Speculation haa been rife for five yeara as to the ultimate disposition of tha cor ner lot, which has a frontage of 132 feet on Sixteenth street and 99 feet on Har ney atreet. Hotels, business blocks and theaters have been planned for the cor ner, but It has remained for local capital to Improve the premises.

Three different type of buildings are being figured for the Colin proposition, as It haa not been definitely determined If a Mora and office building, a store and bachelor apartment building or a store and hotel building will be erected. The oontract for the accepted building will be let about April 11. The plana for the Yung Women's Christian association building, which were drawn by Thomas IL Kimball, proviso for every possible con venience, and the building will be a model of construction. Foundations are beius laid for the new two-story brick store of the undertaking firm of Colo & McKay, near the corner of Seventeenth and Douglas streets. The con tract was awarded to John Houghton and will cost nlxnit $8,0GO. The entire front of the building, which Is to be 2Tx110 feet, will be of white tiling, and a large chapel for funeral services will be one of the features. W. R. Homan Is having pl---e drawn bjr Architect J. IL Dietrich C i- a two-story brick flat, to be erected on his lot at Twen ty-fifth avenue and Dodtro street. The flat j wlu 3gxl0 feet and wm COBt ,7-00o. Excavating was begun lost week on the alte of tho new Haarmann pickle factory, which Is bounded by Twelfth and Thir teenth streets and extends between Marcy street and the Burlington tracks. The grad ing contract was let to E. L. Whltcomb ot flremont for about kb.wu, wryj is working nigra ana any snms, dui me worn win not be completed until September 1. Sixty thousand cublo yards of earth will be re moved by crushing it In a machine and dumping It In a large sewer to be washed away, tots at Eleventh and Pierce street have been rented from the Byron Reed com pany for the grading camp. J. Fred Smith, executor of the estate of the late Henry M. Wllhnell, haa sold tha old Wlthnell home at 3511 Harney atreet to a local Investor, whose name was not made public, for $0,300. The lot has -a frontage of seventy-five feet and Is occupied by a tan-room frame residence, which Is now rented by Dr. Frederick Rustln. One of the Important transfers of down town business property during the week waa the sale of the three-story brick build ing at 1309-11 Howard atreet, now occu pied by the printing eatabllshment of F. B, Festner, to the National Printing company, 509-11 South Twelfth street, for $20,000. The building la owned by Henry Doll, who will erect a new building for the Festner com pany on a site yet to bo secured, and will and dividends to t $08,457,190 OMASA - - - , r- vi-j.., be occupied by the National company, which will vacate Its present building; on Twelfth street. The Festner building Is well and expensively constructed, havlnc a yellow pressed brick front, and has a frontage of thirty-three feet on Howard street. It Is especially adnptod for a print ing establishment and will afford mora room for the National Printing; company than is had In the present building;. One of the striking features of last year waa the manner In which Are Insurance companies of the country provided for the tremendous losses sustained, the appalling San Francisco disaster presenting one of the most difficult financial problems that the companies were ever called upon to surmount. It Is estimated the Are loss In this country and Canada In 1906 amounted to $4&9.7l0,00rt, of which $2SO,000,000 was In San Francisco. The excess loss of $179, 710,000 in the country at large was over $4,000,000 greater than during the previous year and was the heaviest annual loss In any year except those In which the Chi cago, Boston and Baltimore fires ocurred. Beven ncres of sightly ground northwest of the Nebraska School for the Deaf was sold last week by George O. Wallace to M. C. Steele of the Hobbs-Jones Grocery company, who will build a fine suburban home on the acreage and develop an ex perimental forestry farm, with the assist ance of bis sens. The acreage waa sold for the estate of Jerome A. Little, who was once president of the Pioneers' association and an employe of the Union Paclflo