The house illustrated this week is
one that is well adapted to the needs
of a family of any size as the rooms
are amply large to meet almost any
requirement.. A small vestibule porch
leads to the main reception hall, the
main porch being off the living room
on the south side of the house. The
main rooms, living room and dining
room open off of the hall with large
cased and pedestal openings. The
architect has not forgotten the cloak
closet near the front of the house off
the hall, nor has he wasted money in
the cost of two separate stairs to the
second floor. The kitchen is directly
off the dining room, in the rear of the
house and has everything that a
housekeeper wants in the way Of built
in cupboards and sink with ice room
and broom closets handy. On the
second floor there are three large bed
rooms as are plainly seen from the
plan, we'll supplied with ample space
and handily arranged to the bath. A
large sleeping porch is built over the
projection in the rear of the first
floor. Any one desiring further in
formation relative to the cost of this
house or the designing Of new home
should get in touch with the architect
who will be glad to render his serv-
ices. Everett S. Dodge, Architect,

SMITH BRICK YARD
SOON TO Be MOVED
Will 90 Several Blocks South
east With Materials and
Factory is Announcement.
NEW INDUSTRY ON SITE

The Smith Brick company, now To-
Gated about Twenty-third and Wool
worth avenue, is soon to move its
plant three blocks from the present
location, principally south, to TWEEN
ty-6rst and Dorcas, where the COM
-pany has acquired some ground for
the location of the plant.
For some years there has been
agitation in the neighborhood among
the improvement clubs to induce the
Smiths to move the yard, as the i'm
provers held the yard to be a nuis-
ance to the neighborhood as a resi-
dence community. The Smiths stead
lastly held that they could not be
compelled to move, and now that the
agitation has more or less died out
they have quietly slipped out and
bought new ground, upon which they
will move the plant.
The new location is Just south OF
the Union Pacific and Burlington
tracks, while the present plant is
nOftn OF the traCKS.
More Agitation Expected.
Now that the Smith company is
to move out, the improvement clubs
will have other troubles with which
to concern themselves. The mere
moving of the brick yard, with its
sticky yellow clay and its smudgy
smokestacks, will not mean that hand
some residences will spring up in
its place in a moments notice, for
while the improvement clubs have
not brought up the subject for some
weeks, and perhaps months. the Com
mercial club is even now figuring hard
on what is the best kind of factory
to locate on this ground so soon to
be vacated.
This will furnish very desirable
location for several manufacturing
concerns" says an article in the Com
mercial Club Journal, the weekly in
formant and bulletin of that club.
There is here a fifteen-acre tract.
The clubs official organ then con-
tinues to point out the advantages
of the location for factories, showing
that it is situated along the tracks
where railroad sidings would be easy
to get, and with the Twenty-fourth
street line running along one side of
the property.
A bristle and wire brush factory, a
desk and Office furniture factory and
tractor factory are among the
projects the clubs industrial depart
ment is talking of as possible plans
for this location.

FARNAM STREET
PROPERTY ACTIVE
Many Sales at Record Prices
Have Been Announced in
Last Few Days.
LONG LEASE NEW FEATURE

Farnam street property has never
shown much greater period of ac-
tivity than it has shown during the
last two weeks, and real estate men
feel that the spring realty activities
are showing remarkable spurts, par
ticuiarly in Farnam street deals.
Among the more recent is the sale
of the Eastus Young property at
Thirty-third and Farnam streets, and
the sale of the Wilkie Mitchell corner
at Fortieth and Farnam.
By paying $50 a front foot for the
sixty-six feet at Fortieth and Farnam
streets, N. P. Dodge set a new record
Of western Farnam street values.
Hitherto, the best informed real es-
tate men in the city say, no such
prices have been paid for Farnam
property that far out.
Again the payment of $4,000 for
the Young property at Thirty-third
and Farnam streets by David Cole
marks handsome Farnam street
sale Just CLOSED. This property is
1o5x182. This ground is vacant. The
lot has 195-foot Farnam front fac
ing north, and i82-foot Thirty-third
street front facing cast.
Many Other Sales.
These are only few of the sales
that have come to light within twen-
ty-fpur hours, while within the last
ten days a whole flock of important
Farnam street sales have been made.
The lease Of the Joseph Hayden home
on long term contract to Joseph
Barker was an important Farnam
deal, and marked something rather
new in Omaha property deals in be-
ginning the long-term lease activities
on residence property.
Then came the transaction in which
Myles Standish leased the Richard
Hall residence, adjoining the Hayden
property. Again a long-term lease on
residence property was made.
DR.. Holovtchiner followed close by
purchasing the Frank Burnley prop
erty, a row Of brick fats at Twenty
fifth avenue on the south side Of Far
nam, with a sixty-foot Farnam front.

DETAILS HISTORY
OF MINNIE LUSA
Charles Martin Tells of Some
Work Involved in Plating
Addition to Omaha.
MUCH MONEY EXPENDED

The ground comprising Mime
Lusa addition to Omaha was first
granted by the government to Han
nah Lambert, widow of revolution
airy soldier. and to Paul Stickney, a
veteran OF the war OF 1872, under the
military land grant act. This is a
bit of history disclosed by Charles
w. Martin, who plated the addition,
in his talk to the Omaha Real Estate
board last Wednesday noon.
Hannah Lambert assigned her war
rant to John A. Hall and Paul Stick
uey assigned his to A. B. Malcolm,
and the Florence Land company
bought the two quarters from Hall
and Malcolm. These things happened
back in the fifties.
The Florence company then Dor.
rowed money and mortgaged the
land. The mortgage was foreclosed
and the court ruled the defendants
should pay principal and interest at
the rate of 40 per cent, which OF
course they were unable to do. The
property was sold under the hammer
and bought by James Monroe Parker
for $l,o7704.
Another Foreclosure Suit.
Another foreclosure followed in
1857 on the other quarter and Parker
again bought this.
"Mr. Parker was far-seeing," said
Mr.. Martin in his review of the his
tory of the land, "as he seemed to
anticipate the coming of a man who
would want to buy this ground on
easy terms, for in his will he gives
to his trustees power to sell and con-
vey the full and absolute title and
also empowered them to receive in
payment for such conveyance such
reasonable payment as may in their
Judgment be sufficient to secure the
ultimate payment of all the purchase
money and to take notes secured by
mortgages upon the property for the
balance of the purchase money, pay
able at such times and in such INSTALL
ments and at such rates OF interest
as they may deem best. etc"
1eub OF f1lS OWn WoGks
Mr.. Martin reviewed his toll and
troubles in connection with the pur-
chase, plating, grading and service
in developing the addition. He
showed that where he had figured on
spending $4,000 for grading he. ac-
tuaily wound up by spending $24,650.
He reviewed the session with the
city engineer, who was willing to
complete a big storm sewer through
the addition, only to find that there
were at the time no funds with which
to do it. He went over the history
Of the contract whereby he got twelve
miles of cement sidewalks laid and
showed how he got sanitary sewers
at cost to him Of $20,950. He said
he got the gas company to install
five miles of gas mains at cost Of
approximately $4,000.
The speaker traced the work of in
Sailing the electric light and tele-
phone systems and how the Metro
politan. Water district created water
districts for each lot and assessed the
cost to the property at the rate Of
50 cents a front foot with an addi-
tional cost to Martin of $l,856. He
traced through the development of
the lighting systems and the various
services and improvements that led
many real estate men to remark at
the close that Martins talk was one
Of the most interesting and instruc-
tive that the board had ever heard
from one Of its fellow members.
