Established j Farmers on Cc- pera'.iva Eaiia, NEW CONCERN MAKES RAPID GROWTH Cathbert Vincent. State Oraaalaer, Tells What Has Bern aad What Is Expected to Be Done. OMAHA REAL ESTATE NOTES The result of the Ramsey elevator bl'.l. passed by the legislature, according td Cuthbert Vincent, state organiser for the Farmers Co-operative Shipping association, Is that at the beginning of the year only three of the elevators built by associations of farmers werj without trackage facili ties. These were at Hlldreth. Cambridge and at Howard. He says: "The Ramsey bill was put through the legislature In the Interest of associations of farmers who wished to start co-operative elevators, but who could get neither loca tions on the right-of-way of the railroads nor rpur tracks to elevators built on pri vate property The bill became an active taw of the state In the early summer and provides that railroads must give locations for such stations as they do for stations of the elevator 'trust.' and that they must give equal facilities. No station of less than $3,000 cost, however. Is considered Cold westher has put a stop to building operstlons In Omaha, bat has not quenched ths talk of new buildings yet to come. None of these have 'gone much further than ths preliminary stages yet, but the projectors Insist that they are In earnest. The re port of Secretary Utt to the Commercial club, to the effect that several Jobb'ng houses had not been sble to gain admission to Omaha because they could not secure suitable quarters, opened this phase of the topic again, and other Interests than ths real estate men are now enlisted In the search for a solution. When allwho have Omaha's good at heart begin to pull In the same direction, the object Is, certain to be accomplished. Some rumors concern'n Sixteenth street property In the retail dis trict, both north and south of Farnam, are heard, with no one willing to say much for publication yet. A fortnight will.

Hendrlck, lately appointed by Pope Plus X as bishop of the diocese of Cebu. Phlllpplno Islands, Is the guest of Oinaha. Bishop Hendrlck and party ar rived In the city over tho Uurlington from Chicago at 7:30 Saturday evening am! we're Immediately driven to the Mlllan hotel, lilihop Htndrick, Joseph Dlssett, 1 iscre Ury, and his housekeeper, Mary man, are enroute for Manila, and are l . jail on the Corea from San Francisco w . .iln the next two weeks. Mr. and Mre ICugene Dwyer of Rochester, N. Y.t who' are also of the party, will accompany the. bishop aa far as San Francisco. - " "I have been for thirty years a priest In the Cathollo church," said Dlshop Hen drlck. "Now I am going to Cebu to take charge of a. diocese comprising twenty- five Islands and containing a population of perhaps 1,500.000 people. Wa have M0 priests In this diocese alone, but we want 1,800 more, and It will be my special endeavor to carry out the will of Pope Leo, who de clared for a native priesthood, schools to educate them In and more and better churches. I know practically nothing of the conditions of the country, never hav Ing boon there. For nearly thirty years I have been a resident of Rochester, W. Y., and for the last twelve years have been pastor of St. Margaret's church In that city. "In linev with the views held by Pope Leo," continued Bishop Hendrlck, "I will help nromote the movement looking to the supplanting of the Spanish priests In the Philippine Islands with native priests." Referring to hla trip Bishop Hendrlck said he hoped to meet Governor Taft, who landed In San Francisco yesterday from the Corea. "This explain why I am In Omaha." said the bishop, "and I shall remain here until Tuesday .morning." the Cnamberlala'a Coach Itemed? Very Best. "I have been using Chamberlain's Cough.

