REALTY SALES ARE
STILL GOING AHEAD
No Letup Has as Yet Been
Noted and None Is Ex-
pected in Omaha.

Real estate men everywhere are Civ
Ing careful consideration to the effect
Of the war on real estate values and
real estate business, with the general
sentiment being favorable TO a bright
outlook. A bulletin recently issued
from the offices of the National Asso-
eiation Of Real Estate Boards sets out
the following opinion:
Fundamentally. conditions were
never so favorable for good market
as they are now With this country
the creditor nation of the world, and
practically all other nations forced to
come here and buy, we have accum-
ulated an almost incredible amount OF
wealth, which must find channels for
investment. This will continue while
the war lasts, assuring condition no
less prosperous than we now enjoy:
and, after the war, the development of
our own property, wealth and re-
sources, which have temporarily given
way to outside demands, will keep in
dustry running full capacity to meet
requirement.
To Keep Building.
Possibly in some sections, owners
are holding off logical improvements,
in the hope that a cheaper market
might enable them to build more eco
nomically IN the future; but, when
loss Of earning capacity. in compari-
son with increase in cost of build
ing is made, the natural result will be
that builders will tire OF waiting; and
before long, no doubt, an added stim-
ulus to building, the like OF which as
a general proposition this country has
not seen in years, will begin.
1T is interesting to note that in
industrial sections, foreigners are in
vesting in real estate more havily than
ever befoEf. With the establishing Of
homes ahong the foreign population,
better citizens are made. and the
money they earn is not boarded, to
the same extent, to be sent across
the water to dependant relatives.
Once the foreigner owns his own
home, his dependents are brought to
this side"

Late Sales Reflect Good
Prices for Local Lots

Several deals have been closed in
the last week or will be closed that
indicate decided activity in property
between Sixteenth and 'Thirtieth
streets and at prices as high as any
which have been secured this spring.
Dne sale OF a property which has
been on the market at what was con-
sidered a top figure for the last sixty
days, is rumored and the facts con-
ccrning the sale are promised within
the next few days. The oil companies
continue to pay around $4,000 for ad-
vantageous corners or to make long
leases on the same basis. St. Mary's
avenue and Nineteenth street is the
latest corner thus promoted. The
property was sold to an investor and
twcnty-year lease Immediately Sc
cured to an oil company on very fa-'
vorable terms. This is the third oil
company to secure site in that vi
cinity in the last sixty days. The

Affected by War Times

A. P. Tukey & Son report the real

"A Zeppelin appeared over Swedish
territory on Friday morning near
Malmo and was driven away by the
fire of Swedish torpedo boats. The

are no higher and no lower. There
is little change also in the rental Of
houses. Contrary to the opinion Of
many, rents have not gone up. If
anything, rents on residence houses
are, perhaps, just triflc lower.
Apartments are still in great de-
nland. There is room in Omaha for
a good many more good apartment
houses. One OF the big problems the
apartment house man has to face now
is the coal question"

Bluejackets First.
The emergency American blue
jackets recruited here will bear
the brunt of the fighting that will
come. says Palmer.
Armed guards, composed only
of naval officers and American
bluejackets. are assigned to every
American ship that sails for the
war zone
1t is apparent today that the
government is bending all its
energy to bring the navy up to
full strength first of all. When
this is completed. attention will
be turned to the army.
THE immediate need Is for
bluejackets. and until the navy's
quota is filled you will spare no
effort to get recruits, as it is OF
first and most urgent import
ance," are Officer Strickland's in

After the navy's complement
is filled you will continue your