shops for many years. Mr. Wallace also sold a tract of five acres at the southwest corner of Thirty-sixth and Boyd streets for G. Brandenburg, formerly In the leather busi ness In Omaha, but now at Los Angeles, to Miss Marks of San Francisco, who has re moved to Omaha, and will subdivide the tract Into residence lots for Investment purposes. As an evidence of the remarkable In crease In home building this spring the reports of the building Inspector for the month of March show that 110 building permits, representing an expenditure of $344, 7"0, were Issued, as- against only fifty-two permits during March, 1700. New homes of varied expense are being erected uniformly In all parts of Che city, from magnificent country homes In Dundee to Inexpensive cottages In the out lying sections. The increase in home fiulldlng Is marked over that of last year, as several new real estate firms have entered the field In the business and are building homes for sale on the "ex citement plan." The three-story brick building at the northeast corner of Twelfth street and Capitol avenue, occupied by the Midway saloon, was formally transferred last week to the Storx Brewing company, al though the saloon haa been under the nominal ownership of the brewing com pany for some time. The two-story brick and frome resi dence at 8109 Pacific street has been sold by the W. Farnam Smith Co. to Mm. Agnes Webb tfor $4,000 and will be used for a home. The W. Farnam Smith Co. has also sold two lots near Twenty fifth and Spencer streets, which will be Improved. The buyer of one of the lots, James R. Johnson. Intends to build a $2,000 home, and the owner of the other lot, Ferdinand Eyden, is erecting a home to cost atiout $2,500. X An investor in Omaha real estate who has recently attracted considerable at tention among real estate dealers by rea son of his many Investments is Dr.M. M. Loomls, who added to his holdings last week by buying a choice lot at the cor ner of Nineteenth and Manderson streets and another large lot at the southwest corner of Spencer street and the Bjulo vard. The Manderson street lot extends from Nineteenth to Twentieth street, a frontage of 140 feet, and provides ample space for six cottages, which will be built Immediately. The sale was made through J. H. Dumont & Son for Edgar H. Scott at the reported price of $1,750. Hastings & Heyden sold the Boulevard lot to Dr. Lou m l for $1,700 and a brick residence will be erected in the near fu ture. Tha large lot occupied by five frame houses at the northeast corner of Thir tieth street and Woolworth avenue, which is known as the Nichols block, was sold by Robinson & Wolf for Philip Schlalfer to Mrs. Anna Buck, proprietress of the Metropolitan hotel. The price paid was $7,600, and the Investment returns an unusually large Income, as the five sot tages rent for $100 a month. L. M. GJerde of tha Bmnswlck-Balke. Collender company and Henry C.

CLIP HEAVIER THAN FCR PRECEDING YFAR Higher Prices and Decreased Shrink are Brings More Money to the Floekmnsters Than Was Realised In 1IHKS. (Copyright, 1907, by Atlantic News Ser vice.) BOSTON, April 6. John Bruce Mcl'her son, secretary of the National Associa tion of Wool Manufacturers, which haa Its headquarters In Booton, has Just Is sued the annual wool review of the United States and sheep census for 106. This is the eighteenth consecutive year in which the association has issued statis tics on the wool Industry of the country. These statistics have become the author ity for everyone connected with tho wool Industry and are accepted by i.he United States government as authority, espe cially the census of sheep. For the year 1906 the number of sheep fit for shearing s placed at 3S,D10,798 as compared with 38.621,476 the preced ing year. Decreases were found in some of the larger grazing states, owing to larger shipments than usual the previous fall, while In some of the middle wcslern states the number Increased because of the development of the Industry and be cause of more accurate Information se cured. Prices were high for all kinds of sheep stock and full advantage was taken of them. Contracting for the 1906 clip waa not so general .far ahead as In 19116, experi ence of that year making growers more wary of entering into binding obligations. This