LARGE PER CENT OF CASH DEALS NOTED Majority of the Ular Sales Are for (ha Is of rarehaaers and Several Raw Wartksaui Ara to Be the Reaalt. Predictions of local real estate men loat fall that the year 1906 was to be a lively one in real estate circles are being con firmed for the early season by current sales of property. For two or three weeks business has been getting better day by day, and the last week opened up with a decided activity. Early In the week came the announce ment that the Northwestern was buying four blocks near the Webster street sta tion for an extension of trackage ground and site for a new freight depot. Involving about 0,000 In .real estate and making the largest deal of lis kind since the ground was bought for the Great Western ter minals. A part of the property. In the two blocks between Davenport and Cass streets and between Thirteenth, and Fourteenth, and belonging to J. A. Crelghton, the Crelghton estate, the Bchllts Brewing com pany and Oeorge Warren Smith, is yet to be secured, though the real estate dealers concerned expect the whole deal will be cleared up this week. Not less In Interest, for the reason that It showed the Increase In values of prop erty In the West Famam business district, was the sale of the First Christian church property at Nineteenth and Farnam streets. Three years ago, strongly urged by Rev. Harry Hill, then pastor, the church bought the lot for 118.000. It was sold to a syndi cate, the names of whose members are not. known, for $40,000, leaving $28,000 for the church after the payment of the $,000 debt, $10,000 for a new site at Twenty-sixth and Harney streets, and $1,000 In commissions. Oroand for Warehouses. Other transactions are Important because of the building operations they portend. Miller, Stewart . ft Beaton bought forty four feet on Farnam street opposite the Union Pacific headquarters, adjoining on the west the firm's purchase of forty-four feet last fall. - Mr. Beaton has announced that the firm will build on this ground a warehouse 88x132 feet. Saturday Francis A. Brogan bought for eastern men two sixty-six-foot lots at the southwest corner of Eighth and Leavenworth streets and announced that a warehouse - would be erected to cover the whole purchase. Mr. Brogan refused to name the real buyers, and as the property is In the Implement district, th Jobbers In that line are won dering If the new warehouse la to be for implements. As far as they know, the ck Island Plow company Is the only firm In need of new quarters, and Manaarer Bherdeman of this concern denies that his company Is the purchaser. The Omaha Loan and Building associa tion, which has always done business In rented quarters, now hss a home of its own, the Douglas block, at the southeast corner of Sixteenth and Dodge streets. The association will make Its headquarters on the first floor, remodeling the old bank room there, which will make a very pleasant home. The upper floors will be rented, as at present, for office purposes. Speaking of this purchase, the real es tate men note that the ground, on whloh the building stands sold twenty-five years ago for $4,500. The association, though It bought the building, paying $38,000, has only leased the ground tor twenty-five years, having ths option of renewing the lease under a re-valuation at the end of that time. The gross rental for the coming twenty-five years Is about ten times the amount of ths coat of the ground twenty flv? years ago. Deals Mostly for Caafc. "It has been forced very vividly on my attention," said John F. Coad, "that most of the real estate transactions this spring are cash deals. Most of the sellers re quire as much cash down as possible, and mortgages on recent purchases are fewer than I have ever known. What do I think Is the reason for this condition T I believe It can be found In the law for the taxation of mortgages. The Nebraska law requires of residents, though It exacts no tribute of non-residents, that they shall pay tax pn mortgages as on other personal prop erty. Mortgages on Omaha property draw about per cent Interest, while the tax amounts to about 2 per cent. Men are very squeamish about letting out their money for 4 per cent net, and consequently they do not sell their property and tako mortgages as security unless they get an exceptionally good price." The burning question with the Real Es tate exchange these days Is how to estab lish a system of business which provides for the exclusive sale of property. There is perhaps not a dealer In town but has spokeu In anger of present existing condl- tlona, which permit wholesale listing, re suiting In decreased commissions for agents and minimum prices for property holders. The majority say they are willing and anxious to have another system, yet the majority are afraid that "the other fel low" won't "stand for It." At the meeting of the Real Estate exchange last week a committee was appointed to revise that section of the by-laws which pertains to the listing of property. The report of this committee will be made a special subject of business for the meetlnff this week. The official board of tne First Christian Siiimer & Chase Go.

