TIMELY REAL ESTATE GOSSIP Several Big Firms Announce Subur ban Lota Daring Week. ' MANY PURCHASERS ON GROUND General Movement Is Started Toward tho Oataklrttne; Acres br Those Who Are Seeking; Modest Homes. The movement toward suburban acres and lots was never so pronounced In Omaha as during the week Just ended. Many large real estate firms which are promot ing outsklrtlng property came forth during the last few daya with luring propositions, and hundreds of persons, many of whom became buyers, traveled to the far ends of the street car lines to look over choloe lots for cottages and acres for chicken ranches. , Probably the most Important movement suburbanward was inaugurated during the week by George ft Co., agents for most of the vacant property In Dundee, Happy Hollow and Fair Acres. A systematic advertising campaign was launched, and yesterday waa set as the opening day for the reception of prospective buyers In those choloe districts. During the day many inspected these districts, and the agents report a satisfac tory number of buyers. The lots are of fared on the easy payment plan, affording the person with a small amount of capital and considerable energy to establish a home. Another Important announcement waa made during the week when the Byron Reed company began pushing what are known as Elmwood Acres, situated near Elm wood park. The tract oontalns twenty acres, and the plat is now before the county commissioners for approval. The property Is being sold In acre and one-half acre parcels for prices ranging from !o00 to fcrtX). "We have had mora Inquiries lately for acres than for any other kind of property," says Mr. Reed. "It Is human nature to want to get away from the toll of the city, whero children and chickens grow healthy and where there Is plenty of fresh air." , Hastings Heyden, who platted twenty acres In Florence, and sold all but three of the lots within two weeks, have an nounced that they will soon place a new addition on the market. The tract, which is divided Into sixty lots. Is located on the boulevard between Military avenue and Fontanelle park. A name has cot yet been selected for the new addition, that being left to the purchasers of the lots, to whom will be offered a prise for the mwt desirable name. TTie lots are forty-five feet wide and are from 13u to M feet deep. The addition la located within two blocks of either the Benson or the Deaf Institute street car lines. A campaign to raise part of I&.000 neces sary to build a new and larger place of worship for the congregation of t. Peter s parish will be started soon by Father IV A. McGovern. The campaign will last throughout the summer months, during which time it Is expected tW.OOO will be raised. This, with $26,000 due from the (State of the late Joseph A. Connor, will be sufficient to build the church, which will be located at Twenty-eighth and Leavenworth streets, on the ground now partly occupied by the present church. Two years will have elapsed before actual building operations are started. Excavations were started last week for a modern cottage for Louis E. Hurt, a railway mall service employe, who waa married recently. The cottage will be erected on Seward street, faring south, west of Military avenue. It will cost H.OuO and will be ready for occupancy about July 1. The cottage Is being built by Payne A Slater.

The Clmea sloes will be 40 by (0. one story high. High power currents will bo transmitted from the power station and conformed to the prop current. U ppopal street eat. CAPITAL REMOYALISTS HAPPY Kearney Man Declares Western Part of State is Satisfied. SOME PROGRESS ALREADY MADE Defeat of Appropriation for State Historical Society's Buildings Is Considered Step Toward aa Ultimate Victory. "Tho capital removal enthusiasts were perfectly satisfied with tho work we did during the last legislature," said Willard F. Bailey of Kearney, author of the two removal bills and member from Buffalo county. Mr. Bailey was In Omaha Satur day buying offloo supplies. "When we caino to tho legislature at the first of the year we never thought of doing anything but defeating the appro priation for the State Historical society buildings. The society wanted to get enough money to finish tho building al ready , started and the secretary, C. 8. Calne, sent around letters saying that It that appropriation could be secured the capital removal duration would be dead for years to come. We sucejt-ded In stop ping that expenditure of money and we had never hoped to get a removal bill actually through. "Kearney and Grand Island, the two towns most interested, have entered Into an agreement through the Commercial clubs to work together for removal, and It will take a long campaign of state-wide activity to acquaint the people with the advantages of having a centrally located capital and a new whole sale and railroad center for the western part of the state. Kearney Is now getting promises from the Burlington for new con nections and the branch called the "Kear ney tc Belolt," a small railroad down Into Kansas, may ba connected up with the ftanta Fa. If that happens we will havu exceptionally good railroad facilities. As far aa rivalry between Grand island and Kearney Is concerned, I think both towns realize that they will never be great cities unless they get something like the capital to boost their chances and that the looa tlon of the capital In either would not re tard the other from being as great as It would have been If the capital had re mained in Lincoln." Mr. Bailey Is proud of his recently ao- qulred distinction as a member of th "Veto club." Ho was the author of the real estate license bill, upon which the governor put his dlxapproval.
