Heiri of William Cullen Bryant Own Much. Omaha Property. "WOODRUTF MAT, SPEAK HERE ft ral Estate Rzrhanir Is Trrtasr to Mer Sretarr of Maalclpal Ipa;a for Address ou ClTle Braatr. With th death of Julia 8. Bryant in Parts several weeks a some $25,100 worth of Omaha property passes Into the hfinda of new owners, heir to the relate of Mias Ilryant. Ths Bryant eittate at one time owned mora than $100,000 worth of Oniahu property. Julia 8. Bryant was the youngest daughter of William Culli-n Bryant anl held a Urge part of her share of the estate In Omaha property. Other heirs of the great newspaper man and poet have bought real estate mortgages of Omaha agents for a number of years and not long ago two largs mortgages werp sold to heirs of the estats. But the property has gradually ben sold at good prices and the old family realised handsome profits on sinie of l ho Investments made In Omaha. Agenla hand ling the property in Omaha have received notloa fo sell none of the property until tho salute Is settled and the $i.ou0 worth of property has been temporarily with drawn from the market. . President W. T. Graham of the Real testate exchange is in correspondence with Clinton R. Woodruff, secretary of the Na tional Municipal leau. , with the hope of j-rsLCgin to have Mr. Woodruff speak juei dusujf February. TUo aecretary la to speak In Kansas City on February , and It Is possible that srrangements may be made to have him vlHlt Omaha either on his way to Kansas City or after his date there. Mr. Woodruff la a speaker with a national reputation and has been sctlve In the work of the league for ome time. It Is lit the hope of securing an address by Rerretary Woodruff that rral estate dealers and those active In the Improvement clubs of Omaha will start a local branch of the municipal league In Omaha. The local branches have done much In various cities of the Tntted Slates to Improve the physi cal appearance of the city, securing legis lation looking to restriction of bill boardB, removal of unsightly architecture and other work similar to that sought by the Improvement clubs. Work will be stalled ui the nest meeting of the Omaha Real. Ktitate exchange on the arranRements for the annual banquet of the exchange. This Is usually held early In February, but owing to the fact that the exchange has been busy discussing many Important subjects for the lat few weeks no attempt hus been made to ar range for the banquet. The annual dinner and speechniaklng carnival will le dally brilliant this year, as the real estate dealers anticipate an unusually good year and the general feeling has never txeii better. The Interest In the exchange has also reached a high point and t lie organiza tion Is in active working condition. Joseph I-eshy, a railroad contractor, bought through Hastings aV Keyden, last week, the home at 8014 Einmet street, Kountse Plce, for W.3UO: With the sale of the property to Mr. Leahy, Omaha real estate dealers have sold more than $40.0ii0 worth of Omaha property to railroad con tractors who have made their money In the west during the last summer. Mr. Leahy la the fifth contractor who has bought rMldeoc firpsortg iMtWtt Ui last five weeks, and announces the Intention of making his, future homo In Omaha. The Slabaugh flats were sold to a railroad con tractor and his son for $10,000 as a home and Investment. Acreage traota will be quite popular dur ing 1WJ8 from Jill indications and more coun try homes aTe promised than during any other year In the building of Omaha. Har rison & Morton have' announced they will open at once the 20-acre tract west of the Field club golf links and extend Woolworth avenue through the acreage tram. This piece of real estate is near the highest points of the city, and a view Is obtained of Dundee, F-ast and West Ambler places, the broad fields of the county farm and te llanscom park district. Ground Is be ing broken for ono or two new homes In the place and It Is selling for $1,000 an acre. W. T. Graham has more than twenty at res in a fine trait northwest of the end of the Ames avenue tar line, which he con templated opening; later. George & Co. have Fairacies, west of Dundee, and one $JS.W residence Is being erected on the tract. Florence will undoubtedly retain Its popularity as a rural residence place, wh'le Gould Diets has secured many acres of abandoned" land on Thirty-eighth street and Thirty-eighth avoiiue, which will be graded and otherwise improved during the summer. "I believe private money will be easier soon and there sre plenty of demands for It." said 8. P. Bostwick of the firm of Payne & Bostwick, In speaking of the Inquiries being made for loans. "I Know of a number of applications for f per cent loans which are wanted on Omaha real estate, and when It has been brought to the attention of Individuals having capital to loan on such securities, the loans have been favorably considered. These loans are usually made for three or five years. lja4 piapr, Untf 4 ttoa4 FUU the borrower to pay. $100 or multiples of $100 on each' Interest date aftrr the first year. This makes private money very convenient and the outlook Is that many such loans will be made. More inquiry has been noticed tn the last week. Things are looking better and while deals are not being made very fast everything has the appearance of health and strength In the real -estate' business. I believe it will be a year of small home building, the ten dency being to build ,five and six-room cottages. I do not look for many large and expensive homes, but the numerous small ones may cause rents to decline from