New features In the real estate markcl
during the past week were as scarce at
customers. Tlicro has been no buying In
terest In the market , and dealers In all
grades of property complain of dullness and
Inactivity.
The corner of Fifteenth and Farnam
Btrects , formerly occupied by the Farnani
Street theater , will probably be bought bj
the Boston Ground Rent company within
the next sixty days and leased by the com
pany for ninety-nine years to Mr. Frank
B. Kcnnard of this city , who will , In that
event , erect a building of stores and offices ,
There l some Inquiry for residence prop
erty , but the prices seciA to prospective
purchasers to be too high. A condition ex
ists In Omaha residence districts which can
hardly be found In another city In the coun
try. It Is Imirasslble to locate the first-clase
homes entirely In one vicinity. Strangers
isk where the fine residence neighborhood
Is , and the Inquiry may only be answered by
a general reference to any part of the city.
The south , southwest , west , northwest and
north portions of Omaha all contain some
fine and costly houses , but there Is no one
street In the city which may be , as In
Other cities , called the best. In some par
ticulars this Is detrimental. Visitors looking
over the town out of curiosity ask for a
light of the mansions of the wealthy , and
In order to see any considerable number ol
them a drive of a much greater duration
than is taken for pleasure becomes ncccs-
lary. It Is likely that the system of boule
vards now being laid out and built will
change things In this regard , and that the
near future will sec a radical Improvement
In respect of a fine residence district.
Recent foreclosures have started a discus
sion among secretaries of building and loan
associations as to the advisability of organ
izing a protective association for Omaha so
cieties. The secretaries say that building
and loan associations make mistakes and are
Imposed upon by borrowers with fraudulent
Intent as well as other financial Institutions.
Then again there Is a class of contractors
who overcharge for building and make false
returns on the cost of the work. There Is
also a class of borrowers who go from ono
association to another trying to get a loan
on over valuation. If the secretaries could
form an association to which each could re
port his experience with tricky borrowers
and contractors Immediate good would result
to every society. Omaha societies , however ,
have been carefully conducted and very little
loss has been experienced.
J'LATTK ItlVUIl CAS AIM.
A Matter of IIlRhmt Significance to Omnha
and Nebraska.
Commissioner J. E. Utt , in discussing
the proposed Platte river canal , said yester
day :
"Public opinion , as fully expressed at the
Commercial club by business men and
property holders of the city , Is entirely In
favor of voting the necessary bonds to aid
the Platte canal project. The feasibility of
the canal has been , Investigated by capable ,
conservative persons , many doubting at first
the claim's made bythb promoters.
"As a tax proposition the voting of the
bonds , Instead of being a direct burden , Is
nn economical- measure , because the actual
advance In price of "property will be so great
before , the Interest Is duo that the Increased
assessment will , ' decrease the amount col
lected on the dollar assessed.
"The advance In price means a demand
for real estate , hence holders will bo able
to pay taxes more easily than now ; besides ,
funds will bo released to invest In factories
to utilize the available cheap power. An
Investigator questioned the sufficiency of the
Water supply from the Platte and Elkhorn
rivers. Accurate measurements have demon-
ttratcd an abundant supply at low water
mark. The lack of a better knowledge of
the invisible and mysterious forces of clec-
trlclty led to discussion. It Is now conceded -
ceded that the loss In transmitting electric
power from the Initial point to an extreme
part of the city does' not exceed G per cent.
It was claimed at first by some persons that
It exceeded 25 per cent. It must ba ad
mitted that the Invention and Improvement
In electrical appliances are In their Infancy ,
and based on the ratio of progress for the
last five years , the electrical power now pro
duced by nn Initial horse power ,
water or steam , will In a few years be In
creased several times , so that the 30,000-
horse power assured to begin with may rea
sonably be Increased to 100.000-horso power
without Increasing the water In the canal.
This wou'd ' bo as reasonable to suppose as
Iho Improvement made In steam engines.
A few years ago the slide valve engine used
sixty pounds of water per horse power per
hour. This was reduced to twenty-six
pounds by the double valve , to eighteen
pounds by the double'valvo condensing , and
to twelve pounds bythe triple expansion , an
Increase of BOO per cent In power , the steam
produced remaining } the same. There Is
creator power In plectrlclty than steam ,
therefore , greater possibilities for Improve
ment comparatively. the great canals of
the world that have been put' In operation
have proved particularly fortunate to the
Interests Identified with them. The Erie
canal made New York the center of com
merce and wealth by regulating freight rates
on a low basis between the cast and west.
The Suez canal revolutionized the shipping
of the world , The Manchester canal , built
Bolcly by the money and energy of her citi
zens , has made that city a beaport. The
construction of the Platlo canal will equal In
grand results any of the above great enter
prises , because it will make Omaha ono of
the leading cities of the world. The cost of
the canal Is comparatively a minimum. In
simplicity of construction It Is a large mill
race , conducting the water by easy stages to
nn eminence near the city , giving a fall of
140 feet. .
"A few years ago the factories of this
country were all In the eastern states.
They have flnce moved west , until Chicago ,
B ( , Louis and other Intermediate cities arc
locating numerous boot and choe , Implement ,
woolen and other Industries. The Jobbing
Contois 16911 became manufacturing centers
nlso When prosperity returns promoters of
factorlcj will locate at Missouri river trade
centers , and the manufacturing Interests
will centralize In the Missouri valley , be
cause the physical conditions will prevent
them going further west. Tlio canal , pro
ducing cheap power , will bo the distinctive
feature that will tocuro these coming plants
to Omaha. The crude material is here In
abundance , and the mirk.t at home and wcat.
