Omaha real estate men were asked during the last week to briefly express their opln tons on the outlook In Omuha, with especial regard to the desirability of Omaha prop erty for Investment purposes. It was to bo expected that the men who are most Inter csted would take a cheerful vlow of what Is generally admitted to be an encouraging outlook, but unanimity of the opinions Is certainly remarkably. Hero Is what they say: A. P. Tukoy, Hoard of Trado Building The real estate market Is healthy and rea sonably active. People havo begun to renl Izo that prices have been very low for severai years nnd that thero Is a sharp up ward turn for higher prices on nil wel located properties. It Is ttmo for all to accept ot the precent conditions and mako deals nt higher values nnd thus bring prices back to a normal condition. In the matter of low-priced residences I have never seen in fifteen yenrs of buslucss n greater number of people who are ready to purchase homes of this kind, provided location Is good and property reasonable in price. Tho time Is rlpo for somo man to build some Blx-rnom houses, with modern convenances savo furnace, on lots milll clcntly large, and some money can be made by tho operation. S. A. Broadwell of Hall & Hroadwell There ore n good many Inquiries for prop erty, hut wc find It difficult to deliver it at tho prices which prevailed a year or two ago. Hicro is uo doubt hut thero has been an 'advanco In values. Owners who were holding their renl estate at a loss nro now getting good returns from rentals and as tho property is proving productive they nre not as anxious to sell. Rents are advancing and doslrublo rental properties of all do scrlptlons arc In demand, W. II. Green, president of Reul Estate Lxchunge There 13 no question hut what small properties aro selling more rendily now than nt any time since the boom. think that tho prevailing Jow prices nre better for, all concerned and tend to pro mote u. steady, substantial growth. A larger percentage of sales are being mado for spot cash now than at any tltno since J. H. Parrottc I think that tho outlook for reul estate Is Improving all the time. hlle the prices on property have not ad vanced much there seems to bo a firmer feeling. Thero ure a good many houses Doing built, but still thero Is a great demand for rentnl property, I could rent twenty-fivo Iioubcs to good tennnts nt good prices If I had them. W. 11, Gates Things uro looking better In realty. I havo been talking, trying to think this snmo thing for several years past, but wo have not experienced or felt such healthy conditions as wo have Just now. Those people who nro looking for snaps had better stop looking nnd do business. C. C. Shlmcr of Shlmer & Chase Spring business has been very good so fnr. Prop erty taken on mortgages und put on the market a few years ago, at very low prices, has hein almost all closed out, nnd thu prices of other property are about tho tamo as two years ago. A complete, up-to-dutc, neat house can bo purchased at "about" as low a price today as over. Resi dence property valued at from $1,000 to $3,500 can yet be purchased on a basis that will net 7 to 0 per cent above taxes, In surance and repairs. Thero are fewer va cant houses In Omaha today than at any time In 'en years, not excepting exposition year, resulting In a considerable advance of renlB. J. S. Gibson of J. W. Robblns & Co. There 1b a decided Improvement in tho real estate market In some lines, There Is a good demand for well located resldenco lots. Wo ulso havo nn occasional Inquiry from strangers for modern Improved resi dence property, provided always that It must bo a bargain. To those who may bo seeking Investment for their spare dollars wo would suy that In our opinion thero Is no investment that would pay them better than tho bulldlug of medium valued modern residences In the city. Tho supply is far short of tho demand. W. Farnnm Smith The demand for resl denco property Is steadily growing more active. Tho Increased demand Is greater In higher-priced property, nnd prob ably for that reason the activity !s more uotlcablo In tho West Fnrnatn dis trict. Buyers, however, do not yet heem to fully npprcclutc tho new conditions that aro gradually bringing up values nnd many aro still waiting for bargains. W. L. Selby Omaha Is favorably passing the probationary period of all now cities and, llko most oldor places, purchases aro now gradunlly being mado for C to 8 per cent Income Investments, a fenturo not common heretofore. This Is it consequence of stability of rents nnd values, which will surely result In pouring cheap money Into Omaha for investment instead of being loaned nt tho present abnormnlly low rates. My greatest Inquiries are for homes and "snaps," of which the latter Is gradu ally disappearing. Georgo E. Glbsou Property is cheaper in Omaha today than in any of tho western cities and tho opportunity for buying homes was never better, as properties aro buro to advance, Desirable properties arc gradually being absorbed nnd homeseekers will find that thoy will ho obliged to meet an advanco In prices within the next year. Business properties In tho right locations are good Investments now, regardless of their present Income. Ernest Sweet of Sweet & Headley We notlco a gradual Improvement nnd an In creased demand for real estate In general. Tho demand for small homes has been bet ter this spring than for several years. Choice resldenco lots nro being taken up rapidly hy prospective home builders, most of