Balldlas; laspeeors Ofliee fer Moath of Vebraary is Vm taadajrd Set la Jaaaary. The recent financial stringency was an il wind, but at tho same time It hs blown good to the home builders in more lines than one. Now is the time to build, because of prices that are easier along all , lines than they were at this time last year. Many of the shrewdest In vestors are building homes in Omaha at the present time and taking advantage of the love prices at which nearly all kinds of building materials are selling, la no line are the reduced prices m.uie apparent than In that of cement and plas ter. Cement Is now selling In Omaha at $1.43. which la 5 cents lower than It was selling last season at any time. The demand Is not as great as It w a year ago, though there is a steady solo for the product for building purposes. Tho country demand Is also fair. Fort Ugeo plaster is now selling retail in Oma.ia at $4 a ton. which Is 12. iO cheaper than its price last year at this time. Building permits in Omaha for Febru ary were up to tha high standard which was set by tha permits issued iu Janu ary, and the indications are stdl favor able that the present year. In spite ot financial storms at the close of 190T and In kpite of the fact that It is a presi dential election year and In spite of the fact that there are other bogyboos that may filghtan the timid or those lacking; foresight, will be a record breaker. Maicu has started In with a very fine showing. This showing Is particularly fine In the way of permits for building homes, moderate-priced homes homes to be occupied by the great middle class. On one day during; last week a single real eetat firm, Hastings Heyden. took out per mits to build nine new dwellings and one flat. The cost of the dwellings Is to vary from $4.iC0 each to $1,750 each. The flat, which will be of the St. Lou la style, with porches on first and second floors, will be built at a cost of $7,500. "A house should be built to conform with the 'lay' of the land on which It Is erecttd." said an Omaha architect In laying doan one of the fundamental rules of his pro fession. He pointed to a house recently completed in the northwest section of the city. Til Is house stands on a lot wh'ch is considerably lower than the street which runs in front This would have been an Insuperable obstacle to many build ra end they would have gone to the expense of fill ing In to make the lot level with the street. This would have been a great ex pense and would have left the lot In worse condition than It was before. The man who wanted to build a home on the lot merely planned to have tha house conform to the lot. The house which he has built Is of brick. The main floor Is on a level-with the street and the main entrance is about twenty feet bnk from the sidewalk. The floor below this ma'n floor Is on a level with the back yard. On this lower floor are the kitchen, laund y, store rooms and rooms for the storing of vegetables and the lftte. . 'One of the prettiest parts of the house is the back yard with the pr.-h. Tlie yard was filled up somewhat so that it stretches back from the kitchen entrance on a level for a considerable distance. This space Is to be planted with blue grass and made into a beautiful lawn with gravel walks and a few flower Wis. The porch Itself Is one of the most charming (arts of the house. It is broad and low celled. The floor is only slightly above the ground and is- paved with brick. In the summer time, with rugs spread around and wl.ker chairs and a table or two, this will be a delightful place. Rattan drop blind wH be placed to screen the sunsh'ne and vines will be planted. In a flat which has r.-eentw teen com pleted several articles of furniture have been built Into the wall at points of vantage. The builder claims th!a Is to be tha style In the flat of the future and that these articles of. furniture bokcas and window seats) will come to be considered a part of the house Just as much as the windows or the chimneys. In a small Hit it la often a problem to the incoming tenant to make the furniture fit inta the rooms, which are usuailiy snug. The bul d Ing In plan makes moving less srduous and at the same time makes the an ount of furniture which must be carried by the mover considerably less and makes the room In the flat seem larger after all ne.es sary furniture has been placed. K. A. Hlggfns has Ju.f let the contract for a $7,000 residence, to' be built at Forty firat and Davenport streets. Plans were drawn by Fisher A Laarle. Building Active in the West In some respectaine total of building operations for February make a good showing, but generally they are still far from satisfactory. During the month just closed permits were taken out In thirty-two cities for the construction of 5.100 buildings 'at an estimated aggregate cost of $14,- 10,146, according to official reports to Con struction News, as against 6,906 buildings costing 3,994,190 for the corresponding month a year ago, a decrease of 745 build ings and $.864,W4 or 41 per cent. This Is quite a railing off. - The signtflcsnt feature of the situation la the almost buoyant condition of affairs in some of the leading cities of the middle west, emphasizing the extent of the depression In New York City. Americas Heatlaa Asyarstsi far For lara Markets. In an article adreesed primarily to the foreign Importer, the New York Commer cial Juts the following to say In regard to heating and the superiority of American heating goods: It is shown that a ton of coal will warm l.&O cubic feet cf air from aero to 70 de- Twlre In three months have the totals of building operations In Chicago exceeded those of New York City, including Man hattan and the Bronx, a thing unheard of In former years. Is prophecy giving away to fact and Is the course of empire taking her way westward? Permits were taken out in New York. Including Manhattan and the Bronx, In February for eighty-three buildings, involving a cost of $1,326,500, as against 183 buildings and $6,377,650 a year ago, a falling off of 79vper cent. In Chi cago permits were taken out this February for 520 buildings at an estimated cost of $3,634,600, a gain of IS per cent. The figures In detail are as follows: BUILJ3INO TABLE FOR FEBRL'ARY.

