more serious than he had thought.

Joel W. Ws, working In the Interest of

Mr. West has been at work on this task
for the last ten days, but without success.

because the Dahlman men Insisted that he
must be one of the candidates. Then a
compromise was reached as to South
Omaha, which would leave Jerry Howard
and "Doe" Tanner to fight it out The
great stumbling block came on the elimina

the best Umber offered by the democrats
and Insisted both ought to be slated as

agreement could be reached and at this

In the last five years I have visited mnny of the leading cities of the , United
States and I find the income from property is not so large a percentage of its value
as it is in Omaha. In some instances in other cities the values are' so high that the
net income does not exceed 3 or 4 per cent on the money invested. ;

property a price sufficiently low to produce 10 per cent. F. D. WEAD.
