Before the snow blows and It la time
again to stoke the furnace, hundreds of
people of Omaha will bo housed In the
many elegant new apartment houses that
aro being built In Omaha. This has been
a great summer for tha "building of apart
ment houses If one may jurtgo from tho
crop of these flno buildings that has
sprung up In the city. While the build
ing of those structures haa been wide
spread throughout tho city the greater
part of it has centered between Howard
and Douelaa streets and between Twenty-fourth
and Twenty-sixth.
Within this little, area of eight blocks
haa gTOwn a wondcrrul crop of apart
ment houses, most of which aro at
present nearlng completion. Tho greatest
cluster In this sroup Is that on the block
bounded by Twenty-fifth street and
Twenty-sixth avenuo and Furnam and
Douglas. Here tho Athlono and the Alice,
built by tho Donahue estate, aro nearlng
completion. They are flyo-atory buildings
and tho two cover half tho block. On tha
same block three other apartment houses
arft being built, ono of them by Hastings
& Hcyden. All are nearly completed, with
the exception of one, which is going for
ward with all possible speed.

All the work on Uie apartment houses
la belue pushed with the greatest energy
In the hope that all may bo In readiness
to receive tenants by the time the cold
weather comes on. In the main there Is
no question now but that the builders
will bo successful in this effort While
thero aro many apartment houses in the
city, the tende.ncy during the last few
years has been for tenants to leavo the
older apartments and move to the newer
and more up-to-date onow, where the ac
commodations wero lietter in many re-
ispects. Some of tho very old apartment
houses have kept up to modern Improve
ments by Installing all tlie latest fixtures
of modern houses,' while some others have
clung to old systems of heating and
plumbing. It la these things thut have
caused many tenants to seek the newer
apartments in casting about for locations.
Tho tendency in 'building apartment
houses now Is to run them nil up to such
a height as to get as much room as
possible under one roof. It la the oconomy
of building where ground space Is valua
ble and besides It insures coolness In tlu
summer. Thus the newer apartment
houres that are going up In Omaha .are
practically all from four to five and six
stories high.

talks made by the delegates at the realty
convention at Winnipeg. The five-minute
talk of O. P. Harrison of Omaha was

Mr. Chairman. Ladies and Gentlemen
I think it was ilr. Bryco who said that
tho prosperity and greatness of the
United Btatea could only be expressed In

I they aro the solid things wmcn give

It lias been In the last twelve years, and
you will pardon me while I give the
figures. I know you want to hear them:

1911, 151.009. Tho bank clearings I want
