Two biuilnns changes at geneiel Interest
are annonneML Charles O. ArnMtrons: bu
reslimed ths Tl praddencr of the D. V.
Sholrs company to engage In business for
tilmself In partnership with Arthur H.
Walsh and 8. F. Itoatwlclc has art m vl re
lations with tha PajTie, Boatwlck Slater
company and la In bualncaa now by him
self with offices In tha City National bank
building.
Tlia Armstrong-Walsh company, aa It
will bo known, will be Incorporated In a
day or two. The company's offices wlU be
In the lirandels theater building;, tha ad
drew being 210 South Seventeenth street.
Accordingly for next door neighbor the
new firm will have the Byron Reed com
pany. Doth members of tha firm are well
known In Omaha and Nebraska. Mr. Arm
1 strong has been in the real estate business
here fur ten years, nearly all this time
with the Bholes company, and has been
vlie president of this for five years past
Mr. Walsh cams here from Lincoln a few
years ago to manage the real estate de
partment of the Heneon-Myers company.
Hefore that ha waa manager of the Marshall-Walsh
company of the capital city,
which did a real estate and Insurance
business.
The new firm, which will have a large
working capital, will make a specialty of
pelllng real estate and fire Insurance. A
good rial of business already has been
pledged to it.
' The biggest real estate subject afloat Is
the Union Pacific's project for a new
Wholesale and Jobbing district on Jackson
street. The matter has not developed much
the last few days owing to the opposition
of some property owner to .trackage up
this thoroughfare, but that It will ulti
mately come about, and before very long
at that, there Is not much room for doubt.
The wholettale district must expand, and
at once, although Its present areas are
large. No objection will be registered to
Increased trackage up the alley between
Jackson and Leavenworth, and sooner or
later tracks must run west up Jackson.
The wholesale district has expanded to
tha north with rapid encroachment upon
the least admirable part of Omaha and
predictions have long been current that
the Inhabitants of this district would be
fore long be forced to go somewhere else
because o warehouses taking place there.
Just for the present this movement has
stopped a little, although new wholesale
and depot buildings are going up In this
neighborhood, and the movement probably
oon. will be resumed because the whole
sale district is bound to expand In almost
every direction except east, where location
Is undesirable even if possible.
. The jobbing houses of Omaha are grow
ing with tremendous strides. Each year
the big houses increase their . business IS
to 26 per cent, and as new territory is set
tled to the westward the business will
grow even faster. Many of the jobbing
bouses are now and have for some time
been cramped for room and more floor
pace Is imperative. This Is no mere wordy
boast Only last week It was announced
that tha Lee-Glass-Andreesen company will
double Its present building and tha King
man Implement company announced that
H must have tnuoh mora room. Several
other houses have likewise definitely stated
that they must build bigger homes, and
others not yet announced are known to be
planning bigger facilities. This Is true of
several along tha Tenth -street viaduct and
of others also In the neighborhood.
The question was raised at last Wednes
day's meeting of tha Real Estate exchange
as to whether tha exchange deserves the
title.
' -We talk of everything but real estate
bare," said D. C. Patterson, chairman of
tha committee on revision of tha by-laws.
Mr. Patterson was aaklnc members tor
advice on tha subjects desired by his oom
xnltiea to report upon.
"I have examined tha by-laws of other
exchanges," said he, "and I find that
Most of them have to do chiefly with
aulas for oonduct of sales and deals on
the floor of tha exchange. These exist
largely to promote actual buarnaea. while

Mr. Patterson rose and said ho had

could oblige by buytnc them at a good

B can hardly realise that there
was once a time when the idea
of having plumbing in a home
and all the sanitary conven
iences which go with it was
both ridiculed and condemned.
In some cities the doctors declared it was
not sanitary and In several instances health
laws were passed prohibiting it. Such Is
the skepticism which all great Improve
ments have to battle. We are going
through very much the same program with
vacuum cleaner today. Many x-ole think
It Impossible to properly clean a house
without the old-time druggery with every
thing In the house turned topsy-turvy.
Still, It Is done with less work and incon
venience than giving a home an old-fashioned
dally sweeping, and done better, too.
The prophecy Is that In a few years a
home will not be considered complete with
out its vacuum cleaning system and It
wilt be considered as indlspenslble as the
modern bath room or heating plant.
There are some things which go Into the
construction of home in which one can
vary the quality without noticeable effects,
but plumbing and heating are not among
them. If tho difference between letting the
poorest or best plumber In the city do your
work -4s only a matter of J!j0 or $75, give It
to the best pl(imber and pay him his price.
You will find that( It will not only be a
saving of as much' or more expense later
on, but will in fact prove a good Invest
ment, paying you a good return for your
money through the constant saving of re
pairs. There are a hundred and more ways
in which an Incompetent plumber can slight
his work and not have It noticeable to the
average man until the house is plastered,
papered and the plumbing given practical
use. As a rule It Is not until ths decora-

