GOOD OUTLOOK
FOR BUSINESS
HERE DURING 10
Gillian Says There Will Be an
Immense Amount of Build
ing Put Under Way
Soon.

In speaking of the outlook for the
year 1919 On industrial conditions
in Omaha, J. M. Gillian of the In
dustrial committee OF the Chamber
of Commerce said: "The outlook
for the coming year is extremely
good. The forebodings that existed
few months ago about the things
that were going to happen when the
war closed, strikes, labor unrest,
high priced money, etc, while we
have had little of this condition
of affairs, it is not to be compared
with what was predicted, and on the
other hand there is demand for
merchandise that it seems almost
impossible to fill.
Notwithstanding the fact that all
kinds of building material will be
high, there is going to be an i'm
mense amount of building during the
coming year. What is needed par
ticularly is factory buildings, stor-
age buildings, and an industrial ter
minal building, and the industrial
development of East Omaha.
To Visit Plants.
"The industrial committee this
year will also inaugurate campaign
of visitation by the members of the
Chamber of Commerce to the lead
ing industrial plants in the city.
There is nothing that does a bus
mess man more good than having

Omaha, not the automobile"
"'The driver, Sure it's made in
Omaha by the Douglas Motor COM
pany. | am president of the COM
pany. Come up some day and visit
our factory and he pushed the
button on the self-starter and sped
away, leaving Mr.. Banker admir;ng

May Use Suction Drainage
i5 to Fill Winspear Triangle

City Commissioner FOWL has re-
turned from Des Moines where he
went to inspect methods of filling
low ground along the river. He
found method which he intends to
put into effect to fill in the Winspear
triangle, city property along the
river, east of the Union Pacific
shops.
II found that the suction dredge
system works splendidly at Des
Moines," he said, land | believe we
can fill in 100 acres of low land in
GLIDING the Winspear triangle at
cost Of from $4,000 to $4,000 by this
method"
At present rubbish is being dump
ed on the triangle to fill it up. 1t
needs a fill of about five feet to
make if suitable for warehouses,
docks, etc, which it is proposed to
build there.
Sand fills in rapidly along the
river edge and this will be one OF
the problems to be overcome.

WHAT is NEEDED

A good many people are becoming weary of the perpetual
.parroting of such phrases as Goal will win the war" Food
will win the war" "Aeropalnes will win the war" "Shps will
win the war" "il will win the war" Clothes will win the
war" etc, etc, the subject in each instance being dictated by
the interest the declaimer has in it. 1t may be broadly stated
that these declarations are all of them true and none of them
true.
Rather let it be said, therefore, that the war will be won
by the genius to mobilize, coordinate and apply all of these
things-by what we commonly call efficiency. 1t will be won
by that efficiency which Germany has shown to a marked de-
gree from the beginning and which England and France are
showing to even a greater degree in that they have developed
their war efficiency since the war began and under the most
irving circumstances. This efficiency the United States
has not yet shown and our record is anything but
.creditable. To be sure, there have been flashes suggest
i've of the real genius of our people, but in the great
things we have failed. We have not delivered the food we
promised, the ships we promised or the aeroplanes we prom
ised. In the great essentials we have sadly fallen down, and
it is high time that we awakened to a realization of that fact.
We are still Of Mr.. Bakers notion that the war is 1000 miles
away and cannot hurt u.s." Our national spirit seems stepped
in the lethal sentiment of that vulgar phrase, w should
worry"
