and three daughters, Gertrude, Helen and Florence.

SIOUX CHIEF KEPT 2 WIVES TILL DEATH Pierre, S. July 9 (By the Associated Press) In the recent death of Chief Iron Lightning, at his home near Thunder Butto in the northwestern part of the Cheyenne Indian reservation, the country lost probably the greatest of the few remaining famous Indian characters who figured in the early history of Dakota Territory. Iron Lightning was one of the sub-chiefs, who, under Sitting Bull, participated in the memorable battle ol the Little Big Horn, June 25, 1876, when Custer and his band of 261 men were annihilated.

He is said to be the last of the chiefs who were In control of the Sioux Nation at that time. He was 76 years old at the time of his death and has for years made his home in the vicinity of Thunder Butte station. Unusually tall and well proportioned, even' for an Indian, and possessing a voice which commanded at tention and obedience, although it knew no word of English, Iron Lightning was a natural leader of men. In the early part of this century following the Ute Indian uprising, when the Utes had been rounded up and sent to the Cheyenne reservation, it was Iron Lightning who went among them urging them to forget their grievance with the whites and settle down to peaceful lives. He was the last Indian, so far as is known, to have continued to live with two wives after the order prohibiting polygamy and further polygamous marriages among the Indians was made.

Iron was called to the Thunder Butte Htatlon when this order was received and told he must choose between the two women with whom he was living. "If the Commissioner has lived with one woman," the Chief replied in Indian, "he will know 'how impossible it is for Iron Lightning to separate himself from two. Iron Lightning laughs." This speech won for him his rase nnd the two wives were retained. They lived together in hncmony, one doing the cooking for the family, which among the Indians is regarded as an honor, for one week when the other came into power lor a like period.

i -SSttTMOM-L ifii rtfiitriririr iivnimnirrf The new American cottage is not merely pretty little house with roses outside and nothing inside but inconvenience. It is well designed. It is practical, economical and convenient. It must have a comfortable living room with an open fire, bedrooms always, of course bath, and a maid's room when the maid can be afforded or found. We are short about 5,000,000 homes in America, and every man has his own ideal of a home.

House building can no longer be an adventure in real estate. It is the building up of something interesting, a good investment, to be sure, but a delightful place to live in. The cottage shown In the illustration that accompanies this article was designed to be built in the country, or ut least in a village or town. It has a wide frontage which cannot be often gained from a city lot. It is essentially a house that requires ornamentation of flowers and the association of trees; for it is severely simple, relying, solely on Nature's co-operation in the matter of finish.

The silhouette of this house is especially fine, for It rests upon the earth wi'h a llim wide base nnd yet seems to lilt into the air with a joyous 'swing. I is symmetrical, with plenty of windows and pleasing roof lines, and yet not formal enough to be repellent. Many people like to have a garage as part of the house proper. To comply with fire laws, such a house would have to built of hollow tile and stucco or brick. Hollow tile and stucco are especially good for this type of construction.

The house could be built on a coiner lot and entrance to the garage made directly from the side. Or a private roadway could run from the street front with enough swing In front of the garage to admit turning the car. From the porch one can enter the garage, and, us this passageway is noun money to test the truth of the theory that the precious metal does ex- noniuwnere to tne north of (Jlear Hills In large quantities..
