There are two thing toward which we
Americans seem to aspire, one is to ft as
high In the eir as possible and the other to
cover the around when traveling; as fast as
posalhle. At present these tendencies can
not be consistently related since one can
not go up hill as fast as on the level, but
the airship may overcome this obstacle. A
high hill or bluff with a level plateau at
the top and some easy means of ascending
Is Ideal In every respect Besides the pleas
ure to the eye of distant views, the air Is
always fr3h and cool. An eminence of
this description gives one a feeling of In
dependence. Without a doubt the most
appropriate and beautiful home for a lo
cation of thla kind Is a colonial house with
a two-story portico faced In the direction
having the most commanding view. There
Is something about a two-story portico
that makes it a' natural part of a home in

Unusual dullness obtained throughout
last week In the matter of realty trans
fers, but. on the other hand, building pro
gressed without a slump. Real estate men
make a general complaint about ppor busi
ness, though they admit that many In
quiries are being made, especially for
acres and suburban lots.
Very few sales were reported during the
week, the, only Important announcement
having been made by the Knights of Co
lumbus who bought property for a club
house near the high school on Dodge street,
paying 110,300.
On the other hand, the building Inspector
was kept busy Issuing permits, thirty-nine
having been granted during the week. Most
of them were for small oottages, which
further lndioatos that 1911 will bs the
greatest year In Omaha history for small
dwelling houses. The permits for the week
represent an agffregat layout of 176,800.
Most of these houses have been started In
suburban districts.
John D. Crelghton announces that he
will give two lots to Crelghton university.
These lots, located on Cass street, will bs
used as 'a playground for St. John's pa
rochial school. Coming with the announce
ment of the gift Is the decision of the
trustees to enlarge the school building. Ths
two lota are between Twenty-fifth and
Twenty-sixth streets.. facing south on Cass.
They are convenient and the only ones ad
jacent to the school. Each Is 66x132 feet,
both of them covering a quarter of a block.
Oeorge Co., who are exploiting Dun
dee lots, report a fairly successful week,
announcing some of the more Important
sales aa follows:
John Ooets to J. J. 8pellman, part of lot

Hastings h. Hoyden report an unusually
large number of salps durlnR l,c last
month, but declare the week ending , to
have been unusually dull. Most of their
sales have been of suburban lots and
acreage, for which there Is quits a demand
this spring.
Thomas J. Hall has sold to James T.
Klanaxan two lots at the southeast corner
of Hall avenue and Sherman uveiuo In
the recently platted Hallsholme addition
for $2,0. This ground Mr. Hall has used
for a yard for forty-five tars and Is 'a
part of the old Hall homestead. The .lum
ber for the house was all shipped from the
east and at the time the house won erected
It was pretty well out In the country. Mr.
Klanagan will build two modern bungalows

APRIL BUILDING OPERATIONS

Official reports from - forty-seven cities
throughout the country, as compiled by
the American Contractor, New York, show
an aggregate decline In building operations
lor the month of April of 17 per cent, as
compared with April,- 1910.- Uncertainty In
national politics, and anticipated labor
troubles in large building centers may
have caused considerable of this strlnkage.
