! SHOWN BY ONE OMAHA EXAMPLE
Mare Home Balldlnsr la Prrm
and the List of Home Onaers
Gronlag Math Faater Than
the Landlord.
A study of the arrangements of notns of
the magrjlflcent apartment housoa 'Which
have been erected In Omaha during the
Uit year Indicates that Omahans are de
manding; the best of everything;. Make
shifts will no longer answer, and apart
ment houaea are found now in thlscity equal
to the beat that are trected In the biggest
cltlra of the world. Aaide from the beauty
of the exterior architecture and the charm
of the surroundings of green grass, trees
and flower beds there Is an Interior ar
rangement and elegance which Is really re
markable. One of theae houses Just being
completed In the north part of the city
has dining rooms with plate rail, beamed
ceilings and built-in sideboards. The din
ing rooms are also stained In English arts
and crafts effect. The bath rooma have the
tile floors, nickel-plated, ope-n-work plumb
ing and woodwork flashed In white enamel.
The kitchens are fitted up with all open
porcelain sinks with porcelain drains. Thera
will be cold closets and large gas ranges
will be supplied. The pantries will have
china closets, drains for refrigerators and
shelves for storage. The floors through
out will bo hardwood and the decoration!
will be In keeping with tho architectural
embellishments of the various rooms. Tho
janitor and his assistants will have rooms
In the basement and a private store room
and use of the laundry will be provided fot
each tenant. Who wouldn't live In an
apartment house when there are such ad
vantages? Reports of tho building and loan associa
tions of the city indicate that If the present
movement keeps on and the present propor
tion of increase of home owners continues
In Omaha It will be a very short time until
landlords become as extinct as the dodo
and the Ichthyosaurus. Already statistics
show that nearly half of the Inhabitants
of Omaha live In dwellings which are either j
their own absolutely or to which they own t
the title contingent only upon the payment
of a few monthly Installments to the build
ing and loan association or to the home
building corporation. Meanwhile the cruel
and grasping landlord of tradition seems
to stand at one side gnashing his teeth in
the accustomed Impotent rage.
With the increase in the ownership of
homes the aesthetic excellence of the city
Increases. The reason for this Is apparent
ut once. It Is a natural result, as natural
as the building of flowers under sunshine.
When a family lives In a rented dwelling
that family fairly takes no Interest In the
property. It fe-ls no sense of ownership and
at best looks upon it merely as a makeshift.
It begrudges the payment of every month's
rent which Is swallowed up by the land
lord's catalogues pocketbook.
No one In this mental condition would
think of making and Improvement upon the
property, for such Improvement seems too
much like a present to the landlord. No trees
,are planted, the lawn Is attended only so
i much as well keep it from becoming ab
solutely disreputable and none of the little
embellishments of the grounds or house
are thought of. But the moment a family
has made even the first payment upon a
home that moment It begins to feel the
sense of ownership. le begins -to take an
Interest In Improving the property, trees
are planted, watered, attended and guided
Into stately growths; the lawn Is carefully
laid out; books on landscape gardening are
assiduously studied and the man with a
J2.000 home studies "Country Life In Ameri
ca" and plans all sorts of driveways and
hedges and flowerbeds and garden seats
on his little place. Tills la the Ideal state
for It results In a raising of the beauty of
the city property and at the same time
raises the standard of each man's civic
pride and patriotism.
Plans are being drawn by a local archi
tect for a house to be built In the West
Farnam district and to bo of the Spanish
style of architecture. The exterior la to
be of cement construction. The white of
the walls will be offset by the black
wrought Iron balconies opening from the
windows on the second floor front and
by the roof which will be either of red or
blue tile. Extending across the front of
the house on the first floor will be an open
porch ten feet wide, with a handsome
balustrade. The front of the house Is
to be twenty-four feet and Its depth forty
feet. The woodwork on the Interior will be
white enamel throughout. In the drawing
room the plans call for an elaborate or
tlamental plsster cornice. The house will
contain nine rooms and bath. On the fli-Bt
floor will be the drawing room, dining
room, den,' kitchen and pantry and on the
second floor will be four bedrooms and the
bath. ,
Oallagher company has completed Its now
nine-story warehouse, the structure being
132 by 14S feet, located at Ninth and Jones
streets, and directly east of the old build
ing, which faces on the Tenth street via
duct. The stock Is now btir-g moved Into
the rew building.
