NEWS OF THE
PIONEER ROOM IN HIS HOME
Omaha Man Introduces Novelty in
House Building.
OLD STYLE IN ITS EVERY DETAIL
On Room la Which the Days of
Innt Ao Will Mr Preserved,
ns I out AppMraun
Count.
An Omaha business man who la plan
ning a home, to be built on the west side
suhurhsn district Is going to add some
features to It which are novel in this
part of the country and which are pat
terned more or less after the builders
of a century ago. One of the rooms In
the house will be what he calls his "an
cestors' room." It Is built In the old style
and even the long heavy rafters which
span the broad and spacious room are
hwn and not sawed. Tbey are roughly
smoothed off. but the marks of the ax
are still to be seen. There Is an old-fashioned
fire place built In the same rough
style and provided with andirons. There
hlg. black pots will hang In all the crude
ness of primeval nature.
The room Is to be furnished v!th old
fashioned furniture, most of which Is genu
ine, and really belonged to this man's an
cestors. A. big table of heavy wood Is to
occupy the middle of the room. A grand
father's clock will add its dignified tick
ing to the general air of pioneer dom,
fnshated are the activities of the peo
ple who are building up the residence dis
trict of Omaha. The week Just closed
shows sn activity which has not been
surpassed by any of the phenomenal pre
ceding weeks. The supply of labor and
material continues to bo satisfactory and
conditions are harmonious everywhere. A
consultation of the want columns of the
dntly papers Is a good way to Judge of
conditions In Omaha. It will be noted that
the "For Uent" columns are still abbre
viated and that the "For Sale" columns
seem to grow more extensive every week,
Tt Indicates that people are moving to
Omaha In considerable numbers and are
finding occupation In the steadily expand
ing Interests and enterprises hero.

Tj. O. Perley has nearly completed plans
for a handsome residence to he erected
In the steadily growing suburban district
of West rtodge street. The house will cost
In the neighborhood of fcS.OOO. C. 8. Hay
ward, who Is one of the builders In that
district. Is rutting some sentiment Into
the house. When he was a boy he ran
barefooted about a rugged and stony
Massachusetts farm. The stones were a
source of considerable bother to him, for
It was considered work quite suited to
boys to gather up tho said stones and
transport them from the ground. Having
raised himself to a position of prominence.
Mr. Tlaywaid brought from that same
Massachusetts farm a lot of those stones
snd boulders which were the sotting of
much of bis boyhood life. Ho Is using
them to build the foundation of his hand
some home.
At the Rome hotel, Sixteenth snd
Jackson streets, some very fine fvork Is
being done In Italian marble. Tho hotel
lobby will be very large and Is finished
firtisllcally In mahogany and llalini
Tnarhle. The walls and pillars are
feslnscoated to a height of five feet from
Ihe floor with tills beautiful marble. The
pillars above that height are m Imifatlon
tnarhle. The Alfred Bloom company
tnade the handsome mahogany clnr
stnnd which la located st the south stdo
of the large lobby. The same company
made the other fixtures of the building.
"Tile roofs are coming mote und more
to be used In Omaha buildings." said F.
M. Mamllng. the tllo mini. "Tile roofs
sre Ideal In every way. though they ere
especially adaptable to a building of
permanent construction that Is built of
brick or stone. A tllo roof costs about
five times as much as shingles and It
will last forever and then can be used
again on a new building. Tile are made
In various shapes and in various colors.
Mnny of them sre glazed In green or
red and make a very pretty appearance.
The new First Christian church will be
roofed wlih the green glazed tile, as will
a'so the new home of Mr. DeBord near
the Field club."
T''ere are people In Omaha who Intend
b nitild homes. They have the money in
the bank and the lots already purchased.
They are waiting for the price of lumber
fo down. It Is true that lumber la
higher now than It has been for many
years.
"But," said a contractor who has erected
scores of houses In this city, "the price of
lumber will not so lower. I have studied
tills problem, for it is one of peculiar fas
cination to me. It is a fact at every
year we arc cutting between thrcr and four
times as much timber In thia country as
grows during tho year. Areas of timber
have been depleted devastated seems a
better word. They have been ruthlessly,
and. It seems with wanton waste, stripped
of their magnificent growths. And then
the sawmills and lumber camps have moved
with their fell weapons on to some fresh
fields and pastures new. This is the rea
son why lumber Is going up In price, and
this Is the reason why we cannot look for
It to come down again. It will certainly
not come down until tills government fol
lows the example of Germany and takes a
hand In controlling the cutting of timber.
This It must do sooner or later, else the
entire timber areas will be entirely
stripped In a few years.
"Pome people think that the Introduc
tion of such building materials as concrete
and artificial stone will solve this problem
and that it will result in compelling the
lumber barons to reduce the price on their
product. But the introduction of such
new materials Is a mere bagatelle and
can produce no appreciable effect on the
emand for lumber, which Is growing by
ttops and bounds In proportion with the
Increasing population and eipandlng needs
if this country. My advice V to build now
ir at least order your lumber now for fu.
ture delivery."

