In this connection It Is reported that
prices have never reached the level at
tained In the "boom" days, except for
some residence property and proctb ally
all business realty. Many larrje plots of
land boimht In the day of extraordinary
Mull values have been held at a Iohh with
the vain hops that another boom would
come, ard are now being; placed on the
market either at a loss or at no material
advance.
Heal estate men of the present day de
ploro the lletltious valuos placed on prop
erty during the last boom, but are confi
dent that the present aa-e will witness a
more substantial and lasting Increase In
values.
Large deals In real eBtate were few dur
ing the Inst week, although the demand
and Inquiry were good. Interest was cen
tered during tne first part of the week In
the negotiations for the erection of the
proposed six-story office building and store
on the lot at tho southeast corner of Six
teenth and Harney utreets. The deal has
been delayed on account of the- Inability
of the owners of tho corner and the pro
posed lessee to agree to the terms on which
tho new building shall be erected.
It was repi rted that the new building
was to be built under an agreement that
J. A. Swunson, formerly with the tlerg.
Bwunson company, would take a lease for
nlnety-nlno years at a fix ml annual rental
for store purposes and to pay rent on a
basis of a valuation of 2,uuo a front foot
on the lot.
The tentative plans for the new building
wero drawn, the contractors secured and
ready to begin the erection of tho building
Immediately under an agreement to have
It ready for occupancy by September 1,
when the deal waa temporarily blocked over
a, dlfferenco of $1,600 per year In the rent
to 1 paid by the lessee.
Negotiations are at a complete standstill,
but It Is probable that the difference ex
isting between the purtleu concerned will
be adjusted In the near future and rha
uuilding go ahead as originally planned.
The action of the city health commis
sioner In ordering the cleaning of all va
cant lota of tin cans, refuse and rubbish
met with mingled favor and disfavor last
week by real estate brokers. The notices
were served on all real estate Hgenta Tues
day morning undr a penalty of abating
the alleged nuisances on the lots In their
care within live days or be subjected to
arrest and prosecution. Three deputy
health officials have been making tours
of Inspection through the city and the
notices were the result of their strenuous
work for a "spring house cleaning" In
Omaha such as has iever been witnessed
before.
Many real estate brokers expressed them
selves as heurtliy In accord with the
movement for cleaning up all the vacunt
lots of the city, while others objected
to the Increaae In their work of cailng for
the property of their clients.
Several Interesting mid amusing develop
ments were the outcome of tho orders from
the health ofttce In conflict with two or
.lireo real estate agents. Notlcea of abate
ment were sent to at least three agents
In ono Instance In respect to a certain
ple-'u of property upon which sale signs
hud been placed by the respective agents.
Tho health commissioner's c.fllclala were
evidently In us great doubt as to the Iden
tity of the chief u.eut for the vacant lot
atV. played ufo by sending notices to all
us' i. Is who hud sale stuns on tho premises.
The cnforcumeiit of the orders will ma
terially Improve the general appearance of
thtf city and will tei.d to ml anco the value
of the property and render It more easy

After many years' experience In the tips

term of live years by the Willow Spring

a different class of trade. The lease was
made in the name of an employe of the
Willow Springs company, who will have
active chartjo of the hotel, and ?i,0 0 will
be expended In Improvements. New furni
ture will be bought for every room; the
hotel lobby and Interior arrangement will

Tbe large lot at the northwest corner of
N nth and Ha nc y s ree s, wh'ch v. as bought
I list fall by Katrlanks, Morse & Co., will
probably be. Improved this summer by the
erection of a large, fireproof office building
and warehouse. Kstimntes have been taken
by the local manager of the company, Mr.
Norman, aa to the prolmblo cost of such
I a binding, which will be constmted of
reinforced concrete, and the new warehouse
will lo ready for occupany by January 1.
The erection of tho new warehouse has
become Imperative because of the greater
volume of business transacted by the Falr-bunks-Morwe
company and has entirely
outgrown the piesomt structure at the
northwest corner of JOlsventh and Far nam
streets.
A site Is being sought for a new factory
building for the Omaha MUten and Manu
facturing company, which is situated at
present on the second floor of the building
at 1303 Howard street. Several sits have
been offered the company and taken under
advisement, but a definite selection will
not be made for a few weeks at least. The
business of the mitten fnmpuny tins out
grown the rresent Inadequate quarters and
a new two-story fireproof building of rein

have been endeavoring to build a suitable
steel car which would meet all the require
ments without being too heavy. The liiiun
Pacific officials think they have solved tho
problem In the car which was turned out
lat week from the Ouulia shops.
Provided with every known convenience
for mall cars, this new model has a round
roof, with the Cottier exhaust ventilators,
the same that have been successfully uced
on ths L'nion J'acll.c gasoline motor cars.
The all-steel mall cur weighs 117.iai pounds
as against the ordinary wooden car's
weight of 90,00u pounds. The floor Is lire-
proof, being of monolith. The letter eases
are of metal and the car Is absolutely tire-
proof. It is equipped with the axle system
of electric lighting, a system which when
the tar Is In motion charges a storage bat-
tery which supplies the lights. The Idea
of the round roof Is to give additional
strength, as an enormous Increase In sta
bility la given over the ordinary type of
fiat roof, thus adding to the safety of the
car and giving the clerks almott abs ilute
protection from danger from the outside.
as the car Is so built that it could roll over
an embankment without damage.

McKeen, superintendent of motive power
of the Union Pacific, under whote su
pervision this car has been built. So well
pic-used Is he with Uie new truck frame
that he has formed the opinion that in
tho future all car trucks should tie buil"
of steel and that the old wooden truck
should be replaced by steel as fast as
piui-tlcable. Mr. McKeen says he believes
the truck is one of the most Important
features In the saiety of a car, and now
that the utilisation of ft. el shapes has
proven so successful In pracihe It will
come Into speedy ue. This opinion Is
also held by other railroad men who have
looked into the subject.
Owing to the multiplicity or steei-snapea
transportation vehicles that have been
turned out of the Oiaaha fchop in the last
two or three years It. Is doubtful whether
there Is in the entire country a more skill
