Transportation Easier.

Excellent transportation facilities have
had their effect in aiding the movement
1t is possible for man residing twenty
miles from the Union Station to arrive
in forty-tive minutes at his business. The
network of suburban electric lines radiat-
ing in all directions from Washington, as
a hub, has increased wonderfully during
a period of less than a half score years
Constant Improvement in the transporta-
ton facilities offered by steamship lines
plying the Potomac River promise the
opening UP of much river-bank territory
for home-makinS and agricultural in
terests.
There is demand for various kinds
of country property. Large estates are
sought by the wealthy near Washington.
These places are springing into promi-
ncnce throughout the North and South.
The c,uasi-country home. situated within
striking distance from the city, and to
which man can take his family during

for one who may desire to ''piddle" about

No doubt during the panic of 1907 the
low level of country real estate values
was reached. Since then, the rise has
not been at a rapid rate, vet il has
been steady and has attained noticeable

City Realty Booming.
By no means has the sale Of city prop
erty decreased; rather, in this city. it is
on the boom. Yet. when things take on
a crowded aspect it will be necessary
to turn to the outlying sections for the
location Of property. Other cities are ex-
tending into the suburbs rapidly. The
island of Manhattan, in Greater New
York, now houses 2,5OO,O 900 people in a
territory OF less than 1900 acres. The
result is that from . great height in New
York City one can see for miles villages
and hamlets which care for the working
population of that great metropolis
Philadelphia, Chicago, Pittsburg, and
others also have their suburbs covering
a vast area.

The foregoing is an extract from

DRIFT is TOWARD COUNTRY.
The drift of population which has run
strongly for more than a half century
from the country TO the city is now
turning in the opposite direction, in the
opinion Of many real estate men who
have been careful observers of the ex-
isting conditions. Not to end its course
at the limits of the suburbs, but to
race on toward the remote rural districts.
seems to be the tendency.
Various conditions have caused this
movement. One powerful cause is the
ability OF homeseckers to secure, even
in remote districts, modern conveniences.

over this section contain the same mod