will lessen the numerous duties of the
housewife and prove a source of enjoyment
to all.
The average farmer at first glance would
say that this bouse Is too elaborate, but a
careful study of material used and cost of
construction will prove that It Is a home
which can be very economically built The
excavation for the cellar In almost any
locality will provide sufficient gravel for

and also for the concrete blocks for the re
mainder of the building.
A tile Is specified, but if this Is too cx
penslvo we would recommend tin, which
would be less liable to c atcjh fire.
A careful study of the Interior will show
that the architect appreciates the neces
sities of a country home. The large kitchen

of the materiul on the ground for the
t'nion racirtc's new car shop building and
the new paint and wheel shop. The latter
two buildings are now under construction
and will require l.ouO.tnio feet of lumber.
"Though five years ago steam and hot
water heat were considered luxuries and
were installed only in the larger business
buildings and the homes of the wealthy,
circumstances have revolutionized matters
to such n n extent that no homo of even
modest pretensions or store building of
any cunseiuenee is considered modern with
out this equipment," suid W. II. Wlgnian
of the I'nlted States Supply company.
This business In Omaha is growing im
mensely Bach year sees an increase of
from 1H to 150 per cent, notwithstanding
the fact that prices are somewhat higher
than previously.
'This naturally suggests the opinion that
hot water is fast comh to be recognized

modem home. It is now being Installed
In tho majority of new houses being erected
In Omaha and costing U.OOO and upward.
The same Is true of the country, and many

"More people are camping this year than
ever before," said a representative of the
Omaha Tent and Awning company. "The
demand has been great for tents. One of
ours at tin lake Is attracting considerable
attention because It Is so cool. The people
who live in It say It Is the Ideal cottage

Fireplaces
By Charles
Ever since the time when primitive man
llrsl protected himself against the cold by
building a tire in the center of the floor
of his rude dwelling, allowing the smoke
to escape through a hole In the roof, the
fireplace has been the most cheerful part'
of the room or dwelling. The pleasing as
sociations attached to thcin have made
the hearthstone and fireplace popular
themes In poetry and Action Blnce the dawn
f literature. The mystlo charm of the
fireside has found expression in the emo
tional religions of many ancient and ori
ental peoples to whom the hearth was the
altar for their votive offerings. Today the
old chimney fireplace of colonial times Is.
like the western campflre, a most popular
subject for fiction writers who make a
studied effort to set their narratives amid
pleasing and suggestive surroundings.
The cheerful family associations so
closely connected with the fire place are
so strong that this feature of the dwell
ing remains long after its utility as a
source of heat has been rendered super
fluous by the numerous modern mechanical
devices of heating from a central fur
nace. As the fireplace Is now retained chiefly
for ornamental purposes, it should b
chosen with this aim delinitely in view. It
the one object in the room which is archi
tectural in character end should he so In
treatment. Good taste In architecture in
volves consistent expression both in struc
ture and material. Forms should be ap
propriate with the uses either direct 01
indirect to which they are to be put. Ma
terial should be selected with an eye for
Its suitableness for the purposes for which
it Is to lie used, and with direct regard
for Its natural limitations.
Applying tiiese general principle to tlv
architecture of the fireplaces, one sees
that fireplaces should be different in dif-
ferent apartments. It Is not a question of
building a pretty fireplace. It Is necessary
to have one which is in keeping with thn
room In which It la placed. Thus a mantel
or fireplace which would look well In a hull
might be entirely out of place In the llv'ni
room or bed room. The same Is tru of
tha materials of which a fireplace ts bu'lt.
A fireplace or mantel should above all
things sufrnest warmth. One esthetic cilt-
iclsm of the beautiful white marble man

