10 THE OMATIA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, JANUARY 6, 1901. WESTWARD GROWS THE CITY Predictions as to the Future of Twenty- Fourth Street. That Indications Denote Twenty- Fourth Street WiL, in Time, He- come the Chief Retall Thoroughin The construction of the viaduct over the rallway tracks at Twenty-fourth street which will be next summer, portends more without prophetic gifts realize. When one studles the settled area and topography of Omaha, reflects upon the changes that bave been made in the business districts and considers the continued growth of the city to the westward, he can without any vory great tax upon the imagination con jure up a plcture of the Omaha of the fu ture with artery of activity The opening of the mediately give new Twenty-fourth street, although it m gome years before the thoroughfare whole attains the prominence it destined to enjoy Omaha, lke m built up in line carried on to than citizens will im of be a new viaduct life to a portion as river towns, has been running parallel with the stream. In the early days the town pelled entirely upon river transportation for its connections with the outside world and even for many years after the rail- roads reached the Missourl from the east the river trafec continued to an im- portant factor in the life and growth of Omaha. The business of the new town naturally grew up along the river bank, convenient to the landings of the several packet lines A the city developed it extended to the north and to the south, rather than to th for several reasons rst, as has been stated, business could transacted with the greatest and atch along the river front Second, there was a sentimental reason for clinging to the stream that had given the settlement its first growth The third reason for stretching the city out on @ narrow strip was furnished by the natural topography of the adjacent land Not mere than a thousand yards west of the river bank a series of big hills seemed to frown down any efforts that might be undertaken at city building in their direce tion we be di ease Changes Wroaght by Time. Time brought forth wonderful changes in the aspect the city. Railroads came in from the st and led out to the taking away from the rive big portion of its traffic and giving the city new ad- vantages a trading point Wholesale ho % grew in number and volume of busi- ness and crowded the retall stores out of their earlier locations. The river lost its first attractions when passengers and freight ceased to be carried in and out of Omaha by steamboats. Civil engineers en- listed with the city builders and the for- bidding hills to the west were gradually scraped down and transformed into suit- able bullding lots. As Omaha extended westward the retail trade followed, going first from Ninth to Tenth street, then on up to Thirteenth, and in time to Fifteenth and Sixteenth. Dur- tng the last decade, while the retail trade has been taking possession of Sixteenth street, the residence portion of the city has been extending rapidly westward. Ten years ago there were only a few houses on the high ridge that follows Thirty-ninth Fortieth streets and today bundreds of handsome homes are there. Beyond this ridge are the fast-growing suburbs of Dun- dee and Benson, which must ultimately become parts of the city of Omaha. It is not irrational to state that within another decade the vacant property between the Fortieth street hill and Dundeo and Ben- son will be occupled by hundreds of houses and thousands of people, making the built-up territory, including the €uburban towns, reach at least five miles west of the Missourt With this vast and practically new resi- dence district on the west, with the popula- tlon of the northwestern section of the ity rapidly increasing and with the gi- gantic packing house industry on the south- wost, the question of the evolution of Omaha's business center and trade arteries becomes an interesting study. will retall trade continue to follow the resi- dence growth westward? If so, will tho jump be from Sixteenth to Twenty-fourth street, or first to some intermediate point? The first question s generally answered in the affirmative, but with varying qualifi- cations. There is but one amswer to the second question, and that is in favor of Twenty-fourth street When the new viaduct 1s finished Twenty- fourth will be the first street west of Six- teenth to reach over the railroad tracks into South Omaha and it will strike right into the heart of the packing town. When Twenty-fourth stroet {8 opened through the three blocks In front of Creighton col- lege, from Cass to Burt streets, it will be the only street reaching from the north Jimit of Omaha to the south lmit of South Omaha, making a stralght thoroughfare of more than nine miles In length. Twenty- fourth street furnishes the only direct route from the section of Omaha to the plants in South Omaha Omaha extends westward to a line five miles from the river Twenty-fourth street will be on the eastern border of the best and by far the largest residence section. In fact, everything points to Twenty-fourth west, great industrial W W VM completion | Twenty-fourth street as its main | seems | the | thickly-settled northern | When the city of | street as the central north and south thor- oughfare of the Omaha of the future. City Engineer Andrew Ros con in his makes the prediction that Twenty-fourth street: will become one of the leading business streets of Omaba within the pext twenty-five years Ot course,” says Mr. Rosewater, “Six teenth street retail trading point for many years to come, but ultimately (he retail business will extend out Farnam street and up and down sev " eral miles of Twenty-fourth street The | growth of the city must necessarily be | water, always orvative estimatos st wostward, and within twenty perhaps in less time, practically all of the residences of people will be ot | Twenty-fourth street. The retail business ‘m st come from the residence district and that district moves westward it naturally be followed by the retail stores. It may be said that rapid transit | will make it possible to reach Sixteenth almost as quickly as Twenty-fourth street from the western section of the city and for that reason shopping on Sixteenth will be about as as