' Omaha la acquiring an Individuality of tier own in the home, she ia bulldlnjr for her people. Kvery city In the world has its own distinctive idiosyncrasy of archi tecture, though all conform more or less to the style of the nation in which they are a part. As Omaha ia made up of people from many countries of the world and as much of ber population has come from New England and other eastern localities o( the l alted States, ao her architecture, taken . i a whole, la a composite of all that is beat in the architecture of the homes of these various countries and the other parts of this country. The experiences of home builders elsewhere have been put Into operation in Omaha with such improve ments as experience has taught would be of use. The flaf fcund here ia an exa mple. In Philadelphia-and other cities of the ras: the flat is generally a hideous thing, set ven with the sidewalk line, rising, lo a height of from three to six stories and having no pretense to being architecturally beautiful or to having any other object than making the nioin rooms In a certain very cramped space of expensive city land. In Omaha the Hat is a thing of beauty as well as being a substantial building, con veniently located to I lie business part of the city. .It generally has. a front yard where there are trees and grass and vines and flower beds. It has a comparatively specious bark yard. It reldom rises to a height of more than two stories. And Its crowning glory It has 4 porch, a wide, deep, comfortable porch at the front, to say nothing of a back porch. In fact such a building ought not to be burdened with the opprobrious name of flat. This Is typical of Omaha's distinctive style of home architecture. It Is on broad lines embodying comfort first, spaciousness, plenty of fresh air and a touch of nature which la necosaary to a free and a freedom loving people. Omaha homes are set in big yards with ample yard space and shrub bery. The caves of the bouses are broaj, the windows are large and numerous. The houses. In short, make only such a com promise with nature aa is demanded by the vicissitudes of wind and w either. They are built to give aa much of the breath of Mother Nature to the occupants aa is pos sible. A leading buslnesg-snan is completing a handsome home in the western part of the city. He built the frame of this house In rather aa unusual way. Instead of asking bids from contractors he did the work him self, employing laboreis by the day. He usad tile blocks In the wall and the laying of these was a simple matter. The walls and floors are all of terra cotta, and ' the 1 blocks are laid so that the hollow spaces Inside each block correspond and form con tlnuous air chambers from top to bottom. This makes the walls exceptionally non- conductive tvheat and cold. Ana now sun greater Inducements are offered to home building or home acquirers. A double St. Ixmus flat was recently of fered for sale and It was pointed out that by making the first payment the owner would practically acquire the property without further expense. The monthly payments needed to wipe out the balance o( the purchase price would be equiva lent only to the amount of rent paid by one-half of the flat. Thus the lucky buyer could occupy one-half of the prop erty and his tenant in the other half would pay sufficient each month to make the payments. This Is the first time the problem has been worked out how to turn a man from a rent payer at one stroke not only into an owner of a home, but Into a landlord, a rent collector aa well. In the spring the home owner's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of planting trees. If it does not turn In that direction it ought to. "Plant a tree. Jack; It'll grow while ye're sleeping." And aside from this practical point of view Is the fact that beautiful trees are a great addition to 1 ven the most bcauttrul Home. Nature cannot be painted, but it will give tta beauties free to the householder who is sufficiently foreslghted to plant a tree. There are a number of trees, both de ciduous and evergreen, which thrive In this climate. The best tiine to transplant young trets, according lo a government expert, is Just before growth begins In the spring that hi. right now. In general planting should be done as soon as possible after the frost is out of the ground. Conifers with the exception of the deciduous spe cies. ,may be planted somewhat later In the season. , A wet or cloudy day la best for trans planting. When the seedling is taken from the ground its roots should be Immediately plunged Into a vessel containing a mix ture of earth and water as thick as cream. This is an Important requisite for success ful tree transplanting. The trenches In which the trees are placed should be dug so as to leave plenty of room for the spreading of the roots. They should be dug several Inches larger than the extreme reach of the roots of the tree to bo planted. Tlien loose soil should be packed down around the roots and firmly patted. The treatment after planting consults in keep- TIMELY REAL ESTATE TALK Building Activity Uncommonly Brisk for Season of Tear. DEALERS ALL FEEL THE UPLIFT Sales HefWdrd anil Contracts lade Show the Prospects for Busy Season to Be Best in Tears. I "I have been over Omaha during the week on short drives and 1 have never seen as many new homes being built und us much remodeling at tills lime of the year during all the time I have been In business in Omaha." This was the remark of A. P. Tukey, one of the "old-time" real estate dealers, after he I'.ad completed his rounds of the city Thursday and Friday, . "The new homes in the west part of the city ure well under way. I believe that It Is the best season we have ever had for the growth of the district west of Thirty-third street. Every one who can get a lot seems to be anxious to get started early and get up a building. The residences in the west part of the city are, for the most part, good sized homes and will cost a great deal of money. It Is really encouraging to see so many homes being erected. In the north part of the city the same condition exists. The building there promises to exceed the number of homes erected