OMAHA HAS- COM RECORD
One of Ten Large Cities Showing
Increase in Business.

SerTlce.
Omaha ia ono of the ten out of thirty-two
rltles reported by Construction News as hav
ing a heavier building- record In February
of this year than In February of last year.
It Is a significant fact. Indicative of the
place where the financial depression la or
has been that only two of the ten cities
are In the east. These two are Philadel
phia and Patterson, N. J. The other eight
are Omaha Chicago, St. Ixuls, Denver,
Kansas City, Cincinnati, Milwaukee and
Terre Haute. Losses arc not confined to
the eastern cities. There were large de
creases in Detroit, St. Paul and Los An
geles. Of the totals for the thirty-two
cities there Is s. decrease In cost of con
struction of 41 per cent from last Feb
ruary. Omaha showa one of the most sub
stantial Increases In construction In the
country during tho month. When it la re
membered, that there was , also a substan
tial increase In January over the preceding
January, an idea Is given of what Omaha
home builders are doing.
An article appearing in this colunfn a
few weeks ago regarding a preparation of
creosote used by an Omaha contractor for
making the shingles' with which he built a
house resist the weather for two or three
times the ordinary life of a shingle, brought
a number of -queries regarding the prepara
tion. Correspondence with tho office of
wood preservation of the forestry service
at Washington brought particulars of the
process from Carl O. Crawford, chief of the
office. The treatment la as follows:
The preservative treatment of dry
shingles Is easily accomplished by Immers
ing them for about one hour fn a tank of
creosote (dead oil of coal tar) heated to a
temperature of about 211 degrees Fahren
heit. In the case of damp or green shingles,
it, is often necessary to prolong this period
In the hot oil. If, at the .end of the hot
bath, it is found that the oil has not thor
oughly penetrated the wood, the heat may
be shut off and the shingles allowed to
remain in, the cooling oil for an hour or
more; or else they may be removed from
the hot oil and quickly plunged Into a
cooler bath of the preservative, preferably
at about 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
Staining the shingles can also be accomp
lished in the same process. Any of the
common colors can be used. They should
be purchased ground In oil, not dry. Of
the reds or browns, about one-half pound
Is required for each gallon of, creosote.
For greens or blues this quantity Should be
increased. The color should be mixed with
an equal quantity of boiled linseed oil and
then stirred thoroughly Into the creosote,
at a temperature of about 110 degrees Fahr
enheit. The shingles should be Immersed in the
bat h of hot creosote at 212 degrees Fahren
heit. If they are thoroughly seasoned, one
half hour In the hot oil will be sufficient.
Tfhey should then be plunged In the cooler
creosote and color and allowed to remain
for about two hours. In this bath the
shingles must be loose. In order to permit
an even deposit of the stain. A screen or
lattice-work frame will assist in keeping
the shingles under the oil. As a final step,
the shingles should be spread out to dry.
If no suitable Iron vats are available, the
treating tanks may be constructed by a
boiler maker, or sheet-iron worker. The
hot tank need be only large enough for the
Immersion of a single bundle of shingles,
unless" it Is desired to use it for the treat
ment of fence posts pr other timbers. If
the heat must be applied by direct fire un
derneath, the metal should be heavy enough
to withstand the flame, say three-slxteenth-of-an-lnch
black Iron, with the joints
riveted and caulked. If steam coils can be
used, the tank may be of fairly light gal
vanized Iron, the joints being riveted and
soldered. The tank for the cool oil can be
made of light galvanized Iron.
The cost of the treatment depend princi
pally upon the local price of creosote and
the quantity of shingles, which It is de-
miftl AJ weal. Al llllT yij't -cr im
carried out, however, the cost of a creoeoted
low-graae srnngie miouia not exca me
first of a high-grade shingle of the same
kind, nor should the cost of creosote and
staining exceed that of thorough painting,
and It is believed that the results are more
desirable in evenr way.
NOTES ON INTERIOR FINISH
Sfnarvestlona on the Qualities of Differ
ent Woods and Their Finish
Ins; Valoe.
