Omaha daily bee., 1910-08-17

ital available for the small home
builder.
Essentially a Home City.
Omaha is especially inviting as
home city, because of the many pretty
building sites that abound on every
side. Omaha, in fact, is city of wide
areas and charming landscapes, and
the man of modest means may obtain
as fine a view for his home as though
he had millions, for nature made these
beauty spots, and man is the bene-
ficiary. In many cities all of the
pretty places are handmade. In
Omaha the condition is exactly re-
versed. OF course, the handiwork of
man is in evidence, but nature
wrought the greater part of the beau
tifying.
Getting back to the commercial side
of Omaha, when the figures have been
made along all of the different lines of
activity, comes as a climax to conclu-
sions, the bank clearing statistics. The
banks are the arteries Of commerce,
because, in a figuratiye sense, they
carry the very life blood of trade.
Omaha banks are among the strong
ones of the nation. Within the last
year one Omaha savings bank became
a national institution and has Just
moved into a magnificent sixteen-story
home of it's own, while another Omaha
bank within the same period has pur-
chased and is remodeling for its own
use a million-dollar building, formerly
known as the New York Life--one Of
the most ornate and substantial struc-
lures to be found in any western city.
Figures recently published in the daily
newspapers told the story of how the
bank clearings for the first seven
months of 1910 make the best show
ing ever recorded in Omaha's financial
history, and with several months of
1910 yet to come, indications make

Gradually, not with rush and
boom presaging early decay, but with
a steady, safe and sane growth, the
manufacturing scope of Omaha is en-
larging and each year sees additions
to the ranks of the dinner bucket
brigade. AS the vast and as yet some
what undeveloped country to the
northwest fills up with settlers-and
1t is filing rapidly-there will, as a
natural consequence, be an ever in
creasing demand for factory output,
and Omaha in time will doubtless be a
city of factories that will class up
alongside of eastern manufacturing
centers.
Corn Crib of the Nation.
The story of Omaha's supremacy as
a packing center and live stock mart
is a matter of worldwide circulation.
The vast packing houses and stock
yards have built up the city of South
Omaha, which. although a separate
municipality, divided from Omaha by
an imaginary boundary line, is in real
ity. so far as all practical purposes go,
a part of Omaha proper. Oficial fig
ures show that 5,458,125 head of live
stock were received in South Omaha
last year OF these over 100000
were hogs. In a numerical sense cat
tie came next, with 1,124.61s head
Naturally, being the center of the
richest agricultural region in the
world, Omaha is a first-class grain
market. Corn crib of the nation" ii
a nickname that has often been ap'
piled TO Omaha, and facts render thai
appellation most timely. for last year
there came to the Omaha markets
22.O59, 400 bushels of corn. Next il
the line Of grain came wheat, with {
Omaha daily bee., 1910-08-17

liminaries incident to the be-
ginning of actual construction. No
other midwest city has been given
greater recognition as railroad head
quarters, Omaha having the general
Offices of several roads. With office
forces, trainmen and shop employees
numerically strong enough to COM
prise a city OF itself exclusive of all
other population, Omaha's railroad
pay roll aggregates a large sum.
Omaha is really three cities moulded
into one, for so far as all practical pur-
poses are concerned Omaha, South
Omaha and Council Bluffs are one
great city. While these are separate
common bond Of interests, and in go
ing from one to the other the traveller
has no way of knowing when he
crossed the boundary line, except that
in going to Council Bluffs he is re-
minded by the Missouri river that he
is entering another city, so classed for
governmental purposes, in another
state. Then, besides South Omaha
and Council Bluffs, there are Benson,
Florence, Dundee, Bellevue, Crook
City and Ralston, each a promising
suburb-really a part of Omaha, but
each maintaining its own system of
government, and therefore being
counted separately in census enumera-
ton. II all of these were added to
Omaha's census rating a surprisingly
large showing would result, but under
existing conditions each of the eight
municipalities stands alone in census
figures

the 1909 volume of

While Omaha has
never from house
tops or other van
tage points pro-
claimed greatness
as a manufacturing
center, the fact re-
mains that the
showing in this line
is indeed gratifying.
The total factory
output for 1909 was

this $121,0O0,O00

safe the prophecy that 1910, taken In
the aggregate, will eclipse all other
years so far as total bank clearings are
concerned. The total clearings for the
whole OF 1909 were $735,225, 568. For
the year 1898 the clearings totalled
$297,443,37O, making a gain of 247
per cent in ten years. The year of
1909 showed an increase of $133, OO0,-
900 in total clearances over 1908. 1t
is estimated that bank clearings re-
veal about 70 per cent of business &C
tually transacted, consequently, &C
cording to this estimate-and it is
held good by accepted financial au-
horities-Omaha last year reached
the billion mark, for there is official
record OF $7S5,225,56S in clearings,
and II this figure represents 70 per
cent Of the whole volume It is a mat
ter of easy calculation to see where
the billion mark has been reached
Growth of Postoffice.
Another phase of Omaha growth
which is highly gratifying is the in
crease in volume of postofice business
not only an increase in dollars and
cents, but also a material improvement
in the organization for dispatch of the
mails. Omaha now has a strictly
modern postofice system, including
trolley cars for the collection of mail
from city boxes, and all else that goes
to make up the real metropolitan post
office. By way of illustrating the
rapid strides Omaha's postal business
is making consider the fact that the
total money order figures for 1903
reached the sum of $9,629,170.51, a
gain of s97S,283.S2 over the previous
year. In round numbers 100000
worth of stamps were sold during
1909, an increase of approximately
800, 900 over 1908. Surely a million
dollars worth OF postage stamps-and
it will be up to the million mark
Omaha daily bee., 1910-08-17
Quality Ranks High.

Another distinguishing feature of
Omaha is the fact that there is less OF
city riff-raff, less of the slum element,
less of all that goes to make up unde-
sirable citizenship than in any other
American city Of equal size. In Ne

year.
The milling business, yet in it's in
fancy. in Omaha, made phenomenal
figures shall have been gathered in it
is believed that last years record will,
in the light of comparison, seem small.
Omaha's realty market is solid.
Conservative values are the rule, and
there is no place in Omaha for the
boomer who would initiate values.
Omaha is not bubble town. and never
has been such. 1t is a safe guess that
if a given piece Of property can be sold
today for $4,000 1t will bring a little
more than $4,000 next year. The
year of 1909 brought real estate trans
fers aggregating $12,360. 1000, and the
increase in value of business property
ranged from rs to so per cent over
the previous year.
Building is Normal,
There is no building boom in
Omaha, yet there is not an idle car
penter or bricklayer or stone mason in
the city, unless perchanee 1t be OF
choice. Building permits for 1909 to-
tailed $7,3O0.OOO, an increase OF
