Growth of Washington.

1.-THE rapid growth of the state of
Washington in the last 10 years serves
to indicate how attractive this state
has become to the homeseeker and the
home. builder. In 1900 the population
of the state was 100000; today we
have population of 1850, 600, while
the total assessed value of all property
has increasd from $3.50, 900, 600 to $780,,
600, 600. There are now $50, 600 acres

all cultivated by any means, and there
are now projects projected that will
give water to 800, 600 acres more, 327,
600 acres of which will come under
government projects. The irrigable
lands are not confined to the Wenat-

Street Names as Memorials.

In Paris. where one may visit the
Street of the Fourth of September, it
will be possible presently to traverse
also the Street of Edward VII. BY des-
ignation in the latter instance France
will honor a late great and good Eng
1ish friend: in the other case the be-
ginning after Sedan is conmenorated
of the present republic. Considering
the array of New York streets and
avenues running to arithnetica1 terms,
we are reminded how far we have neg
1ected memorial opportunities in the
naming of our. thoroughfares.
Certainly we have honored Wash
ington in New York--Severaf times, in
deed in the several boroughs We
have Lafayette in street and avenue.
and did have him in boulevard till RiV-
ersside Drive was extended A few 9TH
err names we have remembered of men
great in state or nation These arc
perpetuations, too, OF the names Of
old local families. But where is our
pendence? Where our boulevard of the
Fourth of July? Where our Street of
the Surrender of Yorktown and our
Place of the Emancipation Proclama-
ton?
In the absence of such historic des-
ignations for important thoroughfares
is real metropolitan deficiency. New
er New York offers abundant chance TO
remove the fault But instead of suS-
gestions to this end we have a change
of name for fine old Long Acre square,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A Unique Situation.

Mr.. Editor: 1t is very patent, at the
present time, that Norwich is without
an adequate water supply, although 1t
has a Water street. where one can get
all the quench- rhirst-such as it is
that ne may desire and enough to sup
ply ali the bath tubs besides.
But Water street is to be a back
number. We are soon to have seven
bathing places huddled together on a
very short street that leads directly
to the square on which stand the Otis
library the Z. NJ. q. A, the Temple Of
Justice and the Central Baptist and
the Broadway churches
For many years the thoroughfare
was wrongly called Bath street Gas far
as human beings were concerned), but.
perhaps the old city fathers had q
vision of Norwich as it would be in
1911 when they gave the street that
name.
So everything is now being made to
match the name. Why have a Bath
street, if you can't take a public bath
there? Battle on the outside to cure
rulnatiz and battle the in'ards to stop
the palpitation of the heart. Pure New
England rum for the former, ana Old
Kentucky Rye for the latter!
You know this was a favorite allo-
pathic treatment of some of the most
notable Norwich fathers who are now
drinking at the fountain OF life, we
hope. ADAMS ale, too, was pure. then
anu ildu no dug IltetupN Sti JUS III IT,
Would that q camera could take IN
the whole situation, true 10 life, as a
moving picture!
These bathing places are to be under
the protection of the police and every
citizen who votes for license.
But under what protection viii eV-
cry dear mothers child he while on the
way to the library the Y. Nj. c. A,
and the churches ?" You ask.
Why that's plain enough. AS if by
a good Providence a proper provision
has been made for that predicament by
locating the Salvation Army barracks
on the street just before it's junction
with Union square And why shouldn't
valiant army be in the thickest of the
fight?
All things are ordered well, you see.
Cleanliness is next to sodliness.' You
know; and what could be closer2 Get
the first at the seveps bathing houses
and for the second then get an intro
duction through the Salvation Army to
| the good Influences on Union square.
Evil spirits may enter one at one
| end of the street but the Salvation
Army can drive 'cn out at the other
| end, and then one can do work mete
! for repentance: and the first work
should be to vote for no-iicense and dc
| ones bathing in a bath tub as soon as
| the artesian wells at Bog meadow will
| allow it.
