teottlt , It has boot growing steadily iIt
iniportahco for tire last three years as a
retail street , now buildings and imBlneaa
firms having rapidily sprung up along
that thoroughtaro , and whoa last spring

derful boon , which has kept incrcasing
with the progress of the pavement.
A few days ago Superuutendemt Graft

toenth street front Douglas to bard , a
distance of tett blocks , and a roprcaerta
tire of Timt : llce took occasion to not only
fnspect time work but to take notioo of the
ninny other imuprovononts. The pave.

crty owners mvlto paid for it 1t is n beau.
tiful , smooth pavonteiit , easy to travel
over , and easy to bo kept cloan. It is
without doubt the best paved street in
the city. Much credit is duo to Major
St. A , D. Balcombe , Joe Itedman , F. T.
Andrews , and .Iola Erck for their untiring -
ing efrerts in starting the paving project
on this street and carrying it through to a
auccesaful termination.
The gutters of the street are fully adequate -
equate to carry our the water and to provide -
vide against o orllooding front the hill-
! aide. A storm water sewer of brick has
been bceu built of suficient dimensions
from Sixteenth and Harnoy to Chicago
" street , and thence on Chicago street to
time river. At regular intervals there are
openings into this sewer along Sixteenth
street , to catchm the water in the vicinity.
So it will be soon that the surface drainage -
age of this street has been admirably
provided for.
The 8idowallca arc all of a uniform
width of twenty feet and arc laid with
heavy now vine planks , making at ox-
m cellont walk the whole length of the bus.
Incas part of the street. At each street
crossing an apron inclines from the sidewalk -
walk to tie pavement , so that there is
no danger of any one breaking hits neck
on a dark night by a sudden and unex-
potted fall. It in tie indisputable fact
that Sixteenth street has the best walks
in the city.
This street is the principal drive of the
city , leading into Sherman ave uowhich
t riots to the fair grounds and connects
with tire road to Fort Omaha. On
d any ploaaant afternoon or evening this
drive is crowded with a throng of the
finest turu omts in Omaha , all spccdiug
rapidly over the smooth pavement of
Sixteenth street , and over the easy grade
t- ( and bard roadway of Sherman avenue.
On either side of Sixteenth street are soon
scorns of handsome and attractive retail
stores , all crowded with custonnors frum
f all parts of the city , the street cars are
passing to and fro with their loads of
passeligors , buggies , carriages , and busi-
110Ba wagons are on the go hero and there ,
i and mho aidownll(8 are thronged with
pedeatriais , the whole certainly presenting -
ing at interesting and lively scone , and
affording convincing evidence of the
activity that prevails on that thorough-
( faro.
} Entering upon Sherman avenue , a t
the point where , until recently
stood the bridge over the North Ontal ma
j ; crook , we leave behind us this busy COUO ,
Thu crook that once was a nuisance eu n
uccsunt of its being a receptacle for all
sorts of omptyinga , and also on accouu
a of occasional froahots which overflow d
df
the neighborhood and did a great deal o f
damage , now runs through a substantial
S sewer , The ravine through which i t
coursed hsa been filled up , and Nichol as
street has boon made a passable thoroughfare
oughfaro along the old course of tit e
crook. The bridge has Hearn removed
and no evidences remain of there havuu g
i ; boom a crook or a ravine in that locality
k Looking west from this point , wo see tin
I , extensive and handsome works u
the Woodman Linseed Oil work 5
; which have been greatly enlarge
and improved during thu peat sutuno r
and then turning to the east we see th
depot and yard of the Chicago , Mlnnen p
oils , C Omaha railway , whose proPerty
being improyed , the intention being
snood about$20,000 in additional trac
t and'othor terminal facilities. Ihoyot
this arc the oxteusivo shops and yards
the Union Pacific.
t g Proceeding north on Sherman aveuiu e
which hias been wonderfully improved
the now grade , we ace on either sit
beautiful grounds and elogaut residence s
surrounded by shade trees. Now dwo
pings arc fast filling the apace botwee
1 ' A. J. Poppleton's palatial residence an
the fair grounds. The stretch botwe
the fair grounds and Mr. Popplutou
i.
place is the great roadster's racing track ,
and during tlfo suwnr evenings n lively
scone is hero witnessed by large crowds
of spectators , as Onialm is noted for its
many fast roadsters and fine turnouts ,
'J'lw prospects are favorable for the cx-
totrsnom of the Sixteenth street pavetnott
tip Sherman avenue to the fair grounds ,
as a large numbee of property holders
w anL it done , and it is thought that those
who owat horses 811(1 drive on ( hue avenue
will contribute liberally towards this ob-
ject. If this is done it makes one of
the grandest ( lrivuM iii tluo country.
From time fair grounds the plea9ure
drive extends to Fort Omaha , which
place is quito a resort during the sum.
per for those who drive ,
lncidortally it may be stated the citi-
tons interested in Sixteenth street and
Shermau avenue propose to petition congress -
gress , through Senator Mandorson and
our other Nebraska representatives , to
make the avenue a government road mid
pay , for the pavitug as far as the fair
grounds , if not further , and to improve
the road from the latter point to Fort
Omaha. It is possible that congress ,
now that the goverirment has more ulonuy
than it knows what to do with , will make
an approprtatiou for this purpose.
It is also proposed to petition the city
council to provide for the extension of
the Sixteenth street pavement to Nicluo-
Ins street , where it corrects with Slier.
noun avenue. So it will be aeon that the
e terprhaiug Sixteenth street property
holders are alive to their interests.
Sixteenth street runs through the heart
of the city , 811(1 everybody living north
of Dodge street patronize it iii some way
or oilier. All the cast and west streets
in that part of the city run into it , thus
making it a popular thoroughfare. It has
aonie of the host retail business houses in
tnvn ( , and many haudsonmo and substantial -
tial buildings , recently erected , are evidence -
donco of prosperity. Property Juan takeui
a wonderful rise cn that street , and is
still advancing. Nunuoroms ingpotait
81i(1 costly improvements are already projected -
jected for next year. It is quito likely
that General Myers , who owns thu property -
orty at the northeast corner of Sixteenth
and Davotport streets , will erect a large
and haudsomo block of stores thereof.
.iofferson Square will probably always
remain a park , and it can be mmdc a cc-
lightful resort by the planting of trees ,
the placing of scats , the laying out of
walks , the erection of a fountain , etc.
having shown the many advantages of
Sixteenth street , we will now cuter into
detail concerning some of its un stproni-
nent buaiuoss houses.
Edholhi . Erickson ,
There are no more enterprising young
business mom in Omalm dine Edlnoim &
Erickson , whose principal ] souse is loca-
Led at the southeast corner of Fifteenths

Some months ago they saw that Six-
teontlt street , as soon as the pavement
was completed , world have a big boom ,
mud they detormincd to take advantage
of it by esbibbshting a branchn house.
They accordingly rotted a store-room in
Crounse's elegant block , and put in a how
mud complete stock of jewelry , embracing
every variety and all the latest atylo9.
This branch house hiss proved a great
success. Their manufacturing department -
ment is located in this store , and gives
employment to a force of eight mum , including -
cluding watelrmakors and silver amid gold-
smiths. They make a epocialty of all
kinds of ( hmnond and jewelry work , and
carry a full line of ailvurwaro.
Edholm , C Erickson also handle pianos
and organsand other musical instruments ,
and also sheet music timid musical mor-

also a largo nssortntett of music boxes.

toruined to sell an immense amount of
