Electric Lines
Develop Country

Travelling on the electric line be-
tween Portland and Salem is rapidly
equaling the anticipations Of the build
ers of the Oregon Electric company's
trolley system, says the Catholic Sent
incl. Along lhe line near to Portland
there is being established community
of small farmers, who are supplying
the city with fruit, vegetables, berries
and other produce in ever increasing
quantities.
Within comparatively short time
the lands available for this class of in
dustry will be completely subdivided
and the large holdings in the hands of
individual farmers will be succeeded
by many small orchards, gardens and
berry fields--each for a home for a
family.
Intensive farming is more and more
employed by the new owners of these
acre tracts. Values of land will in
crease in the next two years to double
the price prevailing at this time, and
es in all other INSTANCES c { electric rail-
road construction, population will flow
a.ong the line of the trolley route.
