C THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: APRIL 12, 3 DOS. U SPRING TIIE HOME SEASON 4nnual Quest for Subuiba'n Retreats it on in Earnest. HUT-OFF COLONY IS GROWING. " .-ew ana (itatri Are (.olasr t p -Valne of hade Trtci to Ileal F.atate As observed before, spring In hir, And Vlth Its silvrnt jnany people wlio liav keen thinking during the entire wlntm f buying- a home for themselves, who jars been looking through catalogue:-, tlannln and counting their monoy, begin to come out "of the hibernating retrrai r.d look about. The aunshlne and the k-vlmy air of the neuron urges them forth )n their quet. and with themselves keyed tip to thn highest pitch by the plnns antf peculations of the winter they ko upon the fascinating hunt for a home. Especially Is this true of thofe ho feci the call of nature, who want to get SI near to tho "book of verses underneath a bough, a jug of wine, a loaf of bread and thou" as near to this Utopian Ideal as modern city life will allow. The at tractive green which surrounds the ma jorlty of suburban homes around Omaha and the exhilaration of a delightful spin In an automobile or a quiet drive In a one-hoss shay after tho turmoil of the day's work or the trip, on an open trolley car through the balmy, ozone-laden air of Nebraska, these things are a part of the charm which make the demand that Is reported by real estate men for prop erty In many charming suburban dis tricts of the city this erring. Usually ' tlie "thou" of the Persian poet's famous verse la the most Important part of the picture. True, In this prosaic country and In this mechanical age no sane per- son expects to elt underneath a tree, nor can a man spend all his time with the book of versos, and undoubtedly the loaf lit bread and the jug of wine would not satisfy the somewhat epicurean modern appetite. Also the vigilant police would arrest' a person who tried to carry out the plan of Omar. Hut while customs have changed, the "thou" remains neces sary to man. And the noticeable feature In the case of all seekers' for suburban beauty spots Is that they come In pairs. A lone man never cares for a suburban home. Much less does a lone woman care for one. But for the two the home on the edge of the city where the con veniences and pleasures of the city can be partaken of and the healthfulnees and charm of the effuntry tasted at the same time Is Idoal. There will be a large number of houses built In the outlying districts this sum mer, say tho home builders and those who apeak -with authority on ' these affairs. The homes to be built will vary In price and pretentiousness, from the modest cot tage of the young pair who have figured closely to be able to build It up to the elegant country places, whloh are being built by dome of the city's captains of In dustry and successful 'professional men of the automobile class. The liberal extension of the street car lines toward the outlying paats of the city Is proving a great Incentive to build ing in the suburban district. One of the handsomest homes being built near tho rfeld club Is the modern colonial style with soma admixture of the New England modern style In the broad eaves, the Moorish roof and the green shutters. The Interior of the house Is finished In Flemish oak. ' On entering from the front porch one finds a wide, reception hall, whloh Is finished In the paneled screen efrect, forming a pleas ing approach to the other rooms. The din ing room Is large and has a beamed oetllng and paneled wainscot. The house Is square, two stories high with Moorish roof and very broad eaves. The peculiarity about the finish la that It Is of rough plaster cement after the style so common In the country villas of Europe. Along about half of the front of the house extends a broad, deep porch. The ro5f Is shingled with a gable Window peeping from each side. Out at Cut-Off lake activities have al ready begun In the big colony which Is growing very rapidly and getting bigger with every advancing season. There are two communities now. one on the Court land beach side of tho lake and the other on this side. Each is vlolng with the other in the erection of new cottages, though' the Courtland beach side Is by far the largest and Its cottages are the most pre tentious, some of them being marvels of comfort, elegance and completeness. The house begun by Boy Harburg, John and Walter Borenson last fall has been nearly completed. One novel feature of It Is a monolithic fireplace which stsnds In the very center of the cottage's main room. The fireplace Is made entirely of concrete firmly founded on the ground underneath., Tho cottage has a porch ten feet wide covering one entire aide and enclosed by mosciulto '' netting. One firm which makes a business of build ing houses for sals to home-seekers has ! planted nearly 400- trees during the week Just closed. These were sbout half fruit trees, placed In the back yards, and the rest were sturdy shade trees, elm, maple and boxelder, placed In the front yards. "We consider this one of the best, Invest ments we have ever made," said a momber of the firm. "We have set the trees out and they do the rest. They grow while we sleep and they beautify the proHrty and enhance Its value to a very remarkable degree. We shall set out more trees In the near future on other properties which we are building and on some of tho vacant lots where we expect to build In the mar future. Nebraska Is a good climate for trees If you Just start them right and care for them VII they get their roots dowu Into the soil a little.." Ulekt Heatta. There la a popular opinion that nil that It la necessary to do In the way of running the cellar coal eater la to throw on the black diamonds, let the ftre get well undnr way, shut It up. shake 1t down at night and empty the ashes Sundry morning. These ure the very crude Ideaa of Immature thought. The hot etr furnace, like th loco motive, must be petted, grm mnl and cared for by a furnaeler who mnkea It a labor of love, or he will never get out of It the quid pro- que to which the house