In the current number of Woodcraft an
expert discusses the qualities of different
woods In general use for interior finish
which Is of Interest to home builders. He
says. In part:
. "One of tho best woods our American
forests furnish for house builder's use Is
the hard yellow ptne and If we consider
the merits especially of the curly variety
It Is a question whether (t does not give us
a very fine material for furniture. I do
agree with a recent enthusiast who declares
tljat It rivals in beauty any wood that
grows, when properly hard-finished.
"But we all admit that hard yellow pine
Is not, strictly speaking, a pretty wood;
that It is coarse of grain end that it has a
habit of darkening with age, not assuming
that desirable antique look that oak does,
but . appearing rather dirty looking. And
yet It is susceptible to a high polish. It Is
a very durable wood and many things that
would stain and spoil other woods will not
affect hard pine. The curly variety Is
handsome, tentatively speaklngf It Is too
course of grain to be rated high In this
direction. Two or three coats of brown
japan bring out the grain nicely; thin the
jauan with turpentine and oil and rub the
surface when It has become dry. The ap
plication of oil to the bare wood Is not
recommended, because It will cause the
wood to darken sooner. Shellac Is a good
finish to apply and preserves the natural
color of the wood well. With this material
It will be necessary to rub down with fine
pumice stone and oil.
Our beechwood was never thought of
until the woods commonly used In making,
furniture and house fitments grew de
cidedly scarce, and then It was found that
It was a very valuable addition to our
stock, having a fine grain, being qu'.te dur
able and well adapted for the making of
furniture and , for" decorative purposes.
Moreover, it was found to be abundant
and cheap. The red variety Is specially
handsome in appearance when finished,
ana where a good imitation of cherry Is
desired It comes In quite nicely.
In addition to beech our American for
ests fgrnlnh us with other beautiful woods
omo well adapted to . the uses of the
furniture maker and many of which were
not generally known until recent years.
Few ot these, however, meet the damands
of tho furniture maker, though In time
we doubt not that he will be found using
maay woods that today he would not
think of.
Woods from California' and Oregon are
now In general 'use, not only In this coun
try, but they sre exported In large -quantities
to Europe. We may inentlun ai ex
amples of these woods redwood, whits
cedar, laurel and sycamore. Of these red
wood Is undoubtedly the most duslrable,
as it possesses superior wearing qualities
and takes a very handsome polluh. Borne
finishers believe that California redwood
has no superior In the world. The laurel
has a very smooth and hard grcla, la
beautifully figured and In most respects
Is a very desirable wood. The graining ot
sycamore la much like that of our eastern
birth, having waving lines running closely
together; It Is very tough wood and strong,
being well adapted for veneering. Oregon
ash has peculiar figuring of concentric
curves and takes a very fine polish. Ore
gon msple Is another fine wood from that
great state, beautiful of appearance and Ha
surface being covered with small, wavy
lines that show up still better by artificial
light. It Is of a light yellow color.
The finishing of hard woods Is quite sim
ple in practice, the secret of success being
found In skill and patient la'bor. The pro
cesses employed In this work have been
so often described that It would be super
fluous to repeat them here were 'It not
that we are constantly meeting with those
not long In the work.
There are three prime stages In the
work, filling, staining and varnishing. The
work as It comes from the woodworker
must be made clean and smooth. Some
woods, those having a close grain, like
maple, for Instance, need liquid filling or
surfacing. Those having an open grain,
like ash or oak, for example, require paste
filling. Some woods need staining to bring
out their natural beauty better mahogany
and cherry, for Instance. Oaks run all the
way from light natural yellow to stained
dark effects, even to black. Oak may be
stained, then be paste filled with a filler
having a suitable pigment In It to approxi
mate the color of the staining.
Art Radiator Decorations.
Granville, the English, poet, tells of a
natural appreciation n all humankind
when he wrote:
Beauty to no complexion Is confined;
Is of all color, and by none defined.
