DOCTORS TO HOLD
CLUB MEETINGS
IN own BUILDING
Doctors Must Promise to
Maintain Highest Stand
ards of Honesty and Pro-
fessionaI Ethics.

"The Medical Building Associa-
ton" is the official name of the Or
ganization which will build and op-
crate the new medical building at
the southeast corner of Seventeenth
and Dodge streets. The life of the
corporation is 50 years and the au-
thorized capital is 81, 100000.
The officers of this new associa-
ton are: DR.. w. P. Wherry, presi-
dent; DR.. w. H. Sherraden, vice
president; DR.. E. w. Powell, secre-
tary; Leonard w. Scheibel, treas
urer. Mr.. Scheibel is identified with
the Nebraska National bank. Other
incorporators and directors are: DR.,
w. c. Bridges, DR.. Paul H. Ellis,
DR.. a. D. Dunn, DR.. L. A. Der
mody, DR.. Percy Hunter, John w.
Madden, of Hayden Bros stores, l.
F. Quinlan of Brandeis stores, and
Attorney w. A. Schall.
Tenants to Sign Pledges.
Applications for space in the new
building are being made through DR..
c. w. Pollard, chairman of the
house committee of the Omaha
Douglas County Medical society.
Prospective tenants will be asked to
sign pledges to maintain the highest
standards of honesty and ethics.
The top floor of the building will
be used by the medical society as
club rooms and for meeting pur-
poses. An amphitheater with seat
ing capacity of 500 will provide con-
venient facilities for holding series
of lectures, for advance study and
for discussing public health matters.
The medical society intends to take
a more active interest in matters of
public health in Omaha.
Medical Center of West.
The society also will bend every
effort to make Omaha the premier
medical center of the middle west.
The members of the society believe
that the establishment of the new
medical building will be long step
forward to establish Omaha in a
foremost place as center where the
best medical conoveniences and tai
ent may be had conveniently.
Patients going to the medical
building will be able to have COM
plete diagnosis through an arrange
ment of grouping of specialists,
which will relieve the visitor of go
ing from office to office and expert
encing long waits.

cal and dental center. Patients are
brought to Omaha from a vast ter
ritory, particularly from the north
west. Some of Omaha's specialists
are known throughout the west for
their skill.
From the construction point OF
view, the negotiations for this splen-
did structure are regarded as indica-
tive of what may be expected in
Omaha's building program during
the next five years. Business men
regard it as a demonstration of the
prosperity of Omaha, and they are
confident that this is one of SER
les of large downtown buildings to
be erected during the next year and
a half.
The Omaha Medical building will
be the first skyscraper on Dodge
street, west of the Union Pacific
headquarters. The grading of the
Dodge street hill will tend to stimu-
late the movement of business west
on Dodge and also on Douglas
streets, according to the belief of
business men.
Hayden Bros. will occupy the
basement and first floor of the
medical building for an extension of
their business.

letic club now stands was pur-
chased. Had the Strand failed West
Douglas street might still be the
dark, unpromising thoroughfare it
was four and one-half years ago.
Best Investment.
at is now the best property in
vestment in Omaha. Five times as
many people are to be seen there as
there were four years ago. More
automobiles are parked in that vi
cinity than elsewhere. 1t is the
most metropolitan part Of the city.
$50 much faith has A. H. Blank,
principal owner of the Strand and
Rialto theaters in this section that
he has taken long lease on
Douglas street location and expects
tc build soon
Since the opening the strand we
have seen the Nebraska Telephone
building, the Masonic temple, the
Athletic club, the Empress and
Rialto theaters erected on Douglas
street. The Fontenelle was built
only shortly before the Strand
opened. Plans for the building of
the doctors building is only another
step in what | believe will be most
rapid development on west Dodge
and Douglas streets.
Movie Nears Completion
1--WE are nearing the completion
of our new movie theater at Four
tenth and Douglas streets and plan
to build another at Fifteenth on the
same street by next spring, said H.
L. Goldberg, of the World Realty
company. IF crowds continue to
increase we will undoubtedly look to
west Douglas street for another To-
cation.
"rhe theater to be erected at
Fifteenth and Douglas will be one
of the finest in the United States.
1t will be built on the northwest
corner O. the street and will extend
north to the Empress theater. We
have great confidence in the de-
velopment of west Douglas street
and the west part of the city in
general. We control the Muse
theater at Twenty-fourth and Far
nam streets, and find its location
more than satisfactory"

UPPER DOUGLAS
STREET IS LIVE
CITY DISTRICT
Remarkable Growth of This
Section Of the City Is
Noted In the Last Three
or Four Years.

