ALTERS FROM FARM
INTO A REAL CITY
Southern Part of Town is Ex-
perienCing an Influx of
Population.
MOVE HAS BEEN STEADY
LINE OF HANDSOME HOMES
HAS BEEN EXTENDED.

In the general movement OF popu-
lation of the city eastward TO the high
bench land the movement southwark
has been almost forgotten. yet the ex-
tension of the city in that direction
has been practically as great and has
been accomplished practically without
any blare Of trumpets or advertise
ment such as has been exhibited by
promoters OF other sections. The
move of the business district south
ward has been easily discernible. The
district formerly devoted to residences
extending from Fourth South street
to Sixth or Seventh South has been
turned into a strictly business locality.
With this extension there has also
been an extension of the residence dis
trict southwark along Main street.
State street, West Temple and. I'm fact,
along all of the streets as far as
Twelfth South street.
A visit to the locality bounded
roughly by Ninth and Eleventh South
streets and West Temple and Ninth
East streets discloses that within q few
years the entire locality has been
changed from a farming community
to a city. The property is not suburb
an in the strict sense, since It is real
extension OF the city southwark. and
the line OF handsome residences has
been extended. for a distance of a
number of blocks out into what was
only recently real farming land. Along
Eleventh South. especially i'm the VI
cinity Of Ninth East street, are many
residences of a type which would be
in keeping with the importance of
South Temple street or the best sec
tons of First and Second South
streets or the streets on the east
bench. Residences costing $4,000 and
upwards are common in some sections,
and there is a general air Of pros
perity noticeable. which indicates
something of the manner in which the
city Is growing and the citizens are
making fortunes for themselves.
Additions On the Market.
The movement has been hampered
somewhat by the fact that many own
ers Of property along the principal
streets leading to the south have held
their property at prohibitive figures
for investment, so that there are a
few large spaces which have never
been utilized for residence purposes.
Numerous additions have been placed
on the market, however, with
in a year or two by enterprising
realty dealers. and the remaining
spaces are now being taken over for
Improvement. Within a few weeks
practically the only remaining addi-
ton between West Temple and Elev-
enth East streets and north OF
Twelfth South street will have been
plated and placed on the market
There is also a noticeable difference
in prices charged for property imme-
diately south Of the city and the
ground nearer the east bench. Lots
which sell for $3.50 or $500 on the
bench are sold for 5000 and $3.50
That they are really more valuable

MAN THOUGHT DEAD
IS VERY MUCH ALIVE
Indicted PittSburg Millionaire
Is Discovered in
France.

PittsburE, June 5.-The startling
declaration that Dallas c Byexs. null
ti-millionaire steel manufacturer and
indicted CRATER. who was supposed to
have died In France last August and
whose funeral was held in this city
months ago. is really alive and enjoy
ing life in a secluded French village,
was made here recently.
A. Leo We'll, president Of the Pitts
burg Voters League. which has
pushed the councilmanic bribery In
vestigation, says that reports Of his
detectives in France and Switzerland
prove this absolutely.
Among the facts which, lend color
to the report are:
Byers turned mis- vast holdings OF
stocks. bonds and real estate into cash
before slipping away from Pittsburg
and The bribery investigation, realiz-
ing something like $14,00O.0OO.
He left directions for the distribu-
don OF his remaining realty among
relatives. making il unnecessary for
him 10 leave a will.
He permitted all his life insurance
policies to lapse, fearing, It is said,
the searching investigation which the
companies would make when he was
ready to die"
No one in Pittsburg saw the body
over which services were held and
which was buried with due honors in
a Pittsburg cemetery. The casket
was tightly sealed in France
IL was not long after his flight from
Pittsburg that dispatches were re-
ceived from Dinard, France, stating
that the steel millionaire had suffered
a stroke OF apOplexy. August % word
came that he had died Suspicion of
relatives was aroused. and a hint
dropped to the Voters league, and
detectives we're put to work in France.
Mrs. Il. NJ. Byers and her daughter,
Mrs. j. ID. Lyons. are now IN Europe,
and detectives are trailing them In
the hope of discovering Byers' hiding
place.
Byers was Indicted for using a
large sum Of money to bride council
men 20 vacate a street which the BY
ers Steel company needed for its
plant. Until he fled to Europe he was
one OF Pittsburg's richest and most
highly regarded citizens. belonging 70
many clubs and took an active part
in social life.

