Capital 100000.

1.-The company will have a capital of
probably 100000. This capitalization, it
is thought. will be sufficiently large to
warrant the company in underwriting
$50 200, 900 bonds.
The new company will not concern it
self with residential property, but will
devote itself exclusively to facilitating the
erecting of steel structures. Its policy
will be to make loans to the amount of
80 per cent of the combined value of the
land and the proposed building, taking
mortgages on both The mortgages will
bear 8, or s per cent interest. The new
corporation, according to ideas of its
projectors, is TO be an expedient for
meeting q present need, and not perma-
nent institution, and its life may not ex-
coed that of the last issue OF its bonds.
The directors will be principally New

Pacific railroad systems, who returned
from San Francisco yesterday was Wis
tied today by Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw and Morris X. Jessup president of

Mr.. Hartman later said that no plans

could any definite methods be arrived at
until the people of San Francisco-its
merchants ana professional men-reach an
acceptable basis for further financial re-
lief.
San Francisco will hold it's business, .
said Mr.. Hartman. Its merchants are
behaving like men. They have not yet

Speaking of existing financial conditions
in San Francisco, Mr.. Hartman said:
1.-The banks are in good condition. The
thing most needed there is labor In fact
that is the most necessary thing through
out the state at this time, as the crops
are soon to be harvested. The bankers of
San Francisco and California generally
appreciate the fact that the more money

centers the more assistance the people
will receive"

Business" might be the title of a COLO
borated article by four realty men of
Omaha, who use their machines to take
their customers to see property. The buzz
wagon is getting to be factor in COM
mercial life in a great many ways, and
the real estate men are not slow to recog-
nlze It's value In their business. 1t dis

to see half a dozen pieces of land or
houses as quickly with the automobile
as he could show him one by using a
buggy 1t is a great time saver; and
then 1t has another advantage, the custo-
mer moves about so rapidly from place
to place that he does not become tired and

the business.

for the Cause,

The Omaha lodge Of Elks having secured
the lot at the northwest corner Of Seven
teenth and jackson streets some few weeks
ago, has taken the initiatory steps toward
a building fund. The actual start in this
direction was made last fall when w. A.
Rourke, president Of the Omaha Base Ball
club, and devoted member Of the Omaha
Eks lodge, became impatient after ell the
talk that had been had about building for
the Omaha lodge. that nothing tangible had
resulted therefrom, and at n large gathering
in the club parlors, while viewing the Ak
sar-Ben electrical parade last October, he
insisted that something should be done at
once towards providing an Elks' home in
Omaha He said that he would start q
subscription paper for $500 for himself per-
sonally and his friend, George Barnes, also
an Elk. who was standing near him. re-
marked that he would give a like amount.
Mr.. Rourke further stated that he would
donate the entire gate receipts of a cham
pionship league game during the season
OF 1906 toward the building fund, and he
promised at the time n the Omaha E1l0a
would take hold of the proposition with
the same spirit and energy that had eharao.
terized pervious work by them along the
same lines, the game would net at least
$1,000
The matter was reported 20 the Omaha

all the details Of the game. They had Q
conference with Mr.. Rourke and It was de
cided that the game OF June Z, in the Lin,
coin series, should be devoted 20 the pur
pose named. Both clubs have volunteered
their services for this occasion. The tickets
have just been issued and win be on sale
at regular prices at prominent business
places from now on until the game takes
place. These tickets are In the form OF
