Once Western Outpost
Of Business Activity
Now Ideally Located
At the time of completion of the
Bee building the erection of which
was started in 1887, it stood as the
western outpost of the business dis
trict of Omaha and many shook
their heads at the daring of the
builder in locating so huge a struc
ture far from the center of , activi
ties. But the vision of Mr. Rose
water, who had the foresight to
see the trend of the city's growth,
was vindicated in a few years.
For office purposes the Bee build
ing is ideally located. The almost
prophetic judgment of the founder,
Edward Rosewater, has been ful
filled, for the gradual growth of
the business of Omaha to the west
ward on Farnam street, has, in the
past two decades, placed the Bee
bu'lding in the center of the com
mercial, civic and industrial life 'of
Omaha. All of the activities of
the city are within easy reach of
tenants of" the structure and will
continue so for decades! to come.
Another peculiarity of the . build
ing is the stability of its tenant
population. Many of the offices
save been occupied since its opeh
"g by the same person, firm, or
nrporation and instances are many
.vhere these have grown from very
modest beginnings to great success.
The present population of the
; Ree biulding is conservatively es
j timated at 800 and thousands of
i other persons pass its portals daily
; in the transaction of various busi
, ncss affairs.
i It is one of the structures of
Omaha endowed with the personal-
i ity of history and which is identi
fied with many of the great civic,
economic. and political achievements
! of Omaha, Nebraska and the middle
vest, and because of the nature of
its tenancy will continue in this
relation to a section potentially the
richest and affording the greatest
future for development in America.

Huns Rush Up Troops
To Hold Yankee Army
With the American Forces on the
Front Northwest of Verdun, Sept.
28. (By Associated Press.) The
determination of the Germans to
hold the Argonne forest and the re
gion east has caused the enemy to
reinforce the front opposing the
Americans. - One German division
brought up is the same unit that was
used to reinforce the line, when
the Americans fought for Belleau
wood, northwest of Chateau
Thierry,
There has been much fighting in
the dense forest, but its character
has been largely that of a clearing
operation, a great number of iso
lated machine gun nests being met
with. These and ordinary snipers
have been troublesome, although
unimportant in view of the general
operation.
One detachment of engineers
south of Montfaucon, being hamper
ed in their work, dropped their tools
long enough to clean out one-Ger-machine
gun nest. The gunners who
were not killed were captured by the
Americans.