Either be cause each of these wanted anotffcr to make the test or because the representa tives of the trust made them believe that they would be foolish to take the matter up. nothing was done. In October the Farmers Co-operative Shipping nssoclatlrn, which has Its headquarters In Kanras City, and does business In Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska, took possession of a station at Upland. Neb., which was off the right- of-way of the rallrond. The association ap plied for switches and a sidetrack and was refused. It at once filed papers In a suit. Including the question of sn elevator at Blaine, where, under the law, it demanded a location. The suit was to have been heard In September, but the read sents Its officials to Kansas City and Investigates the standing of the. association, with the result that It compiled with the law. The litigation was dropped and there has been none since, and the railroads have seen fit to comply, at least In part, with the pro visions of the statute." Elevators at Other Places. Associations of farmers have elevators nt a number of places In the state, among these being Eustls, Albion, Kearney, Cam bridge. Mlndcn. Harvard, Hlldreth, Axtell and Indlanola. These are single elevators having connection wlth no other. The Farmers' Co-operative association has five stations In this state, the first being Up land. Preparations are about complete to build at Havelork and at two other plaoea funds are being subscribed. The Co-opera tive association holds a membership In the Omaha Grain exchange. - "About a doxen associations," said Mr. Vincent, "completed organization and built In Nebraska during 1903. All of tha elevators built by . farmers during tha year except that at Indlanola were re fused location by the railroads and were built on private ground. A few of them have not got side-tracks and have to haul their grain In wagons to' the cars anl shovel It In. Their formation baa been alow, owing to opposition. In places where a co-operative scheme ' waa . being talked up, the Grain Dealers' association has spread about pamphlets which-, mis lead the farmers. The railroads have and perhaps not unnaturally refused to eon elder any proposition until the capital was all In hand. 'Tho co-operative association has not made the progress In "this state that It has In the south. So far tha local as sociations In the towns have not Joined us. Most of them were originally formed with the Idea of being members of the line, but as they enlarged, their stook holders In forming the fcompahy and build ing their elevators, they have taken In men who were avers to the co-operation. either from lack of knowledge or for other reasons. Sooner or later, however, we ex pect them to Join us. Single elevators are at too great a disadvantage against the strings of elevators with terminal clean ing, mixing, scouring and polishing houses operated by the large grsln companies. Tbca and Now. "Ten and fifteen years ago many co operative larmers' elevators were built in the state, but today there Is only on of these which has not failed, been sold, Of become a member of the trust and that one survived only through tha circumstance of railroad competition. Local lndepend ent companies are sure to fall. In the first place, each has to install the ex pensive cleaning machinery which the com nanles operating a line have to Install only In their terminal house. Then they have to employ expensive men, while their competitors have these only at the one station. They have no representatives at the big markets and for another thing, practically all the grain grown about one town Is of ths same grade, either all good or all poor, and the single house has no chnnce of mixing qualities as the lines of elevators can. and so lose much profit "The old companies .lave a spite against the Farmers' Co-operstlvo Shipping as sociation because It works on the line system aa they have done and endangers their existence. The organisation began business July 8. 1903. with one elevator In Oklahoma and has grown until In that territory and In Kansas and Nebraska It Is now running nineteen stations and U preparing to open up fifteen others. Its paid up capital Is $75,000. During the year It handled 1,260,000 bushels and 250.000 bush els more on options. It has raised the price $H cents a bushel In the districts In which It' has operated, so saving to the farmer T per cent on the value of his crop. It" has .paid the expenses of organising and operating and building, and as a result of the six months' business has a profit of SO per cent. The advance In price of grain has 'been to members and nonmembers, for In places where the as sociation has .operated, and made a better price, the other companies have raised their prloe. The co-operative association does not alwaya get the credit that Is due to J t. - The profits to the stockholders are the usual profit, but In other com panies they go to men In cities, while with the farmers' elevators they go beck to the farm where the grain came from. The Farmers' Co-operative Shipping as sociation Is not fighting anyone; it Is simply trying for the right to do business."

