NEW HOUSES NEAR CUT-OFF
Buildings Designed ai Summer Homes
Are Made Permanent.
ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT NEW PAD
French Inventor Denlnna All Kinds

Operated by torrent from
Alcohol riant.
Omaha's colony of homo builders down
on the shores of Cut-Oft lake Is Increasing.
Several new houses are being built there
and It la noticeable that the character of
the houses now being- erected Is better than
when the first buildings were put up. Many
of those who are building now are erect
ing houses which shall be permanent.
Some even Intend to occupy their dwellings
all winter.
"My wife and I just decided we would
get away from worrying about a houae In
the city." said one of these. "We built this
house first Intending to occupy It only In
the hot months. But we decided It was
no use paying rent for a house up town
when we were living here. So we brought
all our furniture down and Installed It. I
think the lake will be Just as pretty when
It Is covered with Ice as It Is now."
One of the largest houses at Cut-Off lake
Is being erected on the Rod and Oun club
grounds by Roy Harbtrg, Arthur Hartnian
and John and Walter Sorenson. This
house is to be 18x24 feet In slse with a ten
foot porch In front. The height from the
floor to the eavea Is nine and a half feet.
It will be the: first house out there to be
built with, drop siding. It Is to be so con
structed that there will be windows on
practically all sides. Heavy shutters will
be provided so that the, house can be closed
up light as a box when the owners are
away. There will be no lean-to of any
kind, kitchen, dining and sleeping rooms
being contained within the walls of the
main structure. There will also be a fire
place for use In giving winter sleighing or
ice boat parties.
Work Is progressing rapidly on Omaha's
new downtown fireproof hotel, the Hen
shaw. which is being erected near Fifteenth
and Farntm streets. The contract for the
plumbing and heating has been awarded to
the Johhson-Rome-Daly company of this
city. The first floor will be occupied with
a swell cafe, offices, etc., while the upper
rooms will be most modern, with private
bath rooms for each.
Omaha's enterprise has reached out Into
neighboring territory.. The Johnson-Rowe-
Daly company of this city has recently
been awarded a lurge contract for the
Iowa State Institute at Qlenwnod, la. This
Is one of the largest contracts let In this
territory this season.
s
The modern conveniences in most homes
include gas, electric lights, bath, furnace
and city water. But in the neur future,
say the architects, these will be altogether
out of date so far as up-to-dateness Is
concerned. Everything will be done by
electricity. Such a house has been built
by a French architect and Is a wonder to
visitors. A man who railed on M. Knip
at his electric villa found the great Iron
gates of the estate closed. He pushed a
button. Immediately a shaft of light was
thrown on his face and then a mysterious
voice welcomed him and the gate swung
open. His host was In his house a hun
dred yards away and the voice, the light
and the unlocked gale were controlled by
him from his study. The guest walked in
nnd was met at the door by his host. An
electric door mat cleaned the mud from
his shoes automatically.
All the cooking was done by electricity.
Electricity took the place of the waiters at
the table. The master of the house con
trolled everything by means of buttons on
the table. When he pressed one the viands
appeared from a hole In the table which
communicated with the kitchen on the floor
below. Then he controlled the progress of
the dish around the table by pressure of
a button.
Heating and ventilating Is done automati
cally by electricity. Doors, shutters, dumb
waiters and elevators are opened and 'shut,
raised or lowered, by a mere pressure of a
button. The Inhabitant of such a house
on awakening In the morning can press a
button and open his shutters, press an
other and have a cup of coffee or the morn
ing newspapers or mall sent up to his bed
side. Washing machines, sewing machines and
many other small apparatus can be oper
ated by this same current. . The wonder
of this arrangement Is Its cheapness. One
plant does It all. In the city, of course,
the current could be purchased from a
company which has it for sals. The really
"modern" house of the future will ba the
house "electrically equipped throughout."
Mr. Ous Welse of the A. I. Root company
Is building him a residence at the southeast
corner of Thlrty-elxth and Cuming streets.
This Is fitted with the latest approved
plumbing and hot water heeling system,
which Is being Installed by the Johnson-Rowe-DaJy
company.
Mr. John J. Jones Is building new resi
dence at 2211 Maple street. The furnace Is
being Installed by the John Hussle Hard
ware company.
September la the best month for painting
evergreen trees. When the climate of Ne
braska Is considered and the beauty of the
evergreen tree, It Is a wonder that there are
not more of them to be seen on Omaha
properties. The treea, once well started,
grow sturdily and hardily, require almost
no care, and add greatly to the beauty of
a yard. Planted on the north aide of a
house they thrive best and also provide a
good break fur the north wind.
Crlss Thompson is erecting two houses
at Twenty-aixth and Mason streets. The
furnace work Is In charge of the John
Hussle Hardware company.
8. M. Blanchi Is building three houses at
Twenty-seventh and Bristol streets. The
furnace work on these residem-es la also
In charge of the John Hussle Hardware
company.
"What Omaha real estate men ought to
provide," said a woman who has returned
from a visit to New York, "is a furnished
ready-to-occupy' flat. They have them In
New York and some people think thiy
couldn't get along without them. Here we
have houses where the furnacea and win
dow shades and some other thins belong
to the house. It Is only a step further to
put In beds and tables and chairs. Of
course these flats are not provided with
everything. The tenant can put In his own
"ancy work and pictures and glmcracka to
give it the home touch."

employe of the Northwestern railroad In
the freight department. Promotions came
rapidly until his business ability attracted
the attention of the officers of C. B. Ha
vens & Co., and seven years ago he ac
cepted a position with them, two years
later becoming a stockholder and secre
tary of the corporation. Two years ago, a
building material department was added to
the business and Mr. Hasbrouck was placed
In charge. In the face of keen competition
he has built up a well-established trade In
building material that ranks with the fore
moBt In the city, and haa established
reputation for sound business Judgment and
Integrity that has won the entire confidence.
of associates and customers. In his new
field of activity Mr. Hasbrouck will be In
j charge of the sales of the largest plsnt of
! the Corrbean system of Portland cement
plants, one of the largest cement producers
In the United States.
The contract for the copper cornice on
the addition to the Merchants National
bank building has been let to BJorenson
& Haas.
An architect points out one of the great
est advantages of the house built of ce
ment blocks set in two layers with a va
cant space between. The advantage of this
construction Is that It allows for a circula
tion of air between the two and therefore
renders the walla less pervious to heat
or cold. The houses of Russia have been
built this way fur many years In order to
keep out the Intenss and continued cold
of .the long winter. The architect declarea
that this Is the Ideal system of building
for comfort and for economy. In a house
built this way the heating medium could
be sent In circulation through these hollow
walls, thus giving an even heat to the
whole building. Water pipes could be laid
In this hollow spsce and all danger of
f reeling and bursting would be obviated.
With the Increasing cost of lumber the
concrete manufacturers are having their
harvest. Concrete blocka are now being
produced to compare favorably In price
with brick and frame. The Nebraska Con
crete Reinforcing company Is making plans
to enlurge its plant and Is preparing to
manufacture blocks all the year around.
The company expects to carry about 30,000
blocka during the next season.
