HOUSES FOR OMAHA PEOPLE
Past Merely an Indication of Future
Building Activity.
COMING SEASON TO BE BUSY ONE
Ilollders Fipect that Even More
Money V. Ill Do Int Into New
Homes Than Last Year
showed.
As a city that Is growing with a steady,
nValthy, substantial growth, Omaha is now
known throughout the T'nlted States. In
(act the recent pcnlo and the present de
pression which rules in many part of the
country has been an HI wind which has
blown nothing but good to Omaha. The
conservative position of builders, business
men and banks alike here and the sound
common s?nse which hns been exercised by
these Interests In the days when others
Were flying r.leh on the precarious wave of
prosperity bore fruit where,- tanlc came
and Omaha found itself the .Spot In the
United States practically unaffected ex
cept aa It reflected the embarrassed con
dition of those banks In the east which had
borrowed a considerable portion of Its
surplus capital.
The building j-ecord of Omaha haa kept up
since the panic sowed Its seed of diutrut
has advertised the city throughout the
country and mada Its position stronger and
more secure than ever and given Increased
confidence to those who are putting their
money Into property here and helping to
build up the city and participating In the
benefits of Its substantial prosperity.
So far this year the reports of the build
ing Inspector show that the building being
done and being prepared for Is not only
equal to but greater than for the corres
ponding period last year. Indications are
that Omaha home builders will Invest mor
than the 2,2S8,525 which was put Into sub
stantial and beautiful Omaha homes last
year.
If you are waiting for Mr. Edison to Vyr
feet his arrangements for building Mom
fortablo home with all appurtenances
thereto and a home which will never need
painting and will last forever, all for the
small and Insignificant sum of 11,000 you
may not get the home you are planning
for several years to come. Tills la what
Omaha builders think about the plan of
mjulded houitea anyway.
"The moulds for one of those houses
would cost at least S-'O.OCO," said one man.
"A mould could not be used to erect more
than ttoo houses each month. Therefore,
It Is hard to foe tiow the profit for the
builder la going to txt realised. A for
of say ten men at the least would be
needed to put up the moulds, mix the
cement and noi.r It in on each house.
These men at 93 a day would amount to
a day for labor alone and they could not
possibly put up the houte In leas than tan
days. There would be a bill for 9300 for
labor alone which Is on a very conserva
tive, estimate. By the time the cost of tile
cement and finishing materials Is figured,
it amounts to more than 91.OU0 already. And
where are you going to get the money for In
terest on yvur $20,000 Investment la the
steel mould Besides who would want to
live In an ugly thing like one of those
houses when It la finished?"
An Omaha contractor haa completed a
house on which ha placed a shingle roof.
It is to all appearances just an ordinary
shingle roof. But It Is expected to show
what's In It within the next fifty year or
bo. The shingles were dipped In the cresote
solution recently experimented with by the
United States foresting service. This solu
tion la said to preserve the shingle by keep
ing water out of the fiber of the wood.
The experts who searched for and discov
ered the solution say the shingle will last
longer than three ordinary shingles. The
cost of the cresote solution Is smaJl.
The winter's cold haa not stopped work
on' a line of five handsome flats which
are being built on the northeast corner of
Twentieth and Cass streets.. The excava
tion and foundation work have been done
during the last three weeks. The flats
will set back from the street far enough
to 'allow room for a cozy little grass plot
in front, which Is a distinctive and decid
edly pretty feature of Omaha flats and
apartment houses.
As a still closer competitor to clay brlok
cement Is entering the field now In the
making of brick. It is claimed that the
cement brick Is superior to the brick made
of clay for several reasons. In making
the brick of clay considerable time and
labor is required. It has to be burned for
days. The brick made of cement, on the
other hand, is met el y moulded pnl then
set aside to dry. Within twenty-four hours
It is ready for use. An Important factor
In connection with this brick Is thf.t It can
be made out of slag, ctone chirpings or
even cinders. Apparently there is no rea
son why it shouldn't be made out of Iron
filings, tin cans, old bottles or broke i class
with the help of the sovereign cement.

