BY TRUMA KITCHEN.

Few Omahans realize, as they
look with envy on the summer exo-
dus to distant watering places and
summer resorts, that right here in
Omaha they own an open air estate
of nearly 1000 acres.
But such is their park estate.
There are 81 of them ranging
from Carter Lake, the largest, with
3l3 acres and a lake covering 200
acres, to the little triangular bit of
green known as Bluff view park,
daring hardly to boast of. half an
acre.
Connecting these various parks or
divisions of "every-rnan's, summer
estate are IS miles of winding boule-
YARDS
Yet there are some of the city's
thousands who do not count the
parks in their summer pleasure cur
riculum. There are some, too, whose
eyes are blinded to the beauty of
Omaha's open green; her swimming
pools; lakes; golf links; picnic
grounds and natural woods; the
sheer beauty Of which appeals to the
love of nature. Their ears are deaf
ened to the songs of Omaha's birds;
to the stories Of Nebraska's folk
lore; and their senses benumhed to
the transformation from winters
monotony to springs beauty and
summers glory.
And the reason is that in between
themselves and these things are
visions; mirages painted of distant
marvels where ravines become cany-
ons; wher zoos are menageries;
where springs become fountains aud
golf links are as common as autos;
where the views defy description
and the very songs of the birds have
different timbre. These are the
word pictures of those "among lis
mortals" who fit away with the
first breath of spring. before visiting
their own summer home" and are.

This is Will Marlar's idea of the situation; he heads his contribution, "Past, present, and future of Flag staff":S
 "In 1910, l wanted to get small, comfortable home for my family. 1 hunted the town over, and could not find one. Since that time there have been built some 200 or more houses. And now the demand is greater than in 1910.
 "What is the meaning of this?
 'It means that the town is growing, with a substantial growth, and will continue to do SO. The following facts just few of the many-show why:
 "The climate is desirable for all peo- pie in the Southwest.
 "The school accommodations excel those of all other towns in northern Arizona, and will be much better with the coming near-future high school.
 Flagstaff, being centrally located, is easily accessible to all the sur rounding country for supplies, homes and all other accommodations.
 Personally, think none of us have paid too much fors the property we now have. In the future, if you inn prove your present opportunity to ac- quire property, you will never regret it. Don't envy the person who has more than you have. Get busy. That is one of the many ways tp make Flagstaff double its size.
