The Omaha Real tat ate exchange pie-
rnl to the public the following statement
an to the status of Omaha real estate,
with surgemlons at to Ha deslraUIIty es
an Investment:
"First In the face of our cfty's general
and continued prosperity our rul evtite
alum are very low. The principal reason
jfor thla la that following the panic of 1WS.
and the general depression resulting there
from, a vast amount of mortgaged and
foreclosed property waa thrown on the
market at Whatever It would bring, anl
prices were hammereJMlown to extreme y
low flgares. We era now recovering from
that condition. There Are practically n
fnrerlosurea, and the process of liquida
tion la about at an end. A a result thT3
Is an appreciable advance In values In lotle
localities and a firmer feeling all alont
the line. It Is still admitted, however, t-y
our moat competent Judges, that real er
tate In Omaha 'Is offered at much lower
figures than are Justified In a city of, our
class.'" 4 '
"In the second plaoe the general buIne?s
Conditions In Omaha are now more favor
able for profitable real estate Investments
than ever before In her history. The pies
ent situation is paralleled by but far in
advance of what it was twenty years ago,
at the beginning of that tremendous
growth which came te Omaha in the flva
or si "year following 1883. Then llqul la
tlon following the panic of 187J was about
completed. Then people were coming ti
Omaha, as they are now, and they found
houses for rent acarce and hard to get.
Just as they do now. Railroads were
knocking at our gates, wholesale house
wore seeking suitable buildings, manufac
turers were Inquiring about our facilities.
The same is true today, but in a much
larger sense. If In 18RJ and 1884 men ven
tured on real estate Investments, and S)
laid the foundation for competence and for
tune, wit a faith based on what waa then
barking a town of less than IP.P9 Inhab
. ftnts, whst do we venture when wa pin
iur faith to a ."thriving city with ten-fold
more back of it than could be claimed a

..."Note a few of many conditions now ex
isting which go to sssure a great future
for Omaha, and which ought to give un
bounded confidence in her future to ev-rv

1 hIddI as a railway center Within three
years, at Immense cost, two great railway
systems have secured entrance to Omaha,
and others are contemplating the same
move. South Omaha, planned and laid out
In 18X4. with no thought of Its business
growing: to such enormous proportions. Is
now reaching out for the second place In
the world as a stock market and packing
center. Our factories have doubled several
times In these twenty years. Our whole
sale business has quadrupled, our popula
tion has tripled. The expense of building
up a city baa been largely met, and in this
respect the story of the past twenty years
. Is marvelous'. Miles upon miles of streets
have been brought to gTade, sewers have
been laid. W every direction; hundreds of
thousands of dollars have been expended In
street paving and permanent sidewalks.
The purchaser today gets the advantage of
ail these enormous public ' Improvements
which are to a large extent paid for. In
these years electricity has been harnessed
and street cars ara at the doors In our re
motest suburbs. It Is only a question of
months when electric - Unas will bring the
traders and the shoppers of eastern Ne
braska and western Iowa' to our market.
"Then take a thought of the megnlcent
growth and development of all that great
territory tributary to ua, not only our own
prosperous Nebraska, but the vast regions
beyond, north and west, which year by
year are becoming more closely knit to us.

that real estate values have not yet re

' ( oaaittoae Favorable to Oatka
"A third reason which presses Itself upon
us Is that the general business situation
the country pver Is In our favor. Real ea-
tate In eastern cities has reached a figure
never before attained, and this wave of
prosperity la traveling westward. It has
already reached our farm lands, and price
records for lands are being repeatedly
broken. Shrewd Investors as well as
wealthy farmers, who have parted with
their farms under the persuasion of high
prices, tare looking cityward for Invest
ments and for houses.
;"The situation. In Wall street and the
condition of the stock market at all east
ern money centers are In our favor. It Is
a historical fact thst when the stock mar

. "Another factor In our favor la the enor
Bnous amount of money awaiting Invest
ment aad the consequent low rate of Inter
est Instead of paying t and 10 per cent
on purchase money mortgages aa we did a
few years since, we now pay ( per cent.
Rentals at present figures bring better re
turns than mortgage loana. with the addi
tional advantage that rental property v at
present values promisee a profit In Increased
Taluea. '
Kow la Time to IsTeat,
"Under these conditions we feel that we
are amply 'justified In earing to our cltf
Una that now la a moat opportune time

Suing time for securing home, or taking
the first steps to that laudable end. We
particularly urge upon the wage-aarner and

