10CAL ~ INVESTMENT FIELD Vmsba Real Estate Exchange Isnes ment of Exis i~g Oondition®, LOW PROPERTY PRICES NOT WARRANTED | Comparison with 1853 Previ Big Boom Time Declared Ripe for Unimproved Realty. The Omaha Real Estate exchange pie- sents to the public the following statement as to the status of Omaha reml estate with suggestions as tp its desirability as an investment: First—In the face of our cfty's general and continwed prosperity our real estate values are very low. The principal reasan for this is that following the panic of 1863, and the general depression resulting there- from, & vast amount off mortgaged and foreclosed property was thrown on the market at whatever It would bring, anl prices were hammeredndown to extreme'y low figures. We are mow’ recovering from that condition. There are practically mn) foreclosures, apd the process of lquid tion is about at an end. As a resdlt ther: is an appreciable advance In values in sSome localities and a firmer feeling all alonz the line. It is still admitted, however, ty our most competent judges, that real ee- tate in Omaha ‘is offered at much lower figures than are justified in a city of our class.™ “In the second place the general Business eonditions in Omalia are now more favor- able for profitable real estate investments than ever before In her history. The pres- ent situation is paralleled by but far in advance of what It was twenty years ago, at the beginning of that tremendous growth which came to Omaha in the fiv or six *years following 1888. Then liquida- tion following the panic of 1878 was about completed. Then people were coming > Omaha, as they are now, and they found houses for remt scarce and hard to get, just as they do now. Rallroads were knocking at our gates, wholesale houses were seeking suitable buildings, manufac- turers were inquiring about our facilities The same is true today, but in a much larger sense. 1f in 1883 and 188 men ven- tured on real estate Investments, and 1414 the foundation for competence and for- [ tune, with a faith based on what was then backing @ town of less than §).0% inhab- ftants, what do we venture when wo pin bur faith to & thriving city with ten-fold more back of It than could be claimed a soore of years ago? Development of Twenty Years. “Note a few of many conditions now ex- tsting which go to assure a great future for ‘Omaha, and which ought to give un- bounded confidence in her future to evory citizen who carefully considers the s tion: We have few equals and no supe jors among the citles west of the Missis gippl as & rajlway center, Within three yeurs, at immense cost, two great rallway systems have secured entrance to Omaha, and others are contemplating the same move. South Omaha, planned and laid out in 1884, with mo thought of its business growing to such enormous proportions, is now reaching out for the second place in the world as & stock market and packing center. Our faetories have doubled several times in these twenty years. Our whole- sale business has quadrupled, our popula- tion has tripled. The expense of building up & city has been iargely met, and mn this respect the story of the past twenty years is marvelous. Miles upon miles of streets have been brought to grade, sewers have been lald i every direction; Bundrads of thousands of dollars have been expended In street paving pnd permanent sidewalks. The purchaser today gets the advantage of all these enormous public ' improvements which are to a large extent paid for. In these years electricity has been harnessed and street cars are gt the doors in our re- motest suburbs. It is only a question of months when eleotric lines will bring the traders and the shoppers of eastern Ne- braska and western lowa to our market. “Then take a thought of the magnicent growth and development of all that great territory tributary to us, not only our own prosperous Nebraska, but the vast regions beyond, north and west, which year by are becoming more closely knit to us. ‘Now, with these facts before us, and face to face ‘with that other admitted fact, that real estate values have not yet res sponded to the favorable conditions exist- ing, are we hot justified in drawing inferencé that mow is the time to invest in Omaha redity? & Comditions Favorable to Omaha. “A third reason which presses itself upon us is that the general business situation the country s fn our favor. Real es- tate in eastern cities has reached a figure mever before attained, and this wave of prosperity is traveling westward. It has already reached our tfrm lands, and price records for lands are being repoatedly broken, Shrewd investors as well as wealthy farmers, Who have parted with their farms under the persuasion of high prices, tare Jooking cityward for invest- ments and for houses. J“The situstiofl, in- Wall street and the conditign of the stock market at all east- ern mopey centers mre in our favor. It is & historical Tact that when the stock mar- ket is oyer-infiated and reaction sets in, as 18 now the casé, real estate is benefited. “Another factor in our favor is the enor- mous amount of nfoney awaiting invest- ment and the consequent low rate of inter- est. Instead of paying § and 10 per cent on purchase money mortgnges as we did a few years since, 'we noWw pay ¢ per ceat. Rentals at present figures bring better re- turns than mortgage loans, with the addi- tional mdvantage that rental property 'at present values promises a profit in increased values. 4 Now is Time to Invest. “Under conditions we feel that we are amply tified In saying to our citf® 3ens that now Is & most opportune time for investing in Omaha real estate, and a fitting time for securing a home, or taking the first steps to that laudable end. We particularly urge upon the wage-earner and salaried employe the advisability of placing his savings real estate at present prices. CURES WEAK MEN FREE.

