r. II. Landeryou-There are a number Of
inquiries for homes Of moderate values.
These come from people OF moderate means.
There is a scarcity of five and six-room
houses. I 6nd but little inquiry for large
properties. Capitalists could find no better
investment for their idle money than build
ing a number Of FIVE and six-room cottages
that would rent at from SIS to $50 per
month.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-03-15

George & Co.-The real estate market is
in a good, healthy condition; prices are low
and we don't expect TO see any very great
change in values this year.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-03-15

n. P. Dodge, jr.-There is a great deal
doing in houses. This is caused by the in
crease in the wages Of carpenters and build
ers, which is leading many to buy and build
instead of renting. Houses are also being
built for investment, and the number Of
home owners is rapidly increasing.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-03-15

M. C. Montgomery have now a num-
Der Of sales TO bring through. The pros
poets are very fine for a good real estate
business in Omaha Just now, and these
prospects are growing. There is a con-
slant demand for nice homes. There is
also a strong inquiry for Douglas county
farm properties, near Omaha. The lower
ing Of the city taxes has the tendency to
induce people to buy city property for
investment. There is also a persistent
inquiry for business Investments.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-03-15

George NJ. Nattinger-The real estate
outlook is good. We have closed more deals
the past month than for the three months
previous. There is a brisk demand for all
the money we can get hold of. Encumbran-
ces are being rapidly lifted from proper
ties. Most Of the inquiries for loans are
from persons who wish to buy property and
build homes.

tunities for profitable investment in Omaha
real estate. While Improvement is noted

Omaha daily bee., 1903-03-15

Home Building-The demand for homes
in Omaha and South Omaha is accurately
measured by@the activity of the Omaha
Loan and Building association. Secretary
George NJ. Nattinger reports that the de-
mand for loans with which to purchase or
build homes is equal to the supply of
money. The associations receipts aver
ages 100000 a month. All OF 1t has been
engaged in advance throughout the winter
and the demand upon the association grows
brisker as the building season approaches.
w. H. Green-Real estate annot be lost
unless the owner borrows money on II
and cannot pay. 1t is the only non-perish-
able investment. II real estate is prudently
purchased and paid for 1t is the nearest
thing TO absolute permanency and safety
possible. The only thing that can stop the
growth of Omaha would be some cataclysm
of nature or an awful pestilence, and even
then the city would eventually recover. /
consider any wise investment in Omaha
real estate and Nebraska farms as the
safest investment that can possibly be
made.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-03-15

Hastings & Heyden-From the standpoint
Of a party just starting in business we are
extremely hopeful for the Omaha realty
outlook. The Real Estate exchange has
done An infinite amount of good, better, in
fact, than any organization we have in
the city. There is a very active and con-
slant call for acre suburban properties.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-03-15

David c. Patterson-I feel that the best
speculation and investment to be found in
all the country is in Omaha real estate.
Think Of it-how absurdly low are the
prices! Acreage close in to the city limits
as cheap as Iowa farm land. Residence
property for the cost Of the buildings. Lots
at prices prevailing in Iowa and Nebraska
towns OF 10000. and that. too, in face of
the fact that in all the west no city has had
such a commercial growth as Omaha dur
ing the last three years.

J. Fletcher am chiefly engaged in emil
grafton work toward the western part Of
the state, andi have just established head
quarters here in Omaha. My observation
here is that the outlook for Omaha realty
matters is unquallhedly good. There is a
demand for business properties from out
side Investors, which is a very favorable
indication.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-03-15

George N. Hicks-I consider Omaha never
10 have been in better shape for invest
ments than it is today, Conditions OF rents
ere such that no farm land investment can
begin to offer such remunerative returns
as those to be obtained by building houses
TO rent in this city. The Real Estate ex-
change has it within it's rower to do more
good for Omaha than any other crganiza-
ton, as it's efforts are directed to upbuilding
the real property OF the city.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-03-15

Garvin Bros.-An encouraging feature Of
the local real estate market is the in
creased inquiry from nonresidents wanting
to buy Omaha property for purpose Of in
vestment. The conditions simply show that
real estate is returning to the normal, al
though prices continue low.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-03-15

A. P. Turkey & Son-A marked feature Of
the real estate business is coming to be
the demand for small tracts along the
routes Of the projected suburban street car
lines and this is going to figure largely in
our future business.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-03-15