It Is the universal habit of all to enjoy
combinations of colors which blend with
one another, and this is especially true in
the home circle where "matching up" the
decorations, furnishings and draperies is
much enjoyed. Many mill be Interested to
know that this pursuit of art effects can
now very easily be applied to radiators
with slight expense. Formerly people got
Into a rut of using a simple gold or silver
bronze, of may bo a plain black or somber
hue of paint But today our friends In the
steam heating business are making a great
change In radla'tors by applying rich hued
enamels which make the iron comfort
givers "a Joy forever." These enamels can
be so applied that the radiators closely
correspond to the wood-work, wall decora
tions or the general color scheme of the
draperies; or, like the dash of color In the
artist's painting, a radiator can be made
to present a pleasing color-contrast restful
to the eye.
Radiators can be so treated with enamels,
either in single colors, or pleasing combi
nations of a background color mjlth tints on
the ornamental raised figures and thus
made very attractive. These enamels
(which cost a few cents more per radiator
than bronze) are made In about sixteen
standard tints, which afford numberless
combinations. By mixing one color with
another or shading with white almost any
fashionable or desirable shade ca,n be se
cured. One gallon will cover about 280
square feet of surface, and one to three
gallons will cover the requirements of the
average home.
Four Short Stories
Old "Josh Whlteontb." '
"It does beat rne how the newspapers
know more about what you are going to
do than you do yourself," said Denman
Thompson to an Interviewer the other day.
"Just because this la my twenty-third sea
son in 'The Old Homestead' they have it
thatjfs my farewell tour. No such thing.
I don't believe In 'em. As long as tho
rheumatism don't get me I'm good for
twenty-three more seasons. You see i
sticks with me. all right, though," and Mr.
Thompson held up a knotted finger, rue
fully, "but after all, I shouldn't grumble
about it much, for It's my rheumatism
that's responsible for TTnele Josh.
"You see it was In 1875 that I was Just
getting over a bnd attack and .was so
crippled that I couldn't got around good.
Of course there weren't many parts I couid
play in that condition, and, as I had lo
earn my living, the Idea came to me of
creating an old New England farmer that
I could play and have some excuse for
hobbling around en a cane.
"There are no new-fangled 'probloms' In
The Old Homestead.' It s Just a simple,
home,y old play. That's why It's lived ail
these years and why not only blase old
theater-goers flock to see it to be refreshed
but why people who ordinarily don't go to
the theaters at all never miss a chance lo
see it. It teaches a good moral lesson and
appeals to man's better nature, but at the
samo time It Is humorous, human and not
too preachy. That's why the grandfather,
whose daddy took him to see It when he
was a little lad takes his son's son today
and enjoys It all over again. Why, at the
Academy of Music, where In 1888 we ran
for three years continuously, wa have dono
a bigger business this season than ever."
Proof Positive.
An Irishman was in trouble about a gun
found In his possession. The law, unfor
tunately for him, adopted the unkind sug
gestion ttiat he had stolen it. While await
ing his trial he was visited by a friend
who urged him to steadfastly adhere to
the statement that he had owned the gun
for years. The friend, furthermore, cited
how he, himself, when in similar difficulty
about a hen, had preserved both the hen
and his character by swearing he had pos
sessed the bird since It was a chieken.
The wisdom of this advice was not lost
on Pat, and he henceforth regarded his
trial with the settled serenity of, if not
conscious innocence, sanguine anticipation.
On the day appointed, when conclusive evi
dence against him had been tendered, he
wa asked formally, whether he had any
thing to say for himself. Pat, throwing a
glance of shriveling contempt at the prose
cutor, turned to the Judge, and said: "The
man's a perjured villain, yer 'onour. That
gun's bin In moy possession, yer 'onour,
Iver since It was a pistol." Dublin Free

William V. McManus, ths new president
of he Letter Carriers' association of Naw
York, had been discussing the Ideal letter
carrier.
With a laugh he ended:
"Yet, the Ideal letter carrier needs to be
ss all-round, as many-sided, as divinely
gifted, as the man a Cincinnati suburbanite
advertised for last month.
"The advertisement ran:
" 'Wanted A man able to teach Spanish,
water color painting, and the violin, and
to look after a bull.' "New York Bun.

