History of the Church.

The Western Presbyterian Church was
organized January IS. 1885. and was the
outcome of Sunday School work which
had been conducted for seven years be-
fore this time, first al little house
near the old Naval Observatory and
subsequently at the corner OF Twenty
second and E Streets.
Among those most active in the or
ganization of the church was David NJ
Wilson, then ruling elder in the
Fourth Presbyterian Church OF this
city. In the list of clergymen who were
active in forming the church Were the
Rev John c. Smith. pastor of the
Fourth Presbyterian Church; the Rev.
Byron Sunderland of the First Church.

GROWTH IN THE SUBURBS

The new year opens without activity
in the real estate market, but in circles
most interested the fact does not cause
great disappointment, inasmuch as it
had been largely discounted by those
who had carefully regarded the situa-
ton in tie closing months of 1904. Nor
does the field of building operations
promise much better; at least, inquiry
at the offices of the leading architects
fails to disclose a prospect of much or
important business. With occasional ex-
ccptions it would seem that more will
be done in the way of erecting two and
tnree-story apartment houses in sections
of the city where ground Is compare
can be fixed at moderate figures, than in
any other line of building enterprise.
On Fourteenth Street Road.
It is not improbable that large part
of the activity that may be developed
will be in evidence in the suburban
sections. The extension Of Fourteenth
Street to be begun early IL the spring
is inviting the attention of homeseekers
as well as those inclined to speculation
to lands lying in that vicinity. The as
surance that the Capital Traction lines
will be extended as far as the junction
of Piney Branch Road with Brightwood
Avenue, If not beyond, has received ad-
ditional confirmation by the recent pur-
chase by this company of a large por-
ton of the Saul tract, On which the
car barns of the company are to be To-
GATED after the tracks have been car
ried to the new terminus. With rapid
communication with the center of the
city thus assured there appears TO be
little doubt as to the rapid upbuiiding
OF the section referred to.
Along Chevy Chase Line.
A little farther westward the progress
of the Connecticut Avenue Bridge will
have an important bearing upon the up
building of the territory lying along
and contiguous to the Chevy Chase line
OF railway 1t is understood that about
the time this structure nears compile
ton number of building enterprises
will be inaugurated. Several recent
purchasers of property in that region
are contempla ting the erection of dwell
ings. and other undertakings of more
pretentious character are also talked
of. It is not unlikely, so it is said. that
n1oderate-sized Apartment house may
be erected in the vicinity of Cleveland
Park. accommodations IN which are to
be exceptionally elaborate Plans are
now in course of preparation for a
structure of this kind, and if conditions
are favorable, the undertaking may be
carried out before the close of next sum-
mer. There Is report also that the
Chevy Chase Land Company contem-
plates some further improvements AL

neighbprhood would seem to be good
