Thiemny h o true to n vary anall degree iu Omnhn , but the rent cause must ho looked far in ' another direction , iln our opinion it trill bo found iii thio real estate boom of the past year. The f avorable terms open which the heat } ! ranloatate owners have offered their lots to tlno working class has inn ginnted n I system eE savings , Thin has to a grout degree trod up n largo amount. of money in real estate which otherwise would ho in circulaiiot. Thousands of suburban lots barn boat sell for a small cash payment , tlno balance to ho paid in in eGmllmeils of lac or fifteen dollars a month , fl'ho largo uumbar of worlingmen and people of limited manna generally who have thus mass n start toward acquiring homes me spending vary little moray for luxuries of any kind. In many instances , no doubt , -oven the nxponaoa for the n ecessaries of life arc befog slightly cur tailed. Every cent is being saved by these people and applied on lots which Choy hnvo purchased , and upon which t hey are building small but eanfortablo ! mouses. This state of affairs , of course , h as its affect upon the retail dealers. While it may put them somewhat at n disadrnntago for the time befog , it fa mc aaninblq a great thing for the future of Omaha , It Anchors thousands of wtrk- ingmet in this community , and makes than substantial citizens. They are making ovary effort to reduce thin indebtedness on their newly purchased property , so that in n short time they can call it their own. It e ncourages anon to take adoopor interest in tlso welfare of the city. Many of the Omaha workingman already have com tortablo homes entirely paid for. This class are now acquiring additional properc ty , upon which they are erecting small houses for rant- They , too , are taking arlvnntago of the coal estate boom , and hope by judicious investments to realize h andsomely , as they undoubtedly will. This almost universal movement on the part of Omaha workingman and shows that they are a flogsl and in duatrious close , who are the backbone of tits city. In a vary short time n tnajori ty of them will own houses of their-own , and kayo no rent to pay. Then they will bo nblo to lira more comfortably and m ore iudopondontly. The ( nigh rants which have prevailed in Omaha far } once have been a great obatadlo for poor pco pia to overcome. High rants have corn- polled thonin to sock some comedy against the burden , and they have found it in t he advantageous olCore thrown upon the market by coal estate nloim Tl a raises the question whether rants trill maintain - tain their upward tendency- The probability is that they trill , for Omaha will next year , and for yentas to coma , continue to grow rapidly. It f ollows , therefore , that all who now soT fc c ure hones or put money in coal estate w ill reap n handsome profit. Another evidence of the saving habi t that is being acquired by workingmen mon and tvanon is time fact that the Omaha Savings batik , an institutio n ! mars ! } a year old , has already deposits amounting in the nggrognto to ot o r $600,000.

The grasses are-more nutritious , and'retain tlwao qualities in winter better - ter , while cold weather at the altitude in which the parks are situate , seems to affect fect cattle less injuriously than it does upon time lower altitude of the plains. Cattle in the parka have never been af- f ected with contagious or epidemic die- of any character , and the percent- ageof lose is extremely low. The expense of herding and wintering a large herd of cattle , say 1000 is from $1,25 to $1,50 for each head wintered , One herder in summer and two in win- ter are required for each 2,000 head of c attle , and their wages and board amount t about $400 per annum each. Two lmundroa tone of ha for each 1,000 hand is an extravagant provision , and the cost of puffing [ it up should not exceed . , . , per ton , This makes the total coat of kee iug 1,000 bond of cattle less than $1,200 n year.
