THE BEK: OMAHA.' THURSDAY. AVIUU 1. 1915. OMAHA LEADS ALL AS GROWING CITY So Declares N. C. Kingsbury, Vice President of Bell Telephone . Syitem. WAR HAS NOT STOPPED GKOWTH Omaha and the territory tributary to Omaha in one of the moat substan tially prosperous sections of the coun try today; at least that is so with re gard to the Bell telephone system. The 'European war, while it has not stopped our growth, haa retarded It, and we find that this part of the country is less affected by the war than any other section. This in sub stance wa6 the assertion of N. C. Kingsbury, vice president of the American Telephone and Telegraph company, who Is stopping in Omaha, the guest of Casper Yost, president ot the Nebraska Telephone company. Mr. Kingsbury Is on his way homo to New Tors; from the Ban Francisco expos!-. . tion. lie arrived In Omaha Tuesday even ing and left last night. , "I have been coming to Omaha for thirty year." declared Mr. Klngabury. "and I find on each vialt that the city has continued Its steady advancement When I first came to Omaha It waa not yet a city. Now 1 find it a prosperous, substantial city. It cannot help but grow and become each year more and mora Important as one of our leading commer cial cttlea I made a little trip around town and one thing Impressed me greatly there are hardly any locations for rent. ' All seem' to be occupied. That la always a big indication ot the prosperity of a city. "I never miss an opportunity to stop off la Omaha to see Mr. Tost. The Nebraska Telephone company is one of the biggest units tn our syatenv and 'right now we find this company registering greater gains than any other." Mr. Kingsbury declared the disturbed business conditions generally prevailing have not been se serious for. the Bell Tel ephone system as to many Industries. "It has retarded our growth a little," said Mr. Kingsbury, "but it haa by no means stopped it. We are growing as ever, but not quite so fast-" Talk ta New York from Fair. Mr. Kingsbury declared the big fair at San Francisco was beautiful and should be seen by all who can. "It is quite wonderful thing." he said, "and I would not have missed it. Our system has an exhibit there, and I think it la one of tha, best on the grounds. Wi have a theater constructed which seats about 17S per- tons. Four or five times av day this theater is filled and connections opened with New York, Receivers are attached to each seat, and everybody can hear distinctly every word said on tha New York end of the wire. X young man there reads weather reports, , newspaper headlines and the like. It is the same aire over which Mr. Bell and Mr. Watson recently conversed for the first time. "A strange thing about that New York wire is the reluctance ot . the people to believe the possibility of such ' long dis tance talking-: Many are heard to . de bars as they come but. 'Oh, that's a take, they have someone over in Oakland ta!k It.g.' They bear so plainly that they -not believe lb true." " ' v, i: Piano Department ! at Brandeis Stores Draws Big Crowds That 'omsma "music lovers appreciate the etforte of the Brnndels stoies In In stalling a high class piano department Is evidenced by the large crowds that are filling the department this week to hear the concerts which are being presented.

Amateurs Granted , I Eight to Play on ; ' Fort Omaha Ground - Congressman C. O. Lobeck has received a-message from the adjutant general of the War department at Washington, giv ing permission - to the Omaha Amateur Base Ball, association to play ou the grounds, at Fort pmaha trim year.; The amateur association took this matter up with Lobeck some time ago and ha at once applied for permission for the sand lotters to use the diamond. The grounds will be free for the use of the lads next Sunday. No admission can be charged to games played on the Fort Omaha grounds, as is tha case of city grounds. Mr. Lobeck has also received a season pass to all games played In the.Paclflo Coast leaguer President Al Baum issued the pass at the request of the umpires of the ' league. Umpires seem to have a hankering for tha Omaha congressman, as he haa been "honorary" chief of staff for the American ' league the last two years. One of the Interesting, attractive, en tertaining antf pretty thlnTS In-connection with the Burgesa-Nash company stores Is the Raster garden on the fourth floor, and from morning until the stores close at night. It Is surrounded by crowds of people, old and young. Owing to the cllmatlo conditions that have been coming along with a delayed spring,! the real things suggestive of Faster are about as rare as sngels' visits, consequently, Easter gardens have been even more rare, although Easter la al most here. However, the Easter garden In the Bur-gess-Nash stores Is the-real thing, about everything that goes along with Easter having a place In the space that has been set apart for the purpose. This garden occupies a large canopied space In tha center of the fourth floor space and everything about It makes one think of spring that was due to have arrived long ago. . . ' l Flowers tn profnalon. The four sldea of the garden are en closed by a typical garden fence, .Minted white, and Just lnalde the rail are Saater lilies In an endless profusion, all In bloom and each and all shedding forth their de lightful perfume that permeates all de- artments on the floor. Below and In regulation coops are several broods of chickens real chickens, all alive and as happy aa lark a Althouith young, they are making good growth and are as lively aa crickets, not realising that theyare soon to approach the fry season". Then, besides the chickens, there are other live things, hung tn cagea from the bottom of the rail supporting the canopy of purple and white, and hid among the green are a score or more ot csges. all Inhabited by canary birds. These birds are of the singing variety, and each bird apparently feels that It la working In competition with every other bird In tha matter ot alngtng. They sing constantly and their music Is a delight to the visitors to the department a Real F.aaa. On the floor of the garden, while- there are no hens visible, there are at least two doren nests, and it is almost certain that tha hens have been there, for each nest contains a liberal supply of egga. Most of them are real eggs, bvthaome of them are of china, put there to fool the hens. Appomattox Day to Be Celebrated Here C. E.