Jobn Stone, lecturer in the electrical de- t of the Massachusetts Institute of well known for important ventions in the development of lohg distanc | telephoning, recently proved the value of | ears of work devoted to the commercial as pects of wireless telegraphy by sending messages from Cambridge to Lynn, Mass a - distance of about twelve miles, under conditions hitherto deemed impossible | Until this message, no wireless telegraph | apparatus is a third device that trans- had been successfully operated Within three miles 0. an electric car line, or under conditions at all similar to those of an ordinary telegram—conditions, however that are absolutely essential to reducing iertz's great discovery > the terms of a matter of fact daily business. Under the néw system, in short, wireless telegraphy becomes a means of communication on land, where ali the conditions of daily life— trolley cars, sky-scrapers, thunder storms and the ever-present electrical d'sturbances presented by the wires of telegraph and telephone systems already in operation— have so far made it an impossibility. In the matter of large surfaces of water its operation Is of course less embarrassed by extraneous causes. The new system, more- over, takes yet another important step in the direction of making wireless telegraphy | & universal convenience, for it not only re- duces the height of the mast to practieal proportions, but it has solved the problem of making each message the exclusive property of the sending and receiving sta- tions. This i esesntially the experimental achievement of the technology investigator; what use wiil be made of it remains to be seen. Selective System Necessary. Some time before the sctual success at- tained by the operation of Mr. Stone's ap- paratus, Prof. Louis Duncan, head of the electrical department of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with which institu- tion the latest American inventor is him- self connected as lecturen on the subjects of electrical oscillations and wircless teleg- raphy, summed up the situation after an examination of the preliminary laboratory work then already accomplished. It has been demonstrated” said Prof. Duncan, “that, with the present apparatus, it is not posstble successtully to send and receive se- lective wsignals; that ls, signals which are recelved by only one station to the ex- clusion of all others. The commercial suc- cess of wireless telegraphy depends upon developirg a system which is selective. I belleve that the methods you have evolved are the only practical methods which will sccomplish this object. The experimental stations you have erected have shown a selectivity of about 10 per cent. This I have personally verifieds Such & Gegree of se- Jeetivity is quite sufficlent for commercial opinion that your present apparatus, when put in its ultimate and commercial form, lectivity. In seeking to reduce wireless telegraphy fully is threefold. Obviously in these days no system of wireless telegraphy could be- come generally practical so long as it could not be operated without disturbance by trol- ley cars, telegraphs or other electrical methods of transportation or communica- tion. Nor could any such system become altogether dependable 80 long as it necessi- tated the use of poles so high that they would be endangered by every big storm or send out messages that were not confined exclusively to the sending and receiving stations and could not be overheard by the apparatus of other stations, To obviate the first of these difficulties Mr. Stone has found a method of isolating his stations from all surrounding electrical disturb- ances; to obviate the second he has, so to speak, greatly increased the transmitting efficiency of small currents and at the same time shortened the length of his mast; and to overcome the third trouble he has in- vefited an apparatus so “selective” that it transmits a message that can be neither re- ceived nor interfered with by the instru- ments of any other system. Some Unebtrusive Experiments. Lacking the towering neight of Marcon! masts, and lacking also the ex- cltement of the first discovery of & great poesibility of intercommunication, Mr. Stone's two stations in the small desert of new made land between Boston and Cambridge have attracted comparatively little attention during the sixteen months in which preparations have been making for the first wireless message between Lynn and. Boston. An electric car line passes be- | tween these stations and another within seventy-five feet of the base of the receiv- ing wire at Lynn. The fambridge stations, separated by about a third of & mile, were equipped with forty-foot masts and with means for developing, radiating and re- celving electro-magnetic signal waves of Qifferent lengths st the will of the operator. It was found in practice, as had been previously developed in theory by laboratory experiment, that signal waves differing in frequency by less than 10 per cent could be ecaslly picked out at the receiving station and caused to operate one or the other of |the recelving apparatuses by a proper adjustment of the receiving cireuits. In other words, as the different sound waves produced by correspondingly different num- bers of vibrations of the tuning forks produce sounds of different intensity, the vital principle of Mr. Btone's selective appa- | ratus may be roughly reduced to terms of music. if you imagine three boys stand- ing within speaking distance and twe of them capable of Alstingulshing & certain note in the vocal scale that the other can- not distinguish, the two boys are In the same mutual relation the two stations of the Stone wireless system. 