But that Is the real question, and enthusiasm for waterways, unless coupled with readiness and willingness to Issue bond:, for the amount required, will be of no avail. ' The government does not have the money at hand for so large an under taking. It could not raise it fast enough by taxation to complete the work, and if it could it would not be proper to make this generation pay so large a sum for work that few men now living could get much benefit from. The question Is. then. Shall we break away from our teachings and traditions of the past and launch forth upon this new undertaking? Shall we be glu this great work for all tha ages to come, even though In doing so we must trample upon some of our political Ideals. Issue f Bern as Keeeaaary. The American people have learned to dis like a national debt. It has been the dream ot every American that the good day will surely come when our national debt shall be paid and when no bond ot American liability shall be hawked about the market places of, the world. But can we afford longer to neglect opportunity lor a tetisn and abandon duty for tradition? Idealistic as It is to keep out of debt, it Is not prac tical always with men or nations if they would achieve in the largest way; and dear as traditions always are, they are not to be compared In obligation to duty with our responsibilities to the future. Every generation has been called upon to do soma great work, to solve some great problem, and to make some great sacrifice for the future generations of Americans. First was the revolutionary war of the fathers that their children might have liberty. Then the civil wsr by our more Immediate predecessors that their children might be one In political affairs and affection. One generation de fied almost the constitution itself that the future generations might have homes, and every generation has wrought that its successor might have improved oppor tunity. We of todsy with our unlimited larger transportation charges. Kansas has railroads to the gulf, la closer to the sea board, and the difference In price re ceived for a like amount of corn, wheat, oats and other agricultural products that Nebraska produced, amounted to almost $r0,000,000. Corn In Kansas was 4 cents more than In Nebraska. Wheat was 6 cents more. Oats and barley t cents more. Based upon the entire production of the state of these differences the loss was almost $30,000,000 to Nebraska. No doubt there would have been a difference in price even with a system of Internal waterways, but the difference would have been less on account of the cheaper trans portation. Kansas and Iowa and Mis souri are all losing enous-h every year by reason of their transportation rates to more than pay the Interest upon the most extravagant amount mentioned aa required to develop an Internal waterway system. What is true of the Mississippi valley Is equally true of other portions of the coun try. While the soli Is new and the expense of production comparatively cheep the producers can stand it. but when con ditions are changed by lapse of years a more economical method of reaching the seaboard must be had. The great master minds of transportation have called atten tion to this and have admonished us of our duty. They have pointed out the physical inadequacy and the economic In competency of the railroads In the years to come and have warned Us to be pre pared against the emergencies of tomor row. They have told us of the need of a cheaper transportation fur certain kinds of freight We should take possession of the great Mississippi and Missouri and Ohio and other rivers for the purposes of commerce and where nature has not pro vided us with canals we should build them. And because we cannot and ought not pay for them now we must charge them to the future. The Panama canal has been a precedent for us in this par ticular, and surely If we are justified In issuing bonds to aid the commerce of the world, we ought not to hesitate to do as much for our own people and the com merce of the forty-six states of this re public. The question then Is not the desirability of the system, for that Is settled, nor the plan of Its execution, for that will come credit and cheap money owe to our sue- j through skilled hands, but tha greatest of Cfssors our endeavors for their welfare. I all problems is to arouse the American If greater transportation facilities are ' people to sustain congress In providing TIMELY REAL ESTATE TALK Omahana Much Interested in National Eeal Estate Exchange. HOW TO VALUE OMAHA PROPERTY OJaestlon of I staa; Long; or Short Way .of Froataae to Determlae Cost of Lot la I'ader Debate Jfow. ' Omaha real estate men are interested in the coming meeting of the National As sociation of Real Estate Exchanges, to be held in Minneapolis next June, and in the work the national orsanlxatloVi is doing to establish uniform standards among dealers and procure a valuable Interchange of in formation and Ideas. C. P. Harrison, who went to Chicago the middle of the week to attend the meeting of the executive committee, came back very enthusiastic over the prospects.. One Of the Important thlncs done bv the i-nm. mtttee was the establishment of a monthly publication, to be known aa the National Real Estate Journal, which will be sent to all members of the association. Arrange ments have been made for the a-atharin ol real estate ni from n ik t cities in the United States and r-anxta An aggressive campaign will be made for new members and It Is hoped to double the membership within a year. The executive committee has annotated these commltteM- NatlonaK legislation, state legislation.- mu J nlcipal ordinances, code of ethics, taxation. organisation of exchanges. Boms of the practical questions to be taken up and dis cussed at tne national convention are these: The Best Mode of Advertising Real Es tate." "Uniform Kates of Commission." 'Relation of Real Estate to Public Im provements in Cities." '.'Management of Apartment Houses," "Promotion of Uni form Laws Relating to Conveyancing," 'The Science of Ileal Estate Valuea " Omaha fared well in the distribution of committee Dlumi. F D.