John Mitchell, the miners' fafnous leader,
was talking to a Pittsburg reporter a'bout

"Why," said Mr. Mitchell, smiling, "I

day, when the teacher told a little boy
that he must stay In after school and

up and answered stoutly:

TIMELY REAL ESTATE TALK
New Court House Bond Proposition
Gets a Hearing-.
REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE ASSENTS
Finally Derides Leave Matter la
Itaads at Coaaly Board, with Aa
anoaMloa Adrasile Balld
Ins;, If Any, Be Ballt.
Most of the real estate dealers have had
a change of heart on the court . house prop
osition, after hearing It discussed by the
district Judges and members of the Board
of County Commissioners. Two meetings
were hold during the week and both were
well attended. The Friday meeting was
the most exciting which has been held by
the dealers this year. A parliamentary
tangle, with six to ten on the floor de
manding recognition at once, three substi
tutes, the original motion and a motion to
lay on the table ths report of the commit
tee on court house bonds were before the
house at once.
a latior miam received from ex-Senator J.
H. Millard, president of the Omaha National
bank. Mr. Millard saia m nis communi
cation to the exchange that It would be a
mistake to vote the 1 ,000,000 bonds for a
new court house and would be Just as
great a mistake to spend any more money
for repairs.
This letter met a prompt response from
Judge Sears when he was invited to ad
dress the exchange, "I will tell you. why
you need a court house," he said. "Be
cause Senator Millard would not think of
running his bank In a building with as
many, faults, serious and expensive Incon
veniences as there are In the court house.
He would not tolerate It for a .minute, but
he wants you to have the county's business
conducted in such a place.
"Now, the Jail proposition Is the pressing
one. The court house proposition naturally
follows. I favor a new court house with a
new Jail because I have seen young boys
becoming morally depraved by being con
fined in the Douglas county Jail. When
yon put a young boy In that Jnll with old
offenders, vagrants and Criminals you
commit a greater offense against a boy
than he has committed against the state
of Nebraska." Here the other judges said,
"You're right." "You men don't know
what It means to confine young men with
those criminals. I am not going to tell
you, but the Judges know and they are
telling you that It is inhuman to do It.
Every grand Jury we have had has con
demned the Jail and I will take any six
teen men from Ihls exchange, give them
the same charge I have given. Juries and
they will bring In a similar verdict."
"It is absolutely an Inhuman thing to
put a man 'in that jail," declared Judge
Kstelle, when asked to address the ex
change. "Humanity demands that some
thing be done, as you have almost three
times aa many men In the Jail as It was
built to accommodate. You have but two
bath tubs in the building and the sewerage
system was constructed to carry off the
waste from a Jail with not - more than
fifty Inmates. '
"Without any criticism of the sheriff or
his Jailer, I want to tell you what I know
abotit the contaminating influence, of the
jail. If you send a boy or young man
there he will come out in thirty days a fit
subject for a morphine or cocaine fiend.
It ie making degenerates every day and It
Is Inhuman to keep a man In It.
"At the Nebraska penitentiary, which la
a humanitarian prison, there has not been
a man in the hospital for four years until
Omaha sent one of Its prisoners there to
die because there was no place In Douglas
county to keep him.
"Then it Is hard to get a Jury because
of the discomforts at the court house. We
frequently have men tell us after they
have served' that N they have contracted
rheumatism or other disease by occupying
the rooms we furnish them. Sometimes
they object to serving and get a letter
from a physician saying that they are
physically Incapable of enduring the foul
air and damp of those jury rooms."
Judge Reteile said' that If the real estate
dealers of the city did not understand the
necessity for a court house, the judges
would see that a few of the stubborn ones
were drawn on juries and they would un
derstand the need for a court house at the
end of thlrty-lx to forty-eight hours.