at Life.
A doctor who thinks ho knows and
cheerfully admits It, puts forth the prop
osition that "the object of feeding is to
give the body materials out of which to
build and maintain Itself," and offers this
choice of materials for "throe sensible
meals:"
A breakfast of fruit, cereals with cream,
brown bread and ' butter, and a glaas of
mUk will fulfill any requirement. Or a
morning meal of two raw eggs, beaten
up with milk, together with fruit and cna
or two slices of hrywn bread aurh a meal
Is equally nutrUlous and palatable.
For dinner, fresh meat, roast or boiled;
baked potato; plain salmi dress-d with
olive oil ar.d a few drops of lemon Juice;
perhaps another cooked vegetable, such
as turnips, spinach, or parsnips; fruit,
and brown bread will prove in every
seiise a wholesome and acceptable meal.
The third meal, if such be taken, may
be similar to breakfast, or It may consist
of merely fresh fruit and a glass of milk,
with perhaps a cracker or a bit of bread.
These meals are not all vegetarian, or
all raw. or all fruit; but they are simple,
they are moderate, and. If taken in proper
quantity, they will solve the question of
diet, so far as It la ever likely to be solved
by erring man.
Conditions Locally Are Moat F.nceur
agiag In Thla Reitard and Busy
Season ta Anticipated
by Dealers,
Along with the statement of the banks
that loans In Omaha exceed, by almost
n,000,000, tre figure of the December state
ment, comes the news that the east has
returned to the west to place loans,
and prefers the securities on real
estate whlcb are offered to the stocks and
bonds offered In the east. An Idea of the
desirability of western loans may be gath
ered from the statement Issued by the
state of New Hampshire, which shows
thut fifty-two savings banks of that state
have $7,668,6C1 loaned in the west. A
large part of it Is in Nebraska and west
ern Iowa. This Is 1,000.000 more than
the holdings of New Hampshire savings
banks last year and $2,000,000 more than
the amount held in 1902. The maximum
of eaatern loans on western real estate
was probably reached In 1896. At that
time New Hampshire alone had almost
$10,000,000. The amount has never been
as large since, though the savings banks
of the state have signified their willing
ness to place larger amounts. One Vermont
Insurance company has made $10,000,01)0
of Nebraska farm loans and has a large
amount on Omaha city property.
While the national banks of Omaha have
lltureased their loans during the last ninety
Uays, when "hard' times" has been the
cry, the savings banks and loan ami, sav
ings associations, have been making every
t effort to secure money to muUe more Joans
and have been supplying money to keep
the present building operations going. One
of the largest building assuciatlons hud
$212,000 loans contracted when the
national banks put the lid on. This as
sociation has rut the amount down in
sixty days to less than $50,000 and will
be In a position to furnish ready money
within a few weeks. The company has
made a few loans in advance, agreeing to
supply money during the early uprlng. It
is said by the officials of the association
that by May 1, enough money will be paid
into meet every requirement and building
operations and home builders will not be
delayed by the inability of tile loan and
savings association to supply ready
money.
One of the firms which has had Increased
Inquiry for city property is the Shinier &
Chase company. Beside the score of seii
ous""nqulrles which the company has had
the last week, the firm haa sold the home
of John R. Rylen at Thirty-third street and
Grand avenue to Oeorge Marshall for $2,0i
The property consists of a six-room house
and two and a halt acres of ground. The
eight-room modern home at Eighteenth and
Sprague streets, which was built last year
by Bhlmer Chase, was sold to H. Ximui
sen, cashier of the lirug Brewing company,
for $3,500, while Charles H. Poore of Hay
den Bros., sold the five-room houBe at 1608
Maple street to Harry Dunn of the Omaha
& Council Bluffs Street Railway company
for $1,800.
E. T. Heyden of Hastings & Heyden and
William T. Norrls have returned from a

Gulf of Mexico points, where they have
been looking over truck garden, fruit and
farm lands.
A. I Reed, president of the Byron Reed
company, will leave during the coming
week for a trip through the south, which
will Include Cuba. Mr. and Mrs. Reed
started for their trip several weeks ago,
when scarlet fever broke out In their home
and postponed their visit to the south.
"Consider a potato," said A. L. Reed.
"See how It grows. It tolls not, neither
does It make any noise about the city of
Omahtl yet I know a Nebraska potato, ex
hibited In Australia, which caused an east
ern capitalist to buy 640 acres of Nebraska
land. That Is why I believe that an ex
hibit of Nebraska products, shown In the
east or In foreign countries, would bring
the citizens we desire to the west. They
do not know the possibilities of the west
ern soli or they would be out here with
ua I favor the form of advertising which
will carry the exhibits back to the people
who are always out of work. Factories are
shutting down there, while the factoriei
of tho west cannot get the help they need
in normal times. Carry the message to
the east so they will believe It back there
and we will increase our population."

