London, May 1.-Serious rioting has

Omaha can point with pride to the
volume of It's real estate transactions and

markable year considering all the retard-
ing influences OF a general depression

We have not been more fortunate than

vet We found IL necessary to add to our
force and to our office space during the

siderable percentage of the increase in
our business can be directly credited to
transactions with new arrivals in Omaha,
individuals and business firms who have
permanently located in the city this last
year.
While houses built during 1914 were
largely erected by owners for themselves.

OMAHA LOOKS INVITING NOW

''Fhe more we see of other cities and
other sections of the country, the more
substantial and inviting Omaha and It's

deFs company.
1T Is not necessary TO make odlous
comparisons. Men with analytical minds
and with power to see things yet to DO
are compelled TO view Omaha with
stout heart and willing hands.
As much pride as we are justified In
taking over the city's progress and for
IT'S opportunity yet to grow, be II said
that Omaha in material advancement Is
twenty years behind It's tributary country.
Herein lies our necessity for further ex-
pansion. Omaha must respond to the
call OF the country. Before Omaha can
catch up and be on an equality with its
supporting territory, big things must be
done. Practically every building on Far
nam, from Tenth to Twenty-sixth street.

All Business Interests Are TO share
I'm the Prosperity,
From all appearances the year 1915
will bring TO Omaha real estate dealers
unusual activities. said e. 7. Carlberg
Situated as we are in the most won
derful granary of the world, the unset
tied agricultural conditions and chaos
now existing in Europe will bring to the
farmers of the middle west better prices
for what they produce. the surplus from
which sales will flow TO those cities
where their crops are marketed, pro-

Nelopmonts. A market thus created for
desirable securities will facilitate tho
buying of homes by present tenants, in
creasing the homecoming, and decreas-
ing the tenant class, a condition which

share in the prosperity as farmers with
grain in their bins, hogs in their pens,

banks will show no hesitation I'm supply
ing them with all tho necessities as we'll

1.-THE problem tina: confronts US is how
to get outside products here in exchange
for grain and cattle as cheaply as cities
with water transportation. with which
we must compete. We need river navi-
cation, and must inaugurate an effective
campaign to get 1t, and thus share in
the profits created by the building of the
Panama canal. We must create condi-
tons that will bring barges and steamers
to our water front and make our wharfs
the commercial mart OF the central west.
In this let us not be backward. but let
us be earnest and aggressive; by q
steady pull and concentrated effort ac-
complish our desire to place Omaha on
the water front We can thus Increase
our transportation facilities so as to
make ourselves one of the most important