If commerce needs more econom ical transportation now, how much greater will It need it than; if the brains of men must be racked now to cheapen produc tion sufficient to tht demands of con sumption, how much more difficult will the problem be then? While we and our predecessors have wasted millions our tuo reeaors must be prepared to save the pen rles. They must harness the waterfall for power and utilise Its flow for econom ical transportation While It Is our duty to undertake this great work, It Is not nectsssry or proper that we should psy for It .all. any more than that the revolutionary war should have teen paid for by the fathers of the republic or that all the cost of the civil war should hnv'e been paid for by the same men who fought Its battles. It is no less our duly to begin this great work for the benefit of future generations .than It was for other generations to do what they did. We would be as recreant to our truat as Washington would have been negligent of his obligations tf we should hesitate because of the great expense and national indebtedness that It would imply.

Kaum mana, agricultural experts for the tier man empire, will meet a number of Omaha business men at luncheon at the Commer cial club on their visit to the city Wed nesday. The Commercial club will have charge of the plans for their entertainment and the luncheon is a part of the program. They are both Interested in irrigation and are anxious to meet business men who are interested In these projects. In the forenoon they will be taken through the packing houses and stock yards at their own request. The afternoon probably will be spent visiting some of the larger commercial houses In Omaha. They will leave at 4 o'clock in the afternoon for Scott's Bluff, where they mill Inspect the large irrigation works. German cltl sens' of Omaha had planned to hold a re ception for tbein in the evening, but the decision to leave on the afternoon Instead of the night train will pi event this feature of the entertainment , being carried out. ome of the prominent Omaha Germans will be given an opportunity to meet them at the Commercial dub.

Cc Sold ' by Beaton Drue Cav The Omaha Real Eatale exchange is just now In the throes of a discussion which started at the last meeting and will be continued, perhaps concluded, at the next as to whether It Is better to give the pros pective Investor the Impression that Omaha property Is cheap by quoting frontage values of corner lots on- the basis of the long frontage, or to give them the Idea that the city is booming, by quoting the frontage on the basis of the short side of the lot. In other words, the point under discussion is, it the lot at the corner of Sixteenth and Douglas streets is held at I42S.000. is It better to, say the lot Is held at fG.MO a front foot, based on the slaty six feet frontage, or to advertise that It Is worth $3,250 a front foot, basing the quota tion on the 132-foot frontage. The question was precipitated by Secre tary Harry Tukey, who asked the exchange to make an estimate of the highest real estate values In various classes in Omaha. The attempt te do this brought on the de bate aa to the relative virtues of high and low frontage valuations wben the two dif fering valuations are not real, but due only to the way you figure it. The conserva tives were for the most part for using the long frontage and cutting the front foot price In two, while those who want to see O-naha advertised by high valuations flocked to the support ot the short frontage method. The question was still an open one when time for adjournment caine, aud It probably will be taken up again at the next meeting. A- P- Tukey started the valuation making by suggesting 9C.5C4 a front foot for the best comer retail prop erty. Objection was made to this because It was merely what owners asked or re fused for their property. The highest aals , la recent year was 2,la a foot, and many Brick residence properties) aa a perma nent Investment . for estates and for men and women who, having earned a com petence, doslre to retire on a more or less regular, Income Is advocted by D. C. Pat terson, who has done some investigating In eastern cities. The question of how to Invest money In such a way as to secure a reasonable and permanent Income Is a serious one. Nearly all forms of Investment are open to some objection. Mortgages become due In a few years and have to be renewed usually at a lower rate or Interest, and they must be listed for taxation. They are also readily saleable and the tempta tion Is great to sell them to Invest In speculative propositions. Vacant property is usually a liability Instead of an asset and brings no Income. Farm lands are safe, but the returns are small. Frame residence property depreciates so fast it Is not considered a paying Investment after the t per cent or so per annum Is eharged off for depreciation. 