Abundant building material of all kind la
on liand In the Omaha market at the pres
ent time. The price, also, is not aa high
aa people might think by rumora circulated
about the general highness In the prices
of everything from bricks to bread. An
inquiry at the lumber yards, the brick
yards and other places discloHes a good
stale of affairs fo. the builder of homes.
Now is the appointed time to get a supply
of materials for erecting a home.
"We havo made a reduction of 20 per
cent in the price of all kinds of dry lum
ber," said O. W. Dunn, secretary of the
C. N. IJletz Lumber company. "A reduc
tion on the price of the best British Colum
bia rod cedar shingles Is also In effect at
the present time. Those shingles have sold
all the year ut 14.28 and we are now offering
them at 13.75. The principal cause for thla
reduction Is the fact that we have an extra
largo number on hand."
In other lumber yarda there Is an easing
on the j. rice of lumber, and a consequent
greater output In spite of the fact that
this Is not tho reason of the year when
the thoughts of most houso builders lightly
turn to thoughts of lumber, brick and
tone.
Building goes on apace and the recent
financial flurry has had but Blight effect
upon the operations of those who are
making Omaha a great city of homes.
Work has not been stopped on any build
ings now being erected and the call for.
lnborerr both skilled and unskilled. Is as
urgent as ever. Most contractors are bend
ing every effort now to getting the build
Ins they are engaged in constructing un
der cover so that If cold weather over
lakes them they can continue the work
inside and lose no time. Several buildings
havo been started during the last week
ami the walls are beng pushed up with
wonderful rapidity. Builders and investors
Ray tho call for homes is too urgent to
let money He Idle all winter. This Is espe
cially true of fluts and upartinent houses
nnd a remarkable number of these arc be
ing built in the near-ln portion of the city.
Some of them, too, uro ulready spoken
for and will be occupied ut the earliest
possible moment.
"The problem of getting sufficient hard
wood . lumber for tho demands of home
builders today Is a serious one." said u
member of the Omaha Hardwood Lumber
company. "People today are building finer
houses in Omaha than they ever built be
fore. But tin annual cut of huruwoou"
lumber today is about a billion feet less
than It was ten years ago, and during this
" nueiu price oi tne different
busses of lumber lias udvanced from 23 to
(! per cent.
"People today ore using more of this lum
ber In their houses than ever before. They
are paying the udvanced price. But as to
tho future, where Is the supply coming
from? n Ohio and Indiana, which f ;rnlshel
more thun any other state ten years nao,
has fallen off one-hulf. Tho chief sources
t supply ut present are the lake states,
tho lower Mississippi and the Appalachian
mountains.
"Probably the greatest source for tho
fulure is the Appalachian mountains, where
there arc 73,OjO,ow ncres covered with the
ureutest variety of fine woods. The gov
rtimcnt estimates that this will produce
-'V.w.OiXVCoo feet annually If properly taken
tare of and protected from devastation bv
lire." T
The report of tho Omaha building ln
siicctor for October is a fair barometer of
tliw slate of building in Omaha. This re
port shows an advance of exactly one-third
in the number of building permits issued
during October this year and tho number
Issued the same month last year. The per
centage of increase In the valuation of the
buildings to bo erected Is about the name
It per cent greater than last year. In
October. lltnJ, there were 100 permits Issued
for buildings valued at $305,150; In October,
l!W7. there were 133 permits issued for build
ings valued ut 1500,513. Some of the largest
permit were for upurtmeul hoiuies. Tho
Btivhlow apartment building to be erected
at Sixteenth and Yates streets will cost
ITo.OiM; one ut Thirty-third and Karnam
streets, being built by V. K. Potter, will
cost Ho.ttO; J. C. Root will build one at
Thirty-second and Pacific streets costing
SAOuo.
"Elisabethan houses are proving popular
In Omaha," said mi architect. "These
houses have large roomy porches extending
generally uround two or three sides of the
building. The roofs ;tre broad anil high
and of the. gable type. Often tho part
within the gablo is finished in plaster and
timber. Sometimes tho second story can
be made to overhang the Hist u foot or two.
thus making the most of a small lot.
Houses of tho Moorish typo with roofs at
a low slant and broad eaves are ulso quite
popular. They have un air of substantial
ly and coziness about them that is very
pleasing."
The requirements of tho Burlington for
increased trackage promises to result in a
decided advantage to consumers of coal.
Among the coal compuniea which have bet n
forced to seek new yards la the Victor
White Coal tompuiiy. This company has
consolidated with the T. C. Havens com
pany In opening a yard at Thirtieth and
Boyd streets, which will insure more prompt
deliveries for patrons in that part of tho
city and a decided saving in the haul. The
general yarda of the new company will be

