HEAVY CORN MOVEMENT THE CAUSE talon Pnclflo llnd to Hefnve Mil lion Bnshela of Wheat He canse of l.nck of Cart. Southern railroad lines are facing a car famine. Not a road entering Omaha in the competition for the southern grain haul can get all the equipment it needs. Some of the lines have been forced to turn away business because It could not promise the cars. While the present shortage Is great est on the lines Interested In the guif hauls. It Is by no means conlinod to these lines, for some of the eastern lines aro couipialu Ing of a shortage of equipment. "We had to turn down a haul of 1,000,000 bushels of wheat the other day because we could not promise the curs," said a Union Pacific man. "A northwestern shipper wanted 1,0(0 cars, but we could not promise them and we had to lose the haul." The shortage is caused by the unusual de mand for cars to carry the export groin to Galveston and New Orleans. ThH move ment is the largest In yearn, and tho situa tion Is aggravated by the fuct if th :)iui l age of tho corn nop in Mlse"'i:l u::d thu failure in parts of Kansas, whirli w .: de vastated by floods. Second crops of corn were planted, but tl.? grain did not muttiie. This has created a demand for northern grains and has made a demand for curs which Is usually divided with tho exclu sively southern lines. "The southern shipinnnls are abnormal. While we aro not as bad off as sumo of the other lines, the situation Is bad enough. We have not really been short, but we have not been ablo to get all the curs wo could use." On the Burlington the situation has been partly relieved the last week as the re sult of the edict forbidding curs to be shipped outside of Burlington territory. The Burlington ulso has drawn heavily upon Its eastern territory to relieve the pressure west of tho river, with the result that there Is a stringency oust of the Mis souri, but the road manages to keep Its cars In motion on the eastern lines, and this hus relieved the congestion to some ex tent. llenvy Movement of Corn. "We never have had such a time getting cars," said a Rock Island man. "We can't begin to get the cars we need. The cause of It? Oh, the heavy movement of export com. There has boen nothing like It In years. Owing to the rates It Is all moving to the gulf this year and very little Is going by rail to the eastern ports. One great fault is the cars are ail going one way. If we could keep them moving we should be all right, but we are unable to get them back. They go to the gulf ports and have to stay there until they are unloaded. Shippers are clamoring for cars and we are doing the same thing. I don't know how long It will last. We expected It would let up two weeks ago, but today the situa tion Is as bad as ever and the end Is not in sight." A Missouri Pacific man spoke along the same lines. - "All the hauls," he said, "are one, way. We have to haul back empty cars, but wo would be willing to do this If we could get the cars. This Is almost impossible. We can't 'borrow, because the other roads are aa bad off as we are. See all the loaded cars of grain that we have been shipping snath for the last two or three weeks. We aro getting none of these cars back. We have today 600,000 bushels of corn more than we have cars for. I ex pect we will be able to get it out of the way, but it will take time. .The shippers will have to wait, for we simply can't get the cars, and I think you will find that the othor roads are In about the same fix. Some of them are short of engines as well aa cars." REAL ESTATE VIEWS Alfred C. Kennedy of the firm of Howard Kennedy & Son says: "1904 was the best year for real estate sales since the boom, and there are many Indications that 1005 will be still better. An encouraging feature of the movement Is that it Is not confined to any one class of property or to uny one locality, but Includes all kinds of properties and is general all over the city. If yon were to look up the transfers on the map you would be surprised to see how much trackage property changed hands during the year in addition to the Great Western and Grain Terminals, and further Investi gation would show that it waa almost all for use. The Dletz purchase near the Meta brewery, the Pierce deal on the bottoms north of Nicholas street, new coal yards at Twenty-fifth and Saylor streets und a dozon others to which I could call your attention. Then, too, a number of pur chases were made for Investment purposes. Among our own recent sales was the three story brick building at 1921-23 Leavenworth street, a small hotel property In the down town district, u row of fluts on Twenty fifth street, the three-story brick building at 101 South Twelfth street und a bunch of cottages in Hie north end of town. "The truth of the matter Is we have a better town than we realize. We have been so busy scolding about high taxes and try ing to see that our neighbors, the rail roads, telephone company, wholesale mer chants, etc., were cuught for the full amount of their taxable property we huve not had time to notice the constant In crease In population, the new business en terprises quietly occupying vacant store rooma and the healthy, prosperous condi tion of business generally. Some of these fine mornings we will wako up and be surprised to find that we are living In the best and most prosperous town of Its size In America." C. F. Harrison of Harrison & Morton says: "As It seems to me, the thlnfj to be emphasized In regard to Omaha la it lo cation. It seems to be a natural economic law that cities spring up at certain strate gic points. That Omaha Is one of these strategic points is demonstrated by tho very fact of Its existence an a town of over 100,000 population. It Is sold to be a historic fact that no town of this size ever retro grades. Omahu's population hus for a good many years borne a certain ratio to the population of the btate of Nebraska. Tho ratio has been about one to, ten. In all probability this ratio will continue,, and ua the state Increases In population and wealth Omaha will increase In the tamo propor tion. The history of cities is that they grow faster as they grow bigger. "Two notable events have occurred