T HB colonial ityle always has been and always will be dear to the American heart There Is no more pleasant hobby tlian mtklnf a collection of the beuutiful things in colonial bric-a-brac and furniture. Naturally, the connoisseur prefers to have the original for examples, but since there are seldom enough to go around, there Is no good reason why faithful copies of original pieces of furniture made of a good ma terial and In as good way should not be popular as the now somewhat marred and time-worn pieces that have ben resurrected from our grandfathers' attics and handed 'down to use a a priceless heritage. There is one class of colonial art. which we are forced to copy, for. both location and lack of number prevents us all from owning the "originals." That Is the domestic colonial architecture. While we have come to look upon the colonial style of architecture as the American renais sance, it is, in fact, a native of England, where It was . known as the Georgian etyle. It was considered as only a fad in the mother country, however, and was eoon discarded for the ancient styles which are dear to the English and Bootch people. It was at this time In English history that the colonists were building their first homes and buildings and since they employed English architects their homes received the distinctive stamp of the Georgian style, then In vogue In Eng land. It was In this school that our first American architects were cultured ar.d trained with the result that the style came into national use and because of Its association with the early colonial history of this country, we have come to know It as the colonial style of archi tecture. - It is best known by its clean cut classic' details,, the generous use of: fill nI " -e rvr ,."' J. tw columns and pilasters, and the ever pres ent triple group for windows or doors, taken frum the Taladian buildings of Italy. ' It is especially adapted to construction In wood, and from this tact It lias derived Its somewhat misleading name of the "carpenter's renaissance." 'White paint Is used to a large extent in colonial aifhl tecture. the deep shadows bringing out its exquisito details. In architecture as In life, it la the shadows which tiring out the true character. Contrast of color is always prevalent. Whlto columns, how ever, can never make a colonial house, the details and proportion of the rest of the house must be -in keeping. There must be a feeling of harmony through out.

WHERE YOUR HOUSEHOLD GOODS WILL BE SAFE V h r TIMELY REAL ESTATE GOSSIP Denver Han Acquires $200,000 Etnch in Boone County. EXCHANGES IOWA LAND FOB IT i . Reatal Mes Respond Readily to the Healtr EtbhSBSe's Reuarst fur ; Report os Mubrr of Va cant Houses. A deal involving over $300,000 has Just been closed wherein, Emery F. Freeman of Denver, Colo., has become 'owner of a S.tCo-acr ranch in Hoone countrY Ne brasW,. giving in exchange 918 acres of land in , Wayne county, Iowa. The deal was made through the agency of Toland & Wiley. . . Local rental men are responding readily to the request of the Heal Estate ex change for lists and descriptions of their vacant houaes, the object of the exchange being to determine the exact number of vacant house In the city an J thus silence the rumors arising from the sta tistics of the gas and electric light companies as to the number of unused meters in the city. The bulk of unused meters. say the realty men, are in ancient buildings In the poorer part of the downtown district, and often a large number of unused meters are found in the same building. The inquiry has ben raised among local real estate men ae to whether or not the plan adopted by Tukey ,& Con of printing maps of the residence 'sec tion of Omaha on tha reverse side of their letter hs4s Is a good thing for the real estate business. Borne of the realty men express the four that pros pective customers, once having In their posKension a mail tihowing the location of all property by block aJid lot num bers, with reference to the streets, will Ko and pick out property for themselves and deal direct with tliu owners, eliminat ing the servloes ot tho middleman. ' Ileal ektate business in Omaha, .as an ticipated, "ploked up" in a lively manner after the Altrftar-Iien staaon and prac tically every salesman of the city Is busy on some "deal" or other. Rumors are current of a number of transfers in proc ess it negotiation which will mean sub stantial Improvements in a trade and in dustrial wy. Members of the Omaha Heal K tate exchange expett to get a good any yluU on selling lend next Wednesday, when the exhibitors at the Omaha Land show, will be guests of the exchange at luncheon. Last year when the Land show was here the ex hibitors talked before the exahange and xplutned some methods of advertising, which,' If. practiced' by local realty men, would probably place Douglas county acres in as great . demand as those ot California or Oregon. ; A delegate to the' National Frison con gress ast week got the Idea that Omaha real estate must be very high-priced be cause he had heard that the new county Jail is to be situated in the top story of the court house. This Idea was quickly dispelled, however, when he was told by Omahuns that real estate horc Is low In compSirlson with that of other cities of Omaha's sizo and Importance, and that the jail Is to be on top of the court hoiiBe for safety and to afford plenty ot freph air to the prisoners. Many of the real estate men suspected an abstracters' trust In the city nnd their suspicions were confirmed last tk when J. Fred Kerr sent out u circular announo tng that a trut had been In operation since June 1. but that ho hod withdrawn from It. Of course, the existence or lion existence of an abstractors' trut is not vital to the real estate dealer's business, as the public pays the ubetract bills in the end. The struggle ot Nebra.ska real estate men to get the legislature to pass two or three bills last winter may be con trasted with tlio situation in Sl.is'achu- setts, where the legislature parsed a host of bills without apparent effnjt, many of whcli the real eiiUto men (lid nut want.

