Prancls C. arable returned yesterday
from an extended business trip through the
cast. Kew men have done more to advance
the material prosperity of the we t , hnve
Invested inoie , or Influenced the Investment
of more money In the territory tributary
to this city and state than has Mr. Grable.
Probably no man In Nebraska is so thor
oughly In touch with eastern capitalists or
exerts as gnat an Influence with eastern
Investors.
Asked about the financial situation nml
outlook In the east , Mr. Grablo snld :
" \Vhllo there Is no boom , the recent elec
tion has had a good effect In unloosening
the purse-strings of eastern moneyed men
and rnonejc'l Institutions. There Is a wide
spread feeling of confidence there among
Investors. Great stores of money are being
released and the money market Is easier.
The money of the great lending Institutions j
Is ready for applications und Is even being I
advertised. The banks of New York hold
over $151,000,000 In actual cash. This Is an
Increase of $25,000.000 since Just before
election. "
"Will the rafler feeling In the eastern
money markets have n beneficial effect on
the went ? Is there reason to look for good
tinier In the near future ? " was asked.
"That depends upon the west Itself. "
answcn.il Mr. Grable. "Take , for Instance ,
iral estate and bullillm ; . There has hren a
tremendous development ot building In Now
York and Philadelphia during the past few
years. New York especially has been run
ning up big office buildings that have
amazed the world. Since ISO ! nearly $100-
000,000 has been Invested In this way In
Hat city. During IS'JG about $30,000.000
was Invested. "
"What docs ono of these big office build
ings cost ? "
"That's a hard question to answer. It
f.cpuids a good deal upon the amount ex
pended In ornamentation. Take the Metro
politan building on Madison avenue. The
lobby of this building alone , with the mar
ble and other stone , cost $100,000. I believe
that the ground on which It ytands. which
Is about 125 by 125 fct't , cost In the neigh
borhood of $030.000. The building Itself
cost from $1,250.000 to $1,500.000. The Equi
table Life building on llroadway is proba
bly the mast expensive building In New
York. I believe thai the building and
ground cost In the neighborhood of $3,000-
000. This was about equally divided be
tween the ground and , the building.
LOOKING FOR OTHER INVESTMENTS !
"Tho average Inquirer will nml It Impossi
ble to get Information from the big estates
that build these largo offlco buildings. How
ever , I can say that It costs anywhere from
3ctnlH to $1 a cubic foot to build n good
olilee building. Of course , the higher tie
building IB the more It costs per cubic foot.
The .Metropolitan building that I spoke ot
cost about $1 n cubic foot.
"The point to all this llca In the dividends
earned. The- general run of these big office
buildings dues not pay -I per cent ; In fact , I
per rent is considered good , and thcfce Inter
ested are well satisfied with their Invest
ment. The iccognlred trouble ahead of the
eastern Investor IH the fact that If these big
olilco buildings continue to go up the divi
dends will go down. The great lending corn-
panics have como to appreciate this. For a
lime U was eusy to * ocure big loans for the
production of big business buildings on a
large ucnlo In Now York. H Is now recog
nized that there Is an overproduction , of
them , and while money Is easy the big com
panies are looking elsewhere for Investment.
They now rcnllro that the margin of safety
In every big mortgage already made Is re
duced every time tley | make possible the
erection ot another big building.
"In IMS abuut $45,000.000 $ were put into
thieo big bulldlnp.o , while In 1SSC only about
I'M OlW.OOO were so Invested. This falling
off , while due in some measure to the re
cent hard times , must also bo attributed In
part to the reluctance of big lending com
panies to further increase the floor space In
downtown New York.
"In n word , the tremendous total of Idle
capital In New York and Philadelphia and
elduwhero in the east finds itself without a
further safe outlet for the present In big
business buildings. I do not believe that
New York tenements average 3 per cent on
the Investn cut. Of rourhe , there Is ncco-
slonnlly n good tenement IIOUFC property
that Is kept In good repair und looked after
thoroughly that will bring as high as T per
cunt. These , however , are the exception. In
Phlla.lelphla and Baltimore the rentals are
cheaper , and the percentage , If anything ,
smaller. Private residences thai rent forever
over $1,500 pay about 4 per cent. Those that
rent for less pay ICES.