Thomas Observation-Disclosures In taxes is
having a good effect upon sales of Omaha
real estate. l have sold considerable prop
erty, much OF which was taken by eastern
mortgages after the boom. From now on
Omaha real estate promises to be a profit
able Investment at present prices.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-03-15

w, R. H1man-Real estate matters have
been very good since the first of the year.
Houses are well rented and there is little
or nothing vacant. Store buildings are
renting better than for ten years. The low
tax levy this year has been a benefit to city
real estate.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-03-15

lions are favorable for a gradual advance
in values. When city real estate is re-
lleved of that part OF the burden OF taxa
tion that other interests should pay, it will
be in a more healthy condition to advance.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-03-15

G. S. Benawa-Omaha property Is a good
Investment now for the reason that the
rate Of interest on farm land is not as high
as that which can be derived from city
property at present prices. Rentals are
better from Omaha real estate than they
have been for some years previously and
this will increase building, which will fur
Their add to the value of city property.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-03-15

Christ Boyer-The reduction OF taxes will
certainly have a marked influence on real
estate. l expect an increased activity this
year. Omaha real estate is as low now as
1t will ever be, and the tendency is to ad-
vance in price. The rental properties are
paying a fair interest on Investments and
money invested in Omaha real estate is in
my opinion safe and profitable.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-03-15

]. H. Sherwood-The real estate condi-
tions in Omaha look better this spring than
for the last eight or nine years that l have
been in the Omaha real estate business.
Prospective investors are looking around.
Taxes are lower and this has a tendency to
increase prices. Money will seek invest
ment where expenses are lower.

FOOTBALL AT BATES
Seems to Be in Somewhat Discour-
aging Condition at Present.

Lewiston, Me, Nov. 3.-(SpeciaD.-
The very poor showing made by the
Bates Varsity, last Saturday, against
New Hampshire State College, when
the final score was to 6, has dscOur-
lged the most ardent Bates supporters
here. 1t was thought that Bates was
rlaying in Il crippled condition against
"olby, but as her team was even in
poorer shape, last Saturday, it is hard
TO find even a student who is confident
that Bates can make 4 creditable show
ing against the strong University Of
Maine team in the game at Bangor,
rex e Saturday.
Although the team is holding secret
practice every afternoon, one can see
that the coaches are doing their best
to strengthen the line, and many new
formation plays are being tried.
Moody, Bates '02, former football
'aptain, and present physical director
1t Drummer Academy. is with the team.
Mr.. Moody will devote his entire atten-
ion to the back field. "Parson" cut
ten, one of the staff Of the Yale coaches,
who was with the team two weeks ago,
came back, today, to help the line men
20 get in form, and Mr.. Murphy of
Lewiston, with several Bates graduates
was on the field today. inStruCting the
Varsity how TO play football.
The team itself has no chance to cry
"out of condition at the present time,
because all the menaare back i'm the
game with the exception of Libby. who
will be unable to play again. this year.
Quarterback Rounds has entirely re-
covered from the injuries he sustained
during the Colby game. and he is play
ing with his usual snap. Kendall was
in at halfback with Captain Reed, to-
day, and the heavy tackle. Conner. was
back in his old position beside Baldwin,
the guard.
Doyle and Cole will undoubtedly play
the ends against Maine. and Cutten is
in good condition TO play his steady
game ut center.
! 1t WAS given out after the practice.
today. that the Varsity scored three
! time in two short halves against the
second team. The Varsity fumbling.
| however, married an otherwise good
practice.

been coaching the football team of Pur-

in the train wreck in which several of

THE LAND INVESTIGATION.
Reports Exaggerated and Nothing Seri
ousIy Wrong Found.

Washington, Nov. Sin q statement
of the conduct of the investigation now
nearing completion. into the public land
frauds in the Pacific coast states, issued
by the interior department. Sec. Hitch
cock makes it clear the reports previ-
ously circulated have altogether eXag-
gerated the condition of affairs. The
statement says in part:
While several hundred thousand
acres of public land are involved in the
illegal transactions brought to light,
the number of acres to which patents
have been obtained by the perpetrators
of the frauds is comparatively small. 1t
is proper to say also that some of the
statements in regard to the matter
which have appeared in the newspapers
recently, both in the East and in the
West, are more or less exaggerated, and
others are mere Surmises.
The statements widely circulated to
the effect that five United states SEN
ators and Il large number of represent
atiVes were implicated and that the
lands involved would reach in value,
$15 zoe eco or $40. 100000, are without
foundation in fact. The details and re-
suits OF the investigation are known on
~ to a few and sensational stories
based upon statements which have
heretofore appeared in the press, must
be received with due allowance.
AT the proper time a full statement
will be made covering the results of the
entire investigation. and the whole
matter will be given to the public, but
for obvious reasons it is not deemed eX-
pedient that q detailed statement of the
facts should be given ut this time"
