Omaha in far In advance of many eastern cities In the manner of platting new sub divisions In that the new city lota belnn placed on the market conform more nearly to the modern evolutions In home building. Although confirmed customs yield reluctantly to the compelling force of new ideas the lots now being platted In the city of Omaha are uniformly wider, with possibly a slight decreaso In depth. The standard lot should have and does hav. In Omaha a frontage of from thirty to forty feet and be not less than 100 feet In depth. Mmt of lots laid out In the city In former years were either fifty to sixty leet width and 1.12 to 150 reet deep or Im mense lots occupying quarter or half of an entire block. With the wider lots ample space for light nd air Is provided and relief had from annoyances Incident to too close proximity to one's neighbor, however desirable they Way be. The unthinking Investor begrudges ery square foot of land not actually built upon, but a little liberality and In telligence will show him that open spaces re often the part 'of his property em ployed to the best advantage, especially In the construction of flats or apartment houses. In a city where territory Is prac tically unlimited there la no necessity for the dungeoning of anyone in dark or !lly Ventllatrd houses or apartments. Owners of residence property acknowledge that values here may never rise to fancy figures Cls thy have done on Manhattan Island or In other cities where expansion Is Impossi ble and the broad prairies which surround Omaha curtail such expectations. This fact should be and Is recognized by owners who open up new subdivisions and the modern tendency is toward much larger lots. Reel estate brokers are confronted every clay with the peculiar fact that not one person in one thousand knows what an abstract is or realizes the value of a complete understanding of this simple in BtruMent of everyday use. The ordinary purchuser of real estate knows that an abstract is black, brown or some other color and is examined by lawyers, but that ! the extent of his knowledge. A layman cannot examine an abstract, but he will be surprised to see how much of an abstract he can understand. The chain of title In most cases can be fol lowed very easily and many persons would be interested In following the vicissi tudes of the property they own. Most persons, If they could read an abstract only once, would learn something never known before, which Is that an abstract Is merely an abbreviated history of a particular piece of property, written In the English language, and with nothing very mysterious about It. People should familiarize themselves with real estate transactions; at least with the elementary principles, as almost every man and woman In this community owns or expects to own a piece of real estate. After all Is said and dons real estate Is the true savings bank of the worklngman, be cause it Is the one Institution that never falls. Returns may be disappointing, owing to larger taxes or assessments than had been anticipated, the ' neighborhood may deteriorate or repairs prove unexpectedly expensive, but the owner has the oontrol of the result of his industry and economy In his own hands and does not have to ask somebody's permission to do what he thinks best. In direct contrast to the conditions in Omaha and elsewhere It Is said that the real estate market of Chicago has become demoralized by excessive taxes and putrid politics. A real estate Journal published at that city, which has a wide circulation, epitomizes the situation thera In the fol lowing paragraphs: While the market" for property here (Chi cago) is better than at any time since 1893, there are still fifty sellers for every buyer High rentals, due to the rapid growth of rotation, maj furnish a market for im proved realty yielding a gross Income of 11 per cent but real estate Is not wanted ?. ?T,7.ve"t5,,"nt for fPl'al.

Many complaints are being made by real estate brokers that their lists of property for sale are becoming very much depleted due to conditions which have not become evident to any great xtent until recently It to said that this Is principally noticeable In residence property, although the supply of business property on the market at pre vailing prices Is also limited. .George o. Wallace, a well known dealer In Omaha property and farm lands, is of the opinion that conditions affecting farm land sale. , are now being met In city real estate. For many years the business In western and nearby farm lands was of large volume, but tha supply has decreased to such an extent that the present trade 1. almost wholly in farm land. i the ,x! treme west and Canada!

Another condition affecting the supply of property on th. market I. th. closing out of prop erty acquired former year, by foreclos- ur. proceedings. Most of th. property cured in this manner ha, been sold and the supply of other property is on the wane. Omaha owners are evincing an i. tentlon of retaining possession of their property wltn confidence ln the future of th. city.