Ths Butte (Mont.) Reduction Works hss what I believed to be the highest con crete chimney In the world. The Inside dlameter( both top and bottom) la eighteen feet, and the height of the chimney Is SS3 feet 4 Inches, or 861 feet T Inches above the surfsce; the top of the chimney has also the rather uncommon altitude of 5,791.1 feet above the sea level. The foundation of the chimney goes seven feet below the surface, the lower pottion being formed of slag poured In the molten stats Into a gray Iron casing 100 feet square, giving an area of 10,000 square feet. This process was repeated six times, giving a foundation eighteen feet deep, tapering to 86 feet square at the top, and full of various forms of metal sown through the slag. As seven feet of this are In the ground, there is necessarily a height of eleven feet above the ground. The base, which rests upon the slag foundation. Is of Portland cement concrete, 42H feet square and 81 feet high In the center, the concrete also having metal distributed through It, some of which projects up above the base, to help retain the walls of the chimney, having a re semblance to the roots of a tree. The chimney proper was formed in a system of sectional molds SH feet high, which. when coupled together, formed a complete ring. The concrete "walls contain vertical nd horisontal steel bars, the number re ducing as the helcM Increases, end also rings of one-inch T-lron wired to the bars. For the first twenty-one feet In height of the chimney the wails are eighteen Inches thick, and In these walls are two Inlets to the chimney, one on each side, each opening xl7 feet. On top of the elghteen Inch wall starts the double shell of the chimney, the outer shell being nine Inches thick, the Inner Shell five Inches tVilrk. these shells being separated by a four- Inch sir space, which at the bottom Is con. nected with the atmosphere through the outer shell by port holes. The Inside shell extends up to a height of 101 feet above the base, and the outer shell Is offset over the Inner shell, as csn be. seen on the exterior of the chimney, the air space being left entirely open on the Inner side of the chlmnev and the In ner shell perfectly free from the outer shell at the ton. The outer shell Is then carried seven Inches thick to the lop of the chimney. The outside diameter of the chimney at the bottom ts twentv-one fet, and the diameter of upper shell Is nine teen feet two Inches. The weight of the chimney Is as follows: Blag foundation, 1J.800 tons; concrete base, 1.000 tons; chimney proper. 1.475 tons. This chimney, besides being the largest snd highest concrete chimney In the world, Is one of the largest chimneys of Its height In the United States, as can be seen by comparing Its dimensions with those of the following examples of some large chim neys In this country: The Washoe Copper company's at Anaconda, which Is the largest -In ths world. Is constructed of brick and Is thirty feet Inside diameter and 800 feet high: the Metropolitan Street Railway company's, New York City, of brick. twenty-two feet Inside diameter, ST4 feet high; the Clark Thread works, Kearney, N. J., of brick, eleven feet Inside diameter, 836 feet high; Omaha and Grant Smelter, Denver, Colo., of brick, sixteen feet Inside diameter, 850 feet high; Oxford Copper com pany's. Constable Hook, N. J., radial brick, twenty feet Inside diameter at the base, thirteen feet at the top, S00 feet high; Ta- coma Smelting works, Tacoma, Wash., con crete, eighteen feet Inside diameter, 900 fcii high. ATTRACTIVE STREET SIGNS How Minor and Mnltlfold Things Cnn Be Made PleaalnsT to the Bye. Minor and multifold things, like street signs, can be made objecu of art however simple their character. Care may easily be had to give them proper proportions, an agreeable color compatible with legibility and good lettering. In the case of wayside guide boards there Is yet further oppor tunity to make them attractive In design. In Boston, when street signs stand de tached from buildings, a pleasant decora tive effect Is given by some simple wrought-tron scroll work in ths angle be tween board and post. In many parts of Boston are to be seen bronze tablets with appropriate Inscrip tions marking some historic building or commemorating some notable event. Cer tain patriotic orders, like the Sons of the Revolution, have made the placing of such tablets one of their duties. In various New England communities local hlatorio societies mark notable sites In a similar way, perhaps at first with painted legends, to be replaced when means permit by In scriptions more enduring. This service might well be extended. Street names often bear Intimate relations with local history, but for lack of record the circumstances of their designation are likely to be for gotten. Here, then. Is a rich field of work for local societies in placing In each street that bears a name of historical purport an Inscription giving the facts of the case. Lincoln street. In Boston, for Instance, might now commonly be supposed to be named In honor of the great president; but a suitable Inscription would recite the fact that the name was given on such a date In honor of Levi Lincoln, governor of the commonwealth, etc. On Lincoln street the Inscription would be to the effect that the first public Latin school In America stood there. In such ways the streets of a town could be made a veritable book for the public, In which literally they that run might read. These tablets could be given attractive shape, as simple or as ornate os desired, and perhaps fashioned after some standard design, as street signs are. Or, where a street bears the name of a person of note, the tablet might Include a medallion portrait In low relief. The thoroughfare Itself would thereby more fully serve the function of a commemora tive monument. Inscriptions might at first be affixed In temporary shape, gradually