There are twenty-live lots, or about five acres Dr. Olfford will give the lots to the city and the Fark board will Improve the tract for a children's playground. Harri son & Mortuii, who secured the luts for pr. Gifford, said: "The purchaser thinks that some of these cluse-lu vacant tracts should be saved for children's playgrounds and breathing places for the people of Omaha, and that the need of them will be more pressing as the city builds up and resi dence districts become more congested. There are a number of such places where property could be had at quite reasonable prices now, and In some cases where the city practically owns little tracts because of their tax claim on the property. In the case of the tract that we are buying, we found that there were several lots that had practically been abandoned by the owners and the city had tax claims of as much as the lots were rorth."

NATIONAL FIDELITY A CASUALTY ULDO, An Appeal To City People: X went to Bend to every man or woman In the United States dissatisfied with present location, an illustrated booklet describing briefly but accurately, the territory lying adjacent to the Northern Pacific Railway. This means the country between the head of the Great Lakes, the upper Mississippi Valley and the North Pacific Coast. I am particularly anxious to send this booklet to dwellers in cities and towns. 1e need is daily growing more urgent for these people to spread out into the less densely populated regions. The wisest move YOU can make is to locate in those sections where the growth in industry, land values and rural population is greatest. ' If you are buying a piece of property, either for investment, for 'residence or business purposes, naturally the most desirable is that which is growing most rapidly in value. Such steady, substantial growth nnd increase is a striking char acteriirJc of the states traversed by the Northern Pacific Railway: Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington ad Oregon. - The total percentage of increase in population in these seven states in the last ten years was-16 greater than the total percent age of increase of the entire United States. The value of farm lands in these states increased in the last 10 ' years as follows: Minnesota 82, Wisconsin 71, North Dakota 321, Montana 394, Idaho 518, Washington 419, Oregon 262. The value of products of industrial establishments of all kinds In these same states increased in the 5 years from 1904 to 1909 as follows: Minnesota 33, Wisconsin 44, North Dakota 87, Montana 21, Idaho 156, Washington 71, Oregon 68. These are Government figures. I want you to know of the opportunities which exist in these Prosperity States: opportunities to engage in farming, fruit -raising, dairying, and other agricultural lines, merchandising and business building of all kinds. After you have looked over the general publication referred to, with which I will send a reply postal card, I would like to have you indicate what particular state or locality most interests you, so that I can send additional specific information. This is your chance to grasp Opportunity. You can learn WITHOUT COST what these Northwest states have to offer. Your own good judgment, after you receive this information, will decide your course of action I believe you will determine to personally investigate the country. 1 We have low rates of fare to enable you to do this at no great cost. Write me today a postal will do. Let me send you the first booklet containing general description, with excellent illustrations and map. This will enable you to narrow your investigation down to a state or local ity. Then upon your request, specific literature and information wUl be promptly forthcoming. The time to do it Is now. ' Write today saying simply, "Send me your booklet about the Fertile Northwest." Address L. J. BRICKER, General Immigration Agt, Northern Pacific Railway, Saint Paul, Minnesota. m st m See Our Exhibit at the Omaha Land Show: Oct. 15-28 An riaborats display of products from the Fertile North weat. You should surely sea it. Thia exhibit ia in chaif a of rcpreaentativea who will be (lad to answer queationa and furniah free Illustrated literature.
