Rera an some of the Ideas of a Iocs' j
reel estate salesman on the development
of Farnam itwt:
"Tpper Fmniam atreet presents a
Kood illustration of the results of the
natural expansion of tbe business portion
of the city;
"Several substantial building! hare r
ceotlr been erected between Eighteenth
and Twenly-riflh streets ori F amain
street. Including the two Wead buildings,
the Wellington, Sanford and Harvard
hotels, the Hamilton apartments and not
lesa than fifteen garages. The rise In
valuation flue to bulldinc operations on
thla street was phenomenal. In IM the
southwest corner of Eighteenth and Far
lurm street was aold by the late Edwin
Haney to the Woodmen circle tor WMW.;
ha having paid tl.WO for tha let In 1ST
A lot near Twentieth and Farnam
treats was leased for a period of year?
on a valuation of 1790 per front foot
Lota at Twenty-second street which were
offered si 1101 to fa per front foot hare
Doubled and trebled In the last five years,
the Influence being felt as tar west as
Twenty-elxth street, where property of
fered at HQS per front toot only aix
years ago Is now being leased on a basis
of I2W to $3vJ0 per front foot
''In tbe course of time the one and
two-story parage buildings and flats on
Farnam street Mat ot Twenty-fourth
street will be replaced by larger build
ings. A large retail store at Twenty.
Seconal and Farnam streets today would
be a losing venture, but, with tha crass
town Una through on Twenty-fourth
street It Is no! Improbable that the busi
ness center t tha city wilt be located at
Twenty-fourth and Farnam streets fifty
years from today,
"Business houses In seeking a new lo
cation naturally try to discount tha fu
ture) The Omaha National bank bought
the New York Lite building t Seven
teenth and Farnam etraots after occupy
ing a bulldinc on Thirteenth street for
over a quarter ot a osatury,'
Referring to Sixteenth street, this man
said!
"Only twelve years SCO ons of tha larg
est retail stores In Omaha was locatad
at th corner ot Fifteenth street anil
tfepltol avenue, later building at Six
teenth and Harney streets. Th develop
ment Ot South Mxteenth street followed.
Price bf property alone that street
soared as a result, Th trend southward
on BUteenth street will probably not
continue further' than Jones street, as
the viaduct at Leavenworth street bars
farther progress la that direction,"
Charles Mulford Robinson ot Rochester,
N. Y city planning expert. In his con
ference with the city planning committee
of Urn Omaha Ral Estate exchange last
week, hated the following reasons given
by hi congestion committee" ot Greater
New York for advocating a city plan:
FirstTo conserve the public health by
tha Improvement of housing conditions,
Heoond To secure the proper provision
f parks, play grout ant and open apaces,
I. t their proper distribution, appropri
ateness ot sis and adaptability to local
Beads, .
Thlrd-To make possible th proper de
velopment of the. Beweraga system,
adapting th slae ot the sewers to the
nature of th demena .that would be
Made upon them.
Fourth-To do ths same thing as to
water distribution.
Fifth To secure a rational and effec
tive transit system.
BIxth-To avoid waste of money In ac
quiring; land for future public purposes.
Heventh To promote Industrial effl
slency by the wise location of factories
and the Improvement of their transporta
tion facilities.
E. T, Ileyden ot Hastings A Heyden.
who recently returned from s ftva weeks'
trip to California, Bays that he does not
want his real estate friends hers to think
that he goes to California foe his health
or pleasure, but goes there on business
ss well. The last trip he sold twenty
fire residence lots In the city ot Ontario,
let contracts for putting down cement
walks, curbing and grading, in their ad
dition, planted seven and one-half acres
In peaches and started to build two flve
loom bungalows In Ontario, which has a
population of about (.000, and la located
about tblrty-elght miles east of Los
Angeles. The city of Ontario does not
accept an addition until the streets are
graded, curbing all put In and the streets
oiled, which does away with tha many
unsightly streets and makes a beautiful
looking city.
"Business has been rushing hers on his
return to th office." says Mr. Heyden,
"and ths outlook for real estat busi
ness in Omaha looks very encouraging,
better than at any time for several years
st this time of tbo year. Many people
seem to want new homes."

BUILDHp
The Living Room
By Arttmr L Classen,
MM
WKNTT-FTVB years ago a
home having any pretense of
sis or elegance was not coo
Mdered oomplet sales th
first floor consisted of the
venal kitchen and d:ning
room, and In addition to these a sitting
room, library, parlor and reception halL
Tha rooms were sot very Urge and no
attempt was mad to spent? connect
them, thereby Increasing their size In ap
pearance by giving a greater effect of
distance. The reception hall was not
greatly different from reception halla ot
today, except that It was not openly con
nected with other rooms. Ths parlor was
closed off entirely separate from the
other rooms and only used for company.
In It was ths usual brass table with an
onyx top, th gilded and anholatered
chairs, the tiger or leopard akin rug, a
little corner cupboard full of curious, and
sometimes the organ or splnerette. This
room was for guests.
The library was used largely as a snick
ing room and her the man of the house
spent most of his leisure time. The sit
ting room was a sort ot family workshop.
where mother and daughters spent much
of their time with the family sewing.
The day of small parlors Is past and
we now hat the large living room In
which are combined the old-time parlor,
sitting room and sometimes the library.
The living room Is invariably eonnacted
with the reception hall by large open
ing. In large country homes, bungalows
or homes of craftsman style the living
room Is also th reception halt This
change ot affairs has developed out ot
the fact that there I a feeling prevalent
throughout the nation that homes should
be built on a mora formal. simpKr and
homelike plan. We always feei more at
home and more honored upon entering a
home for the tint time to be taken Into
the family living room, where a more
homelike atmosphere prevails than Is to
be found la the formal parlor or rsceptloo
hall.
For those who still adhere to a separata
reception hall of some sort, tbe separata
library or den IS popular.
Every living room should contain a
fireplace. It Is true that they are not
absolutely necessary In this day of
modern heating plants, but they bring
back boyhood days when elder and kpplea
baking la a row were sweeter than they
are now. Around It gathered the family
traditions, and before Its biasing Ore
they were repeated to each succeeding
generation. Here discussions are carried
on with deliberation and mutual respect.