was especially true of Montana. Buyers pursued a waiting policy. Thl.4 deliberate method was not exceptional to this country; It waa pursued early In the Australian sales and later at the Lon don auctions by American buyers. That higher prices were not paid the grower was due to the feeling that the danger point in prices had been, reached and thit it would be hazardous to accede to the growers' views of values. Heavier Clip for the Year. Owing to the greater weight of the aver age fleece, the clip, despite the small In crease in numbers, was heavier In the grease by 8.426.692 pounds than that of the year before. The total average In crease was ono-tenth of a pound per fleece. The quantity of wool produced on the basis of 88,540,798 sheep was 256, 915,130 pounds, not Including pulled wool, as against 253,489,438 pounds the year before. Its equivalent in scoured Building Record for March Building operations for March In thirty three of tho leading c'.tiea show a decrease of $ per cent In comparison with the corre sponding period a year ago. During the month Just closed permits were taken out In thirty-three cities, according to official CITT. New York, Borough of the Bronx and Manhattan Brooklyn Chicago Philadelphia St. Louis Detroit Cleveland Rochester Pittsburg , Indianapolis Buffalo Kansas City St. Paul Milwaukee Denver Cincinnati Newark Salt Lake City Atlanta Birmingham New Orleans Louisville Omaha Harrisburg Allegheny Duluth V.. Dallas Worcester Orand Rapids Paterson Mobile Topeka : Davenport San Antonio Total. Of the thirty cities enumerated there were gains In seventeen and lossea In thirteen. Tha most significant feature of the month waa the phenomenal gain In five of the cltlea of moderate dimensions. ' The most conspicuous increases were n Bait Lake City. S16 rr cent; Mobile, 225; Topeka, 153; Indianapolis, 149; Birmingham, 111: Al legheny, M; Paterson, N. J., 57; Bt. Louis, 63; Buffalo, 46; Chicago, 18: Brooklyn. $2; SL Paul. 30. Of tha losses there was a falling oft In New York of 38 per rent, PlUladolphla, $1: Pittsburg, (; Kansas City, 18; Denver, IS; Newark, 82; Louisville, ?2; Omaha, 23 and Duluth, 11 It will b Been that tha centers of activity are as widely scat t red as are tha sections In which there Is less building than there was a year ago. It la apparent that New York still feels the affect of over-building and the tight money market, but there are now indica tions of an easier condition. Brooklyn, however, abowa aa lucre, but tha buil4 OF C. D. M'LAUGHLIN, SOUTH THIRTY wool was 100,010,942 pounds. Pulled wool was not considered to vary from the previous year 42.000,000 pounds. The shrinkage of this was 30 per cent. In. stead of 33 per cent a year before, mak ing tha new yield 29,400,000 pounds clean wool. Total production for the country, there fore, during 1906 was 298,915,130 poundu, equal to 129.410,942 pounds of scourel wool, 2,883,821 pounds In excess of the estimate for 1905. Pnrt of this excess was due to decreased shrinkage. The average weight of a fleece was 6.68 pounds, against 6.66 pounds In 1905. 6.50 pounds In 1904 and 6.25 pounds In 1903. In fact the shrinkage has been decreas ing for some years. Percentage of the average shrinkage was 61.08, as com pared with 61.3 in 1903 and 61.6 In 1904. The total value of th5 clip for tho year was about the same as tho previous year, being less than 1 per cent smaller, 1. e., $79,721,883, compared with $80,415,514. The avernpe value per pound of fleece and pulled wool decreased 2.4 and 6.5 per pound respectively. Montana Leads Aoraln. Montana leads, as heretofore, with tho larpest flock, 4,940,000. These produced 35, 815.000 pounds of wool, washed and un washed, valued at $8,523,970. Montana fleeces averaged 7.25 pounds each, shrink ing per cent, making the scoured wool product equal 12.535.260 pounds. The average price obtained pe' pound was 68 cents, against 69 cents the year before, and 65 cents two years before. Wyoming Is second for size of flock and wool production. She has 4,531,000 sheep, which produced 32,849,750 pounds of rough wool, shrinking 68 per cfnt to 10,511.930 of the scoured. This brought $7,253,225. or 69 cents a pound, against 70 cents the pre vious year and 55 cents in 1904. Fleeces averaged 7.25 pounds each. New