Washington's first city directory
made it's appearance in the Capital
in 1922, a matter of 104 years ago, not
g. long time. easily measured in the
lifetime Of two generations. And yet
such a comparatively short time ago
the city had a population of but
$4,000. of which 9,606 were whites
and the rest colored, free and slaves.
1t may be interesting to note that
at that time Detroit had a population
of but 1,422, Baltimore 62,731,
Buffalo, 1000, and many Southern
cities, 1000 to 800, while Chicago and
the Middle Western cities of import
today had not been founded-mere
trading posts.
With her $4,000 people, Washington
had four banks, or one bank to every
1880 people-white, slave and free
colored.
During the century interim banks
did not increase numerically In any
thing like the ratio prevalent at that
time, else would we have had four
times as many banks as we have
today-and the banking fraternity
holds that there are more than
enough institutions for the business
requirements now.

City Incorporated.
Washington was an incorporated
city back in 1922, divided into six
wards. and officered by a mayor. regis
ter, clerk to the mayor and many
minor officers. with aldermen and a
common council, just like Chicago or
some other big town. They had a
board of guardians for the poor. q
board Of health, with 2 members from
each ward, q board of appeal Of
members, commissioners for building

New Roads in 1925

New York.-Motorists will have
about $500 more miles Of concrete
road to travel over during 1926 than
they had in 1925. Added to the 81, 100
miles built in previous years, there
are now approximately 1880 miles
of concrete on the highways in the
United States outside limits OF incor-
porated cities and villages
The building of $500 miles of con-
crete highway in single year estab-
fishes a new record and along with
the improvement of many other miles
of gravel and grading was no small
job for the road builders. It involved
the use of tremendous quantities of
materials and the employment OF a
great army Of workers.
A feature of the last years high
way construction activities was the
efforts of the road builders to ineon-
venience the motorists as little as
possible. In every way the policies
Of the state highway departments
were to serve the highway user.
More attention was paid to detours
around construction jobs. They were
kept in good condition and were care
fully marked SO that the motOrist
could reach his destination with the
least inconvenience.

STUDY PUEBLO
PAGAN ANNALS
Seek Light on Early Francis
can Martyrs.

Santa Fe, N. M.-Brothers Of the
Franciscan order of the Roman Cath
Ollie church in the Southwest are pre-
serving the traditions Of their or
ganization which arose from the mar
tyrdom of priests who passed CEN
turtles In the conversion of the Pueblo
Indians from their pagan beliefs to
Christianity.
Much research work Is being done
by scholars to bring to light the facts
Of the spiritual conquest of the Pueb-
los, which they believe to be one OF
the most colorful pages Of the history
of the Americas.
Father Theodocius Meyer, after
considerable study in the archives of
the mission at Santa Barbara, CAL.
has compiled list Of 81 members of
the order who gave their lives in the
period from 1912 to 1898.
The result of this search contrasts
the religious brothers with the proud
conquistador, the one for the prize
of mystical gold and gems. the other
for the prize of human souls.
The history of the Christlanization
of the Indians showed that there
were waves Of persecution of the
priests at intervals OF 40 or so, years
throughout nearly two centuries.
They reached their climax in 1880,
when the Pueblo Indians rose in re-
bellion against the tyranny of the
Spanish rule, and killed nearly every
white man in New Mexico. BY pre-
arranged plot, 81 missionaries in a
score Of pueblos. many of them 100
or more miles apart. were killed on
one day.