Wireless Telesram Earlaslve
Properly of Stations.
John Stone, lecturer in the electrical de
partment of the Massachusetts Institute of
of Tccnology. well known for Important In
ventions In the development of long dlstanco
telephoning, recently proved the value of
years of work devoted to the commercial as
pects of wireless telegraphy by sending
messag.-s from Cambridge to Lynn, Mass.,
a distance of about twelvo. milea, under
conditions hitherto deemed Impossible
Vntil this message, no wireless telegraph
bad been successfully operated within
tllree miles 01 an electric car line, or sent
under conditions at all similar to those of
an ordinary telegram conditions, however,
that are absolutely essential to reducing
A ioisnt'orv t.i the terms of a
matter of fact dally business. Under the I
new system, In short, wireless telegraphy
becomes a means of communication on
land, where alt the conditions of daily life
trolley cars, sky-scrapers, thunder storms
and the ever-present electrical d'sturbances
presented by the wires of telegraph and
telephone systems already In operation
have so far made It an impossibility. In
the matter of large surfaces of water Its
operation is of course less embarrassed by
extraneous canses. The new system, more
over, takes yet another important step In
the direction of making wireless telegraphy
a universal convenience, for it not only re
duces the height of the mast to practical
proportions, but It has solved the problem
of making each message the exclusive
property of the sending and receiving sta
tions. This Is esesntially the experimental
achievement of the technology Investigator;
what use will be made of It remains to be
seen.
Selective System Koeeasary.
Some time before the actual success at
tained by the operation of Mr. Stone's ap
paratus. Prof. Louis Duncan, head of the
electrical department of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, with which institu
tion the latest American Inventor is him
self connected as lecturer on the subjects
of electrical oscillations and wireless teleg
raphy, summed up the situation arter an
examination of the preliminary laboratory
work then already accomplished. "It has
been demonstrated." said Prof. Duncan,
"that, with the present apparatus, it Is not
poastbie successfully to send and receive se
lective signals; that Is, signals which are
received by only one station to the ex
clusion of all others. The commercial suc
cess of wireless telegraphy depends upon
developing a system which is selective. I
believe that the methods you have evolved
are the only practical methods which will
Bccomplish this object. The experimental
stations you have erected have shown a
selectivity of about 10 per cent. This I have
personally verified. Such a degree of se
lectivity Is quite sufficient for commercial
purposes; at the same time I am of the
opinion that your present apparatus, when
put In Its ultimate and commercial form,
will show an even greater degree of se
lectivity. In seeking to reduce wireless telegrsphy
to terms of everyday -utility the problem
which Mr. Stone has so far solved success
fully Is threefold. Obviously in these flays
no system of wireless telegraphy could be
come generally practical so long as It could
not be operated without disturbance by trol
ley cars, telegraphs or other electrical
methods of transportation or communica
tion. Nor could any such system become
altogether dependable ao long as it necessi
tated the use of poles so high that they
would be endangered by every big storm or
send out messages that were not confined
exclusively to the sending and receiving
stations and could not be overheard by the
apparatus of other stations. To obviate the
first of these difficulties Mr. Stone has
found a method of Isolating his stations
from all surrounding electrical disturb
ances; to obviate the second he has, so to
speak, greatly Increased the transmitting
efficiency of small currents and at the same
time shortened the length of his msst; and
to overcome the third trouble he has In
vented an apparatus so "selective" that it
transmits a message that can be neither re
ceived nor Interfered with by the lnstru
merits of any other system.
. Boaae Taoatraslvo Experiments,
Lacking the towering' nelght of the,
Marconi masts, and lacking alao the ex
cltement of the first discovery of a great
poirluility of Intercommunication, -Mr.
Stone's two stations In the small desert
of new made land between Boston and
Cambridge have attracted comparatlvery
little attention during the sixteen months
in which preparations have been making
for the first wireless message between Lynn
and -Boston. An electric car line passes be
tween these stations and another within
seventy-five feet of the base of the recelv
lng wire at Lynn. The Cambridge stations.
separated by about a. third of a mile, were
equipped with forty-foot masts and with
means for developing, radiating and re
ceiving electro-magnetic signal waves of
different lengths at the will of the operator
It was found In practice, aa had been
previously developed in theory by laboratory
experiment, that algual waves differing In
frequency by leas than 10 per cent could be
easily picked out at the receiving station I
and caused to operate one or the other of
the receiving apparatuses by a proper
adjustment of the receiving circuits. In
other words, as the different sound waves
produced by correspondingly different num
bers of vibrations of the tuning forks