Mexico comes third in tRe list of flocks, with 2,900,000. Their fleeces were lighter, averaging 6.5 pounds each, the total clip being 19,960,000 pounds, shrinking 62 per cent to 6,061,000 scoured, which brought $3,818,430, or 63 cents per pound. This was 2 nents less than the year be fore, but 13 cents ' higher than the aver age price In 1904. Fburth state is Idaho, with 2.300,000 In her flock, producing for the year 16, 906,000 pounds of raw wool, shrinking 67 per cent to 5,578,660 pounds scoured, valued at $3 6S1.99, or 66 cents per pound, against 69 and 65 cents in 1906 and 1904 respectively. Fleeces averaged 7.35 poundB each. Utah stands next, with l.POfi.OOO In her flock, their clip totaling 12.350.000 pounds rough, or 4.3C2.D0O pounds scoured, the shrinkage of the 6.5 pound fleeces averag ing 65 per cent. The clip brought $2,896, 075 to the state; or 67 cents per pound, as compared with 66 cents in 19C4, the price being the same as In 1P0S. Ohio stands well up on the list, with 1.850,000 sheep, being 50,010 ahead of Ore gon. The Ohio product was 11,662.600 reports to Construction News, frr 10,927 buildings, involving a total expenditure of $44,37,072 against 9,958 bu:idlng, costing $45,334,722, for the same month a year ago, an Increase of buildings and a decrease In coet Of $1,607,650.

In CUcafo permits were takrn out for the obstruction of 1.03 bulldlrgs involving a total Investment of $6,906,400 against 926 buildings aggregating In cost $4.2(77.650 for the corresponding month a year ao. The figures In both Instances Illustrate that this la the era of small building ind dwell Ing house construction as against huge structures of the recant past The situation seems to be thoroughly healthy in every direction and bulldwe com plain very greatly of the difficulty In secur ing p-ompt deliveries. The demand for material is strong and building news comes In at about a normal rate la comparison with preceding period. - EIGHTH STREET. pounds of 6.25-pound fleeces, shrinking 50 per cent to 6,781,260 pounds, worth $3,631, 475 to the growers, or 62 cents per pound, against 63 cents the year before, but 4 cents better than two years before. ' What Nebraska Prodocrd. Nebraska has 250.0110 sheep, with fleeces averaging 7.5 pounds each, producing a total of 1,875.000 pounds of raw wool, shrink ing 67 per cent to 618,760 pounds. This wns worth $402,188, or 65 cents per pound. Iowa's flock numbers 500.0W, having 6.6 pound fleeces. Their clip was 3,2ri0,000 pounds, with a shrinkage of 60 per cent, bringing the scoured product down to l,62o,oiy pounds. This brought $910,000 In the market. Oregon's flock of 1.800,000 produced fleeces averaging heavy, $.6 pounds each, or a total of 15,300,000 pounds. But the shrinkage was 70 per cent, bringing the scoured net down to 4,590,000 pounds, at 68 cents per pound, or $3,121,200, as compared with 69 and 65 cents tho two years preceding. California's flock of 1,750,000 averaged 7.5 pound fleeces, with an average of 13.125.000 pounds rough wool, shrinking 67 per cent to 4,331.250. This brought $2,901, 9", or 67 cents per pound, to the Golden State. In 19 the price was 69 cents and the year before M cents. Three other states have flocks of over 1,000,000 each Colorado, Texas and Michigan. Michigan heads these with 1,500, 000. The clip was 9,4M,0OO of 6.3-pound fleeces, shrinking 50 per cent to .4,725,000 pounds. Growers realized $2135,000, or 60 cents per pound, against 61 cents the year before. Texas Is a trifle ahead of Colo rado. with 1.440,000. The clip totalled 9,360. 000 pounds, or 6.6 fleeces, shrinking 66 per cent to 3,182,400 and worth $2,132,208 to the state at 67 cents per pound, 8 cents less than received the year before. Colorado has 1,400,000, with fleeces weighing 6.75 last year or a total of ,4oO,000 pounds In the rough, shrinking 67 per cent to 8.118,500 pounds. This added $2,027,025 to the wealth of the state at 65 cents per pound, a cent per pound less than In 19T6. Among the curious tacts noted from the tables Is that Maine, though having but 200,000 sheep, produced 1,200,000 pounds of wool, while West Virginia, with 480,000 clipped 2,610,000 pounds. Pennsylvania has 850,000 and the clip was 6.100,000 pounds. Virginia managed to raise 1,750,000 pounds, with her 350,000 