MARION HAWLEY DUNHAM,

Miss Marion II. Durham, 10. younger
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George l..
Durham, whose critical illness was men,
toned in The Phoenix last Friday, died
in the Memorial hospital little before
| o'clock that day. She was born in
Boston, March 2, 1899. Although not in
vigorous health during the greater part
of her short life, owing to a severe ill
ness in her fifth year, she was never
theless always actively engaged, wheth
err in work or play, and took part in the
social diversions of the children with
whom she was most intimate.
Her early education was obtained at
home through private teachers, but three
years ago she entered the sixth grade
of the public schools of this town and
was just finishing the studies of the
eighth grade at the time of her fatal
illness. She became member of the
Centre Congregational church this spring
and was a faithful and devoted pupil in
one of the classes of the Sunday school
connected with this church. In mis-
sionary and philanthropic undertakings
especially those relating to children, she
took a keen interest. In fact, one OF
her last pieces of handiwork was in
tended as a contribution to the fair tc
be given in the summer in aid of a
seaside home for poor waits from the
city. In love of animals and flowers, In
travel and the sight of new places, and
in the quiet yet varied occupations OF
home life she took rare delight, APP
preciating to the full whatever of beauty
or opportunity fell to her lot.
When taken to the hospital only a few
days before her death to undergo an OPP
Grafton that furnished the sole chance
of saving her life, she was cheerful and
contented, knowing that the best was
being done by those in whom she re-
posed such perfect trust, But in spite
of rare surgical skill, recovery was not
to be. In the midst of the flowers sent
in by loving friends, and surrounded BY
members of the family, her gentle spirit
passed peacefully away, to enter upor
the diviner service of the heavenly
kingdom.
Services in her memory were held al
the home of Mrs. N. I. Hawley Monday
afternoon, Rev. Z. Q. S. Osgood offici-
ating in place of Rev. r. NJ. Houghton
the pastor of the Centre church, who Is
now abroad. Fred G. Adams sang two
selections. The last rites were perform
ed in Morningside cemetery, where the
burial took place. Many were present al
these services, including relatives from
out of town, teachers of the public
schools who had had Marion under theil
charge during her brief stay, and friends
and neighbors who had grown to love
the child whose life was so full of love
and promise.
Besides her parents she leaves one sis
ter, Miss Evelyn Hawley Durham.

HIGHER REALTY VALUES
Advance in Certain Section zoe

By ". z. G. Gaillard.

In the last ten years New York CITY has
shown a gain Of $50 per cent in population,
greater than that Of any other large city IN
the country
There are more manufacturing establish
r,ents more manufacturing capital en-
ployed, and there IS a greater yearly value
of manufactured products in New 1ofk
city than there is in any state In the
Union except Pennsylvania. To-day the as
sessed valuation OF its taxable real estate
is Ss5s si0.I64 an increase since the con-
sohdation Of the boroughs Of s5.s95.7N.ll.

This is especially true Of residential ana
business property IN the Borough OF Man

creased in value N certain sections nearly

southwest corner Of Broadway and !lst
street. which was sold early in the month
ana showed ar advance Of SIS per cent IN
twenty-five years. These large profits arc
staggering, but there Is no reason 70
doubt that within the next ten or fifteen
years the demand for Manhattan Island

OUTLOOK IN THE BRONX
More Activity and Strengthening
of Values Predicted.
BY j. Clarence Davies.

The increase IN population in The Bronx
during the last year has been from 10000 70
5000 While building has not been as active
as in past years. houses have filed up rap
IDLY, ard those completed have been rented
almost before completion.
This has reacted on the business centres,
and merchants are doing better business
arc sales have increased over previous
yea-s
While It is a disappointment 20 real es-
tate interests not 10 have obtained all the
rapid transit which they desired, hope Is
now held forth that the Board Of Estimate
and Apportionment and the Public Service
Commission will complete negotiations so
that the Interborough will be given the
third tracking of its present system and
the extensions so necessary TO develop that
mart Of the borough which is now lacking
in transit facilities.
II this is done a good steady increase
in values and fair demand for property
can be expected, and builders stand ready
to 60 ahead as soon as proper transit Ia
ciltt!es are afforded
The year 1912 in the Borough Of The
Bronx, it is reasonably safe TO say. will
show the usual 10 to 10 per cent increase
In the population. An increase in building
over last year and further strengthening
OF values along the present lines OF transit
with a steadiness and fair demand for
speculative purposes in those sections where
rapid transit has been adopted and will
be built, will also be shown

CONTRACT
LET At RUSTAD
SCHOOL BOARD ACCEPTED BID
OF NELs MELVEY FOR CON-
sTRucTIoN OF CONSOLIDATED
SCHOOL WHICH Is TO BE COM
PLETELY EQUIPPED.

The school board at Rustad held a
meeting this morning and let the con-
tract for the new school building, to
Contractor Nels Melvey of M 0rhead.
who submitted the lowest bid of the
several bids opened a few days ago.
$12,292.
There having been only one bid
submitted for the plumbing and heat
ing. that by Mr.. Thompson of Moor
head, instructions have been given
thai bids be readvertised for.
Louis Miller, one of the members
of the board, says the Rustad con-
solidated school building will be the
finest and most complete building for
it's size in the state. The plans and
specifications were prepared by the
state architect and they will be fol-
lowed closely so that the district will
be able to participate fully in the
state aid fund which is expected to
net sufficient income to offset the cost
of the building to be erected.
The Rustad school building will
have a capacity of four. rooms capa-
BILE of caring for an enrolment of
about 100 children. There will be a
substantial basement under the whole
building with 12-foot posts or
| piers and in addition there will be an
engine room equipped with the best
obtainable gasoline engine to be used
for the pumping of water. .

twelve to fourteen inches apart and
the furrow filled in. Later the ground
on both sides is cultivated again by.
blowing and also a crew cultivates
close to the tres with hoes, keeping
the ground from from weeds, etc. Two
rows of trees are set out On the north
side, the first 100 feet from the track
and the second row seventy-ive feet
farther out, leaving twenty-five feet
more right of way for fire break and
working ground. South of the track
one row is planted It's feet from the
railroad.
AT the end of the second year the
trees are all cut back to within eight
inches of the ground, causing from
ten to fourteen sprouts or shoots to
grow, from each cutting, filling in the
ground between the trees and making
a hedge almost rabbit-proof. In four
or FIVE years after planting, states
Foreman Beals, who formerly was
with the horticultural department of
the North Dakota Agricultural college,
a fine hedge and living snow fence is
obtained which besides being more
economical and always in repair, is
an ornamental addition along the rail-
way right of way.