Including St. Louis, with an Increase of 9 per cent, Milwaukee S6, Terre Haute 72, Minneapolis 37, Cincinnati 26, Denver ID and Omaha per cent. Twenty-two citlos show decreases of from 4 to 93 per rent trees by the furnace system, 1.600 cubic feet by steam, and 1,800 feet by the hot water system, and these proportions In dicate fairly well the amount of saving In fuer that steam and hot water offer as compared with the furnace. The saving would easily be sufficient in a few years to pay for the entire cost of the outfit. The boilers at present manufactured for heating both b7 steam and hot water sys tems : by the leading American manu facturer, in this line are exceedingly effi cient, occupy small siace snd do not easily get out of repair. Ideal American boilers and radiators are much simpler to operate . than most people Imagine, while to the housekeeper either steam .or hot water heating means an Immense Im provement In point of cleanliness, since the rooms are free from dust and dirt such as are unavoidable with stoves and other types of hot air beaters. ' Cottages for Workmen Will Go Up at Seymour Park. SHIMER & CHASE COMPLETE DEAL Now Ready to Proceed with Flams far Erection of Bis; Car Shops at This Sahara of Onsaha. Omaha plant aud will send drawings of the proposed plant wlthirra short time. Mr. Ralston spent several days in Omaha a week ago and looked over a number of sites In company with Commissioner J. M. Guild of the Commercial - club. He was shown the Seymour park site just before leaving the city and the agreement was made to take the site if the firm decided to locate In Omaha. Ills letters since indi cate that the firm will begin work within a short time to erect a plant of considera ble size. , Use Bee want tds to boost your business. Almost 200 new cottages and small houses will be erected In Seymour park by local capitalists, through Shinier & Chase, as the result of the announcement that Ralston A L Baron, manufacturers of railroad equipment, will erect a large plant In the suburb. I This announcen tnt wss made Saturday afternoon by Mr. Shinier of the real estate firm, when he received a letter from the Chicago firm. In which Mr. Ralston said: "Our agreement so rar has been verbal. Now this Is what we will do. We will erect a plant In Seymour park if you are ready to carry out your part of the agreement," Mr. Shimer said: "After a few days of work we have se cured the amount of money necessary to begin work on almost 300 cottages and homes for the workers at the Seymour park car shops. The money will all be furnished by local parties. "It was a part of our agreement with 1 Mr. Ralston of theblg railroad equipment manufacturers thatNe should arrange to build the houses. The rrp-slMm 1 as bung on the house question, as t'eymour park Is but on West Q street where it would be difficult to secure woikers if the homes were not built there. Ready far Bawl a ess. "Now we are ready to go ahead with our part of the agreement. We feel certain that Mr. Ralston means business. eThe firm which has secured the tract f r the erection of a freight car repair shop and factor' Is rated high and have bten in the railroad equipment business for some time. Freight csr building Is not the ext nt of their, manufacturing enterprises, but we understand the Omaha shops will n.ake a specialty of making and repairing freight cars. "This means carpenters and machinists for Seymour park. We are told that some 400 workers will be needed almost as s oi as the shops are open. This means at least 30 new homes; ' probably a city of more than 1,000 will come Into existence with the erection of the car shops, and that Is put ting It low." In his correspondence with the Omaiia firm C. A. Ralston says bis firm. Ralston eV LeBaron, has already asked for esti mates on the necessary machinery for the GILMORES BACK FROM CUBA Omaha Visitors to Havaaa Report HaTlaar Knjoyeal the Trip Very Marh. George F.

Mr. Gllmore was much Impressed with the cleanliness and orderliness of Havana and with the great amount of build fag In evi dence In all parts of that city at this time. American money is not seeking Investment as rapidly there at the present time as many have been led to believe, owing to the fact that the matter of the future gov ernment of the Island must be rightly aud permanently settled first.