BJSY DAYS ON THE LINKS ARE AT HAND Women, School Boys and Seniors to Play Their Auuual Champion ship, ou Nerv Vork Links Fixtures at Other Clubs. NEW YORK. Maj- 18,-There will be much doing on American golf lluka next week. About New York there will be three annual championship tournaments alone. One will be lor the New York InUi scholas tic title, now held by Frederick HtrreshofT; another the Women's Metropolian Uolt association championship, and the third will be for the Metropolitan Golf associa tion championship, at present held by Jerome D. Travera, Another tournament of the week will be the open championship of the Massachusetts Golf association at the Brae Burn Country club, while at far away Spokane the Pacific Northwest ama teur championship Is on for action. The holders of the two titics are, respectively, Alex Ross and C. K. Maglll of Victoria. The schoolboys begin tomorrow at the Garden City Goif club and will play until Wednesday to decide their individual and team rivalries, the latter championship now being held by Lawrenceville school. Fred Herreshoff Is out of schoolboy golf, ! but it is an axiom of the tournament that nner seldom defends his title, and the chief Interest ln the affair to outsiders is the revelation of skill In the rising gen eration. The tournament has been held since 1S99, bar one year, and usually each Umo on a different course. It 'has a! waifs been onen to the preparatory school, of all part, of thft countpy and tQ wln hM meant m()rp than a victory in the local schoolboy tournaments that are bow held at several cities. From its open conditions the New York tournament Is a national one. The tendency Is to restrict the entries in all local tournaments to residents of the dis trict and possibiy, should this be done at New York as well as outride, a regular national championship for schoolboys may follow. But a, boy, of the preparatory schools are so soon to be eligible for col lege and other championships such a tour nament may never be necessary. The New York schoolboy tournament has produced some fine golfers. The champions have been: 1S9, St. Andrews. G. Owen Winston; 150!). Garden City, H. B. Holllns. Jr.; 1901, Oakland, Pierre A. Proal; l3, Westbrook, J. L. Batchclder; 1904, Nassau,' Jerome D. Travers; Wo. Garden City! Dwlght Partridge; 1906, Garden City. Fred Herreshoff. The earlier contests were arranged by the Cutler school, and for three years the tour nament had been run by St. Paul's school of Garden City. Holllns was runner up to J Winatrtw am4 ., n IT O ... i . I ui ii . crviy wnen ne won his title. The team championship winners have been: 18S9 and 1900. Cutler; 1901. St. Paul's of Concord; 19(3. Lawrencevllle; 1904 and 1906. St. Paul', of Garden City; 1906, Lawrencevllle. Knollwood is the garden links of the many beautiful ones about New York. The play Is over a lawn and often between parterres of flower,, yet there are ome fine testing hole, that appeal to every golfer. The two water hazard holes are better than most Iron Bhot holes near New York. The playing length Is 4.620 yards and the record Is 67, held by Travis. The hort distances will be a change from the long courses, all trudge and slug, that the women have been using In recent years and an admirable opportunity to test their iron shot, and putting. Thl, Is the cham pionship roster as to finals for the title: 1900, Morris county, Miss G. Hecker beat Miss R. rnderhlll: ISol. Nannau. Miss G. Hecker beat Miss R. Underhlll; 1902. Essex county.

Bishop. As will be seen, only two persons for Miss Hecker became Mrs. Stout have ever held the championship, a most remarkable record. Consolation cups, In sets of eight, four ball matches, a handicap and other special contests fill up the tournament card. The handicaps have seldom been so close as In 1902. when there was a tie between Mrs. M. D. Pnterson, 93, 1083, and Mrs. N. Pendleton Rogers, 87. 4-SJ. The lntter, now president of the Women's Metropolitan Golf nsFociatlon, also won the gross score prize. Douglas and Travers, having won out be tween them the plate for the Nassau Coun try club, the ninth championship at the Nassau Country club will be for a new cup, the gift of Daniel Chauncey on retiring from tha presidency of the Metropolitan Golf assocliitlon, to fill that office in the TTnlted Ststes Golf association. Like the old, this is also a three-win cup, but with the important change that It must be won by the same player before his club may claim it. The new rule is sure to keep the player In the game who once gains a win until every hope is lost. The qualifying and the final-rounds are at thirty-six holes, with all intermediate rounds at eighteen. Thirty-two qualify for the championship, while the third and fourth sixteen also qualify for prizes, defeated sixteen of the championship set will start again for the president's cup, this year the gift of W. Fellowes Morgan. The championship record is: In 1W9 st Garden Cltv. H. M. TTarrlmnn heat Reglnnlrt Brooks. ? to 1: 1900, Nas sau. W. .T. Travis bent H. M. Harrlman. 1 and 2; 1901, Anawnmls, F. S.

