    Real Estate May
Benefit by New
Union Terminal
Omaha Drain-* Are Active in
Campaign and Express
Great Optimism
At least one section of Omaha will
very likely experience a substantial
rise in real estate values during the
coming year.
The rise will come as a result of
the proposed new union station.
That is the opinion of realtors of
Omaha. -•
Although the location is as yet un
named every effort is being made by
business and professional men of the
city to obtain the new structure and
settle all questions.
One plan for the stating is In the
possession of W, T. Scholes of the
llnnsen Investment company. This
plan calls for an excellent building
in an accessible section of the busi
ness district.
Scholes has corresponded with the:
h»a«1s of almost every railroad en
tering Omaha snd declares that he
has had some very favorable re
plies. AH of the companies, he de
clares, have expressed a willingness
to enter Into a combine to erect e
union station If the Union Pacific
will also agree to take part.
Old I And Grant Mentioned.
Tn times past, when the new sta
tion was discussed. Union Pacific
officials expressed a reluctance to
join such a program. As an excuse
for this attitude they refer to the
.^md grant under which they main
tain a terminal In Omaha.
The land grant was made by Doug
las county and a clause forbids the
removal of the station from Us
present site. Realtors say, however,
that this clause is a very simple
affair and ran be easily broken by
both parties of the grant contract
agreeing to abandon it.
Should the station be erected on
the site selected by Scholes real es
tate values in that part of the city
are bound to take a sharp upward
trend. It is agreed, in fact, that no
matter where the station is placed,
when It Is eventually agreed upon,
the price of real estate In the vicin
ity will increase.
Realty Hoard Active.
Nor is the station the only thing
that is being promoted by the Oma
ha Real Estate board. While they
are behind this one project in a body,
there are enough other organizations
to carry the bulk of the work, they
say.
As a result their industry is turned
toward obtaining more manufacturers
for Omaha. Thqse manufacturers
who use agricultural and livestock
produce in their business are especial
ly desirable, members of the organi
zation say.
Hard surfaced roads for the entire
state are also on the board’s list of
very desirable things. The advantages
of hard surfaced roads to Omaha is
almost unimaginable, realtors declare.
More Cattle Shipped in Trucks.
"Each year sees an increase in the
number of head of livestock brought
into the market at Omaha in trucks,”
they say. "Should the state of Ne
braska ever be in a position to boast
a thorough system of hard surfaced
loads so that this stream of trucks
could be kept moving all year round,
just imagine how this number would
be Increased.
‘‘Beside that, Omaha is th« world's
largest buttqg market. If it were
possible to keep truck lines operat
ing all the year round much milk
and cream could be shipped in much
more expediently than it is now.
"This holds true in every line of
farm produce. It also effect* the
merchants of the city.
"Suppose, for instance, that a mer
chant in a small town has a customer
who wants a certain article that is
not on the merchant's shelves. This
article can be purchased in Omaha.
I’.uJ if the merchant has to call over
%the telephone and have the goods
shipped by express, or even mail,
valuable time is lost. And with the
lime may go the opportunity for
sale. #
"If the roads were good that mer
chant ronld drive to Omaha every
time he had enough of these orders
to warrant the trip and carry back all
the little Items he needed. It would
aid his business and also the business
of the wholesaler with whom he
dealt.” *
There are many more such argu
ments in favor of the hard surfacing
of the roads and the realtors know
them all. But behind the entire pro
gram is the one great program, "Boost
Omaha.”

An Original Home Design
A new plnn for the home with prac
tically all of the room* on the first
floor has been devised by T.’ H. Maen
ner. The plnn gives all the advan
tages of second-floor bedrooms to
sleeping quarters on the ground floor.
The home, an English type bunga
low, was designed and built by the
T. H. Maenner company for Richard
S. Smith, 121 North Forty-second
street.
All of the rooms are large and well
ventilated. Special attention has been
given to the placing of window* and
doors so that the maximum amount
of wall apace is available.
The kitchen la one of the most de
serving of the rooms in the house. It
contains large cupboards, a built-in
Ironing board, broom closet, refrigera
tor room, dust and clothes chutes,
breakfast nook and a ventilated stove
recess.
This home is taken from among
the numerous plans of homes given in
I\ H. Maenner’s new design book.
Raymond Cook Supervises Laying
Out of Court in Aquila Building
Dream Originating in Chicago Realized in Handsome Down
town Structure Here—Trees and Flowers to Grace
Space Between Wings of Building.
From 8 in the morning until 4 in
the afternoon Raymond C. Cook
stands in the courtyard of the new
Aquila Court building personally
directing the building of the spot that
is to make the structure one of the
handsomest in Omaha.
I.andscape gardening is a hobby of
Cook’s. Tho crowded bu^ness dis
trict* of Chicago, his home, gave
him his first idea of the structure
which now stands at Sixteenth and
Howard streets.
Flowers, trees, the beauty of nature
—those were the things that Chicago
did not have which would be a bless
ing to a great das* of humanity.
But the question which troubled Cook
was, "Why not?"
When the time came for the Cooks
to widen the scope of their holdings,
they looked over many cities In west
ern United States and then decided
cn Omaha as being the most desir
able place for the Investment of their
money.
For a long time they were content
to lease and sublease property. Occa
sionally they purchased a building,
repaired it and rented it.
Hast fall for the first time in their
history as a real estate investment
firm they began work on a new
building.
Aquila Court, the first venture, was
to be sn ideal type of office and small
store building. Raymond Cook in
sisted that the place have a court in
which a pool for water lilies might
be built, trees might be planted and
flowers grown.
So the plans of the building speci
fied a courtyard.
Now the building is almost complet
ed. It will soon be ready for occu
pancy and the time has come for
vork to begin on the courtyard.
Dream Comes True.
Not only has the work started, but
Raymond Cook, like an inventor with
a new machine, has been present
throughout the time used in the work.
Me has watched the planting of each
shrub and flower. No tree has been
placed without his having first de
cided just where it would go. No
matter what the remainder of the
building looks like, and It Is beau
tiful, the courtyard is to be a thing
that all will remember.
The dream that began In a Chicago
office, located In the loop district, is
to com# true. Residents of on# city
in the United States will be able to
point to at least ons building in the
downtown district where green can
be. seen by the workers during the
day. .__