produce sounds of different Intensity, the
vital principle of Mr. Stone's selective appa
ratus may be roughly reduced to terms of
music. If you imagine three boys stand
ing within speaking distance and two of
them capable of distinguishing a certain
note In the vocal scale that the other can
not distinguish, the two boys are In the
aame mutual relation as the two stations
of the Stone wireless system. If you
reduced that note to terms of the Morse
alphabet the two boya would have a method
of communication of which the third would
be ignorant. And It Is by scientifically
selecting the wave length to which only
hia own apparatus will respond that Mr.
Stone has changed wireless telegraphy
from a he Iter skelter sending of a given
meaage to all points of the compaaa to a
single communication between two Instru
ments that have for commercial purposes
the same directness end secrecy of a
meaaage by wire. Not long ago. It will be
remembered, Marconi waa himself inter
fered with In sending a wireless dispatch
owing to the fart that other fteople ac
cidentally or otherwise entered Into com
nvinication with his Instruments.
Without attempting to enter upon the
technical details of Mr. Bt one's. Inven
tion, the principle of this important dis
covery Is one which may be readily under
stood by anybody familiar wtth the action
of an ordinary tuning fork. Striking a
tuning fork, as nearly everybody knows
from public school experience, seta la
action a series of waves, and If these
waves cross a room containing harp or
piano, the single string that ts in tun
with the fork will vibrate in unison. No
other suing of the instrument will ba af
fected. New. Lbe electro-magnetic waves
have the sama, property. If the electrical
equilibrium of any electrical conductor aa,
fir example, the vertical wire of the tall
mast of a wireless telegraph station, is
sbruptly disturbed, snd the conductor then
left to Itself, electrlcnl currents will How
in It. tending eventually to establish its
original equilibrium. . These currents send
out into space electro-magnetic waves ex
actly corresponding to them In frequence,
now translated into wave lengths and mov
ing at about the speed of a flash of light.
The new discovery simply goes a long step
further than the old in controlling the
length of each wave sent out from Its
transmitting station, and thus making It
possible, as In the case of the tuning fork
and the piano, for any apparatus to respqnd
to it. unless It has been so arranged that It
responds naturally to Just that number of
vibrations per second.
How the Macalaery Works.
The apparatus of Mr. Stone's wireless sys
tem consists, therefore, of the familiar
mast, carrying the vertical conductor, and
the equally familiar apparatus for giving
the signal. But between these pieces of
apparatus Is a third device that trans
forms the original algnal into certain reg
ular periods of electrical disturbance, and
these In turn pass from the vertical con
ductor off into space in elect ro-magr.etlc
waves of a known frequency. These
waves, passing through space, will pro
dure an electrical disturbance only In an
electrical circuit ao arranged that it re
sponds naturally to thla artificially estab
lished frequency. Its response producing an
exactly similar electrical disturbance, and
this In turn reproducing the original mes
sage. The message Is therefore the ex
clusive property of the two stations whose
respective apparatus is thus In harmony, nor
what. Is equally Important can either of
these sets of apparatus be affected by
waves of any other degree of frequency,
that la, by messages not Intended for them.
For the recent successful signaling be
tween Boston and Lynn a 10C-foot mast
was erected at the Cambridge transmitting
station and a mast some six feet shorter
at the Lynn receiving station. The Lynn
station is almost completely surrounded
by houses and the "air line" traverses the
factory part of Cambridge, the city of
Charlestown, several , other intervening
cities and finally a considerable portion of
the famous old shoe town In which the
receiving station is located. The line Is
therefore typical of one in actual com
mercial operation, running from one sec
tion to another in much the same fashion
as a modern telegraph line and thus doing
away with the very high masts, not only
expensive to erect, but always liable to
destruction by the elements, now necessary
to establish wireless communication over
long distances. It Is the plan of the In
ventor to have a series of these stations,
say fifty miles apart, so as to transmit a
long distance message from one to another
until It is finally taken at Its destination
and also to send and receive, local dis
patches at each station. In this case, of
course, the local operator will be Indis
pensable. For the "through messages,"
however, Mr. Stone has devised a new
method of relaying, or automatically re
peating, the original message from on
station to the next, and this message makes
It possible apparently to telegraph over
land to practically unlimited distances.
Sending a meosags by fifty-mile repetitions
is not Indeed so sensational an exploit as
the wireless message said to have been
received on the . liner Philadelphia over
1,661 miles of restless ocean, but it Is gen
erally admitted that It is on the side of
land communication that the discovery of
wireless telegraphy has Its greatest sphere
of probable usefulness, and It is also ad
mittedly mora difficult to operate over land
than over sea,