within the last eighteen months that have some what awakened Omaha citizens to the new and great growth upon which the city Is entering One of these events was the com ing of the Great Western, and, more par ticularly, the exploiting of Omuha's re sources by the president of that company. Nothing hus occurred since the locating of the stock yards of greater moment to Omaha than the establishment of a grain market at tills point. While this market Is In the process of development there la no doubt that it will be a succets. Too much credit cannot be given to Mr. Stickney, not alone for makltig It possible to have a grain market Iiits, hut for his exploitation of the resources of the Stat, mskuig It plain that Omaha was the natural center for the busi ness resources of the state. Seventeen years) ago this city took on a great expan sion, awakening apparently In a night to the fact that It was no longer to be a town or village, but a city. Vast publio works were Inaugurated. Much private building was undertaken, real estate values doubled and trebled, speculation was rife and we had what has come to be called, although we denied It then, a boom. A more proper description of the city's condition would pei haps be an over-expanRion and an Infla tion of values beyond real worth. "Since then Omaha has had an Internal growth, greater than any preceding equal period and the tery conservatism Caused by the last over-expansion and the loes occur ring then hts brought us to a condition where the experience of 1JW7 In a modified form is likely to be duplicated. "The country had outgrown the city In ISM and 17, hence the revolution whlrh took place In city values. The country has now again outgrown tho city and if experi ence tenches anything It ia that a modified revolution is likely to ajraln occur. The wealth of the state at largo has Increased from 20 to SO per cent, while the value of Omaha real estate stands practically the same us ten years ago. "The other Important event Is the sssur snee of an lnterurhan system for Omaha. This demonstrates the growth of the coun try and will bo followed by the growth of the city. Tho last year, taking It as a whole, was perhaps the best real estate year within the last fourteen, but the year was notable for tho absence of any specu lative feeling. It will simply be Impossible to prevent the speculative element making Itself felt, whenever a new expansion, which Is sure to come, takes place. The natural courso of expansion, us shown by our unpuralelled advance in 1SS6 and 18X7. Is from tho country Into tho city. It Is possible that tho conservatism developed by our former over-exranslon may retard the leBitlmate growth that Is at our doors so that we may not see a revolution In valU'.-s this yeuf. Hut by a natural eco nomic law governing the growth of great communities whose resources are practi cally unlimited the change will come." Hasting & Hcyden report thut they built twenty-two modern houses lust yrur. rang ing In price from tl.500 to $5,000, mootly six and soven rooms, all modern, which size seem to be in demand more man tne larger houses. They platted Bluff View ad dition (cornering on Kountze Place) last June, and now you can see seven new mod ern houses already built and a number more In course of construction. InBldo of one year thero will be fifteen new houses in this new addition, and twenty-five out of thirty-three lots have already been sold at prices from $Ju0 to $000. A great deal of the vacant ground In Omaha could be Im proved In tho same way If the owners would sell at a price that Is within the reach of the medium class of people that want homes. This firm la doing a great deal in the way of buying up vacant pieces, platting them and selling at prices thai are reasonable, and beginning to Improve them. Another addition has recently been opened lying along tho new South Boule vard, between Hanscoin park and Twenty fourth and Vinton. The lots range in price from $300 to $500. A number of lots have already been sold, mostly to South Omaha stockmen, who have already started to build. Ernest Sweet says: "Little, perhaps, can bo said that will give a fairer idea of Omaha and its future than the recent ex position of Industries and trade given by the dally ptipers following the close of the year. One can hardly study the summary and fall to see that Omaha has advantages peculiarly its own. A year ago it waa said 1904 would be a record-breaker. The proph esy has more than been fulfilled. That a larger business will be done In 190S Is con ceded by all. We expect to make more commission sales and will build more mod ern homes than ever to sypply Increasing patronage. " F. J. Fitzgerald of the Fitzgerald-Der-mody company says: "There Is a condi tion existing in tho Omaha real estate mar ket today that while It has been slow com ing, has been brought about by natural causes. That Is, the attention of the spec ulator in real estate la attracted this way. While during the lust few yeura you could find purchasers for small properties, today there Is a demand for good Income proper ties ranging from $15,0110 to $T0,0iio by parties who have the cash and consider Omaha property the best Investment to be hud.' The entrance of tho Great Western railroad and the grain terminals, the new elevators to be built, have advertised this city to the world, while the new Hougland block, the building by J. L. Brandels & Sons of one of the finest department stores In the west, and tho prospects of another record-breaking year in the building lines, has con vinced the sceptical ones here ut home that the time has come to purchase Omaha real eBtate." Joint Initiation Demonstration, The interstate Joint initiation demonstra tion of the Catholic Order of Foresters will be held at Crelghton hull this afternoon. CourU from Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Ne braska and Illinois will attend. Over 2fj0 members will bo initiated and officers In stalled. It Is stated the event will bring a large number of visitors to the city. DOING THEIR DUTY Scores of Omaha Readars Are . Learning the Duty of the Kidneys. To filter tbe blootl U the kidney's duty.