Bungalows Are
* Most Popular
Type of Home
Temple McFayden Declare*
That (iompactne** 1* Es
sential in House.
Small hornri, compact. >e» roomy
are In order now. Temple McFayden
company' declared last wcke.
For every home of two stories
that la built today there are two
bungalows of one story errected.
"The building public, and that is
all of the public." McFayden said,
"want small places. They are easy
to heat. That is half of the battle
and a very important half at that.
"Women used to be under the im
pression that a big house was a mark
of distinction. The big place up on
the hill used to be considered the
mark of social esteem.
"Now things sre different. Not
that fewer wives sfc doing the house
work than ever before but because
they realize a step is a step and
when dozens of steps are saved in s
day tha energy amounts to some
thing.
"That is why several years ago
ws architects and builders began to
urga smaller kitchens, why we also
urged lower ceilings and gradually
worked toward smaller rooms. The
main thing in designing a hom» now
is to keep things compact and con
venient.
"In one home that I have designed
I have kept in mind the fact that
many married couples work. . In
these instances the wife must have
a place that Is not only small but
easily cared for.
Plans a Studio Home.
“With this thought in mind I
planned a studio home. There is one
bedroom, a living room, and a room
that can be used either for a ser
vant’s room or a den as well as a
kitchen.
"The bedroom may be used as a
dining room if the owner wants to
use it as such. Should the family
who happens to build a place along
these lines be so situated that only
the husband works then a maid
would not be needed and the den. or
maid's room, may be used as a bed
room and the room scheduled as a
bedroom for a dining room.
"But the kitchen, in my mind, is
the greatest of all tile rooms. It
boasts of a breakfast nook that is
plenty large for the proper serving
of any meal. There nro cabinets
handily locate,! in relation to the
stove and sink. Every possible ad
vantage of space has been taken
with a view of saving all the steps
possible."
Ollier Home Similar.
Similar ideas have been carried out
in other homes that Temple McFaj
den has designed. Ills plans arc for
every imaginable class of dwelling.
There sre the large places. The
places that helped make a living for
the driver of the "rubber neck
wagon” in days gone by. There is
the little home that was once so pop
ular to the man of modest means.
And then there i* the type of home
that can be mistaken for for noth,
lng but what It is; a love nest.
In alt the predominating idea lias
been to save space wherever possible.
Not even In a home designed to be
cared for by n small army of scr
vants has this idea been lost.

That is what the real estate dealers
of the world call the offices of the
farm mortgage brokers and hankers.
They declare that these offices are
the surest indication of what may be
expected from rural land to be found.
With this belief to form a basis for
opinion, it is safe to say that present
and future prospects are wonderfully
good, the dealers say.
Farmers are meeting their interest
obligations and reducing their loans
on time. A delinquent interest ac
count Is becoming rare. Nebraska
farmers, at least, are feeling prosper
ous.
"The water has been squeezed out
of Nebraska and Iowa farm lands.”
I,ouis Clark of the Kloke Investment
company, declared.
"This fact has been shown by the
many sales in farm lands this spring.
Farmers are buying this land to work.
That means that they are buying at
a time when they believe that It has
sunk to Its lowest level.”
The Omaha Trust company reports
that In one district, comprising 14
counties, the interest payments have
been perfect. The district is ”100 per
cent."
The company's loans in this dis
trict amounted to $1,250,000.
Sales of farm land were good last

farm sold for $535 an acre. Another

New Type of Ironing
Board Hinges to Wall
The average old-time ironing board
Is a thing of minimum beauty and
maximum convenience. It is forever
falling down or tilting up. and usually
requires a couple of ingeniously
placed chairs, washtubs or tables to
make it stand still with any degree
of poise.
How much more dependable and
easily managed Is the small ironing
board that is hinged to tha wall in
such a manner that the quickness of
putting It In operation ia equaled only
by that of folding It back out of the
way when the work Is finished.
Hinged supports which collapse flat
against the board when the latter Is
put awav insure against unexpected
downfall, and a shallow cupboard with
solid door completes the arrangement.
