possible for one to sit through the third
act of "Secret Service" if it is in any
manner well-played and not feel the
pulse quicken and acknowledge an In
terest that is almost painful in the
fate of Captain Thome.
And, fortunately, "Secret Service" Is
being well played by the Baker Stock
company trim week. At least It was
very well played under trying circum
stances yesterday afternoon. The cir
cumstances were that the Sunday aft
ernoon crowa is aiincuu enougn to
play to under any conditions it is
there to chew rum and dron dimes In
the candy boxes while the people who
did want to see the play were trans
formed into a statu or eomnleta innrln
by the failure of the management to
use even the' primitive ventilating ap
pliances at its oommand. By the close
of the first act the people in the body
of the house had been so poisoned that
they were unable to think or record any
sensation. If the air on the stara vu
anywhere near so bad, the performance
of the members of the company was
something almost heroic. As employes

uut tne Play, as well as mv reellnur

PORTLAND RAILWAY, LIGHT
. & POWER
THE STREET RAILWAY AS A DEVELOPING AGENT.
- ' In this bulletin we propose to treat a very Important function
of a street railway company, namely, tha part it playa in develop
ing the auburba and outlying sections of the chy in which it ta
-placed...' ,;;' ;-r,
, This subject is of auch intefeit to every one fa the community
that we shall have to divide the discuasion of it into two parta 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 190?,
Jinder the heading of "The Urban Street Railway as Social
Factor," the report says: 'The street railway has ben probably
the most important single influence in dispersing urban population.
The chief function of a street railway in a great city la 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
and 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 a 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 great numbers more than one-half
hour'a 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.
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 ia largely covered by two and three-story houses, and it is
not standing still. 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 of 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 waa 38 square miles; in 1907, 44.75
square miles. Due to the rapid extension of the street railway
lines much of this haa since become improved city property, mak
ing a tremendous increase in the taxable basia 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 tranait as a developing agent in the auburban 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 milea outside the city limits.
When these lines were built they ran through very sparsely settled
localities. TBey 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 stiu
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
assistance given to it by the railways.