it would be on Twenty-fourth. it must be remembered that ly west of Twenty-fourth and within wa'king dis nce of it will be the most thickly populated portion of the town, and that a car line along Twenty-fourth street will make it the most accessible street from the best residence districts in both the north and south ends of town, “When business goes west it will settle in Twenty-fourth eet, because, when few slight jogs are taken out and three blocks ¢ it will be the only street five years, and our west | win convenient But of the city to the southern limits of South Omaha. The grade of the street is heavy at some parts, it is true, but not so heavy as to make the ation of electric cars at all dificult.” ieneral Manager Smith of the streot rail way company, when asked what he thought of the future of Twenty-fourth street, said “If this city grows as we all would like to see it grow Twenty-fourth street will undoubtedly become the main traveled road north and south. 1 don't think, howeve that its prominence as a business street will be atiained right away. The street railwa company does not contemplate the construe Twenty-fourth street for some but of course, when there is a such a live it will be built. For the pres- ent the through trafMic from the northern section of Omaha to South Omaha, and the north and south traflc west of Farnam street would not warrant the construction of a cross-town line as far west as Twenty- fourth street “The time may come, however, when such a line will be in demand. It may be five ten or twenty or thirty years in the futur I am not enough of g prophet to fix it “The new viaduct over the railroad tracks at Twenty-fouth street will probably be utilized by the street rallway company soon after its completion It is probab that we will put in a line runnink fi the stock yards in South Omaha north on Twenty-fourth street and across the viaduct to Leavenworth, thence to Sixteenth street This line will undoubtedly bring the south | ern portion of Twenty-fourth street greater prominence.” Lewis S. Reed, who has watched the de- velopment of Omaha with a careful eye, savs “I am firmly convinced that Twenty- fourth street is destined to become the principal retall thoroughfare of the city Owners of pro; ty on and below Sixteenth street need not become alarmed, however, because the shifting of the retail business westward will necessarily be deferred for some years, “As the residence district extends west- ward the retail stores will be attracted in that direction; while the section between Sixteenth street and the river will grad- ually fill up with wholesale houses and fac- tories. Twenty-fourth street, by its cen- tral location and ceotinuity, wiil become the principal thoroughfare in the natural evolution of Omaha." A ar Falsehood. When a customer seeks to purchase some well koown, widely advertised, standard article, and the dealer tries to sell him scmething else, claiming the offered sub stitute to be “just as good,” that dealer is gullty of flagrant falsehood. If tho substitute were just as good It would sell on its own merits and would be called for by customers instead of hav- Ing to be unloaded upon them by means of falsehood and deceit The very fact of the comparison “just good,” preves the claim to be untrue. We | measure up, not down. We measure the the gr not the greater by the less. When, therefore, some unknown or little known article is ranged up for measurement by a well known standard article, the very fact of such measurement and comparison, stamps the substitute as a lesser thing than the standard article with which it Is compared. But this is only half the truth. we prove the clalm “just as good” to be a falsehood, but the extent of that false- hood it Is impossible to estimate. ‘“Just as good"means, in general, place of purity, an uncertain quality in- | stead of a certaln quality, cheap material instead of good material. And beyond all this the adulterants may be not simply years yet lemand for |1ess by may be dangerous poisons. When the dealer says “just as good," yourself “just as good" for whom? Yon | will find in the answer to that quesiion |the motive of substitution, which is the extra profit paid the dealer by the sale | of the substitutes and imitations of stand- ard wares, Practically the dealer say when practicing the gentle art of substitu. tion, “This is ‘just as good' for you, be- cause it is a great deal more profitable for mo, and anything is good enough for you | which increases my profits.” ask (ECEEEEEEEREEEECEFECECRECEREES, NEGLECTED BACK Hundreds of them in Omaha.

Rublin is there with {a few samples of this commodity himself. | Rublin is near Boston doing light work, and | in about ten days will begin the heavy part of his training. “I have every assurance {in the world,” says Ruhlin, “that my fight with Jeffries for the world’s championship will be decided In Cincinnati on the date agreed on, I will weigh within a pound or two of 190 pounds when I face the cham- plon and have about ten pounds to take off before I can scale that, I am not going to be in any hurry about reducing. I want to be in the finest possible condition for |Jofrries, and intend to make the fight of my | life. “I know that Jeffrles will weigh about thirty-five pounds more than I will when we put up our hands in Ohlo, but that is not going to frighten me any. I fought him once and know what he ean do, and while T do not think I have any einch on | the fight I feel entirely confident® that I am going to get the decision. No, I do not think there will be any knocking out done on either side. 1 know that he cannot knock me out. I figure this fight will be largely a matter of condition, and that means that the man who is In the better | shape will win out. | Memphis 1s the Mecca toward which the fighters are directing their ways now. No shut-down of the game has as yet been accomplished in that city, and the smaller fry of fighters are flocking in there ia great numbers. Of course Memphis is not large enough to ever permit the pulling off of any blg champlonship matches, where the gate receipts must needs run up into the thousands of dollars in order to make the affalr a success, but so long as the gamo is permitted there the lesser lights will continue to shine.