EAS'IKUN IDLE MILLIONS.
"New York suburban property , within
twenty-five' miles of the city , costfc anywhere
from $5 to $50 n front foot. That's for
lots 150 feet deep and unimproved. There
are some places In Orange , N. J. , on the
bc-it streets , where lots bring as much as
JbO a front foot. Harred out of downtown
districts In New York , nonic Idle capital is
looking in that direction , with a view to
putting up suburban tenements and homes.
The outlet la small and like big ofllco build-
inns , can easily be overdone. Money Is
loaned on call by the banks at an average
of 2 per cen per annum time loans at 4
per cent.
"With these facts staring them In the
face , the big loaning companies arc looking
went for Investment. If good , solid en
terprises are promoted In the went at the
prment time , eastern capital will not be
wanting , U Is dally seeking an outlet
whrro It will make bigger earnings. During
the eleven months of tula year , about $205-
000,000 watt loaned on New York City mort
gages , Of this sum only $52,000,000 earned
rnoro than C per cent Interest. Ninety-nine
million * earned but " > per cent and $53,000,000
earned less than C > per cent.
"With Idle millions In the cast , glad to
find safe Investment at G per cent anil less ,
there U no reason why the west should
fall to thrive , or why the fertile lands of
Nebraska should not bloom like a rose.
There la no lack of money. No good ,
substantial enterprise , backed by western
men of Integrity who are willing to put
In their own money need languish because of
the lack of eastern capital to push It. "
"What Is true of the financial condition
In New York Is also trim In Philadelphia.
Whllo Philadelphia , hasn't as much bourn ns
New York , It has n great many rich men
and n great many millions of Idle capital.
Philadelphia covers n much larger territory ,
and consequently there have not been so
many big office buildings run up as In New
York. There have- been some like the Ilctz
building. A good deal of the Idle capital
In Philadelphia has In the past gone Into
the building of homes. This , like the
ofllce buildings In New York , has been , to
some extent overdone. Rents In Philadel
phia arc very low , and returns on building
Investments small. Consequently Philadel
phia , llko New York , finds herself with
many Idle millions seeking Investment.
NEEDS OK THE WEST.
"There never was a time when there were
so many Idle millions In the east , awaiting
Investment , as there ore today. All that
Is needed In the west Is a little loss talk
and a little more work. If the buslncs-l men
of the west will show that they have con
fidence In the future of their own country
by putting up their money and going to
work , there will be no scarcity of eastern
millions to back them. I thoroughly be
lieve that this country Is entering upon n
period of great prosperity. If western men
will only show as much confidence In them
selves and In their country as the millions
In the cnht are willing to show , the next
ten years will see the greatest development
of Its resources that the west cvr knew. "
Mr. Grable left yesterday for Edgemont
and the Illack Illlla with a lyrty ot eastern
capitalists who acrompanlu him home.
Among the Improvement ! ) that 'will bo Inaug.
uratrd this tlmo will ben smelter at Edge
mont and a 400-ton stamp mill for Union
Hill , the now Itornestako property near
Deadwood. The arncltcr will treat the low
grade ore that will not bear transportation
charges to the smelter at Omaha.
Speaking of Edgemont , Mr. Grable said'
"It Is n growing city ; artistically planned
with lakes and parks and every year will
be rnoro attractive. During the past two
years It has been building , thi'ro lins not
been a vacant house. The building of
canals and storage reservoirs has provided
water to Irrigate 10000 acres of land upon
which the Edgemont farming colony has
been located. The farmers are contented
and prosperous. Comfortable homes , school
houses and churches hnve been built for
them. The same thing In being done at
Crawford. The farming land tributary
to these places Is unequnlcd In productive
ness , and with the application of water from
canals and reservoirs , will grow Immense
crops , regardless of drouth , and Insure
prosperity to the country and the towns
and the people. All of the territory be
longs to Omaha and the growth and devel
opment adds to the wealth of this city. "

ished by representative audiences
night after night. The work ta n DrHlsli

The weekly meeting .of the executive com
mittee of. the Commercial clubrheld at the
club rooms yesterday afternoon , was given
up to a dlscuraion of the idea of establishing
a beet sugar factory In or near Omaha and
endeavoring to interest foreign capital In the
enterprise oa suggested by H. 11. Plunket ,
M. P. , of Ireland , a largo holder of Omaha
realty. HcMdes the members of the execu
tive committee , there were present H. H.
