look out of her bedroom window, she
espied a man standing In the shadow
of the Robinson , store. r ..:r "
; She realised that it would be futile to
attempt to call an officer. She surmised
that the; man probably had a confeder
ate who was engaged in looting the
store. . She realised If they were made
aware ' that they , were watched ' they
would probably nee, leaving; their plun
der behind. She began an . Insistent
tattoo, on tho window pans with her
ring. Almost immediately the man on
the outside disappeared in the store.
When he "reappeared he was accompa
nied by another man. Ths two walked
rapidly away.
A search this morning revealed the
fact mat nothing had been taken from
the store.' . The two men are described
an rather tall and wearing overcoats.

association met last night at Woodmen
hall 'on Rodney avenue- ' anp Russell
street to consider the J. proposition , of
rebuilding the Williams avenue school
house. Owing to the small) attendance
by reason of the rain little . else but

ever, that the matter should rest until
after the summer vacation.

holding of concerts this summer. It
was discovered that arrangements have
already been made with the park com
mlbe loners to hold the concerts In she

on the grounds of Insanity, was sen

halo - as he arose for sentence. He
siooa witn nis bands la his pockets
and his Jaws worked on a chew of plug

vm sent to me insane . asylum, but
Judge Cleland said that the jury had
passed on that question, finding the

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.

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