Another favorable feature Is that of the
$2,500,000 the canal will cost , 11.800,000 will
to expended for labor. On the basis of $1.50
per day 2.000 hands will bo employed dally
during the construction for two years. It Is
not surprlblng that the citizens are anxious
to luvo the undertaking progrctS as rapidly
ftj possible , such great results are guaran
teed. "
IlulhlliiK Interest * .
1 There has never been a time In the hls-
lory of this city when building could be dona
s cheaply as now. A leading brick con
tractor said yesterday that brick men wcro
Doing work for almost any price offered ,
BtockNirlck can be contracted for nnd laid In
the wall for $7 a thousand , and even lees.
M'hcn It Is considered that two and three
fears ago the prevailing price was from $10
( o $12 a thousand for the same class of work ,
the comparison may bo easily appreciated.
All other classes of building trades arc In
the eamo condition. Now Is not only the
Umo to buy , but also to build.
A building permit was Issued Saturday
| o Mr. Wlllam 0. Hamilton for a $7,000
Residence , which be will build on Park ave-
hue.
Joseph Shelby will build three two-story
tnd basement brick flats on California , near

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA.
Newnpnper Carrier lloatnOITa Hlgliwnynmn
with n Htont Club.
James Duncaneon , a newspaper carrier
came near losing all the money he collected
yesterday afternoon while he was walking
by a wooded strip In Albright. A man
stepped out from the trees with a mask
over his face , and , putting a revolver to
Duncanson's face , told him to throw up his
hands. Duncanson had a stout hickory club
In his hands nnd knocked the revolver from
the man's hands , and then as the man struck
htm he hit him with the club and the man
took to the woods.
The man was roughly dressed and the place
where the attempted robbery took place was
a lonely strip of woods with no houses In
sight. _

Friends of Rev. J. M. Patterson , recently
lastor of the First Presbyterian church , will
JQ pleased to learn of the warm reception
endered him on his initial Sunday as pastor
if the Westminster church at Detroit. All
ho papers ; contained long reports of his re-
ieptlon an'd sermon. The following extract
a taken from the Detroit Journal :
Rev. J. M. Patterson , the new pastor of
Vcstmlnster church , preached his initial scr-
non yesterday. His fame as an exponent
if the faith had preceded him and at inorn-
ng and evening services the largo audlto-
ium was crowded from the- platform to the
loors. On the right and left of the rostrum
vero groves of potted plants , and directly
n front of the now minister bunches of
icautlful lilies.
Rev. Mf. Patterson Is a handsome man , of
: ommandlng presence as a speaker. His fig-
ire Is stout and erect , he has the healthy
ippearanco of a trained athlete , his voice Is
leep and well modulated , his gestures easy
ind graceful. He is without a mannerism
if any kind.
Mr. Patterson charmed his hearers yes-
erday. The most Haltering encomiums
vere passed upon him both morning and
svenlng. At each service his 'audience
icemed impressed with the fact that he
vas preaching .with reserved power , no (
lulling forth any extra effort on his first
ippearance. Furthermore , lie Is orthodox
, ccordlng to the standard set up Tiy the-
ihurch , a Prcsbylcrlan In every sense of
he term. In view of the recent discus-
Ion In the general assembly and
mtsldo of It on the question of 'the Insplra-
lon of tlio scripture , It was gratifying to the
onscrvatlve members ; of Wcstmlnste'r church
o have thplr new paslor declare that in
nch page of the blblo he can see the jhand-
vrlllng of omnipotence , Ho declared hlin-
elf , further , a Presbyterian When ho dls-
ilaimed absolute holiness on thU earth and
aid the Umo would never come , probably ,
vhon the Christian would not have his con-
llcls.
Before ho announced his lext In the morn-
ng > Mr. Patterson , stopping tojtha Irani of
ho platform and holding a small copy of
ho scripture In his hand , made a short ad-
Ircss. Ho said that lie was glad to meet
vlth his now flock. , lt was a hard task ,
Ike temporal death almost , to leave a peo-
de among whom he had labored , but he be
loved he was called of God to Detroit , and
10 came to Westminster church to give the
icople all ho was and all ho had to do , his
lest In everything.
The text chosen for the morning sermon
ras the 19th verso of the first chapter of
tolosslans , "For It pleased Ihe Father that
n Him shall all fulness dwell. " He spoke
without notes and without a pulpit. When
ie warms to his subject ho gesticulates freely
nil walks from ono end of Hie platform to
ho other , backward and forward , facing at
ntervals every section of his audience ,
reaching Into the gallery and at the back
icws as well as to tlio worshipers sitting at
ils feet.
Two new features that ) | ad not been ob-
crvcd In the morning were witnessed at
ho evening service , when once more the
iows were filled In every part of the uudi-
orium. After the evening offering Ihe
ilders , wilh the contributions in their hands ,
; athcrocl In a semicircle In front of the plat-
orm , and Die pastor , with hands oxlcnded
ivcr them , offered up special thanks for
; lfts that had been rccelvqd. After the
icncdlctlon had been pronounced , preacher
ml audience still remaining In tlio atll-
udo of prayer , the quartet , rendered a brief
lartlng hymn.
Dr. Patterson will bo formally Inducted
tito tlio pastorate of the church after the
text meeting of the Detroit presbytery , which
dll bo held In a few weeks.