During October permits were taken out

cording to official reports to Construc
tion News, for the construction of 11,785
buildings. Involving a total consideration
of $41,350,179. against 13.179 buildings

The sltijatlon at the present time Is some
what complex. The middle west, including
Ohio, makes the best 'showing. Surprising
as It may seem, however. New York City,
which has been running behind for months,
; made a gain In October of 63 per cent. Chi
cago, wmcn snowea a neavy gain in Sep
tember, In October had a loss of 6 per cent.
A decrease In Philadelphia of 59 per cent
Is a very material falling off for the rea
son that the totals of that city never vary
greatly. Ohio seems to be In pretty good
; condition, Cleveland having a gain of Sil
1 ier cent and Cincinnati 118. Toledo and
Columbus, O., have suffered srnall losses.
In the northwest St. Paul and Minneapolis
! showed Increases respectively of 77 and 13
per cent, while in Duluth there was a de
crease of 33. It Is a little late and may be
it is not the cause, but St. Louis begins
to show the effect of overbuilding, the de
crease amounting to 66 per cent, while
Kansas City had a gain of 24. There were
Increases In Omaha of 37, Salt Lake City
22 and Denver 2 per cent. The south gen
erally showsa falling off, Baltimore lead
ing with 34 per cent, Chattanooga 50,
Mobile 20, while Birmingham haa a gain of
97. The Pacific coast cities are not making
quite aa satisfactory a showing, but the
figures for Portland and Seattle have not
been received. San Francisco allowed a
decrease of 75, Los Angeles 45, Tacoma 22
per cent, while Spokane had an increase
of 82.
Reports for tho time being Indicate that
considerable new work lias been deferred
temporarily because of the tight money
market. This 1 to be expected, but it Is
believed that It will be brief and that mat
ters will right themselves within a very
short time. Vey little building, as most
people know, is for speculative purposes.
It is to meet urgent necessity and owners
are anxious to go ahead with prospective
Improvements Just as soon as conditions
are a little more favorable.

Kountze's fifth addition, located on the
south side, Is to be opened and a number
of new residences erected at once. The
tract will mokn one of the desirable dis
tricts of the south side. It is between
j Eleventh and Thirteenth streets and a
point Just south of William street, to Dor
cas street. Tho addition contains 127 lots
In all, and has Just been opened and
graded. Streets have been cut through fjr
the first time, water, sewi r and cement
Bidewalks are now butng put In. The new
addition Is the nearest "close in" addition
which has been placed on tho market for
a long time, it being only n few blocks
from the wholesaling district and the big
Tenth street depots, and yet far enough
out to be out of the noise of trains, street
cars and the odor of coffee roasters. The
average lots ia said tb be wnrth $vio, and
they will be placed on snle ahout the mid
die of the month by Hustings & Heyden
who have secured the tract from tUi.
United Real Estate & Trust company.
While a number of sales have been madi
by real estate firms as a direct result of
the flurry In financial circles, and the feel
ing of many people that they would rather
have their money In city property than
drawing 3 per cent Interest at the banks,
real estate firms which handle mortgages
have been doing a big business. The mort
gages held 'by real estate linns on city
property have been most In demand, and
a number for amounts ranging from $1,0X)
to $3,000 have been sold to Omahans, who
will receive from 8 to 8 per cent Interest
on them. The banks had scarcely sus
pended partial payment of can;li when a
woman appeared ut the office of a real
estate firm in the New York Life build
ing. "If you will take my check for $1,750 on
a bank in Council Bluffs, I will buy u moil
gage or a houso and lot." she said. The
dealer sorted out a number of mortgages
and accepted the check, tho piece of paper
leing deposited at an Omaha bank, which
received a clearing house certificate of the
Council Bluffs bank In return, while the
real estate dealer had $1,750 uddltional to
his bank account.
"One good thing about it." said the dealer,
"thousands of dollars have been freed for
the real estate men the past two weeks.
Mortgages running for from one to five
years have been sold, and the dealers will
come out of this with money to buy oilier
tracts and their working capital will be
larger."

