One of the first things which the resi-
dents did wher II was proposed TO develop
the southwest suburb. was to organize the
Lincoln Averue Improvement club, which
was done Friday evening and fifty-three
charter members enrolled. The first de-
mand made by the club was to have the
pavement repaired on Lincoln avenue
Long neglect and heavy rains Of this spring
have made the avenue dangerous and the
property owners OF the Lincoln avenue dis
trict have not been backward in scoring
the city's policy Of neglect. A committee
was appointed to interview the city engl-
neer and see If the work could not be dom
before rains do more damage.
Another evidence Of the determination t.
open an era of improvement in the Lincoln
avenue district was the passing Of a petit
ton the last week to secure customers fOl
electric lights in sufficient number to have
wires stretched to the farthest point, The
Omaha Electric Light and Power com
pany asked TO have at least five customers
sign up for the service and the Lincoln.
avenue property owners secured fifteen at
a starter. Besides this weeds are to bt
moved on Lincoln avenue and in the Am
bier places, without the aid Of the polio,
force or Mayor Dahlman, and those who
own property in the district may look fOl
an Increase If the work Of the new clut
keeps up.

TIMELY REAL ESTATE TALK
East and West Amber Coming
to the Front Once
More.

After a good many years Of quiet in the
vicinity Of East and West Amber places,
and a long period during which only a
minimum amount OF improvement has been
made near Lincoln avenue in the southwest
part Of the city, a revival of interest
promises to make the Amber places what
they were planned to be many years ago
model suburban residence districts. The
best evidence that southwest Omaha is Ia
receive more attention and that values are
sure to increase in the section, is that
il is q property owners movement and not
a boom started by an agent. Only two
houses in West Amber place are not owned
by the occupants, a fact which cannot be
applied to many suburbs of Omaha.

SWAMP LANDS.
Their Drainage the Subject of z
Speech by Mr. w. J. Bryan.
observed

In an address before the
National Drainage Congress
which met in Washington
Tuesday for three days ses-
sion, William Jennings Bryan
said he was heartily in sympa-
thy with the movement for the
reclamation of swamp lands of
the country.
II have no doubt whatever of
the practicabilitv, the feasibility
and the righteousness of the
drainage of our swamps," said
Mr.. Bryan. l have no more
doubt that the swamps ought to
be drained aud brought under
cultivation than have that the
arid lands ought to be watered
and brought under cultivation.
| know of no general rule that
would not justify the one that
would not justify the other, "
Mr.. Bryan expressed the opin-
ion that the bringing Of the
swamp lands of the country
into cultivation would mean a
wonderful addition to the
wealth of those sections and the
wealth of the country at large.
He said he realized that there
are apt to be differences of
opinion as to the plan by which
the swamps are ODE reclaimed
Some of these differences, he
said, are due to differences in
! the construction of the consti-
tuition. But continued the
speaker, 81 am a great believ
er i'll the possibility of har-
monizing differences by dis
cussion. [ am sure that in
this case there are no differen-
ces that may not be harmon
lied. | believe that the differ.
ences of opinion in regard tc
the sphere Of the States anC
the sphere of the Nation car
be harmonized, and especially
is this true if the plan is sucI
} that it can be self supporting
plan. am satisfied that where
ever there is State land tina
ought to be included in the Ma
tional plan the people of Thu
State will express their willing
ness Of corporation in such 4;
way that it can be done withou
violating the wishes of the PEG
