LOOK FOR MUCH
| BUILDING HERE
IN Near FUTURE
'1u
Real Estate Men Say There
Is Big Demand for Small
= Houses; Material Will
Remain High.

A constantly growing demand for
residences and apartment houses in
Omaha, and a general belief among
real estame men and builders that
construction prices will not go down
for considerable time, causes real
tors aud others to believe that build
ing will open up on large scale
in'Omaha early in 1919. .-
Il think every rental concern in
Omaha has a large waiting list for
apartments and residences" Byron
X. Hastings. head Of a concern that
docs big rental business. said Sat
surday. -. ,.
THE demands especially strong
for five or six-room cottages and
bungalows, and for apartments. And
there are practically none for rent.
I'VE have several letters from
families outside OF Omaha, wanting
to come here to live. They want
to rent something, and there's
nothing to rent. e.
1T means they've got to buy or
build, and | think that's Just what
they will do. To buy or build is
about the only way one can get a
residence in Omaha al present"
High Prices Will Continue.
The present high cost of building
material ard labor, which in large
measure put a stop to tuilding of all
kinds during the war, is going to
continue for three Of four, or possib-
ly five years, in the opinion of Oma-
ha men who have investigated the
situation.
/ Charles c. George, president of
the Chamber of Commerce, and one
of the Omaha committee that at
tended the war emergency and re-
] construction congress in Atlantic
City few days ago, has informed
Omaha realtors that he does not be-
lieve prices will drop for a few
years.
Five thousand men, representing
al lines OF business" Mr.. George
said, ATTENDED that congress, and
The opinion was almost unanimous
that construction prices are not 60
ing to drop. So
IAN immense amount of building
TO be done in this country, and the
vast reconstruction problems in
Europe, will create bigger de-
mand for building material and labor
than this country has ever exper-
fenced in peace times.
There was general feeling
among the 5000 men in the recon-
struction congress, that the man who
waits until prices come down be-
fore he builds, will lose money by
rents he will be forced to pay while
waiting for building prices to drop.
A big manufacturer, who does
not deal in building material, said
that he expects to advise every man
who contemplates building, to go
ahead. He said the man who waits
will be the loser.
This feeling is general among
Omaha real estate men.
s Mr.. George said the question that
Impressed the war congress dele
gates most, was that of the relation
of employer and employee
Must Cooperate.
The attitude taken by the three
principal speakers. Harry M.
Wheeler, Charles M. Schwab. and
John Dr. Rockefeller, jr., was that
both employer and employee have a
responsibility to the community,
and that they must cooperate or the
community will be the sufferer.
Il think every delegate to the
convention went away with a firm
conviction that labor and capital
must not quarrel, that neither must

Captain Wheeler
 Warmly Greeted

4 telephone message received last night from Tombstone stated that the Crystal Theater at that place was filled to overflowing on account of the fact that Captain Wheeler was to make a short talk to the people of that city. The audience was not alone made up of the residents of Tombstone but there were many there from the surrounding country Fairbank, Glee- son, CCurtiand and the COwan ranch section being represented.
 The captain talked to them for twenty minutes and gave them an idea of what work was being done there not alone by the army but by Red Cross and other kindred Organiza- tiOns. He was listened to with interest not only by the grown-ups but by the younger Americans as well.
 When he concluded his remarks ne was cheered and applauded for near ly five minutes. He closed his re- marks by saying that he was going back to France to do his bit in a short time, but that when he came back he might be sent to jail.
 Arrangements are being made in this city for the Captain to give a short talk here on next Thursday even ing. He intends to make a similar talk in Douglas Friday night.

The United States Oil and Refining company are now drilling, the last re- ports gave the depth of their well aJ 500 feet. This company is composed of local people.

CONSOLIDATION HAS MET WITH BIG
 SUCCESS
STATE CHAIRMAN OF FRENCH WAR WORK SAYS GREAT GOOD HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED FOR FRENCH WOUNDED AND REF
 UGEEs; PLAN ENTERTAINMENT

Mrs. M. E. NJ Frantzen, state chair man of the French war work for this section, wishes it announced that the plan recently adopted of consolidating the work in America for the French woUnded with that for French refu- gees has met with great success. In other words, instead of merely being a society to care for French wounded, this work embraces devastated France. The task of caring for the refugees has almost doubled this year with the occupation of hundreds of miles of French territory in the three great German drives.
 As Mrs. Frantzen says, this work may now well be called French Red Cross work in general. Her society cares for French wounded and French refugees and for American wounded, too, when they are carried to French hospitals, as is often the case.
 The work is well organized and energetically carried forward in this district and still does not interfere with regular Red Cross work. The society has workroOms at Garfield and the Central schools and plans an entertainment in the near future on a large scale. It has the backing and sanction of the French government, and when in active campaign its work CTS may wear the French blue edged with white. It uses the twined French and American flags as its emblem The story of the work Of this society as a whole accomplished during the war is nothing short of wonderful

MIKE PORT THINKS HIS LUCK ABOUT
 TO CHANGE
RUSSIAN TELLS HARD LUCK STORY ABOUT FIGHTING TWO MEN, STOPPING CAR WITH HIS PERSON AND GETTING FINED IN FEW SHORT HOURS

Mike Port called, in person yes terday, upon the newspaper man, to speak of his troubles, and lately Mike has had plenty of them. Things are breaking badly for Michael He is surely entitled to a shift in the luck As was narrated in the Review the the other day, Mike had some trouble with another pilgrim in the district, and in the excitement of the fray Mike ran out in the street and was knocked down by an automobile. As if it were not enough to have to have a fight with two men and get chased into the street and knocked down by twO-tOn car, Mike was fined S10 in police court by his honor the judge.
 Now, Mike is game. He harbors no III will against either his adversaries in the fight, or the man driving the big car or the judge with his swift, stern sentence. But, Mike wants the whole world to understand that he has had enough. He does not mean any harm by living. He did not start the fight. he did not intend to block traf- fic. He had no trouble with the judge. But he thinks he ought to be given an even break hereafter by both for tune and the general public and the officials of the Warren district.
 Mike is Russian himself in spite of his Irish name, and he is a drafted man and ready to go when the call comes. But he told the newspaper man yesterday, standing at his desk with a smile on his face and a bunged up nose and a vacuum in his pocket where S10 used to be, that he did not start that fight Two men, then jumped on me; they lay for me. run. I too fast for them and would escape if that car not come and knock me down. The doctors at the dispensary they fix me up and then the judge fix me uD some more. I sure go get worst of deal all around"
 But Mike can be proud of one thing. Very few men can fight two men at once and stop a big automobile dead in its tracks and still work the next day.

Burglars late Friday night gained entrance through the back window to the United Loan company's place of business in Brewery Gulch and se- cured about 5000 worth Of watches, chains, etc. They secured about 300 watches and about 500 rings. The en- trance was gained by prying open a transom in the back end of the pool hall and after getting in there they re- moved a pane of glass from the high windows of the loan shop. There is no clue to the robbers but the work looked like that of Mexicans as the tools found there were not those of a professional.