Bheep. Rhode Island and Delaware cannot seem to get their flock hove 6,500, the same figure as In previous be able to carry. If the flock of the entire years. Comparative statistics are hard4to gather owing to varying conditions. But It Is In teresting to know that If the total wool clip of the United States were loaded Into cars all at one time each! icar of averago capacity of 20,000 pounds,' 1.922 cars would be required. If steel cars of the 100,000 pounds capacity that E. H. Harrlman says will be needed on the roads of the future were to be used, 385 of them would be re quired. Even this would be a bigger load than any engine he could Imagine would United States were to be marshalled In ono long line, allowing each sheep four feet of room, they would extend 27,324 miles, or once around the world and nearly to San Francisco before they stopped. As to how many bales the erttlre clip coald be com pressed into, this is largely a matter of guesswork, as bales vary In size and den sity from different parts of the country though they are supposed to have a stand ard of average weight.

Merchant In some of the northern cities which will be reached by the Milwaukee coast exten sion look upon the matter In a different light, as an editorial from the Helena (Mont.) Dally Heccrd will Indicate. It Is evident from this editorial that tha people of Helena look upon the building of an opposition line to tho Hllf lines Into Helena ns having a tendency to open up tho Omaha market to that territory rather than to discriminate aiilnst It, as waa! thought at first to be the case. The town will be prepared for the com ing of the Commercial club excursion and when a western town prepares for the com ing of someone there will ba something doing. Kevr Field for Omaha Trade. Under the caption, "Coining of' the BU raul," The Record's odltorlul says: One of the results of the building of tha extension of the Chicago. Milwaukee & St, i-uui into Montana will be the opening up to Montana merchants of Omaha as a competitive pitnt at which they can do ttieir liuyinnr. It Is a result of the coming into Montana of the new road, which haa not bn generally counted upon, and tha story printed on another page of the trip in me summer to mis state ot mnansj business men Indicates that the active, progressive men of that city reallzo that in the great northwest there la a market w-rln cultivating The trip of these Omaha representative will cost many thousands of dollars, and it Is sure they would not mako It if they did not know that later, when they are able to avail themselves of a competitive line, they will be In a position to contest with Bt. Paul, Minneapolis and Chicago for tha trade of Montana ami the remainder of tha Kocky mountain section. The control by Mr. Hill of the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Ihirllngton has enabled him to throw the greater part of this trade to St. Paul and Minneapolis. But the St. Paul, which reaches Omaha, will give the merchants of that town the chance to meet the Minnesota towns on even terms, ot least. In this market, anil they will take full advantage of It. The announcement of the itinerary thu early will give every town In Montana which will be visited aniph? time to make preparations to entertnln the visitors. The moHt potent factors In the business life of Nebraska will be comprised In the men who will make the trip, and wlillo they are coming purely In the expectation of find ing a market, nevertheless. If their first Impressions of Montana and Its people are favorable, when they return the result will be beneficial to Montana. With a few nota ble exceptions, Montana ho not been able to Interest Omaha capital In Its enterprises. The establishment of closer business rela tions will undoubtedly result not only In Omaha selling more goods In Montana, but It will also result In Montana getting Omaha capital, of which there as nn abundance, to assist In the development of its mineral and other resources. In other words, the bankers and financial men of Omaha will be interested In the advance ment of the country in which they are doing business, and they will do what thej; can to assist that development BURKLEY BUYSNEW HOUSE Secures the James Mcintosh Rest dence en North Thirty-- " Eighth Avenue.
