Getting to Be a Big CITY.

In all the large cities excepting Chi
cago, it is the custom to estimate the
population from year to year by multi
plying the number of names in the city
directory by 31a. The Chicago multi
plier. we believe, Is only 9. although We
do not know why different rule should
apply to Chicago than to other cities.
The application of the former formula To

Scranton, proper, has about 10000. or.
with the near suburbs included, from
1l5.000 to 10000 A conservative esti-
mate of the actual population within
the boundaries OF the city of Scranton
today would be 10000: and the chances
are that the real figures are beyond
rather than within this estimate
Proof of a marvellous recent growth,
the times considered, may be had by
the simple process of driving through
out the city, and noting the rapid multi
plicatlon Of stores and homes visible in
all directions. Every recent addition to
the city is today hive of house-build-
tng industry; yet despite this vast move
ment Of artisans and professional men
into suburban homes, the demand for
residences in the central portions Of the
city far exceeds the supply. and the
spectacle of vacant home or store IS
famously uncommon. In a period of
comparative commercial stagnation
such a condition caA be accounted for
only on the theory that Scranton's su-
perior advantages are achieving their
natural consequences in the form os a
largely accelerated immigration of
home-seekers.
Now. however, that the business sky
ts tsbrightening, and particularly since the
great iron and steel Industries Of the
city are beginning to feel the new pulse
of commercial revival and are communi-
eating It to their workingmen in the
form Of increased wages, this growth
ought to assume double proportions.
Every sign is auspicious for genuine
boom Of the legitimate and conservative
Stype. Our material resources. already
Recognized as incompatible in this Sec
ion, are being daily supplemented by
Intellectual and artistic resources
known only to large cities; and at the
present pace 1t looks as If 1t would not

1t Is possible that promised represent