That upper Douglas street" will
BE- the live business district Of to-
morrow is the vision of prominent
Omaha realtors who have been
watching the thoroughfare's growth
for the last quarter century.
Following in quick succession, the
erection of the Hotel Fontenelle,
the Masonic temple, the Omaha
Athletic club and the new Nebaska
Telephone building, approximating
an investment of nearly 100000,
50 transformed the upper section of
this Omaha street that business men
look for an ever more radical de-
velopment.
The Hotel Fontenelle is Is stories
high.
The Masonic temple rises up 10
stories, the Nebraska Telephone
company, IA and the Omaha Ath-
ietic club, 8. All these buildings
are Of the latest design.
The old telephone building at
Eighteenth and Douglas street will
soon be converted into a banking
establishment for the Nebraska Ma
tional bank, now located at Twelfth
and Farnam streets.
To Remodel Soon.
F. w. Clarke, vice president Of the
bank said yesterday that remodeling
plans were being pushed to the ut
most. 1--WE will move as soon as
the work is completed"
The bank Is going to the expense
Of several thousand dollars in re-
modelling the old building.
Years ago The Bee building, with
its builder, the late Edward Rose
water, founder of The Bee, led the
westward trend of Omaha's busi-
ness section. For years The Bee
building stood as a great monument
towering above the business dis
trict. Today it is in the heart of
Omaha's busiest business district.
On Douglas street there is but
one vacant lot of any size, that be-
ing at the corner of Nineteenth
street. Negotiations for its pur-
chase from present holders have
been made and soon it 10 expected
that 4 large business building will
be erected.

1T is the best in Omaha"
The question was addressed to
and answered by H. M. Thomas
manager of the Rialto theater, and
founder of the Strand. The same
question was asked H. L. Goldberg
secretary of the World Realty COM
pany and manager of the Sun the
alter. His answer was the same.
Mr.. Thomas describes Seven
tenth and Douglas street as "de-
serted, dark and filled with beg
gars," when he arrived in the city
four and one-half years ago.
People Laughed.

American theater at Seventeenth
and Douglas streets as movie
house l was laughed at. | got so
| was ashamed to tell people of my
location.
THE American theater and its To-
cation had such a terrible reputa-
ton that for some time l was I'M
able to get any credit, in spite of
the best of references. Worse still,
could get no contracts signed for
the reconstruction work on the
American theater.
Il believe the future Of West
Douglas street swung in a balance
at that time.
when we finally opened, there
were still great difficulties to over
come. Between the new Strand and
Sixteenth street, the main thor
oughfare at that time, was a space
of two blocks as dark as an alley.
We placed all the lights on the front
of the theater we could and this
helped.
Comes Athletic Club.
"Still, there was a saloon and a
dance hall to contend with, not to
mention a thousand beggars. Peo-
pie going to the Hotel Fontenelle,
which had just been built, went up
Farnam street to Eighteenth to
avoid these conditions. l got a po-
liceman one night and we rounded
up a dozen or so beggars. The sa-
loon and dance hall have disap-
pear, and in their place the Athletic
club has been built.

Drahos-Luttig Add
New Corset Department

One of the first firms to recognize
the future possibilities Of west
Douglas street was the Drahos-Lut-
tig Millinery Shop, 1868 Douglas
street. This firm spared no ex-
pense in fitting up one of the finest
stores of its kind in the city.
Four years ago this establishment
was one of the few business stores
on this street and now enjoys very
liberal patronage from Omaha wo-
men, having kept pace with the
steady growth of this community.

A bishop for the Concordia do
cese to succeed the late Bishop John
Cunningham, will probably be chos-

polntment will be announced from
Rome perhaps at the end of this
or early in September. Mean
while speculation is rife as to the
late bishops successor. 1t seems to
be understood in Salina according to
reports that both the Rev. Father
Maher of Salina and the Rev. Father
Ennis of Concordia are among those
to succeed as bishop of the
Concordia diocese.