BOWLING SCORES GO UPWARD Heavy Play on Local in a neral Already Good The usual number of new records have been posted on the bowling score boards | during the week and several exciting league contests, together with a brief spell of cold weather, helped to bring the popularity of the pastime up to the high water mark There has been hardly an evening when the in the different parts of the city | have not been overcrowded from dusk until closing time. Such devotion to the game could scarcely have any other effect than and betterlng of marks which were sup posed to be about as good as it lay in the abllity of local talent to create. F. Smith surpassed the ten-pin mark at Lentz & Williams' with a run of 247. King Denman won the December prize at Clark- son's with a score of a single point less On the same alleys C. Conrad established new figures in seven-down, scoring nine points out of a possible ten. Herman Beselin ran 246 stralght one night early in the week and Mark Encell accumulated a little bunch of glory by coming within five of the Gate City record, held by E. R. Ben- son, having made a run of 254 points. Four sets of games were contested dur- ing the week, although the earlier on were not held according to the league schedule. The match between the Clark- sons and the Stirlings was postponed until Wednesday, resulting in a win of three straight by the Clarksons. The Gate City eam took three straights from the Peerless Cabinets on Thursday, this befng a post- poned game also. The meeting between the Nationals and the Omahas at Heyden's was a straight winning for the latter by a total score of 2,344-2,000. At Lentz & Willlams' the Krug Parks took two out of three from the St. Charles team by a total score of 2,206 to 2,272, Besides the league games scheduled for the coming week there will be the addi- tional attraction of two champlonship con- tests between teams of this city and one trom Boone for prizes of a side. The first mateh will %e with a picked team on the Lentz & Willlams ulleys. Those who will oppose the Boone bowlers are: Bese- lin, Krug, Conery, Nellson and Smith. The captaln of the lowa aggregation has sent word to the local bowlers that there is a crowd of twenty-five coming to back thelr team. The second game will be on the Clarkson alleys. Some of the high scores for the week are as follows: Herman Beselin, at Lents & Willlams, twenty-four straight at nine- pins; on the Gate City alleys, W. H. Stop- enhorst, 222; Harry Reed, 218-204; Prof. Sheldon, 211; Harry Mabaffy, 220; Herman Besclin, four games, averaging 204; at Clarkson's, J. J.

ENDING OF THE QUAIL SEASON Omahn nte d Not Go Out in Great Numbers and Had but Scant Luck. The winding up of the quall season dur- ing the holidays furnished full bags for a very few of the local hunters, as the cold weather and the reports of scanty game kept a good many sporisimen at home.

All of which Is to eay that the last bluff from the American league didu't work When it came to a showdown the formation of an auxillary circuit to combat the West- ern leaguc flashed in the pan, and even the most enthustastic supperters of the plan do not mow believe that its organization will ever materialize. During the week a | meeting was to have been held in Chicago | to complete the election of officers and finally announce the circuit, but when the day came there was no meeting. One | member of the proposed league was pres- | ent, George Burnham, and Jimmy Manning was there to speak for his Kansas Clty outfit. That was all, and beyond saying that the meeting would be held some time | after the session of the American league nothing was given out. This sudden ces- | sation of activity did nothing to increase faith in the proposed league, and even the Chicago writers, who were boosting it hard- est, say that there s little prospect of its ever taking material shape. In the meantime the dove has been sent forth from the ark, and is believed to have returned with at least a sprig of ollve in its teeth. Colonel Muggsy McGraw jour neyed from Baltimore to New York and conferred with Andy Goose Freedman Muggsy vehemently denled that he went to seek a place as player on the Glants, and then shut up. Freedman will say nothing as to the object of the session, and con- sequently there is nothing left for the time but conjecture. As singular as it may seem, all conjecture trends in the same course. No more natural inference could be drawn than that McGraw, being one of the leading Insurgents, called on Freedman, who is one of the directors of | the National league, for the purpose of paving the way to what is called in diplo- matic circles a rapprochement. Ban Johnson couldn’t do it, and the league couldn’t approach Ban Johnson. But there 1s no good reason why Muggsy shouldn't find out what the big league is willing to do in a quiet way and tip it off to John- son, and then all hands and the cook can be plped forward, a little proclamation read, a double measure of grog served and the good old ship of professional base ball will again sail on, its main brace duly spliced and everybody singing the same | song. Johnson ts understood to have prepared his draft of the new national agreement, and every sign points to an early adjust- ment of the whole squabble. It 1s absolutely necessary that a settlo- ment be reached soon, for the opening of the season is only some three months off and all the preparations in the new towns must be made. Leases for grounds cannot bo signed until the magnates are exactly | certain of what they are going to do, and | this, it no other reason, is sufficient to | require an immediate adjustment of differ- ences and @ settlement of circuit rights. Engagement of players, too, s a feature which will not admit of much longer delay. So it would seem that the proposition to split the pot will not be much longer de- layed. Locally the feature of the week was the visit of President Hickey to Omaha. He did a little conference with President Keith and slipped back down the river. He found Buck's backbone as stiff as starch can make it and his heart in the right place Buck has listened to the siren song of the dope fiend for the last time and is getting ready for an active campaign in base Lall along business lines. His lines are out for a lot of good players and both he and Rourke are confident that they will give Omaba a team of which the city will be proud and for which the fane will mever blush.