Mrs. Martha M. Ish will build for the
Creamery Tackage company a two-story
and basement warehouse and office build
ing on the east side of Trnth street, north
of the alley, between Douglas and Dodge
streets. The building Is to be 66 by 132 feet,
and Is to be ready for occupancy by Octo
ber 1.
A wholesale clothing department has
been added by the J. 8. Johnson Notion
company, 1111 Farnam street, which makes
It the first clothing jobbing house In
Omaha. A heavy stock of men's and bnys'
clothing Is being added by the firm, which
occupies two floors and a basement at the
above number. For many years Mr. John
son was engaged 'in the retail mercantile
business at Aahland, Schuyler, Kearney
and other Nebraska points and a year ago
moved to Omaha to establish a wholesale
notion house, to which he has now added
the clothing department.
The original plana of Butler Bros, have
been doubled and the big Chicngo general
merchandise Jobbing house which a month
ago leased the ground floor at 11(18-10 How
ard street to be opened July 1 has since
leased the second floor. This company
opened a similar sample room at Minne
apolis five years ago and today occupies
all of one of the largest warehouses In
that city.
The Omaha Biscuit company, organized
by L. Iten & Sons of Clinton, la., has
bought a building for Its use. It lias pur
chased the building occupied at present
by the Creamery PackHge Manufacturing
company at Twelfth and Jones streets,
which will move Into the bullillng now be
ing built by Mrs. Ish at Ninth and Dodge
streets. The bullillng Is 6Gxl32 and Is oc
cupied In part by the tenant, the Creamery
Manufacturing company having shifted Its
stock so that Mr. Iten may have the parts
he needs the most.

Among the sales made by the Putnim
company during last week was a seven
room house and lot in Dundee, at the
corner of Fiftieth avenue and Cumins
streets, and also two lots In Carthage to
Mrs. Clara D. Barker.
Among the Important announcements of
the week was that of the move of tha
Omaha Rubber company from lta present
quarters at Eleventh and 'Farnam streets
to the Nash budding on Harney street, op
posite the Boyd theater. For some time
the Omaha Rubber company has been
trying In some way to find quarters
whereby it miRht get more room for Its
Increasing business. Mr. Sprague figured
with the owners of the building he now
occupies for Increased quarters, but It was
deemed impracticable. He will have one-
third of the lower floor of the Nash
building and use the upper floors for his
warehouse.
The Dunning Hardware company lias
also outgrqwn Its quarters on . Farnam
street and will move Into the Nash build
ing on Harney street, sharing the ground
floor with the Omaha Rubber ' company.

LARGEST IMPLEMENT DEPOT
Ma
Erect
Will
Plow Company
Kin of M arr-
huawa.
Last week the contract was let for the
construction of the largest implement ware
house In the west when the John Deere
Plow company let the contract for its new
home on Ninth' street, between Harney
nd Howard streets. This structure, when
complete, will be a great addition to the
growing Jobbing district of Omaha and will
add to the general solid appearance of
that district.
This structure . will be practically one
building, although it is built aa two build
ings, each 132 feet square. Above the first
floor the building will be built solid across
the alley, making one giant warehouse of
the two buildings.
The contract waa let to the Leonard
Construction company of Chicago, which
will build with reinforced concrete, mak
ing an absolutely fireproof building. The
work oa the twin structure will be begun
Monday.
One hundred and fifty men have been
pushing the construction of the new ware
house for the Omaha Wool and Storage
company and a record will probably be ea
laousned lor quicK wora on tma Duiiuing.
The storage In transit rates on wool went
Into effect on the Northwestern and the
Burlington last Thursday, so thut cars
probably will begin to arrive during the
coming week. It waa necessary, to handle
the businea and to show to the west that
Omaha meant business on its new wool
market, that the warehouse should be ready
tu recelv the wool when It began to ar
rive. Every Indication now la that this
will be accomplished.