Modern architects aro using by far more
care in planning houses that are being
built today with a view of successfully
heating every room. With hot air fur
naces, which are conceded by all to be
the cheapest to install and the most
economical to ..maintain, especially In our
climate, where out of seven or eight
cool months, only three months, December,
January and February, can be called cold
months. During these months a steady
Are Is needed, but during September, Oc
tober and November. March and April,
only a few shovels of coal aro needed to
take off tho chill In a house where the
furnace Is properly installed. In the older
classes of houses heated with furnaces
there are thousands of oblong houses
where a few of the runs of furnatfe pipe
are from twenty to thirty feet from the
furnace and In most of such houses a
few rooms are heated perfectly, , while
other rooms ore cold and practically un
inhabitable. This condition is brought about by sev
eral things: The furnaces are set too
far to one end of the house; Inadequate
supply of cold air return; distance too fat
from the furnace to carry hot air and no
ventilation In these rooms which are eo
far away. Under such conditions a com
bination of hot air and hot water will
heat such rooms perfectly.
Almost any furnace made haa plenty of
room for a hot water heater and by put
ting radiators In such cold rooms as can
not be heated by the regular runs of hot
air these rooms can be heated perfectly
by hot water. It Is, In fact, practically
getting something for nothing to heat such
rooms with waste heat from your furnace,
as fully nine-tenths of all furnaces used
burn more coal than la necessary to heat
the houses. This may not apply so much
to the real modern house as furnacemen
are doing better work now, and especially
if they are not restricted to competition
prices to do the work.
To save tlmo in figuring your Job, meas
ure the rooms to be heated with hot
water. Measure the length, width and
height and multiply all together and di
vide the product by twenty-five. To Il
lustrate, If the room is ten feet wide,
twenty feet long and ten feet high, it bus
2,005 cubic feet which., divided by twenty
five, equals eighty feet of radiation. Al
low a little for pipe. Healers are made
so that three or four can be connected
together and several rooms can be heated
with hot water from your hot air furnace.
After the original expense of putting in
such an equipment Is paid you will have a
most comfortable homo with .all. rooms
lieuted equally and with practically less
expense to maintain. In you effort to heat
the cold rooms your furnace Is forced be
yond its capacity, which results In loss
of heat, which finds Its way out of the
chimney or by radiation in the cellar and
under new conditions, with a moderate,
heat, the entire houso is kepi comfortable
with the smallest given amount of fuel.

outcome of the experiment will be watched
with interest.
"The troublo with the parquetry floors
which some people put Into their houses,"
raid a local builder, "is that the lumber ia
not sufficiently dried. In parquetry work
tho woods have to bo perfectly seasoned
because If they are not tha Joints will
suffer. And a parquetry floor depends en
tirely for Its beauty ttnd attractiveness on
the excellence of the Joinings of thu difer
enl colored woods of which It Is made. The
lumber should be thoroughly, air seasoned
before It Is put to the drying process of
ths kilns, which la often too rapid for good
resulta."
