1 G A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: NOVEMBER 18. 1S17. OMAHA PLANS AN INDUSTRIAL CENTER .Realtors Say City Well Situated for Such De velopment at This ' Tinie The requirements that ro to make up a successful real estate man in this day are many more than a few years ago. As an instance, a prominent realtor has found it necessary in plan ning for a large industrial proposition to make a study of the industrial sit uation in other cities. He has accumu lated a library of reports and surveys showing the latest developments in industrial investments in all the lead ins' cities of the country. Trackage property and improve ment, in the way of paved streets, sewerage, water, buildings that will accommodate a number of industries, proximity to sufficient population to ' furnish labor, and other factors that go to make up a modern industrial nlant. lie has now well in mind, and well in hand, through pamphlets, re ports, pictures ana statistics mat nc lias gathered. , , i Under the stimulus of this investi gation, this realtor states that, in the near future he will announce one of the largest and most up-to-date de velopments of this kind Omaha has ever seen. - For business reasons the details cannot now be made public. It is conceded, by those ho have made any special study of this line of in vestment that Omaha is unusually well situated for- such development, not only in the railway situation and the fact that the city is one of the most central in the country, but in its topography there arc many advan tages. . One lack is stifltcient population to man the industries. It has been said for a long time that Omaha's factories employ more people than f)rnaha can furnish, and therefore have to be located in surrounding towns. This weakness in the situa tion will he overcome in due time and after the country becomes more familiar, with Omaha's needs in this direction. ' , Ed Slater is Resting . At Excelsior Springs Ed M.

FAMOUS SCULPTOR HAS PASSED AWAY Auguste Eodin, After Lifetime of Eebuff, Won Fame and Fortune Which He Gave to France. , 'Paris, Nov. 17. Auguste Rouin, the famous sculptor, is dead. Rodin was bom in Paris in 1840. His youth was a struggle against pov erty, when he had left his father's home and his early schooling to fare for himself as an untrained sculp tor. For several years he labored as assistant to a maker of ornaments then as a designer of models for the Sevres factory and finally ata more congenial pursuit in Brussels. In 1877, when 37 years old, he sud denly leaped into prominence. His "Age of Bronze," though accepted by the Salon, astonished the jury hy its perfection of form and the artist was accused of having cast it frpm the living model. , v In 1898 he completed his statue of I Balzac, executed on the order of the bociete des Gens dc Letres, which was rejected. For fifteen years his statue of Victor Hugo went begging for a site in the streets- and squares of Paris. Finally? in 1906, it was reluctantly granted a position of honor in the gardens of the Palais Royal. In his declining years Rodin showed no trace of the bitterness that so hard a me mignt nave ictt witn him. In 1914 he crowned a lifetime which he still possessed and in ad dition the objects of ancient art which it had taken him a lifetime to collect. ; crnmcnt life insurance.