to be reproduced In bronia. perhaps a cer tain number each ye&r. Such a work would add greatly to the Interest of a place. Particularly In the older parts of ths country, as In New England, ths his toric character of which attracts tourists from other par of the country In increas ing numbers every ye.vr. It would be remunerative outlay for a community to undertake the task as completely as pos sible. Century Magazine. WHEAT LANDS IN CANADA Three Hundred Thousand Acres Paw Into Private OoitroL COMPANY WILL FINANCE A BIG DEAL Richest Land In Saskatchewan to Be Pat oat Market by Corporation that Hns Md tho Parchaae. ST. PAUL, March 15. (Special Corre spondence.) Announcement was msde in St. Paul today of a colossal land purchase In Western Csnada. A large tract of lands In the western Cansdlan wheat belt has been taken over by an American-Canadian syndicate, headed by F. A. Bean, the well known flour miller of New Prague, Minn. The Canadian Interests are represented by Hon. W. H. Montague, formerly Canadian minister of agriculture. Several different transactions are Involved and the total ex tent of lands affected is sbout 800,000 acres. Exact prices are not given, but It ts un derstood that ths total consideration Is nearly $3,000,000. The purchased lands are along the main line of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway In eastern Saskatchewan. This line Is Canada's second transcontinental railroad and by the fall of 1907 It will be In operation through the heart of the wheat belt. The new Canadian Pacific's direct line from Winnipeg; to Edmonton, formerly known as ths Klrkella or Pheasant Hills branch, also passes through this district. In a general way the district may be located as being north of the famous Indian Head and Re glna districts, of which. In fact. It Is really a part. Soms parcels of the lands Involved are on the main line of the Canadian Northern railway. Mr. Bean's company Is styled the Western Canada Settlers' Mu tual Land company, and will have offices In Winnipeg and St. Paul. Mr. Bean was in St. Paul today In con nection with the closing of the deal. He was accompanied by Hon. W. H. Montague, eighteen years a member of the Canadian Parliament and formerly minister of agri culture. Both gentlemen confirmed ths facts of the purchase as given above. Tremendous Farralnar Operations. "As a miller," said Mr. Bean, "my atten tion was attracted to the western Canada wheat belt some years sgo. At that time I bought about 60,000 acres, and have never had any cause to regret my Investment There Is no doubt In my mind that in the near future It will be the greatest wheat producing region In the world. I now havo several thousand acres under plow and ex pect to extend our agricultural operations rapidly. We have a steam plow that will break thirty acres a day, and are buying upwards of a hundred head of farm horses. Altogether we will have more than fifty plows at work in the vicinity cf Estorhasy, Saskatchewan, as soon as the frost Is out of the ground. We have so much plowing to do ourselves and are doing so much for other persons or companies, that It Is Im possible for us to get enough equipment to supply the demand. Many other companies or Individuals are operating on an equally large scale. This Is to be a year of tre mendous activity In western Canada. Some 1,000 miles of railway are being built and It Is estimated that $80,000,000 will be ex pended in this and connected work. It Is said that more money Is being Spent In railway building .and a larger mileage Is being laid down In eastern Saskatchewan this year than ever before In any portion Of the world of equal area. Ths country Is on the eve of a wonderful development, land that Is today selling for $10 to $15 an aere will be bringing $20 to $25 when the Grand Trunk Pacific Is built. In a few years such land producing as It does an av erage of thirty bushels of wheat to the sere, will be easily worth $50." Moat Important Transaction. Mr. Montagus says that all things con sidered the transaction just consummated by Mr, Bean Is one of the most Important that has ever been made In western Can ada. "Heretofore the people of eastern Canada," continued Mr. Montague, "have not taken as much Interest as the people nf the western states In the wonderful de velopment of western Canada, but this year they have a keen and widespread Interest in regard to the west, and thousands ars getting ready to come west. There Is a disposition not to let you Yankees take all the good things without competition, as In the past. '1 do not think Americana generally un derstand the full significance of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway. It Is a brand new transcontinental railway, 5,500 miles long from coast to coast, half of which Is built by the Dominion government snd the other half financed by the government, all to be operated by the Grand Trunk Pacific Rail way company In connection with the Grand Trunk proper. In addition to Its main lino, which passes through tho heart of ths dis trict In 'which Mr. Bean is operating, the company Is planning a number of branch lines that will penetrate this fertile dis trict. The presenco of a railway so largely dominated by the government Insures low freight rates to the people living along It. Besides the Grand Trunk, the Csnadlan Pa cific Is building three lines through this district, nrd of course you know what a magnlP.cent system the Canadian Paclflo rallwoy is and how thoroughly they open up and develop a country when they go at It. The Canadian Northern la also project ing a line. With all this railway building and the attendant Industrial activity, to say nothing of the hundreds of thousands of acres of land that are being broken up, eastern Saskatchewan will this season pre sent a scene of peaceful and prosperous activity that has never been surpassed la America."