years ago. wna that marble, and more i
that marble, and ninril
especially white marble 1a cold, and con -
sequently not apfroprinte for tbat portion
of the room' which is ths source of ail
heat. The most common style of mantel
met with In this country today is that
made of polished wood. But the natural
limitations of wood as a material made Its
rlose proximity to ths fireplace not inly
unnpprnprlate. but positively dsntrerous.
Therefore, In olden days the fireplace was
always separated from the wooden mantel
piece by a facing of brick. This did well
enough when the mantel was more or less
primitive or when it waa purposely rough
or massive. But when tt became a work
of h!,rh finish ths brick were Incongrous.
To overcome this objection John law of

A Word for l iern of Paint.
OMAHA, July 2T.-To the Kdltor of The
Bee: Owners of buldings should realize
that It pays to use paint. A building
or even a fence, costs money and repairs
are expensive. The only way to preserve
material In buildings Is to protect It with
pa'nt. The weather and the sun then ex
ert their destructive Influences only upon
the cheap, easily renew aide covering.
As Willi the exterior, so with the Interior;
paint is cheap, clean, cheerful and easily
renewable, and when soiled can be washed;
and when, after long service, renewal Im
desired, a fresh coating mukes It new,
sweet and bright.
Pure lead begins to undergo chemical
change from the moment It leaves the
brush and change continues riiphllv until
It has crumbled from the painted surface.
In the course of the decay tt Is washed off
from roofs, houses and fences into the
drinking water and is dusted off from
doors, baseboards and window frames Into
tho air of living rooms, to produce a thou
sand forms of mysterious ailments the
symptoms of lead poisoning.
The better qualities of mixed paint ate
the rcBtilt of advancing civilization. It is
as much out of dale today for a painter to
mil his paints, by rule or thumb, as It
would he for a western farmer to attack a
hundred-acre wheat (hid with the sickle of
Bible days. Kvery thing now days is done,
ns far as possible, by unerring machinery,
under the eyes of experts and the presta
tion of paint is no exception to the rule.
Faint era object to ready-mixed paints,
because they provide free some 'of the
knowledge and time which the painter has
for sale. Many thoughtful painters, how
ever, believe in mixed paints and one of
them lias published his belief that "the
twentieth century painter will do very lit
tle mixing or preparing of paint hi his
shop."
A good mixed paint is always better than
lead and oil alone, or than lead combined
with tinting colors, and It Is entirely safe
to use. 1 1. J. PALM KR,

New Designs tor Metnl Ceilings.
Among sheet metal products there Is,
perhaps, none that has advanced more rap
Idly In favor than metal ceilings. In the
beginning no attempt at ornamentation was
made, and when used at ell either plain
flat sheets or crimped and corrugated iron
were tho only forms available. Within com
paratively few years, however, many ornu
mcntal designs In metal ceilings have ap
peared, and It Is now possible to finish ex
pensively decorated rooms with artistically
designed metal ceilings that thoroughly
harmonize with surrounding fittings. An
Important feature In ceiling work Is a per
fect fitting bead for a smooth and sightly
connection, and this has been carefully
perfected In all later designs. At the
present time three distinct styles of orna
mental ceilings are being produced, lxiuls

and Mantels
James Fo.
Chelsea, Mass., Introduced shout fifty years
ago the custom of separating the fireplace
from the wooden mantel by a greater or
less facing of bright colored glazed tile,
possessing a high sheen.
As a hard, durable material, born of the
hottest of fires, tile Is the most appropriate
material for fireplaces and mantels. The
original tile facing of mantels were usually
ornamented by modelling. The modern
tendency of Interior decoration, however,
goes rather to simplicity than to excessive
ornamentation, and towards far better
taste in the selection of materials and ap
propriate architectural forms. For this
reason the tilo facings are iiow usually
made of plain oblong shapes without other
decoration than the covering of colored
glaze. The woodwork of the mantel Is no
longer painted, striped or lined, but is
simply polished so as to show the grain
It Is no longer carved excessively in the
South Kensington style, but it is used in
a simpler form of mouldings, cornices and
dentaled members. Hut even now the
ornami ntal wooden mantels are too elabo
rate, too much ornamentid with columns.