two elements, ilnt and soap grease, are
responsible for most of the stoppage In a
plumbing system.
There Is probably a greater variety In
the cost and quality of plumbing fixtures
than anything else In the building business.
It Is best to leave their selection (when
the cost Is limited) to the architect, who
will specify goods consistent with the size
and cost of the house. If something special
Is wanted, or the architect's services are
not available, it is better to make selec
tions from the homes of friends who have
given them practical use than to accept
the dealer's word for them or select from
catalogues. The maker's name can always
be found on all of the best fixtures. Lava
tories (wash basins) come in a great va
riety of styles, some of them an ornament
to any room. Bath tubs do not vary so
much In shape, but vary a great deal as to
price and quality. They range in price
from $18 to $125, and, as one plumber put
It, "A man can take as clean a bath In a
cheap tub as an expensive ens." But the

main point Is how many more baths a
man can take in otie tub than in another.
A tub costing from $30 to $S0 is a Rood,
serviceable tub, having a guarantee on
the enamel and is good enouRh for 'he
average man. Anything costing more t
than this is for style, it Is folly to buy
a fixture which Is not guaranteed by the
makers, a i-here waste of money. The
low-down tank toilet is the only kind now
used In modern homes. A toilet should
bo selected for the quantity of material
and Its noiseless qualities. Some toilets
make a noise like a cataract, others are
almost unheard in thei next room. The
sink should always be lat;i and enameled
Inside with a twelve-inch back. An
enameled Iron drain board Is not prac
tical. Those who have them regret the
fact, for they berak too many dishes.
Vetroware wash tubs are the best, but
cost more than slate or stone tubs, which
are more commonly used. A drain In tho
laundry floor Is always convenient. The
down spouts when not connected with the
cistern should be connected with the sewer
and always carried around the outside of
the basement wall. They should never be
connected with the sewer pipe in under
the house, since a heavy rain will some
times back water out of the basement fixtures.

from their fastenings, the enamel peals off
of the tub and tha floor Is torn up by an
other plumber during subsequent repairs
that a homebullder finds that he made a
mistake In letting his contract to the man
with a low price Instead of to the man with
a food reputation. This Is not saying that
the man who happens to submit the lowest
estimate Is not competent, for he may be
simply the lowest of several competent
men, but very often a home builder will
obtain estimates from everyone he can, and
In this case the low man la often the one
who will get the largest profit, because he
baa not figured on good work.

terfere with the arrangement of rooms de

plumbing, kitchen sink and laundry tubs

cheapest, but when doing so would moan
to plan the entire home different than

fact, tbe really "ft reproof' construction,
that Is, buildings with walla of atone or
brick and all the framing of steel protected
with hollow fl reproofing tile or some sub
stitute protection, only amounted to 14 per
cent of ths wnole. And In most of these
the owners only elmed at protecting the
structure, they did not enclose the stairs
and elevators, protect ths windows or do
half the vefy necessary things to save the
Uvea and oontents in thoae buildings. Tbe
hollow tils will protect ths steel and ths

YOU HAVE got to know about
Pocatello. It offers the most
supreme opportunity for in
vestment, safe, secure, and
bound to pay that the entire
west shows forth today. Pooatello is a
city; in every sense of the word Poca
tello is a city. Small, yet, to be sure,
but it is the center of a vast industrial
area, all of which must pay tribute to
this eagw, earnest growing oity; the
entrepot for all the mining, agricultu
ral and commercial wealth of Idaho.
And I want you to know about Poca
tello. That's why 111 send a wonder
fully beautifully book free of any sort
of cost. I am not in the real estate
business. But I do own property in
Pocatello and I want to see it grow. I
know that you will want to invest
money in Pocatello when you know as
much about it as I do. That's why I
want you to send for this free book. I
invested my money in Pocatello be
cause I absolutely knew that it would
grow to be a biff city and I also know
that every single family that comes to
Pocatello will raise the value of my
property. I know that you will come
to Pocatello, once you know the su

the growth of the city. The days of

that doesn't hurt the value of the book

Please remember that the country

Idaho has no more room for drones

you'll have to work just as everyone
