HOW ONE SUBURB HAS GROWN

Lack Of Transportation Has Not Served to
Check the Development Of Massa-
chusetts Avenue Extended.

| More building space is being provided

streets and avenues are being cut through
the woods and carried across the fields.
The knobs and high places are at some
points to be shaved down and the ravines
and hollows are to be filled up. The face
of nature is to be remodeled, and places
made where the population Of a modern
city can live. There is nothing new in all
this. for il has been going OH in all direc-
tons along all the leading thoroughfares
connecting the citys center with the out
lying portions.
The city's population has flowed out all
along these new thoroughfares not merely
with suburban Improvements. but bringing
the compact row Of houses that is so IA
miliar along the city streets. Not all
these new places or additions or extern
sions of the city have houses in rows. for
in number of instances the detached
house, the home standing apart from its
neighbors, surrounded with its own grass
space, is the feature of the new move
ment. so that a great deal Of the new

prevailing color of the houses might be
called 1.-The great white way" Unlike
every other resident section of the city, the
Massachusetts, avenue region in this part
has been developed without the aid of a
street railway. The nearest point to a
street car line is street on the south or
Connecticut avenue on the east, and in
both cases the distance mounts up to
blocks.

The farther west one goes along Massa-

cially Ia the region about Massachusetts
avenue, where the breadth of the space
between the north and south car lines
is 1aich greater than is the case farther
north. The difficulty in providing, in
the older sections OF the city, cross
town lines has resulted in street car
systems which are deficient in that par
ticular. and it may be that the opposi-
ton Of property holders to occupying
resident streets with car lines will
make itself felt also in the development
of the suburbs.

HEALTHIEST

Spokane is the healthiest it has
been in years, according to DR.. M.
B. Grieve, city health officer. In
spite of the reported scarlet fever
epidemic and few cases of diph.
iberia people of Spokane are the
wellest in the city's history. That
scarlet fever outbreak, by the way,
has been cornered and there has
not been a new case In five days.
AS for the diphtheria. it is dis
ease that has always prevailed to
certain extent in early winter and
there are fewer cases this winter
than ever before. November Is
passing without a single case of
smallpox, which is another unusual
condition.

Those are the questions which
are agitating the mind Of a GER
tain well known citizen of Spo-

be of interest to a good many peo-
pie in Spokane.
Here is the incidents which have
caused the hereinbefore stated
questions to crop up in the mind
of this citizen, and under the cir
cumstances he can hardly be
blamed for wondering.
Some time since, this citizen
rented from the Arthur D. Jones
Co. a residence at E2723 Second
avenue, taking a lease thereon for
a term Of years. When he came
to occupy the place he found that
the cesspool had become so filled
with refuse that it overlooked into
his cellar, and the place was in q
dangerously unsanitary condition.
He complained to the Jones COM
pany, and after considerable effort
succeeded in having new cess
pool put in. He found, however,
that even with the new cesspool
he was no better off. for the pool
pit was located somewhat up hill
from the house, and the pipes run
ming to it were so inclined that
when refuse water was run into
them the pipes filled and overflow
ed into the cellar as. before, while
but little of the refuse reached the
pool
Again he complained to the
Jones company, but was calmly in
formed that he had received all
the attention he was going to re-
