prised to observe the magnitude of the
various individual and collective improve
ments that came under my observation.
Increase of Homes.
From far beyond Aqueduct bridge on
the west to and in the vicinity of Hyatts-
vile on the east; from Silver Spring on
the north to Congress Heights and Alex
andria on the south. it is a succession OF
individual home building, street and new
subdivision openings and improvements in
general forming an aggregate entirety of
suburban development which means much
or the city's future development; fill
ing up of space in the immediate circuit
of the suburbs and an extension of the
outer limits 10 make room for the 100000
population which is soon. and much soon
er than many of us anticipate, to be our
next h:gh-water mark
Il included the southern shore of the
Potomac in my tour for the reason that
all of this large and advantageously stu
ated territory Is properly tributary to TINS
city, and that a very heavy percentage o.
his population is either directly or In
directly interested in the capital by reason
of employment therein or by drawing
upon us for supplies and other things
Hence while we do not lay claim to this
tributary territory in the sense of In
creased population. we may properly do
so as source of income apd the sup
plying of the greater part of their wants.
And while the more marked develop
ment is discernible in the northwestern
section Of the suburbs, by reason of the
trend of the city's growth in that direc-
ton. 1t must not be supposed that the re-
naming portions of the suburban circuit
are not keeping proportionate strides
Therefore suburban property in all parts
of this circuit is a good buying PROPOSE
ton The intending purchaser finds at
The very threshold of the city chance
for home, whether he can afford to pay
but few hundred dollars for a lot on
his own terms or thousands in cash for
site for a mansion.
This happy combination of suburban
opportunities does not exist in all cities.
In many the modest homeseeker must
ride far away from his business before
he may ind suitable lot according TO
his means
Better Transportation Facilities.
suburban transport alton facilities have
greatly improved within the past five
years, but much more energetic effort
should be devoted to this highly impor-
tant local question than at present OBJ
tains, and all realty operators are more
than willing 10 cooperate with suburban
jewellers To bring about improvements
In this direction. This is a matter which
should be pushed 10 the fore and main
tainsd there. The addition of the new
cars to the Georgetown and Rockville line
is one step, but it is "a gratifying one and
one to be emulated in other portions of
the suburban circuit. 1t is q problem
which is susceptible of solution, and ii is
undeniable that suburban development

very largely upon this now much mooted

Still these improvements cannot be
worked out in q day. That they have
been started means to the suburban buyer

make his selections. for with each trans

the Preservation OF American Forests;
Vigorous Effort to Extend Our National Reserves

three states can never regain their
lead or even maintain the standing
they have
States not thought OF IN former
years for their hard woods are now
turning out considerable quantities.
Maine, with a cut of $4,000 900 feet In
1899 went to 100000 in 1906 New
Hampshire turned out 10000, 900 in
1905 as against 23,o0o.000 in 1899.
Even oregon Montana and other west
ern states came into the list with un-
expected amounts. In all OF the states
west of the Mississippi valley the sup
ply is small and can never become
much of factor.
''rhe largest estimate for standing
hard woods Is 100000. 900 900 feet.
Enormous quantities are required each
year for railroad ties, telephone and
other poles, piles, fenceposts and fuel,
and a great amount is wasted in lum-
bering and manufacture. The forest
service experts say that II is not eS-
travagsnt to put the hardwood cut at
25, 900, 900 900 feet yearly. At this rate
the present standing supply will be OK
hausted in sixteen years"
Approaching Extinction.
Most wonderful OF all Is the fact that
since the slaughter of the American
forests began no native species has
disappeared entirely. The experts who
have been making the investigation
ordered by the last congress report
that black walnut is nearly exhausted.
The extent to which this noble Amerl-
can wood has been sacrificed can hard
ly be appreciated. The investigators
found many rail fences and in some
places barns and stables built of hixh
grade walnut. Cherry is another
American hard wood that is nearly eS-
tinct. No large tracts OF either wal
nut or cherry remain in the country.
The following extract from the re-
port to congress sets forth the most
logical reason for the further safe
fore it shall forever be too late;
National forests are made, first of
all. for the lasting benefit of the real
home builder. They make it impossi-
BILE for the land to be skinned. They
benefit the man with a homo and the
man who seeks to build one by insur-
ing protection and wise use of the tim
Der and grass and by conserving tho
water In considering what national
forests are for and how they affect
the resources OF the mountains the
fact should never be lost sight of that
they are for the home builder first and
that their resources are protected and
used for his special welfare before
| everything else