Travers last year also won the qualify ing round medal with 73, 7S 144. Travis did the same, with 76, when he won his tile at Tuxedo. Harrlman was In the triple tie for the score medal, in his year. The others were: F. S. Douglas and J. A. Tymg, the total being 173. In the other years tho score medalist has not gone through. There has been an Increased entry and more enjoyment for everybody since the change In the tournament conditions In 19C3 to the present plan of giving cups. Before only the championship set qualified, and those defeated played for the presi dent's cup. The club pairs, four ball match and the handicap have, however, been played from the start. It has been found that the success of a tournament as to minor features depends on the number of players attracted for the qualifying round, and since the adoption of a more generous policy there has been no com plaint of small fields at the M. G. A. meetings. This year', tournament commit tee Is Paul Wilcox, chairman: Simeon Ford and John R, Maxwell, Jr., with the M. G. A. officials. John Reld, Jr., and Archie Reld won the four-ball match last year, with 35, 3409. R- C. Watson, Jr., had the gross prize in the handicap, with 75, and F. 8. Keeler won the net, 83. 1370. Flndlay Dojglas won the president's cup, Howard Glffen that for the third sixteen, and Sidney Mad dock won the trophy for the , fourth six teen. The entries for the pending contest include all the cracks. Travers. who has th. record of 69 for the 8.037-yard course, would be a strong favorlt. but for the erratic play he showed at Atlantic City, while Travis is always good at Nassau. To shift to Scotland, the "gray city" will harbor a host of fin. golfer, next week, play beginning on May $7. That Nestor of the links.

There Is no qualifying round and there wil! be over a hundred players. James Rohb, a native of St. Andrews, Is the tltleholder, while A. O. Barry, his predecessor, Is also of that bailiwick. It Is 20 to 1. so strong Is the field, against anyone naming the winner. Besides Byers, F. Oden Horstmnn, T. O. Stevenson and possibly other Americans will start. American golfers have arranged to cross the border In force thl season. Some time ago A. W. Austin, president of the Ijunb ton Golf club of Toronto. Can., conceived the Idea of having a team fm-ri th" states pay the Canadian clubs a vls't during the summer of 1908. He finally, through A. W. Tllllnghast of Philadelphia, extended a cordial Invitation to spend two weeks there this present season. The plan Is to have ten or s dozen well known nmatetirs cross the border and takfl part In nt least four team matches. Matches are to be played with the Lamb ton Golf club. Toronto Golf club, Rosedale Golf culb and Hamilton Golf club. Thi affairs will occupy the visitors the first week. Following this will come the annual open tournament on the Ixmbton links. This will extend over a period of five dsys. The first day will bo devoted to a team match, singles and foursomes, and then nil the visitors start In the tournament proper. In the Lnmbton tourney a year ago Tll llnghast reached the final round, only to be defeated by Fritz Martin. When TlllinfThast received the invitation to get up a team he had hW doubts, but h soon found that the amateurs responded readily. Among those who have expressed a willingness to make up tha party are: Jerome D. Travers of Montclalr. the metro politan champion; Fred Herreshoff of Gar don City, the Interscholastlc title holder; Archie Graham, the New Jersey champion; Dr.' D. P. Fredericks of Oil City, Harold Sands of Aiken, George LafTorty of the Chevy Chase club and Howard W. Perrln, W. P. Smith and George A. Crump of Philsdelphla. It has also been learned that the Cana dian, ara anxious to bring about a resump tion of the team matches with the United States Golf association, which were annual feature, about a decade ago. There has already been considerable correspondence on the subject between the two bodies, and It was thought that a committee to represent the United States Golf associa tion would be appointed. As yet, however, no official action has been taken. At any rate it is quite possible that the coming friendly clash will be tho mean, of getting the two associations to make thesa team matches annual events. The exact time for the departure of the Americans has not as yet been determined, but It will either be the latter part of July or early ln August. Prominent among the Canadian amateurs are George S. Lyon, runnerup to E. M. Byers la the national championship at Englewoed last summer; Douglas Laird, formerly at Princeton, and Frits Martin, who learned to play in Scot land.

It is believed, will be in the affirmative. Much difficulty has been met In securing enough member, to take part In the ex cursion, which will be the most extensive and pretentious ever given by any com mercial organization of the United States and the success of the excursion Is pri marily due to the efTorts of Chairman J. H. Taylor, Joseph Kelley and Dan B. Ful ler of the trade extension committee, who have devoted their entire time, day and night, for the last three week, ln securing participant, for the excursion. Many Requests from Cities. So many request, have been received from person, of the cltle, to be Tlslted on the excursion that the time allotted by the itinerary for visits to their towns be ex tended that an effort will be made to give more time to many cities if it can be done without curtailing the tlm. spent ln other cities.

Clippings have been received from the Spokane Dally Chronicle announcing that a commltta had been appointed to entertain the Omaha visitors at Spokane and also from the Evening Chronicle of Spokane and the Billings Gazette. Details incident to the excursion are be ing considered by the member, of the trade extension committee of th.