One of the largest farm sales of the year
was made by John McCague when he sold,
during the week, the 312 acres In Sarpy

to an Iowa farmer for $25,000 cash. The
farm Is near "Walnut Lodge," the farm
of Guy C. Barton, but the purchaser de

paying the price In silence and taking

CREIGBTOiYS GREAT OUTLOOK
Father Mageveny Says Omaha is an
Intellectual Gateway.
NEW PRESIDENT BEACHES CITY
Tells of . Favarable Impression of
Omaha and Predicts New Depart- "
mcnte for University to Meet
Demanda of the West.
Rev. Eugene A. Mageveny, who succeeds
Rev. M. P. Dowllng as president of Crelgh
ton university, arrived In Omaha Saturday
morning from Detroit, where he has been
professor of philosophy, and when seen at
the university gave his opinion of his new
field of labor and the outlook for the great
university.
"As Omaha Is a gateway' and great center
commercially, so it will be Intellectually,
If It Is not already," said Father Mageveny.
"I have been here before and I know much
of "the Institution by a personal acquaint
ance with members of the faculty.
"I do not know of a city In which we
have a college or university which had the
advantages offered by Omaha. In the first
place I understand the city is back of ;he
.Crelghton university. This is of great
Importance and Is a great help to any col
lege. Then the university has been con
ducted on broad lints, and has friends In
every denomination as well as among the
business and professional men of tne city.
The faculties of the medical and dental
colleges are not tied In any way. They are
broad men and have made many friends
because of their breadth of view.
Miking Friends for Omaha.
"The city is making life-long friends of
the students who are going out from ftie
college and In years to come they will be
a great source of stn-ngth to Omaha and
the west. All over the west they will take
their places, some of them as members of
faculties in other colleges, Just as the pro
fessors fn our universities are men trained
at Yale and Harvard and the eastern col
leges. The intellectual centers are moving
westward. Just as tho commercial centers
are and Omaha is here In a position which
cannot be equalled.
"The outlook Is for continued growth.
Who can say what this university will be
in fifty years, as it expands to meet the
nted of an aggressive and bounding city.
An engineering department may be added,
and the outlook Is for a strong agricultural
college and other departments, which will
not be inferior to any similar departments
in the country. When I first knew Crelgh
ton It consisted only of the college course.
Since then it has expanded and added the
law, medical, dental and college of phar
macy. Support of the City.
"Compared with other schools which we
have In the country Crelghton stands high.
While the city of Omaha contributes some
3o0 students to the enrollment of the uni
versity, Detroit contributes but 200 In a
city of 400.OU0. This shows the friendly
feeling which exists In the city for Crelgh
ton, and I am glad to come here to take
up the work In a city which Is so loyal
to the university."
Father Mageveny was trained la t)U
Louis, completing his studies in a Jesuit
school. He has been identified with many
lines of church and school work, but has
spent most of his time In the class rooms
of Marquette university at Milwaukee and
Detroit college at Detroit.
HELPFUL TIPS FOR EDITORS
Correspondence Course Designed to
Lend Variety to Their
Declines."
It Is generally agreed by the writing craft
that the current magazine methods of de
clining manuscripts aro tlrosomely anti
quated. Editorial rejection slips are no
toriously humdrum, and even In written
correspondence the autocrats of the month
lies show nothing like the versatility and
bonhommle of their contributors. Why, it
occurs to us to ask, should not these dull
persons freshen up a bit and attack the re
jection problem In a way that will at least
attempt to Justify their own literary preten
sions? Why, for Instance, should they not
undertake to decline In kind, limericks with
limericks, sonnets with sonnets, etc.? For
their consideration, we venture to append
a number of forms that may easily be
printed In that nicely deceptive typewrit
ten fashion thut looks so convincingly per
sonal. Models merely, gentlemen ; adorn
them as you will:
I.
Sir (or Madam), your versified trick
la biilliaut and witty and quick,
And yet we are under
(With heart torn aaunder)
A bond to print no lim-cr-lck.
II.
Dear Friend, your sonnet is the neatest
thing
That we have seen In sonnets for a week;
We shall tonight with fervor of It speak
When to our Harlem flat we've taken
wing.
(The Mivsus likes to hear us have our
fling
At all the wlahy-washy, woful, weak
And weary versi'i thut our suffrage
seek)
Oh, yes, we'll chortle of your work, and
sing!
Nevertheless, to our lmmenso regret,
We find that at the moment we've on
'hand
So many contributions of this kind
That we can't use one single fresh sonnet;
With sorrow you can scarcely understand.
We send you back, then, yours "WUU
thanks declined."
III.
Your bright triolet
Has turned up dulyT'-
'Tls the editor's pet.
Your bright triolet;
He almost and yet
Bv a fate most unruly
Your bright triolet
Is here turned down duly.
IV.
Declined with thanks Is your rondeau.
Regretting that it must be so.
And axking you not to infer
That it is void of merit, sir,
(Of course, it may be. We don't know!)
"Man wonts but little here below,"
Runs the old phrase of GoldBiuilh, O.,
And that's precisely why we purr: I
"Declined with thanks." I
I
You see, we've paid out so much dough
To Iawson, Steffens, and Blgelow
(Miss Tarbell, too consider her!), v
For making fly the festive fur.
That our exchequer's very low;
Declined with thunks.
