C0NNER'S LETTER
CONTINUED From Page 81

continued From Page 81
Figuring the question of population
more closely it appears that S2,S23
persons live within a thousand fee.
of the boundaries of the block which
it is proposed to acquire. They are
huddled in at an average Of nearly
700 to the acre and are becoming more
and more crowded as the new thor
oughfare to the Williamsburg bridge
draws an increasing number of per-
sons into the territory north of De-
lancey street. For many blocks on
either side the average is upward Of
$50 persons for every acre of land.
One of the most unique suggestions
ever made by civic body is con-
tanned in the annual report just made
by the Charity Organization society,"
1t is that the influx of population to
the city be arbitrarily limited to the
end that rents may be decreased from
the prevailing high rate which is
characterized as an almost impossi-
BILE burden upon the laboring classes.
This recommendation is made, too, IN
the face of the statement of the So
ciety that so great has been the de-
mand for employment in all organized
trades and so general for unskilled
labor that the distress which can be
attributed to the non-employed is al
most negligible quantity. The organi-
zation still has large number of
families under it's care in which desti-
| tuition is due to illness and to other
causes not Industrial. The work done
| in aiding families has been less this
winter than in the winter before al
though it was heavier in the summer
of 1906 than it was in the correspond
ing season of the previous year. "In
the experience of charitable agen-
cies," continues the report" the most
striking phenomena of the last year
has been the persistent increase in
the rents of tenements. Notwith-
standing the recent construction of an
unprecedented number of tenements,
it would seem that the insufficiency
of means of travel, the great volume
of immigration and the inflow of pop.
ulation from other communities, have
been more than sufficient to counter
act the increased accommodations
The social attraction in the crowded
districts are sufficient to permit rents
to mount still higher before those who
feel their fascination are ready to re.
linquish them in favor of lower rates
at distance"
A recent investigation shows that
the city's population is now increasing

ACROSS AERICA.

Out of Africa, said the ancient sage, there is
always coming something new. Men not yet OLD
remember the sensation which was caused by
Cameron's tramp across the Dark Continent
Now we are within measurable distance OF
railroad across it, with parlOr and sleeping cars,
special rates for tourists and stop-Over priv
fieges at Victoria Falls. There is nothing more
extravagant in fiction or romance than that the
generation which knew Livingstone and which
heard with thrilling hearts of Stanley's rescue
of that prince of explorers should see a railroad
driven through the very wilderness IN which he
wandered and was lost, and trainloads of tour
lists gazing at those Victoria Falls, in the very
existence of which the world so cordially disbe-
Ueyed when he first reported their unique won
ders.
The moving incentive to the enterprise is the
Gafri sGcra fameS-and cupri sGcrG flames, too.
There are rich deposits of gold and copper in
Katanga, at the extreme southeast Of the Congo
State That means the very heart Of the Dark
Continent. Therefore it is proposed and some
thing more than proposed, to build railroads to
Katapea from the Atlantic littoral At the pres
emf time there is q railroad from Lobito Bay
and Benguela, in Angola, as far as Bihe From
the latter place an extension is under construc-
ton along the watershed between the Zambesi
and Congo systems clear up to Ruwe. in ka-
tanga, at Just about the centre Of the continent
Also from Ruwe eastward TO kamDove ana
thence southwark TO Kanshansi another road is
projected, while one is now almost completed from
Kanshansi down to Broken Hill From Broken
Hill a railroad is now in operation TO Living
stone Victoria Falis), Bulawayo, Salisbury and
Beira on the Indian Ocean. Thus only about a
thousand miles of construction are necessary to
complete a line clear across Africa, traversng
Portuguese West Africa, British Central Africa,
the Congo State, British Central Africa again
and Portuguese East Africa.
Half a dozen years more will probably see
this line completed and in operation. How rich
the gold and copper mines Of Katanga may
prove TO be remains to be SEEN The probability
is that they will not disappoint their exploit
ers Apart from them, however, the road will
be of incalculable interest and Importance in
developing the resources of Africa and In open
ing that continent to civilization. Already
there is a railroad up from Cape Town to this
transcontnental line. and IL is being pushed on
northward toward the Mediterranean, so that
presently the continent will be traversed by two
great lines, one north and south and one east
and west And when these are completed there