goes without saying. Car lines have
already been built and passengers are
carried through the district. to sugar
House, to the Country club. to Murray
and to Wandamere. City water is
available. There are sewers and gas
and in many cases electric lights and
telephones already at hand. The
tracts are close in, according to the
true meaning of the term, and form
merely the outskirts OF the residence
district
There is a prevailing opinion that
the ground to the south Of the city
is low. That il is lower than the
bench is true. Much of the land, how
ever, is higher than that near Fourth
South, and the land about Eleventh
South is especially high and desirable
for home sites. The recent movement
to bring into the city the new addi-
tons south Of the business district has
called attention to the large popula-
ton which Is located there The SUI
gar House district has developed
greatly. Waterloo has been found to
contain a rapidly increasing number
of people, and other sections there
have also become thickly settled. New
school houses have been erected in
different sections. and the localities
are in many cases just as important
adJunctS OF the cityS residence sec
tons as are South Temple street or
other well known localities.
Sales Have Increased.
The paving of West Temple street
to Ninth South street, and the maca-
damizing Of State street. have caused
a tremendous movement southwark. 1t
is a noticeable fact that the number
Of sales along Ninth East street have
increased enormously since the work
Of paving that street was commenced
Plans have been made for placing on
the market in the near future a num-
Der of new additions bordering on
Seventh East street. in the vicinity of
Tenth South and Eleventh South
streets. The paving of Eleventh South
street has caused a movement of prop
erty along that street also. In all of
these cases the improvements have
followed the construction Of city inn
provements, instead of anticipating
them, as has been the case with prop
erty on the east bench. The changes
In the section south Of the city have
been less Noticeable, perhaps, than on
the east bench. because they were not
so apparent as are the opening of new
additions along Thirteenth East
street. There has been a tremendous
activity there, however. especially in
filling up the vacancies which were
left between the more thickly settled
localities.

SOUTH DAKOTA FARMERS
STRONG FOR THE AUTO

In Iowa more farmers own automo-
biles than in any other state. but the
national reputation for this will soon
pass on to the credit OF south Dakota.
That state has the greatest automobile
future of any state in the country"
SO declares II. A. Wstmore Of Sioux
city. Mr.. wctmore is credited with
having sold more automobiles to Iowa
farmers than any other man in the
western part OF the Hawkeye COM
monwealth.
south Dakota is destined to become
great automobile sales country, 50
to speak. for the reason that South
Dakota farmers are rapidly getting
wealthy. and they have long distances
to travel across country.
within the last three years their
land has doubled in value; moreover,
crops have been tremendous.
People in Iowa are so well satisfied
with the HudsOns they are actually
telling me they hope the 1911 car will
be identical with the 1910 in style
and Design, as well as in other feat
ures"

boys administered 10 the Gotham lads.
As one ST. Ignatius player expressed it,
The Philadelphia Enquirer IS paying the
bill. and were having the fun. so what
do we care il We do get lieked?"
There was plenty Of Cornell enthusiasm
yesterday, and not once was a man on
the local team leered or hooted. Mana
ger Cornell said he didn't know he had
so many friends in baseball in Wash

The total attendance was near the ] 100
mark. but there were Los paid admis-
sions. which netted the Cornell team

As for as baseball history goes there

Triple plays happen ever and anon, and
there have even been unassisted triple
plays. but there was just one quadruple
play. and there may never be another.
Under the rules now governing base