Is en titled. Quid proqtio la IIU f.r, that variety of hot hrat which, liki that Utter la longed for, but sometimes never comes. Hot air beat Is a fi.nny tlilti:;. It la Just as well satisfied to go up the chimney or out Into the cellar as Into the drawing room or bath room, And there Is always lingering around on the ou.stde of Iioise a ijlinate frwati come from Medlclnt Hut, or aome ether polar clime thut, like the last fly of autumn, la anxious to get lustde before the bell rlnga. Ts care for tnle arctlo cUllI the hot air furnace man has accommodatingly arranged what la called a "cold air Intake." Cut U out I It may do for I-eulnlsiia, but It Is not the thing for this climate, The first thing you want te do la to gat a stout f uri-aoe surgeon and excise the ocld at Intake p- I pendlx. About S.000.000 yards of the Arctic circle are trailing around the house, moan ing to get Into tha cold air Intake, Cut It out! It's chronic with hot air furnaces not to pass their heat along te the rooms on the windy side of the house. Mr. House holder, try nature's gentle- way. Hot Water heating la like the gulf stream like the heart of the arteries! You can depend on the heat circulating steadily that's why they exclusively use hot water and steam heating outfits In greenhouses, hospitals, sanitariums, laboratories, col leges. The even, cleanly warming of every foot of space In the building Is a certainty In all weather. ELECTRICAL SHCW POPULAR Snare for the Rlar Display la Rapidly Bel no; Taken by Ex. blbltora. More than two-thirds of the space avail able at the Auditorium for the Electrical show hna been sold and applications are Coming in at such a rate as to Indicate that all the space will soon be taken. The First Annual Klcctrlcal show to .be given by the Nebraska Electrical Trades association will be held May 4 to 9 and promises to be a revelation In the way of advances made In the use and handling of electricity. A large sum will be used In the decoration of the big building which will bo a blaze of light. The festoons, from the top of the building which were used at the Tart banquet will be left as they were. The exhibitors arc making an es pecial effort to show latest methods and effects of handling electricity. The ef fecta of different illuminations on the dif ferent colors will be shown. A complete six-room cottage will be placed In the center of the arena floor to show the way of Illumination for each room. Iten A Sons, who are completing arrange ments for opening their new cracker fac tory at Twelfth and Ja-knon streets, have contracted with the Omaha Electric Light and Power company for motors to run their plant and sixty horse power of current. They will havo the Individual driver sys tem with one motor at each machine. Mr. Iten expressed himself as very much pleased with the arrangements he was able to make with the Omaha Electric Light and Power company. MRS.

TIMELY REAL ESTATE GOSSIP Residence! Clear to Tort Crook Proph esied by Realty Man. DEMAND TOR BUSINESS SITES Several w Concerns Will frnlahly Acqalre Omaha Property Within the Next Few Mentha aari Others Will Enlarge. "This city Is simply growing , In every direction to an extent which Is little an predated by those who do not have orcas Ion to go from the north to the south sides of It, who never get out west or visit South Ornnha," said F. D. Wead after he returned from Albright, where he looked over some lots and bought five. "New homes are not only being erected and occupied but the old homes are being remodeled and occupied. We have some property for rent but there are but ten house on our Hut n't presi nt. We have been renting almost as soon as we list a piece of property. "The Union Pacific subdivision and At bright' choice addition are filling up with new homes. I suppose I saw thirty new houses In course of construction and ft looks like there will be residences from South Omaha to Ft. Crook some day. "Among tho residences tind sites for homes which are selling the best, are the lots and homes on West Farnam street There Is simply an exodus of people from somewhere who are buying on West Far nam. But the buying Is general. Out on the north side, even north of Ames avenue:, the number of new homes Indicates thut there will be more erected thin year than last, and 1,000 homes were built In Omaha during 1VJ07." The (lemandH for business property and especially sites suitable for warehouses and factories, promise to be especially gwd during the coming season and with the In dustries promised the rent estate dealers nro "dlKtilng around" lo eel control of rood j trackage property. Here are some of tho J Industries and warehouses which may want to buy sites soon: Creamery Package Manufacturing com pany. Wool warehouses, one or more. Flouring 'mills. Manufacturers of Phreddtd Wheat Bis cuits. D. J. O'Brien Oindy company. Harness and Saddlery company, content plating enlargements. Foundry company. Tho Creamery Package Manufacturing company now occupies the building at Twelfth and Jones streets which has benn .secured by I Iten & Sons for a cracker factory. The creamery package company Is seeking a new house and may build a warehouse, as the business of the company In Omaha Is Immense and the terms of the lease under which they hold the present building are such as will make. It Im perative for them to seek a new location soon. That-.the present year will see a move ment In many of the old pieces of business property there is no doubt from tho num ber of Inquiries being received by the Com mercial club, real estate exchange and firms. Few days pass without one or more business men from outside cltlea writing for information concerning the possibilities of locating In Omaha and several visit the city each week to "look over tho situa tion." An Immense amount of advertising Is being done by Omaha real estate dealers and they tire reaping a reward. Hast ings & Hcyden began the publication of a small real estate paper during the week which they will call "The Home Buyer," and will be published at Intervals.

