Bulletin No. t Part 2
THE STREET RAILWAY AS A DEVELOPING AGENT.
In our last bulletin we discussed at some length the function a
street railway performs in developing the outljring sections and
suburbs of a city and dispersing the population over a wide area.
Today we will go into the subject more in detail and show just
what the street car service here has done toward decentralizing
' the population.
THE CONGESTED WARDS OF THE CITY.
Let us look at the growth of the congested wards in the city in
recent years and compare it with the growth of the outlying sec
i tions. Even a superficial glance will show that wards 1, 4 and 6,
covering respectively Willamette Heights, City Park and Portland
Heights, have had a far more rapid increase in population than
those lying, in the older sections of the city, while the wards on
: the cast side, particularly ward 8, show a wonderfully large increase
in population. Statistics show that the wards in the center of the
city in the congested districts have increased but very slightly in
the last five years, while the great growth has been in the above
mentioned outlying wards. This has been due unquestionably to
the constantly increased facilities for reaching the outlying sec
tions where there was ample room for the erection of beautiful
homes, which would have a commanding view of the river and
mountains, or as on the east side, where there was opportunity for
beautiful grounds and the growth of rosea and other flowers for
which the city is so well famed.
. A great increase in population like this could never have taken
place if every encouragement had not been given it by ample rapid
transit facilities. ':
While it is not the duty of a street railway company to build
unwisely and while it should be careful not to be misled by mere
land-booming schemes, we feel that we have been right in our
policy in leading in the development of the city by building lines
which may not pay for some years, but which will tend to develop
a particular section and should eventually yield the company a
return upon its investment.
PORTLAND. COMPARED WITH OTHER CITIES.
The character of your street railway service cannot be brought
home to you in a stronger or more forcible way than by a com
parison of our mileage with that of other cities proportioned to
the population. The following table compares Portland with
various other cities. Glasgow, Scotland, is selected because it is
so frequently pointed out by the advocates of municipal ownership
as the ideal city.

Look at Glasgow. It is pointed to with pride as the Onecn City
by the theoretical advocate of municipal ownership, and yet Glas
gow with, over seven times the population of Portland has but 7
per cent more trackage, while Portland has nearly seven times the
.trackage of Glasgow per 1,000 of population. Think of itl Suppose
the Portland Railway, Light ft Power Company should pull up
more than six sevenths of its track. How near to your homes
would the majority of you be able to ride in the evenings? How
quickly and conveniently would you be able to get from one sec'
tion of the city to another? And, on the other hand, wouldn't the
company cut down its operating expenses immensely? We do not
: think the American public would stand very long for Glasgow Or
'the Glasgow policy, v Vv P
Philadelphia, which has over 14 times the population of Port-
. land, has but one third the trackage per mile of population, while
New York. (Manhattan and Bronx), with nearly 21. times the;
population has about one fifth the trackage of Portland per 1,000 of
popuation.

and resultant explosion from which th
university is still far from recovered. .
A parade at Stanford, among other
college customs, is a tradition sanctified
by a steady and unwavering observance
for the last decade of the university's
existence. It had been nursed into ex
istence by the pioneers at the new
school in the days when Archie Rice,
George McMillan, Chester Murphy and
Bill and Wallace Irwin were the big

the simmering light of a full California
mooon hundreds of Stanford men, clad
in their pajamas, would do the serpen
tine in ghostly silence about the inner
quadrangle and Roble hall, the girls'
dormitory. Later in the autumn there
were the football parades, the Hal
loween parade and the parade that was
usually pulled off just after th fall
term examinations. Then they were
the Impromptu and suddenly conceived
parades, which arose out of any extraor

feeling was deeply moved.
The now near famous parade of the

Mini Lies in Cellar of Hotel
Four Days Unable to More
or Call for Aid.
(United Press Letted Wire.)
Ban Francisco, May 23. To lie for
days and nights partly asphyxiated by
gas, conscious yet unable to cry out for
assistance, was the harrowing experi
ence of Henry Cook, an employe of th
Hotel Atherton at 1661 Octavia street
Cook was found by another employe of
the hotel and removed to the central
emergency hospital, where it Is feared
he will die.
Cook gasped out his story on the op
erating table of the hospital while the
doctors were working over him.
. "I went down to the cellar Monday
ventng to fix a leaking gas pipe." he
said. "Ibe odor of gas waa very strong
in the smell basement but I paid no at
tention to It. thjnklng th feeling of
drowsiness which selsea me would wear
off In a few minutes. From that tlm
on I knew nothing. When I awoke I
was lying on the flat of my back. I
made several attempts to rise but each
time fell back exhausted. All th
strength seemed to have left my body.
It seemed days and days bafora lleht
came and when the first rays of light
came mrougn in oasement window I
was sure some one would find me In
the cellar From where I was lying 1
could see the sun as It raised higher and
higher, and later when It set I gave
up all hop of being saved and as night
drew on the pangs of thirst and hunger
in. Aim ana again i irtea to call
out, but not a word could I utter. How
many hours I remained I do not know
and until I awoke her on the table With
the doctors around m I did not know
whether it waa a week or a month."
Although Cook was missed by the ho
tel people It was thought ha was stay-Ins-
with friends and no particular at
tentlon was paid to his absence. :

One exhibited President Jordan pat
ting Clarke, who was dressed In chil
dren's clothes, upon the head and say
ing: VWell done, faithful servant! Tou

particular sting in this cartoon was the
fact that it had been rumored that
Clarke was on the verge of being asked
to resign because of the lack or vital
ity from which the art department la
said to have suffered under his regime,
and that be only held his position be
cause he accepted the distasteful as
signment of tha chairmanship of the
student affairs committee after Profes
sor Durand resigned. The latter re
fused to continue in office rather than
attempt to carry out Jordan's policies.
