Remarkable Endurance

Last fall, as a party of bear hun ters were going up the river, a lit- tie dog, the brother of Harry Cart ley's 'Mowgli, was lost at Cot toawood Island. Search was made for the little fellow but without results, and he was given up as lost. The incident was practically forgotten, until Little Andrew came to town last Thursday from up river, with the dog in his canoe, which he had found that morning while passing by Cottonwood Is- land. How the little fellow had managed to live through the winter is a mystery, as he is hardly large enough to tackle anything bigger than a rabbit, but there he was alive and well, and mighty glad to find a man again.

Another "Pote" In Town

A very touching incident occurred at the cable office Sunday morning, when Mac" disappointed, not in loves but in fishing, sold his outfit to ,t.Wireless" Johnston. The in- cident was brought to our attention by the following pome." Just who is the author of the touching lines it were hard to say, Bobby Burns pleads not guilty, and Tom Moore is out of town, so we will have to attribute them to either Longfellow or Tennyson as they are of too "laureatey" a brand to come from a lowlier pen.

Greater Central Fourth fleDe Pnchore Sales OF
D7reiing Houses N Choice Read ntiai Districts.

rarfs have been predicting a broadening Of the
market ror central Fourth avenue properties The
trading last week indicated that their predictions
are well founded. Il was learned in the week that
the well known publishing house Of Dodd Mead *
Co.. which for many years has occupied part OF
tie building the northwest corner of S5Jh street
ana Fifth avenue. had purchased a plot at the
northeast corner Of 30th street and Fourth avenue
Many brokerage houses think that other large con-
Germs well proba5ly soon follow the publishing
house into the Fourth avenue zone
To the majority of real estate investors and op-
er7fors there appears to be much work 70 be done
m The central Fourth avenue district and to these
same persons there are seemingly unlimited oppor-
tunities there for profitable investments The sec
1ion has been neglected for many years oE nearly
all Of the big construction companies. and the num-
her of operators who have been astive there in re-
cent years could be quickly counted.
The reason the district has been overlooked N
the last few years and has not been Transformed
into one Of the leading retail and wholesale dis
t~iO+s Of the city difficult TO learn In the
last nine years the realty trading on Manhattan
Island and in The Bronx has been largely shapeo
by the various tunnel projects and many rapid
transit improvements which have been planned or
carried out
In that time most Of the various districts Of the
crv with the exception Of the central Fourth ave
nue.. the Greenwich Village zone and the central
Fast Side tenement house section. have been the
scenes IF big purchasing movements. which re-
suited in the creation of various types Of stronger
residential and business centres If the numbers
Of investors speculators and operators were larger
and the money channels affecting real estate oper-
ations on Manhattan Island and in The Bronx were
wider and deeper il is likely that the construction
work done in the period mentioned would have
been many times greater.
There have been so many eliuring investment ana
speculative zones in this space of years that the
majority Of investors and speculators have unln-
tentionaIIy overlooked the central Fourth avenue

with the great real estate market of this city was
apparently bending his energy to the development
Of the vacant land regions in the northeriy sec

flied by the subway. In those years operators
active il acquiring properties
JUST BEFORE THE SUBWAY BOOM
It was in those days that the late Charles 7.
Barney was preparing the way for many specula-
tive builders and small army OF operators which
became identified with the northerly sections about
the time Of the opening Of the subway. There IS
no doubt that MI Barney, in spite of all the haWs
alleged to have been discovered in his plans Of
operations was one Of the realty leaders whose
New-York tribune., 1909-01-17

work greatly added the realty strength Of the
greater city. It Is said that he invaded too early
the upper districts and that he was compelled TO
sacrifice many large holdings in those sections
when the subway boom in its initial stages
TO persons who quickly resold the properties and
practically became the possessor Of the profits
which should have been gained by Mr.. Barney
because Of his leadership
To Mr.. Barney there other real estate
market to compare in strength and in everything
else which goes TO make UP the perfect base for
realty values as New York. He apparently could
foresee way into the future and the wonderful
pictures which he drew in those DAYS of the rapid
transformation of the upper zones as soon as they
brought within the subway area are not de
scribed mental pictures, but actualities.
II was easy then to refer him dreamer.
but much OF the praise for the rapid development
of the northerly residential will undoubtedly
be placed to his credit when a complete history of
the phenomenal purchasing and building move
rnent from 1sl4 TO 1906 is written.
the time when Mr.. Barney busy adding
TO his realty holdings Washington Heights the
New York Realty Corporation which comprised
three Of the big realty leaders-namely. Albert
Flake, Robert Z. Dowling and Bradish Johnson
active in the central Fifth avenue district.
It was that corporation which furnished almost
weekly the principal transactions perfected in that
great section Of the city. The operations Of the
company pre-eminently successful, and yet
that phrase hardly describes the great measure
OF it's success in the avenue. For some months
this great thoroughfare- II was he who formed
the Barney Sheldon syndicate. which took over
the old Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum site, in
the block bounded by 5lst and 52d streets, Fifth
and Madison avenues. and the property owned by
the asylum east OF Madison avenue The greater
part the asylum tract was disposed of by the
syndicate the New York Realty Corporation.
and it, in turn. found ready buyers at a large ad
vance for the plots it owned.
There then inkling that the Pennsylvania
and the Long Island railroad companies intended
link the Long Island. Manhattan and Jersey
shores with series OF tunnel tubes, that the
Hudson & Manhattan Railroad Company would
help to enlarge the Sixth avenue retail shopping
centre by connecting that with tunnel route
TO New Jersey would build a tunnel line con-
meeting the downtown district Of Manhattan ISL
and with Jersey City. Newark and many miles Of
suburban area in New Jersey. Nor there
any signs plainly visible then a few years

come OF the greatest retail shopping centres in
the world.
