Thair Feaks.
NEW HOUSES PROJECTED FOR SEASON
Early Construction Reports Indicate
that Another Year OF Home
Building il to he the
Omaha Record.

The acquisition by the Fraternal Order of
street and Capitol avenue, on which will
be erected a $4,000 clubhouse and fraternal
hall, proved an absorbing topic of interest
among real estate men as we'll as members
Of the Eagles. Many sites for the new
building were under consideration by the
executive committee of the Eagles, and Sc
lection from the different locations was
awaited with interest as we'll as anxiety.
But 1t is believed that the Doane corner
will prove an ideal location for the pur-
poses of the lodge, and 1t was bought for
fair price, $4,000, through the firm of
Rylander & Simonson, who had an option
on the property. The lot has frontage
Of eighty feet on Eighteenth street and
eighty-two feet on Capitol avenue, with a
strip of sixteen feet at the south end of
the lot. 1t was owned by Emily r. Doane,
wife OF Judge Doane. As soon as incor-
poration can be had and money paid In on
the stock by subscribing members of the
Eagles, active work will begin on the con-
struction OF a most complete clubhouse.
Bowling alleys, a gymnasium and other &C
cessories of a club will be features of the
fraternal home
The large vacant tract of land at the
northeast corner OF Thirty-third and Har-
ney streets has been sold by the Byron
Reed company to Ernest Sweet, who will
build seven two-story modern houses on
the tract for investment purposes The
property has a frontage of 1O6 feet on
Harvey street and was sold for $40 per
front foot. based on the Harvey street
frontage. Concrete will be used extensively
in the construction of three of the houses
to be built by Mr.. Sweet; the Easements
and first stories to be built OF rock faced
concrete blocks and the second stories to
be Of frame construction. The interiors
will be finished in oak and birch. The other
four houses will be two-story frames, but
of large dimensions and with hot water
heating plants.
Many new homes will be built this spring
In Kountze Place and contracts for their
erection are being let daily. This section
OF the city is rapidly increasing in popu-
larity among the builders OF modest homes
on account of it's accessibility and the high
and fine view afforded by its extreme ele-
walton. Among the residences In course of
erection at the present time is that of DR..
II. p, Hamilton on, Writ street between
Twentieth and Twenty-first streets. L. A.
Goldsmith is building a substantial and
modern home at the northwest corner OF
Sherman avenue and Spencer street and
Hastings Heyden are building a modern
house on Binney street between Sherman

Mickey and August Kirschstein on Writ

The Real Estate exchange has rejected
the plan of T.. A. Benson for a contest
among architects for the submission of
plans for a model cottage, with a purse of
$50 at stake. 1t was the plan of Mr.. Ben
son to have several hundred western archi-
tects submit plans to the exchange for
four, five and slx-room cottages, the winner
in each case to receive $50 and the exchange
to retain the winning set OF specifications.
1t was planned to have the money sub
scribed and, in fact nearly 500 was vol
unfairly pledged at the exchange meeting,
but the balance was not forthcoming, so
the question was laid over for further
consideration. The scheme has been sue
cessfully operated in many other cities
and would no doubt, have given the real
estate men and building trades operators
many new IDEAS. but its intrinsic value to
the exchange was questionable and the
plan was, therefore, abandoned.

The most important real estate transac-
ton OF the last week was the acquisition
by local syndicate, headed by the d. v.
Sholes company and the Payne Investment
company, of the Keystone farm Of w A.
Paxton, which adioins the town of Benson
on the west. The property contains SOP
acres, 400 of which is virgin soil, and was
bought for the reported price Of 1925 per
acre, which is deemed extremely low
cording to the price received for sales of
other acreage in that vicinity. 1t is planned
to exploit the tract as an addition for
suburban homes of the better class, the
whole farm to be cut up into tracts Of from
five to twenty acres and sold to actual
settlers. Boulevards will be made through
out the entire addition. which promises to
fill a long felt want in the way of real
choice suburban property. Grading was
begun Friday on part of the new site.

Startling Data Regarding immigration Given by Commissioner

Washington. Jan. THE fiscal year
ended June 80, 1906, produced a record
eclipsing all former figures on the sub
ject of immigration, according to the
annual report of Frank Sargent, the
commissioner general of immigration.
During that period, the report says,
the population of the United States
was increased by the admission of !, :
100.735 immigrant aliens, and 65,61S
nonimmigrant aliens entered at its
ports. making the total admissions 1 :

in the United States. There were
764 1868 males and 336,272 females.
The tendency of immigration during
the past few years to gather its steady
increase principally from the countries
of southern Europe is referred to.
Without exception. the report says, the

HARTMAN REVELATION
HURTS SUBSIDY BILL
Inquiry by Commerce Commission Les.
sens Chances of Favorable Action
on Measure.

Washington, d. c., Jan. THE in
terstate commerce commissions hear
ing in New York has had the effect of
lessening the chances of favorable ac-
tion upon the subsidy bill for the rea-
son that it is well known that E. H.
Hartman is largely interested in the
Pacific Steamship company, which
would be materially benefited by the
passage even of the Grosvenor COM
promise measure.
AS the situation stands, there is lit
tie prospect that favorable action will
be taken upon the measure as it was
passed by the senate last session or as
modified recently by Representative
Grosvenor, chairman of the committee