IS to 20 per cent. Rents have been a little high for the cottage property and they will adjust themselves as moro people get their own homes." Bertrand W. Page bought two lots on Twenty-fifth avenue north of the fort of Hastings A Heyden during the week which he will Improve. Burt tfmlth of the Missouri River Lumber company has bought lots on Spencer street, tn Kountze Place between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, of the same firm, which he will improve. P. C. Best bought the cottage at Thirty-seventh and Dodge of the firm for $1,800. Harry Tukey, secretary of the Omaha Real Estate exchange, Is spending a week in Chicago. A. U Reed, accompanied by Mrs. Reed, left during the week for Flor ida coast 'points and Cuba, where' they will spend several weeks. A resolution will be Introduced at the next meeting of the RtU Estate exchange asking the exchange to endorse a plan for the state of Nebraska to guarantee bank deposits la Institutions chartered by the state. Though no failure of a Ne braska bank has been recorded during the recent panic many; real estate men are of the opinion that an additional feeling of security would be added by. the state pro yldiAg sV XuaA La sm way. which could he used to pay .depositors In the event of a failure. GIGANTIC DIGGING AT. PANAMA .it Great Battlo Betweea Mil and JVa tore Is Belast Fought to a Finish. It Is one thing to blast and shovel a mil lion cubic yards out of Culebra, but It Is another problem so to place the excavation that It will be out of the way for all time or so to place It that It will protect the canal channel on' the lowlands of the eastern portion of the waterway. The Investigator at Culebra, as on other portions of the ditch, Is Impressed at the outset with the fact that the railroad is the key to the situation boUi from an engineering and a sanitary standpoint. This canal cannot be constructed upon a trunk sewer plan. All of us have Intelligent friends who seem to .thtnjt that It is only necessary to excavate and throw the dirt along the banks of the waterway. But as the tourist obtains his first view of the cut at Empire he observes that ths rapid ity with which the dirt trains are enabled to move out Is the measure of the day's achievement. Through this region, in order tb assure a prism of definite width, it has' been found necessary . to Increase the proposed width from time to time as one landslide followed another, and while that Increases the total amount of the excavation It renders possible the placing of tracks one above another t accommodate the ' dirt trains. During the month of July, 1S04. $1,000 cubic . yards of dirt were excavated at Culebra cut; a year laterthe monthly exca vation was upward of 10,000 cubic yards, and during the month of July. 1908, 157.000 cubic yards were removed from the nine mile atrip. It Is worthy of not that on-Maroh H 1307. tb Xij( xcavUoa ww create thaa the amount shoveled out during the first month of July cited. The present monthly excavation varies between 600,000 and 800,000 cubic yards, and with the passing of the rainy season 1.000,000 cubic yards a month will be the assured excavation record of the Culebra army. . But back of this record of monthly exca vation and as a preliminary condition es sential to the present efficiency of the Culebra army is the story of the conquest of the Isthmian Jungle. The canal cut proper has been a constant source of trouble to the health division. In many Instances outlets for drainage are imprac ticable and the water supply can only be ditched In one pool. The progress of each steam shovel leaves In its train new and varied drainage problems. This has necessitated constructing pools by filling In, deepening ditches, confining the water by rough stone walls, and ditch ing the large side pools, thus turning all the water Into the main ditch, where It forms a swift running stream, unfavorable to mosquito breeding. Drip barrels of oil have been placed at points where the cur rent slowed down, and this, combined with the rapidity of the current, has re duced mosquito breeding in the canal cut to a minimum. The malarial reports of the district physi cian being tabulated, the number of cases In the different camps Is compared with that of the previous three weeks. If there Is a decided Increase of malaria at any camp the Inspector of that district Is tele phoned to look for the point of Infection. The, mosquito Inspector takes the list and: goes over the whole ground in order Lof greatest Increase, locating or confirm ing the point of infection and reports upon the measures best adapted for the removal of the same. All the laborers of the dis trict who can be spared from the daily routine work are at once concentrated at that point to make a swift and effective end to the mosquito hrsedJLox rltirn Out West. SUNDAY LAW TO TAKE A REST Police 'Will Not Interfere with Those Who Wish to Open for Business. "Bo far as the police force Is concerned, there will be nothing iclng toward en forcing the Sunday blue laws tomorrow," said Captain Dunn yesterday. Carriage, street cars, pool rooms, barber shops and 'everything else except saloons may run t their heart's content. There will be on spe cial officers detailed to gather evidence, and neither will the regular patrolmen be In structed to gather evidence against Sunda.' violators on the beats. There are several hundred reports In thohands of the city prosecutor now, with evidence Ka'hered by the police against Hun. lay violators, and until he begins to do Something with thosn no other reports wilt be made.