They are now enjoying a tem porary letup. No one who 1 fr.mlllur with this group of cities and th- c-ntorprlxe of the people need think that any one of them will undergo a long period of depression. In most of them much improvement Is al ready visible, and It will not be long until they will be building upon J.ist aa great a scale as ever. With the opening of spring there are in dications of a revival. Building which has been In contemplation for some time will proceed, and muny who were waiting a period of less activity and lower price, will now go ahead nlth the construction of buildings which they have had under con sideration for a long lime. The situation as It Is In Chicago applies to many other localities. The largest number of permits for buildings ever taken out during the first quarter of the year In all time past were taken out In Chicago during the three months Just closed. . This Is a remarkable Illustration of recuperative ami XT Selling than either how 'investments are blng made In Omaha real estate and homes, the "Home Buyer" aaya "In 1000 the United States census showed that only 23 per cent of Omaha homes were owned by these occupying them. Recent statistics ahow that 87 per cent of the homes are now owned by those occupying them." The "Home Buyer," while being an advertisement for the firm Issuing It, eontalna a good bit of Informa tion about Omaha whloh la not aeen every day and the company expeeta to distribute thousands of the papers out of town. It shows some thirty pictures of new homes, most of them being erected by the firm In Kountze place and the Sulphur BprlngB addition. , George A Company have Issued "Snap shots of Dundee," telling the advantages of the Incorporated village which Joins Omaha and showing good vlewa of the auburb. The Happy Hollow club houae and grounds come In for a largo amount of Illustration; the public school house at Dundee occupies half a page, together with views of the homea along the beautiful Underwood avenue.. Of all the subjects which have been die- cussed by the Omaha Real Estate Ex change, none have attracted the attention nor caused the talk which the decision of the United Btatea circuit court o' appeals on the water worka case has caused among the real. estate men. And like the attor neys, none of the dealers have figured out a ' way to prevent the Aty paying the 16,000,000 for the water plant nor a way for raising the money. All I can see Is a Judgment against the city for the amount, on which we will be compelled to pay 7 per cent Interest, said W. T. Graham. "I have nothing to suggest, except that I would like to see It fixed up. I would like to see the city pay the water company what Is owed for hydrant rentals, and the franchise of the water company extended for twenty-five years. If that would prevent the Judg ment being nlaced against the cltyj I be lieve the taxpayers and people would vote the bonds to buy the water worka before they would pay T per cent Interest on a Judgment. Personally I do not know that Ifi.OUO.OCO Is an enormous price to pay for the water plant. When we consider that It extends to East Omaha and to South Omaha, the p!ant has cost some money, and there la no Joke about It, but 1 shudder to con template the water worka system passing Into the control of the city when It Is very hard to deal with city employes." None of tho other real estate dealers have anything better to offer than what Mr. Graham offera. It la the general be lief that the new eourt house proposition and the power canal project are both dead very dead as the decision In the water works case came at a time when It was proposed to vote $1,000,000 for the new court house, snd the Real restate exchange has been advocating the voting of 16,000,000 to build a power canal from the Loup river. Efforts of Newman Frost, president of the Real Estate exchange of Ht. Paul, to arouse Interest In a national association of real entate men have resulted In a call for a national convention, to be held in Chicago, May 12, 13 and 11. The Omaha exchange has decided to send three repre sentatives. Just what the object of the assorlstion will be Is still a matter of conjecture, but Omaha dealers have many Ideas of how such an association could be of benefit to memhers. The exchange cf Omaha, it la claimed, has resulted In placing the business on a better basis and of keeping It In the hands of a butter clasa of men.