A trip atound the city will repay any one Interested' in Omaha's growth and will be a surprise In the number of com fortable homes In process of construction In alt ports of the city. This building was mostly beg'in late last fall and Is but orerunner of the large amount of building that will be done this coming season. There Is demand not only for dwelling houses, but for business property ns well, snd at the present time there. are several large out-of-town concen.s seeking locations In the wholesale district, which they cannot find because every available building Is oe cunled. Take It all In all. I nredlt-t the most prosperous year In real estate matters Omaha has experienced since the boom." T. W. Haxen, with F. D. Wead, says 'The tendency In Omaha realty Is at present very encouraging. We are having mora calls for property for investment and homes than we have had for five years at this season of the year; We have recently made several deals and have 1 number pending which we consider ex ceptlonally good for January. The real es tate condition Is Improving and desirable property Is In good demand at a fair price." J. P. O'Keefe of the Payne Investment company, says: "Omaha real estate Is surely going to be worth more money. The fact that such well-known men as R. S. Hall, Rome Miller, John I. Redlck, Judge ! Neville and many others have been In vesting In property In different parts of the city for the past several months Is evidence that these people, who have seen Omaha real estate at Its highest and low est, believe that It Is going up. We have mde many sales tp people who are buy ing on' the same theory. . Recently we sold a 6-room cottage at Forty-second and Pat rick avenue to a Mr. Ltllis, who came here from Kansas City and purchased It for a home. We also sold for.Mrs, A, Dwyer a lot, fifty-five, feet front, -south of Burt on the west side of Thirty-eighth, to a party who expects to build a fine 'home oA It. The ptfrchaser paid $33 a front foot for this ground with no paving or no sidewalks on the street. A ' number of such sales as these have been made In this vicinity, which Indicates that there Is more demand for property. And the fact that the Ca thedral Is going to be built on Fortieth, between Webster and Burt, we think Is helping this neighborhood. We also sold a -room cottage on Forty-fifth and Parker,' with three lots, to F. M, Hawes for a home. And tho southwest corner of Thirty-eighth and Chicago, and the property at 81$ and Z820 Leavenworth and two cottages on Twenty-seventh and Burt streets, to a local Investor. C. E. Mathews purchased the Patrick property on Twenty-fourth and Brown streets for a home. These were all cash purchases. A Ideal Investor pur chased two cottages on Twenty-eighth and Bristol for an Investment. We have also had good sales In farm lands. Recently we took charge? of the sale of Bllby's land In Stanton county and wa have sold four teen quarter sections to people who pur chased for homes at- prices ranging from $40 to $52.60 an acre. The $40 land is unim proved and of very good rich black soil. These farms were all sold for spot cash." W. Farnam Smith of W. Farnam Smith tc Company has faith In Omaha. He says: "There still seems to be a certain lack of confidence in a greater Omaha prevalent in the minds or some or our own cltliens It Is Indeed Vnfortunat that such condi tion should be admitted even in private; much worse to have It published, but the 'Yes, Kansas City and Minneapolis are 'way ahead of Omaha' la becoming much less frequent with every day of tha wonderful progress Omaha Is making.

BALDWIN HAS AN ADVENTURE Besponslblllty for a Neajleeted Team Sends Emerajencw Officer on Lon; Trip. Martin Weinfooter, Fifth and Nicholas streets, a gai bage - hauler, was arrested Saturday for cruelty to animals. It la re ported that Weinfooter I has been in the habit of leaving his team stand outside in the cold whllo he stopped to regale him self at laloons along hla route. Yesterday morning, It Is stated, he left the animals at a place near Thirteenth and Cass streets while ho went to Boutn umana to ao some shopping, returning for tho team in the afternoon, when he was arrested at the In stigation of the Humane society. Th wagon and team were taken to the police station and left outside for a min ute, awaiting Emergency Officer Baldwin, who had been detailed to look after the comfort of the neglected animals. In the meantime, however, the team started out In the direction of their bed and board. When Baldwin went outside to look after his charge and found them gone he rushed back into the station and asked where the animals were, thinking pernaps mat mey might have been put somewhere else or placed In a warm coll by Jailer Kirk. They are not In here, rejoined Kirk, with a merry twinkle in his eve. It was now up to Baldwin to find the team. He found It. Getting a scent -on the rig, he started In tha direction of the north bottoms, where he found the outfit at a barn near W'cln- footer's home. In his trip along the dark bottom roads Baldwin says ha encountered mora dogs than he had seen In his life be fore, woke up several eowa upon which he had stumbled and nearly became Involved In an entangling alliance with a neighbor of Welnf ooter's who at first refused to let Baldwin have the team, hut when the offi cer showed his credentials snd explained the situation the strsnger offered no resistance. Trampled,' but triumphant,' Baldwin at last pulled up at the police station with the team, which was then taken 1 to a nearby stable snd fed.
