larger than during any other January In
the history of Omaha
Everything conspires to make this a V
banner year," said a man who Is In thor
ough touch with the situation In all linea
connected with the building Interests. "The
home builders are going to be busier than
ever, for they are realizing aa never before
that money la never so safe aa when It
Is placed in a nice house. As long as hu
man beings dwell In bouses made of wood
and brick and atene so long will a house
be a good proposition and when a house is
built In a rapidly and substantially grow
ing city 'Ike Omaha it la a bettei propo
sition than a real gold mine. A house
cant bust up in hard times and if It's In
sured and not mortgaged, it is Bafer than
government bonds."
The prices of all materials needed In
building a house are on the toboggan. The
recent financial flurry IS responsible for
this plessant situation from the standpoint
of the man who la building. And it Is ala.
due to fierce competition and heavy pro
duction. Particularly ia the latter true In
the cement world. Cement has been used
In such vast qusntities In recent ):
since the advent of the cement sge tlia:
it has invited the investment Of a great
amount of capital, more capital, in ?ar".,
than there as room for. The remit is
that the cement market is off at p:' ient.
Prices are all the way from &0 cents to
tl.SO a rarrel less for the mineral mucJape
than they were a few weeks ago.
The same Is true of lumber. Prices on
northern pine stoik have gone off sbout S3
a thousand and there 1s a corresponding
reduction on several other varieties of com
monly used wooda Labor Is alao more
obtainable than It was a few months no.
Skilled laborers sre. however, still rsre
birds and much sought after by the build
ers. On account of the open weather of
the winter, much of the work requir'ng
skilled I a borer a haa been cleared away and
thlnga are tretty well cleaned up. ready
for the great amount of work which wtll
be started with the opening ot spring, when
continued mild weather can be relied upon.
Something "different" is the dining rnrm
of a house which has been completed re
cently In the West Farnam district. In
stead cf following the old linea of regular
foar walled rooms with four right angle
corners and the celling forming a mono
tonous right angle with the walla, this
room haa bejn made octagonal, four of
the sides being larger than the other four.

of It. Imagine a city made of these hideous
things, all uniform or nearly ao In aixe and
style, their ugly cold stony walla the
dreary aspect o the thing. Think of the
decadence In the matter of the aesthetic
side of building which would follow the
adoption of this scheme and which would
Incresse with every generation. No op

A notable feature of plans made In new
homes tjuilt In Omaha within the last few
years is the absence or at least the curtail
ment of interior walls. That Is. the several
rooms in which the family live, move and
have their home being are thrown as much
as possible without the violation of tradi
tion into one.
"What ia the sense of putting walls be
tween the parlor and the sitting room?"
said a man who has Just completed a home
of this type. "I asked myself that question
when I started ta make my plans. I could
not get a satisfactory answer on the part
of the walls, and so I threw them out. The
only thing I could see an inside wall was
useful for was to make profit in the pocket
of the plasterer and the wall paper man.
snd possibly to lang pictures on. Outside
of those uses It only to.'k up room a.ul
made the house seem cramped and smull
and stifling."
Between the parlor and living room and
lwtween the living room and dining room of
this house there la practically 110 all at
all. There ia only a slight a.l'utme-it fro:n
the walls and at a distance of a!xut two and
a half feet further into the room stand
pillars of wood, beautifully and hsrmoni
ously stained and polished. The effect Is
that of roominess, the -lines are much
broadened and what might seem a very
small house becomes a roomy and comfort
able one.
The building of apartment hous will b
pushed with greater activity dn-lng the
coming sum.-r.er than ever bef;re. say tue

the subject. Plans are being drawn for