Judge Sutton and Commissioner Ure both
spoke along the same lines, and Sheriff
Bralley told of the extra expense to which
the county has been put for guards when
bad men were confined in the jail, and of
his bull pen. In which seventy-five men
are confined, many of them sleeping next
to the celling where no air can possibly
be admitted. '
After the county officials had put In
their boost and plea for a new court house
and Jail some of the real 'estale dealers
who had Investigated the matter were
ready and willing to support the county
official. Henry T. Clarke wanted a new
Jail without thinking about the court house,
but could not get a second to any kind of
a motion. C. H. Harrison tacked an
amendment on the resolution putting the
exchange on record as opposed to the
tl.n00.0CO bond Issue, but his amendment
was voted down. The committee yhlch
brought In a report, written by D. C. Pat
terson In a sarcastic tone, saw the care
fully prepared report laid on the table
on motion of George M. Nattlnger. Atr
tempts were made to adjourn the meeting
without taking any action, but half a dozen
dealers opposed such a move.'
"We have aked these county officials
to talk to us," said C. C. Wallace, "and
we are not a lot of cowards, afraid to take
action on this proposition."
This kept the dealers working a few min
utes longer, during which time John W.
Robblni opposed the $1,000,000 bond Issue
because, he raid, the commissioners did
not have any definite plan as to what they
would do with the $1,000,000. Commissioner
Ure assured him that the officials had
tentative plans, rtohbins wanted approved
plans and Ure remlpded him that the com
missioners had no right to make such
plsns until the 11,000,000 bonds were voted.
Then Henry B. Payne offered a resolu
tion leaving the whole matter with the
county board, but Instructing It to make
plana, If It planned a court house, which
would accommodate both county and city
governments when they are combined, and
with the fact In view thst South Omaha
will some day soon be consolidated with
Omaha.
One of the most convincing addresses
to the real estate dealers was that by John
U Kennedy, who spoke for himself as well
as for J. L. Brandies A Sons, who, he said,
were probsbly the largest taxpayers in
Omaha, end favored the building of a new
court house.

A SERIES Or TEN TALKS ON ADVERTISING
written by Seymour Eaton, of Philadelphia
for the readers of THE OMAHA BEE
NO. 7
Tho man who succeeds must fill his job so full that
he bulges ouf a little at tho top; where people can see
him. The successful Btore must do the same thing only
in a different way.
The goods must be on hand; the price must be right;
the service must be commendable; the trading must be
square; the kind of square that has four equal sides and
Jour right angles.
Every successful store has its trademark whether tho
merchant knows it or not. Its advertising and its service
have created a public sentiment in its favor which neither
reverses nor fire nor time can obliterate. Nine times out
of ten this trade-mark is the store's biggest asset.
Much of the ordinary store advertising is a hand-to-mouth
sort of business; an effort to make tomorrow's sales
equal to todays' or yesterday's; and this is just as true of
the department store as of the smaller shop. The adver
tisement appears in the morning and the merchant fig
ures out the net result results in the evening. It is true
that the bargain advertisement of today is of little, if
any, use next week. It is forgotten in twentjT-four hours;
but if the store makes a feature of genuine bargains, then
each bargain sale helps to advertise the bargain depart
ment. The advertising ought to bej done in such a way
as to permanently advertise the department as well as to
emphasize the bargains of the day.
Don't go at it as though you were advertising an auc
tion sale. As I said at the outset your store is the seed in
the soil; the advertising is the rain and the sunshine. In
experienced advertisers dig up the seed every evening to
see if it is growing; or pull up the young plant by the
roots because it didn't bear fruit or flowers the first week.
It is safe to say that not more than one-third of the
people are looking for bargains; the other two-thirds are
looking for quality and style. The very fact that the
goods are offered at bargain prices leaves the impression
that there is something wrong with the quality or that the
style is a season behind. Good advertising should enable
a merchant to sell $20 coats at $25 instead of $25 coats
for $12.50; in other words it should create confidence
rather than doubt. As in stooks and bonds, the securities
quoted above par are always more desirable in the
thought of the investing public than are those quoted at a
discount.
Advertising is a tremendous force which in action
contradicts all mechanical laws. The circumference and
speed and working power increase, while the motor re
mains the same.
Make your advertising continuous. This is the first
great secret of success. Copy and medium and circulation
are all subordinate to keeping everlastingly at it.
