REAL ESTATE MEN
EXPECT BUSY FALL
Demand for Western Farm
Lands Is Good and Inclina-
tion to Buy Is on the
Increase.

The real estate market in Omaha
has been quiet during August, as is
usually the case at this season OF the
year. This is also the condition over
the country. Here plans are being
laid for a busy fall and a number OF
new buildings OF importance are con-
templated. The splendid crop pros
poets again turn the attention OF in
vestors to farm lands and more pros
poets are in view for purchases of
cheap lands. particularly in western
Nebraska and eastern Colorado than
for the last five or six years. Ample
rains in the west good crops and the
fact that the pioneers are making
money and living happily and COM
fortably while they are doing it, is a
call 10 other heads OF families to
gather up their boys and go west,
where they can have more room.
Within a week a prominent reaItor
OF Omaha. while out in Douglas
county. met a number OF such cases,
of which one that he quotes is fair
sample. This farmer on 100 acres,
with splendid improvements, comfor-
table and we'll fixed in every way, ex-
pressed Willingness to sell his place
for around $500 an acre and 60 to
western Nebraska, where he could
get at least section. or possibly two,
and give his four boys ample to do
and so keep them at home. The
small men Of the state have also the
same thing in mind

PLAN BUILDINGS
ON OLD PLATEAU
Old Residence Section Fast
Giving Way to the Encroach-
ments of the Business
District.

The northeast and the northwest
corners OF Eighteenth and Davenport
streets are to have buildings anywhere
from two TO six stories high, and the
corner Of Eighteenth and Capitol ave.
nue. is also to see some development.
The Home Builders company has
long-term leases on this ground and
Porter & Shotwell are negotiating
some deals for the erection OF build
ings there soon.
At Eighteenth and Dodge streets, it
is hinted, big building is also in
prospect, since the promoters feel rea-
sonably sure that the grading OF
Dodge street is row soon to be ac-
complished.
The movement toward the plateau
long given over 20 residences and the
comfortable homes OF the moderate
home owner which skirts the old
Capitol hill, where for many years
dwelt the aristocracy OF the city, is
becoming more clearly defined each
month and the buildings noted fixed
the movement more certainly.
Even Cunning street has felt the
pulsations OF the movement The
south side of thai historic old thor.
oughfare between Twenty-ffth and
Twenty-sixth, which has not for a
good many years been very produc-
tive, has recently been bought up by
a leading real estate company, al.
though the purpose is being kept very
secret. No one has ever yet given
any good reason why Cunning street
should not vie with Leavenworth and
other streets in prosperity and growth

OMAHA'S BUILDING
RECORD Is FINE
Shows an Increased Program
for July, Whereas Average
for the Country Shows
a Loss.

Omaha started II per cent larger
building program in July, 1917, than
in July, 1916, despite the fact that the
average of 1l6 cities for that month
shows loss of 4o per cent over the
previous July.
In Omaha l02 building permits
were taken out in July, 1917, totaling
a valuation OF $656,250.
Kansas City fell behind its 1916
July record in building by 6 per cent.
Lincoln fell behind by S. per cent.
Sioux City fell behind by 9 per cent.
St. Louis fell behind by IL per cent.
Manhattan Behind.
The average slump of 49 per cent
in the ll6 cities is said by the Amer
ican Contractor to be due largely to
the situation in Manhattan, New
York City, which totals for July this
year only Sl,S94,095, against $49, 9,205,-
220 for July last year. The total Of
Manhattan for July, 1915, was S4,S4s,-
303. The coming law of New York
City went into effect little more
than a year ago. 1t imposed severe
restrictions upon the construction OF
large office buildings.
To evadc the conditions of the law,
building permits were sought and
obtained just before the law became
effective for a large number Of spec
ulative enterprises, which have never
materialized and many of which had
very slight chance of ever material
izing. Placing the Manhattan totals
at those of two years Ego, which may
be regarded as normal, the loss OF 49
per cent in the July statements
shrinks to only about II per cent,
which is quite another story, though
it does not entirely eliminate the
loss. However, it woull be a better
statement than that for June, which
showed loss of Sc per cent, and bet
ter than that for May, which recorded
loss of 81 per cent. Compared with
May and Jane, the July figures may
be accepted as distinctly favorable.

Rental Situation Problem
For Owners of Buildings

Realtors are discussing the rental
situation as influenced by the present
changed and unusual conditions. A
leading rental agent of st. Paul voices
the sentiment OF landlords in that city
when he told reporter that tenants
will not be asked for an increase of
rent unless they insist on too many
Improvements and decorations.
"Where a house or fiat is occupied
and the tenant remains, it is not like
ly that any higher rent will be de-
manded." He stated that there is, as
in most cities, great demand for
fats and apartments.
On the other hand, rental agents
Omaha daily bee., 1917-08-12

have met with the greatly increased
cost OF all materials necessary for
decorating and repairing and in the
case of fats the cost of heat is most
serious question, and the conclusion
is logical that rents ought to be in
creased as we'll as every other factor
in the high cost of living.
One OF the practical conferences in
the recent convention OF real estate
boards in Milwaukee was that on
leases and rentals, in which interest
ing points were brought out as fol-
lows:
In Ohio all building leases have
been cancelled on account of the coal
conditions and leases are made for
five months in summer and seven
winter months. In Iowa rents have
Omaha daily bee., 1917-08-12

been increased S. month. Kansas
City has successfully experimental
with the problem of securing prompt
payment of rents by adding IS to
the amount of the rent agreed upon
and if payment is made on or before
the fifth OF the month, rebate of S.
is allowed. A delegate from that city
stated that in case of three-year
lease four months rent was charged
in advance and, therefore, the last
four months OF the lease came free.
In this way the landlords are sure OF
their money.

Never Before Has Power Boosting
Victory Sought Peace Farley.
New York, Jan. ! How did great
wars end? Have peace offers such as
President Wilson's usually borne
fruit? Did an undefeated warning
power like Germany ever before hold
uut the olive branch to the enemy?
These are questions of intense in
terest to humanity today. Their an
swers have Il direct bearing on the
topic uppermost in almost every
mind how soon the awful holocaust Of
Eerope's best and bravest will cease.
History does not disclose any ex-
act parallel to Germany's course-at
least in modern times. A belliGercnt:
Loastinm herself victorious, has new
err before requested her advcrsaries
to meet hcr and discuss possible
terms Of peace.
Moreover. President Wilson's Offer
Of mediation faces the fact that rare
~ have nations availed themselves
Of such an opportunity. The United
States may nos become the great
reacemai;er and the central powers.
but it will be almost the first time
such situation has developed.
Many times, indeed, in almost every
war, Il beaten foe has requested peace
parIcys through neutral. Such an
act is usually rightly taken as a con-
fcssion Of defeat. In OUT last war, the
conflict with Spain, the Madrid gov
ernment OF July 26, 1898, realizing
that further struggle was f1u;tless,
made nverturcs to the United States
through Jules CamboG, who "os then