'The most popular long-time real estate Investment lit the eastern cities," says Mr. Patterson, "are brick residence prop erties. They' are known to depreciate less than any other rental buildings and bring the best net Income. In Philadelphia and Baltimore may be seen miles of brick residence flats largely owned by estates and they are rarely offered for sale, be cause of tlie permanent Investment, steady Income and tha Increase In value of the ground, which Is Just as sure as the city is certain to grow in population." The selling of real estate according to men who are in the business Is peculiar in that what tends to boom sales In other lines has a tendency to decrease them In the real estate business. Con ventions and carnivals, two of the best stimulants the ordinary lines of business know, have a soporific effect on the sale of lots and lands. Omaha has Just passed through a period in which a triple dose has had an unusually marked effect. "The combination of the Eagles' con vention and the carnival," said a dealer, "seemed enough to take people's minds off sordid Investments and consequently we looked for the usual quiet time we always experience after such seasons of gaiety. The street car strike coming on top of these added to the effect and, as a result, there has been little doing this week. However, the effect Is only tem porary and business will be brisk enough !d a week or two to make up for it all." Interchange of Ideas and desire to see what Omaha's big rival to the south Is doing Is back of a plan of the local real estate men to visit Kansas City In a body soon. The Kansas City exchange has Issued the invitation and tha Omaha ex change la now trying to determine through a committee whether it is feasible or not. The Indications are Uist a big crowd of the members will go down to the Missouri city within a few weeks. Private com munications from Kansas Cityans declare the latter are only waiting the oppor tunity to show the Omaha men the time of vtholr lives. , F. W. Engler, who moved to Omaha from Denver last week, has Juat pur chased a new 7-room house in Kountie Place at S223 Lotlirop street. It was sold to him by Hastings A Ileyden for $3,760. The old Solomcn home at Forty-third and Seward streets was sold lsst wcelc by Mrs. Solomon to Robert J. Kelly. It consists of three lots and the considera tion was $10,000. WYOMING SURE ON THE BOOM State la Developing Ita Miners! and AgrrJcnltaral Resources Rapldlr Sara Frank Walters. "Wyoming Is surely booming." said Frank Walters, general manager of the North western, who has returned from a trip over the Northweatern'a Wyoming lines. "The dry farmers aa well as those de pending upon Irrigation had splendid crops this year, oil Is pouring from tha ground, and mineral resources are being developed and everywhere you go Is an air of pros perity and growth. "At Wypo, near Lander, they have Just completed two huge oil tanks of $7,t00 barrel capacity each for ' holding the oil which la being pumped from the wells near Lander. While I was there they had a continuous slx-lncl: -stream. "We now have two locomotives equipped for burning this oil and Monday will have two more fixed with oil burners.

Weak Over-worked Women Who are broken down and made invalids by the drudgery of never ending household cares and duties, or by over-frequent bearing and nursing of childern, and many pther cares, burdens and strains which the weaker sex have to bear, are deserving of profound sym pathy. But while sympathy is commendable what these unfortunate women most need is a good, honest, square-deal Restorative Tonic and Strength-giving Nervine and Regulator one compounded and carefully adapted to act in harmony with woman's peculiar, deli cate, ever sensitive organization. Who so well fitted to select, carefully proportion the ingredients and compound a remedy for the cure of these distressing and often pain-wracking weaknesses and derange ments, as the carefully and thoroughly educated and regularly graduated physician who has had a long and successful experience in treating just this class of cases.