last year, which I under stand was one of the best years for the Im provement of the North Side." Hastings & Hoyden have just Issued a booklet showing pictures of thirty hoes erected In Kountze Place last year, and saying that the number will be exceeded during the coming season, as a part of the tract between 8herman avenue and Twenty-fourth street and Plnkney and Pratt streets has been platted and will be offered for sale. Kast of Sherman avenue. In what is known as Sulphur Springs addition, a score of new houses are being erected and every day the agents for the trartell a lot or two for immediate Improvement. While the cart Is still complaining of .stationary conditions In the real estate world, and the VanNordan Magazine, an authority on financial subjects, says: "Ke.w buyers are bold enough to purchase real estate under exUtlng conditions," the buy ers In Omaha are more than at the same time last year. The New York authority continues: "The Income from manufactur ing properties is uncertain because their products are not now In demand and en- Ing the surface mulched to prevent evapo- j forced Idleness has been or is likely to be ration and the ground loose to assist the absorption of moisture. In By using the various departments of The Bee Want Ad Pages you get quick returns at a small expense. the result. In the wholesale and jobbing districts reductions In rents or vacancies are likely to occur, because sales of mer chandise to responsible buyers are diffi cult and collections arc almost impossible In many cases. The retail and shopping districts are subject to the same conditions. Residences, are not in demand because the people are suffering from or being threat ened with reductions in Income. Tenement property Is unsalable because rents are falling and the unemployed a constantly Increasing army cannot pay even the re duced rents." Such a picture from the cast stands out In maiked contrast to the sales reported by W. 1j. Selby, the Byron Reed company, George & Co., D. -V. Slioles, Hastings & Heyden, F. C. Best, Payne & Bostwlck and others. Friday Hastings & Heyden reported the fallowing sales, which were made In one day, six of the sales being in tho north part of the city: Lot on Lothrop, between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, to T. T. Day, consid eration $'J50, for a new home to be erected at once. " Lot on Plnkney street, between Seven teenth and Eighteenth streets, to Arthur L. L,ea for $700. ' Northeast corner qX Twenty-fourth and Plnkney streets, to I.ouis Flattl, Reagan & Wear, consideration k 1,000. Northwest corner Twenty-first and Plnkney, to John K. Reagan, on which Mr. Reagait will build a 3,D00 home at once. Lot on Kmmet street, between Nine teenth and Twentieth streets, to William Bodeman for SHOO. Mr. Bodeman will build a bungalow at once. Two .lots In Central Park addition, to E. S. Rush for $300, and a lot in Sheridan place, to John Wlsler for f'bQ. Homes will be built on both the lots sold. O. C. Wright bought a lot on Plnkney street, between Sherman avenue and Eighteenth streets, for $950 and will erect a new home, while H. I'. Noyes bought a lot on Liothrop street, between Nineteenth and Twentieth Btreets, on which he will build a home, the consideration for the lot being fJitTiO. C. F. Leary bought the home at 401 North Fortieth street from the same firm for $U50. - y mmii st' 1 nit) HUtIG QUICKTY AND VflTH CASH While such a list was being put through by one firm others have not been sleeping. Mr. Selby closed a deal Friday whereby A. C. Foster secured the four brick houses formerly owned by John I. Flnd ley at Thirty-fifth and Harney 'streets for $19,000.- making something like $100, (rtiO worth of city property which Mr. Selby has sold since January 1, 1908. , One of the Influences which have helped Omaha real estate to move baa been the mortgage money, which has been easier each week since the first of the year. Every loan and savings association Is now making loans, and one association has been compelled to have three meetings of the board of directors during the week to pass on large loans. An officer of the associa tion which has most recently resumed the loans said: "We had $300,000 in loans con tracted when the financial trouble struck us. We not only furnished the amount, but some more during the last four months, arid have sufficient on hand to make all the loans which are needed." In the east mortgage money continues scarce. To quote the VanN'orden maga zine: "Mortgage money continues scarce, especially near the financial centers.

One of the Important enterprises wlich la still making talk In real estate circles of Omaha, Is the opening of the townslte pt "Ralston" at Seymour park, where Bhtmer ft Chase declare the Ralston aV LeOaron car shops and freight car factory will be located. The firm is spending thousands of dollars getting ready for the shops and a great number of homes. fme of the most extravagant booklets vj- published In- connection with a real estate deal In Omaha, has Just been Issued by the firm and published by a local colorotype print ing company. The booklet gives a dozen colored views of Seymour park and the tract which Is to be opened. aa the town of "Ralston," comprising 3U0 acres. Mr. Chase said: "I have not the least doubt that Mr. Ralston will begin work on his car shops within the next six weeks. Two weeks ago he said within sixty days. We are absolutely assured .that he will make good and are putting our money Into the proposition with that expectation. "If I mas not a member of the firm pushing this proposition, I should say that the opening of Ralston waa the best thing which lias happened to Omaha since South Omaha waa made a packing center. We have seen the corresondcnce istwecn the Chicago railroad equipment manufacturers and the railroad offiululs; we know tha car shops are needed and are coming to Omaha, and will employ not less than 3uf workmen the year around." "The lloralag Tub," A few years ago a sister of mine called In to see an old woman who lived In a little cottage In L.icolnshlre, and in course of conversation happened tp mention that she had a cold sKnge-down every morning.
