John Donahue, who made -a' murder ous assault on his uncle, Edmund Sweeney, and whose defense was basad on the grounds of Insanity, was sen tenced to serve five years in the peni tentiary by Judge Cleland this morn ing. When arrested for shooting his Uncle, who had a nArrnw Mr,n frnm death, Donahue told the officers that;! ,ic uuu, anu ever since ns nas Indulged In incoherent talk. Donahuo was not surrounded by a halo - as he arose for sentence. He siooa witn nis bands la his pockets and his Jaws worked on a chew of plug tobacco. His attorney asked that he vm sent to me insane . asylum, but Judge Cleland said that the jury had passed on that question, finding the uvicnuani sane Donahue shot at his uncle four times, and three or . the , shots took effect. The attack was made without apparent provocation and without warning. The trial developed the fact that Sweeney had some time before refused to loan Donahue money to erect a house, although he had previ ously loaned him money and befriended him In- many ways. Donahue in his incoherent way maintained that he did not shoot his uncle, but shot a man named Casey, whom, he said, the gods had condemned to perdition. R. W. Olllett. 68. years of aire, also stood . before Judge Cleland for sen tence this morning, having been con victed of uttering a forged Check.

PORTLAND RAILWAY, LICH & POWER Bulletin llo.' THE STREET RAILWAY AS A DEVELOPING AGENT. Id this bulletin we propose to treat a very important, function of a street railway company, namely, the part it plays in develop ing the suburbs and outlying sections of the . city in which it ia .placed, '- -'o;: vS-,.'i...-;.'-;s .v-. . ;''-', ' ' This subject is of such interest to every one in the community that we shall have to divide the discussion of it into two parts in order more fully to cover it, leaving some portions to be treated ; in our next bulletin. , THE SOCIAL VALUE OF RAPID TRANSIT. In the special report of the United States census office of 1902, under the heading of The Urban Street Railway as a Social Factor," the report says: The street railway vhas been, probably the most important single influence in dispersing urban population. -The chief function of a street railway in a great city is the distri bution of the population over a wider area than it would otherwise be possible to occupy. Economic and social forces tend powerfully to draw multitudes of peoples into huge urban communities, and as the inhabitants increase in numbers they must either crowd ever closer and closer together to the detriment of health and com fort, or they must find some means by which, without intolerable waste of time and strength they may live farther from one another snd from their places of business." , A CITY GROWS EITHER PERPENDICULARLY OR HORIZONTALLY. A city grows perpendicularly, in the form of tenement houses and high buildings, or horizontally, spreading itself in the form of smaller buildings over s much larger area. The character of growth is determined by the time consumed in transportation between the business and residential sections of the city. People will - not live in treat numbers more than one-half hour's time from the business sections of the city. Slow and irreg ular service materially decreases the dwelling house area and the people crowd together. If the service is rapid and regular, the radius of the residence circle is enlarged and the dwelling house' area proportionately increased. - V: t .; o.; ' This healthy growth, will vary according to the character of the street car service. - Thus in Glasgow, Scotland, where the railway mileage is very limited, or in New York, where the service to the east and west is hampered by the rivers, tenement houses prevail and social conditions cause grave concern. Z The horse car could travel but a short distance in a half hour, and the suburban growth of the city was limited. The result of the early adopting of rapid transit here was the speedy enlarge ment of the dwelling area and greatly improved social conditions. PORTLAND THE "CITY, OF HOMES." Portland has few tenements; it requires but superficial examin ation to see how well the city stands in this respect. .Its .great area is largely covered by. two and three-story houses, and it is not standing stilL 1 A glance at every suburb will show that vast building operations, consisting of two and three-story houses, are now being pushed far out into the new subdivisions. - ' While this represents the energy and enterprise pf our citizens, we feel that they will not begrudge us our claim to have aided in making this growth possible and profitable. . . Prior to 1905 the city area was 38 square miles; in 1907, 44.75 square miles. Due to the rapid extension of the street railway lines much of this has since become improved city property, mak ing a tremendous increase in the taxable basis of the city. , The electric railway system is equally indispensable to the dis tricts outside the city limits. ' Its suburban and country lines accomplish two things. ;; First, a great number of people .who have their offices in the city are enabled to live in the suburbs Second, the sections of the country transversed by the electric lines are brought into much closer relationship to each other, thus greatly enlarging and developing the field of business activity in, these sections. The most forcible argument in favor of the value of rapid transit as a developing agent in the suburban and interurban districts is the increase in population and prosperity in these dis tricts which has taken place since the electric lines were built But the company is pushing still farther out and extending ahead of the population. It has many miles outside the city limits. When these lines were built they ran through very sparsely settled localities. They did not pay for many, years. Some of them do not pay now, but substantial homes have sprung up, lining the various routes, and the people have availed themselves to a surprising extent of their opportunity to leave the crowded sections and still be within easy reach of their places of business. ' Present conditions are a stronger argument than anything we can say to show the remarkable growth of the suburbs and the fioolofarii trlvfit tft If fctf th fallwiva ' I & : -tjSBBBBBSBSBSMBBBBBBBSSBMBBSBBBBBBMBaBBBBBBBBBBB TEETH Save .'