Plunket , Guy C. Barton , G. F. Dldwcll , gen
eral manager of the Northwestern road : C.
W. Lyman. H. W. Yates , G. M. Hitchcock ,
C. P. Weller. W. H. Iloberson , A. E. Hen-
KOII , C. E. Yost , II. E. Palmer and John
Steel.
Chairman Dumont presented the matter
to the mcotlng , quoting facts and figures
showing the profits and advantages of such a
plant as was proposed. He was followed by
Mr. Plunket , who spoke hopefully of the
probability of interesting foreign capital In
the enterprise. John Steel and H. E. Palm
er gave the rcstilUi of their Investigations
Into the advantages to bo derived from hav
ing a factory located in the vicinity of Oma-
1m , niid Commissioner Utt gave an Interest
ing explanation of the practical workings of
a beet sugar plant. 'Ho ' answered a large
number of questions regarding the adapta
bility of the land near Omaha to sugar beet
culture , showing that a very largo quantity
of beets of high grade are raised each year
In the western part of Douglas county. Dan
Parrcll , Jr. , advocated the erection of a sugar
factory In such a manner that It could be op-
crated as a glucose factory during the period
when beets cannot be obtained. Ho said ho
was ready to put $10,000 Into such a plant.
It appealing that doubt existed In the
minds of some of those present regarding the
sucjcaa which would attend an attempt to
ralso bccta In the Immediate vicinity of
Omaha , It was decided to Invite Prof. Nich
olson of the State university to appear be
fore the cotLinltteo at a subsequent meeting
and throw Borne light upon the subject , ho
being a recognized authority.
Heforo taking up the beet sugar matter
the executive committee adopted the follow
ing resolution , which was Introduced by J.
n. Damn :
Hcsolved , That the Commercial club of
Omaha tenderH to Senator Allen Its tlmnk.s
for his able defense of the good name of
our state In his address to thu United States
u-'nate. and plodgo.s Its belief based on a
thorough knoivletlco of the Innnl i > nniiliirm < i

At n special meeting of thu Hoard of Public
Works held yesterday afternoon Chairman
Munro appointed John McCllntoclc as sec
retary , the appointment to take effect at
once. Sir. MeCllntock succeeds A. C. Pow
ers , who held the position for several years.
Mr. Powers was appointed when J. II. Wlns-
pear was made chairman of tile board , and
held over until this time. It Is an
nounced that his services have been most
efficient , but that by vlrtuo of a deal mad
during the recent campaign. It was neccs
Eary to glvo the job to another man. It I
understood in city hall circles that ther
Is a close relation between the appolntmen
of Mr. MeCllntockand - the action of th
mayor In not appointing a new member o
the board this year.
The trouble over the specifications fo
macadam pavement was resumed. There 1
a. perious split between the board and tin
city engineer in regard to this matter. A
the request of the board , the engineer prepared
pared specifications which contemplated i
macadam that would cost nearly $3 pci
yard , or considerably more than asphal
pavement , while the board wanted spcclflca
lions for a cheap pavement llko that pu
down by the county , something that woulc
not cost more than $1 per yard.
lombers of the board assert that the spe
clllcatlons submitted by the engineer rt.
clearly In the Interests of the asphalt pay.
Ing contractors , In that they practically pro
hlbit macadam pavement. Consequently
they prepared some specifications of thcli
own , which provide for a pavement that
will not cost more than $1 per yard. The
engineer in turn refused to approve the spe
cifications prepared by the board and It was
decided to refer the whole matter to the
city council and let that body decide be
tween the board and the engineer.
