bond issue on the property of $4,000, from
the proceeds of which It is proposed to
improve and beautify the property.
George n. Jesse, president of the COM
pany, stated yesterday that a practical
landscape gardener has been employed to
make Rose-Dale Park, aside from its nat
ural advantages, a model home site,

increasing demand for desirable suburb
an homes" he said. "The best evidence of
this is the fact that property which could
have been bought a few years ago on
low acreage valuation, now commands
many dollars a square foot, and is still
going higher. A conservative estimate
Of the rate of increase of values in diff
ferent sections Of the city IN the last
ten years is from 100 to 800 per cent. In
some cases the increase has been more
marked; in few or none has It been less
than 100 per cent. Washington as tht

in the eyes of the whole country The
desire to make it the most beautiful

bought or built themselves homes in

CHESAPEAKE BEACH RAILWAY.
One of the Best PntrOniEed Suburban
Lines Of the District.

The Chesapeake Beach Railway. the
offices OF which are az 1920 New York
avenue, lays claim TO being one of the
best patronized suburban railroad lines
running out OF Washington Paul Y.
Waters. the general manager. says the
road carries on an average 5000 per-
sons to the resort by the side Of Ches-
apeake Bay each day during the regu-
lar season.
Mr.. Waters is really general manager
Of two companies. the Chesapeake Beach
Railway, which owns the road, and the
Chesapeake Beach Hotel Company,
which owns the resort The railroad Is
now run by steam power.
1t was bought few years ago from the
builders by Cleveland parties. with the
avowed purpose OF placing double tracks
upon the roadbed and equipping the line
with electricity. Just as plans were com
pleted for ne project. propositions came
up for the building of branch roads 10
Baltimore. Annapolis. and other points.
and the plans of the company were de-
ferred to await the realization Of some Of
these projects. They are now approach
ing fulfllment. and it is stated to be the
purpose Of the owners OF the property
70 equip it with electricity probably next
year.
The resort at Chesapeake Bay Is To-
Gated on a tract Of 1000 acres, where a
summer city is rapidly growing up SINH
lar in character TO Atlantic City and Cape
May. In time IL will possibly rival those
famous resorts. Apparently all that is
needed is the proper kind Of transporta-
ton facilities between the resort and the
two cities Of Washington and Baltimore.
The town of Chesapeake Beach is in
corporated under the laws Of the State
of Maryland. and 1t already maintains
its own electric lighting plant and water
works. It's mayor and city council. under
the charter, are employees Of the two corr
panies which control the road and the
resort. so that General Manager Waters
IS practically in control of all ends of
the enterprise. He explained this to be
in the interests OF good order at the
resort, and the protection Of his patrons
while visiting the beach. The population
Of Chesapeake Beach this summer is
said to be about 1000 persons.

THE NEXT ELECTfON-Electio
in Phoenix have been coming pretty

to be held at Hot Springs. Ark. next
August There are two candidates for
this delegateship. Fred II. Vofz, Jr.

night referring to the coming struggle
intimateG that it would be a close one
and said that even money was being
bet on the result. Mr. Ball is a ma

colleagues do not think the election is
going to be close at all. They believe
further that the foregoing prognostica-

afflicted with strabismus and they
say still further that the money on Mr..
Ball is now three to one and that the
odds will be increased If necessity re-
