REAL ESTATE VALUES HIGHER
Increase on Property Down Town is
More Than Hundred Per Cent.
ASSESSOR sHRIvER GETS BUSY
Clifford Property at seventeenth and
Douglas, Recently Sold, IncresSe"
in -Four Years from
$4,000 to S1O5,OOO.

Real estate values in the business district
of Omaha have increased from 30 TO 100
per cent and in some cases probably more
since 1905, according to figures secured by
County Assessor w. G. Shriver In prepara-
ton for revaluation of real estate for the
1912 assessment. The average increase OF
realty values in the business district prob
ably will be somewhere between 80 and 100
per cent The average increase in realty
values in the entire city will' be at least
Is per cent, MIR. Shriver said Friday.
Realty valuations are revised only once
in four years. THE valuation on the prop
erty where the City National bank build
ing now stands, southeast corner Sixteenth
and Harney streets, was s105,O00 in 1908, y
said Mr.. Shriver, "but when II was wanted
for the building 1t was sold for S275,OOo, an
increase OF considerably more than 100 per
cent. THE clifford property, northwest
corner Seventeenth and Douglas streets,
was valued at $4,000 for assessment in 1905.
Since then 1t has sold for $4,000 and just
the other day, according to reliable report,
It was sold to the Boston Ground Rent
company for sl05Ooo. There is an increase
of more than 800 per cent
"The property occupied by the Boston
lunch room on Farnam street, Just east OF
the Omaha National bank building, was
valued at $4,000 by the assessor in 1908
Since then it has been sold to the Brandeis
for $4,000 and l am informed that they
have had offers of 100000 for it.
Smaller Property Goes Up.
Charles Gruening has paid S25.OOO for a
lot on the south side of Harney street, op-
posite the Krug theater, improved with a
livery stable, that was valued at $1,000 in
1908.
Anna Weinberg not long ago paid
Chauncey stoddard $1,000 for lot on the
north side of Douglas just east OF the
corner OF Eleventh street, that was valued
at $500 in 1903.
'In the north part of the oity there are
all kinds of lots that are selling and for
some time have sold for $500 to $1,000 that
were valued at $50 when the last realty
valuations were made"
Though the actual fixing Of values In
realty will not be begun until next spring,
the assessor and his staff Of assistants will
be busy gathering data the rest of the
summer and through the autumn and
winter.
The assessors office has sent out letters
to Omaha business men and realty dealers
requesting their opinions as to enhance
ment OF values regarding many properties.
More of these letters regarding other prop
critics will be sent out from time to time.
The assessor will not rely entirely upon
the information thus obtained, but will use
1t in conjunction with data secured by
other methods in arriving at his con-
clusions.
The total realty valuation OF Omaha, &C
cordinG to the last figures, is 81, ,Sl4,4 Al.

REPUBLICANS GALL IN PAIRS

Formal Notice to Democrats They
Do Not Apply to Tariff Bills.
WASHINGTON. Aug. IL - Republican
Leader Mann gave formal notice IN tho
house today that republican members
would ask for cancellation OF an pairs so
far as votes on vetoed measures were
concerned. Mr.. Mann explained that he ex-
pected the president to veto whatever tariff
bills were sent to him and that every re-
publican in the house would be needed
Representative Ferris of Oklahoma asked
whether it was meant that existing pairs
were to be repudiated.
Mr. Mann replied that as to votes on
vetoed measures, paired republicans prac-
ticaliy would give two votes for one and
therefore all republicans would be asked
to cancel their pairs. Speaker Clark
stopped the discussion by announcing that
the house has nothing to DO with this
pair business"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE full house
and senate conference committee on the
wool tariff revision bill today agreed on a
flat rate of % per cent on raw wool. The
committee also agreed on the house clsssi-
fcation of wool. The agreement on these
two points seemed to remove the greatest
obstacle in the way of final agreement
As agreed on the classification provision
of the bill reads:
"On wool of the sheep, hair of the camel,
goat alpaca and other like animals and all
woods and hair on the skin or such animals
the duty shall be 20 per cent ad valorem."
The La Toilette bill called for two classes
Of wool-wool and hair on the skin being in
a second class, whereas the house provi-
sion accepted by the conference provides
for but one class for all woods.
Under the compromise the second senate
class of wools, fixed in the senate bill at 10
per cent is thus increased to 20 per cent.
These are the coarse or carpet woods. The
senate rate on first-class woods was S5 per
cent and the house rate 20 per cent.
In the beginning of the conference Mr..
La Toilette urged 30 per cent on ordinary
raw wool. Mr.. Underwood would not con-
sent to a higher duty than 2TA per cent.
Ultimately Mr.. Bailey suggested a oompro-
mise of 2S% per cent. Mr.. Underwood said
he would accept 20 per cent IL the house
classification should prevail, Mr.. La Fol-
lette agreed to this.
In the absence of Senator Penrose, Sem
ator Cullom presided and for the first
time in history the conference was, on
motion Of Senator Bailey, opened to the
press.
Continuing its work, the conference fixed
the rate on wool wastes. nails and shoddies
at 20 per cent to correspond with the rate
on regular wastes. This was an increase
over the house rate which was 20 per cent.
1t was also a practical increase over the
senate rates, which ranged from Is to 90
per cent, but the change was made to meet
a suggestion of Mr.. Underwood that a rate
lower than that fixed on wool itself would
result in flooding the country with wastes.
At this point a recess was taken until
2:15 p. m.
Today's action is expected to effect ear
lier adjournment
President Taft has indicated that he
would veto any bill growing out of the
conference.