1f you reduced that note to terms of the Morse aiphabet the two boys would have a method | of communication of which the third would be lgnorant. And it is by scientifically selecting the wave length to which only his own apparatus will respond that Mr. Stone has changed wireless telegraphy trom a helten skelter sending of & given mesage fo all points of the compess to a single pommunication between two instru- ments ghat have for commercial purposes the same directness and secracy of a message by wire. Not long ago, it will be remembered, Marcon! was himself inter- fered with in sending a wireless dispatch owing to the fact that other people ac- cMdentally or otherwise entered into com- manication with his instruments. Without attempting to enter upon the technical detalls of Mr. Stone's. inven- tion, the principle of this important dis- covery is one which may be readfly under- #t00d by anybody familiar with the action of an ordinary tuning fork. Striking = tuning fork, as nearly everybody kmows from public school experience, sets in action & series of waves, and f these WAvVes cross 4 reom comfaining & harp or plano, the single string that s in tune with the fark will vibrate in unison. No Gther string of the instrument will be af- fected. Now, the eloctro-magnelic waves sent | the, have the same, property. 1f the electrical equilibrium of any elcotrical conductor as. for example, the vertical wire of the tall mast of & wireless telegraph station, is rbed, and the conductor then electrical currents will flow to establish its send jeft to itself, in it tending eventually original equilibrium. These curren out into space electro-magnetic waves ex- actly corresponding to them in frequence, now translated into wave lengths and mov- ing at about the speed of a flash of light. | The new discovery simply goes a long step further than the old in length of each wave sent out from Its transmitting station, and thus making it | possible, as in the case of the tuning fork and the plano, for any apparatus to respand | to it, unless it has been so arranged that it responds naturally to just that number of | vibrations per second How (he Machinery Works. atus of Mr. Stone's wireless sys- #, therefore, of the famillar rrying the vertical conductor, and | the equally famillar apparatus for giving | | the signal. But between these pleces of | controlling the | forms the original signal into certain reg- | ular periods of electrical disturbance, and | these in turn pass from the vertical con- ductor off into space in electro-magnetic |waves of a known frequency. These waves, passing through space, will pro- | duce an electrical disturbance only in an | | electrical circuit so arranged that it re- sponds naturally to this artificlally estab- | lished frequency, its response producing an | exactly similar electrical disturbance, and | this in turn reproducing the original mes- sage. The message is therefore the ex- clusive property of the two stations whose respective apparatus is thus in harmony, nor —what is equally Important—can either of these sets of apparatus be affected by waves of any other degree of frequency, | that is, by messages not intended for them. For the recent successful signaling be- | tween Boston and Lynn a 100-foot mast | was erected at the Cambridge transmitting | station and a mast some six feet shorter | at the Lynn recelving station. The Lynn | station s almost completely surrounded by houses and the “air line” traverses the factory part of Cambridge, the city of | Charlestown, several other intervening cities and finally a considerable portion of the famous old shoe town in which the receiving station is located. The line is therefore typical of one in actual com- | merctal operation, running from one se tion to another in much the same fashion as a modern telegraph line and thus doing away with the very high masts, not only expensive to erect, but always lable to destruction by the elements, now necessary to establish wireless communication over long distances. It is the plan of the in- ventor to have a series of these stations, say fifty miles apart, 50 as to tranemit & long distance message from one to nother until it i¢ finally taken at its destination and also to send and receive. local dls- patches at each station. In this case, of course, the local operator will be indls- pensable. For the ‘“through messages,” bowever, Mr. Stone has devised & new method of relaying, or automatically re- peating, the original message from one station to the next, and this message makes it possible apparently tg telegraph over- land to practically unfimited distances. Sending a message by fifty-mile repetitions is not indeed so sensational an exploit as the wireless message sald to have been that's what is going to be the matter with | purposes; at the same time I am of the | \ o ooiveq on the liner Philadelphia over 1,61 miles of restless ocean, but it is gen- erally admitted that it is on the side of Mr. Nextdoor (to lttle Willle, who has | will show an even greater degres Of Se-|,,.3 communication that the discovery of wireless telegraphy has its greatest sphere of probable usefulness, and it is also ad- Willie (earnestly)—Some of the white |to terms of everyday utility the problem | ., eemy more difficult to operate over land meat, part of a wing, a plece of the second | which Mr. Stone has so far solved Success- | .. over gea.