whom nre going to build nt once. Some, however, are buying becniiso thoy realize that they will never ho able to buy r cheaply as now. I think that the sales ot tho past year In business properties speaks encouragingly for Omuha and no one com tcmplatlng investing In business or resl denco property need doubt for a moment tho steady appreciation. C. C, George of Georgo & Co. The real estate market Is In a good, healthy con dition and tho majority of the uales re corded aro for actual uso or Improvement by the purchasers. I look for a good legiti mate business right along, hut do not ox pect any unusual activity this year, nor for any material chango In values, Most of tho Improved properties, both business and resldenco, nro rented so nB to pay a good rate of Interest on tho present basis nf values nnd many vacant lots In desirable locations could he Improved so as to yield a good Income on tho present actual cost and Improvements, Henry B. Payne, C01 New York Life I am very much gratified to note the renewed Interest that eastern investors are tuklng In Omaha, While many who held mortgages horo several yeurs ago becamo much dis heartened over the shrinkage of valtien after tho panto their Interest has been re vived nnd In many cases they have plnnel their faith to Omaha stroager than ever Thero hns been 1 very healthy amount of home buying this year, and with realty values so low nnd houses In such strong demand for rent, at prices runglng higher than for years, a largo amount of local capital ba been placed In rental Investment this sea son. George P. Demls I don't believe thero will ver bo In the history of Omaha such an opportunity to buy real estate at as low n figure today. I have been In tho real estate business In Omaha for thirty-three yeurs nnd have passed through a number of depressing period? uud have also been near the head of tho procession during prosperous times, nnd I believe that were wo to live 1,000 years wo would not again meet with such disastrous conditions as have prevailed during the Inst thirteen or fourteen years. Chris. Buyer I havo a number of In quiries for properties, but find that most nil people are looking for grnulno bargains nnd don't Invest their money as readily as might be expected. However, I believe property nt presiut Is as low as It will ever be In Omaha and the ones who are Intend ing to buy homcB will find that the longer they wait the more they will have to pay. Rental property Is In demand now, espe cially small houses. There are numerous applications for houtcs of from four to eight rooms. W. P. Dodge, Jr., Manager of Omaha Realty Co. We look for a general Increase In values of Omaha real estate nnd more of a demand, as all other forms of Invest ment havo reached n price that no longer presents n good Investment. It is a notable fuct that renl cstato Is the last form of property to feel the ef fect of good times and since farm prop erties havj reached a price that offer little better Investment than stocks nnd bonds, we think money will now go Into city prop erty. There hns been more activity In the real cstnte market In the last threo months thnn for several years, and although It hns not had any tendency to Increase val ues that can be explained hy the fact that a great deal of property on the market llko ours was acquired hy foreclosure of mort gages and Is being sold at a great loss to the mortgagee. For Instance, In our case, wo havo Bold about $6.',000 worth of real estate since February 1, In amounts rang ing from $30 to $6,000. This property netted us nbout 50 per cent of what It cost the Omaha Savings bank. People have bc como to accustomed to this sacrlfico real cstato sale in Omahn that they look only for "snaps" where they can double their money In a short time. When tho property acquired by mortgage Is once sold and In the hnudu of permanent holders wo will have more permanent and higher renl es tate values In our city. Garvin Bros. An encouraging feature of the local real cstato market Is tho Increased Inquiry from non-residents wanting to buy Omaha property for purpose of Investment. Prosperous farmers nnd business men out In the state nnd from Iowa nnd Illinois are now frequent callers for Improved prop erties that will net good returns as nn Investment and give promise of an ad vanced value.

Of tbo Inttcr ono tract Is situated C.300 feet northeast of the Lucas gusher and B.500 feet northeast nf tho Bcatty, tho other about 2,r00 feet northwest of tho samo wells; thui both itrc ill the heart of tho richest oil llckls In this country, nnd In fart In the world, The third tract lies Just west of the well known Sour Lnko nnd Saratoga districts, and In fnct directly adjoining the latter. The Sour Iake district Is believed to bo tho next In line to bring In gushers, perhaps more remarkable even than those at Beaumont. Strong surface Indications of oil have boon known to TexonB for over fifty years, tho seepages being exceptionally strong on and about this rompuny'a tract, and shallow wells havo In past years been sunk with good rrBiilt.i, The oil obtained Is of exactly tho same character ns the Beaumont product, and there Is abundant reason for belief that at the Beaumont depths oil will be found In equal quantity as well as quality. For tho purpose of actively developing the above properties tho company offers for public subscription 100,000 SHARES AT 50 CENTS per share, subject, however, to advance or withdrawal without notice, in the discretion of tho directors.
