THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: APRIL 24, 1910. TIMELY REAL ESTATE GOSSIP Union Pacific Spends Big Sum for | Freight Depot Grounds. BUILDING RECORDS FAVORABLE First Three Month; 1010 Show Gatn in Permifs Issmed—Profit North Sixteenth Street Deal. Real ' estate showed pronounced activity Jast week and some big transfers of city property were made. The Union Pacific has secured all the ground that it wants at present upon which to erect its new freight depot at the north end of the Tenth street viaduct, and the amount expended 'In obtaining ‘this property ‘will amount to approximateiy $00,000. To this will be added probably $100,000 more for erecting the structure, This property was quietly bousht by va- rious parties for the Union Pacific. The negotiations were carrfed on by the Me- Cague Investment company. The erection of the Unlon Pacitic office bullding at Fifteenth and Farnam streets will have a tendency to increase the value of property and real estate men are opti- mistic over the future of that section of the city. That this huge structure and the one to be erected by the Iten Biscuit com- pany will afford a nucleus for building operations In this section Ia the bellef of most real estate men. A comparison for the first three months of 1900 shows that more permits have been \ssued for dwelling houses than were dur- ing the same period in 1809. Last year 2i1 permits were issued for dwellings, while Wis year there were 28, Of this number, W were for frame houses and fifteen for brick. or cement.. The. money. espended In_ this period last year was $34,8%0, compared with $811,6% for 1910, January of this year was the only month in this period . which. féll .behind last year's fl'ure-.lnd this ‘'was due to the cold weather' expepienced at that time. Permits this Jahuary called. for’ an ex- penditure of $160,980 for dwelling houses, agalndt $196,400. The' other months show an Increase. , That the value of property along North Sixteenth Is-increasing is bore out 'by ‘the fact that a property which was bought four years ago for $20,000 -sold -for $32,500 spot cash last. week. This property is located at 514-16-18 North Sixteenth street and was sold to L. Krane of Fullerton by E. M. F.'Leflang. The deal was made by T.' W.- Hagen. ' Aside from a profit of $12500 on the deal, it -is sald that Mr. Leflang recelved $5,300 and 8 per cent net on rentals. ‘The bullding is occupled by a grocery Store, meat market'and jewelry store. . Those who are acquainted. with conditions along that styeet say that other property _valgies have . increased propor- tlonately. 5 The following resolution was adopted at the meeting of the Omaha Real Estate ex- change held Wednesday: Resolved, That the Omaha Real Estate exchange requests all householders to fill out thelr census. blanks at once to:save the time of the enumerators and t» ald in getting a complete census, and that all those who have ‘not recelved the blaniks telephone to Mr. Saunders and obtain the same. " Miss Anna Downs has sold a lot and two modern houses at Thirty-first and Marcy streets to Albert F. Ohman for $7,000 Willlam Cosh has contracted with H: ings & Heyden for a five-room cottage to be ‘bullt for him at Twenty-fifth and Ames avenues. Hastings & Heyden sold a six-room house on Lothrop street, between Twenty-first and twenty-second, to Willam Zitzman for & home. The price pald was $4,250. Dr. Fred Simon of Oakland, Neb., has purchased a home at 150 Emmet street, He pald $4,000. An Indication of the activity of®Omaha réal estate at this time fs illustrated by the number of sales that have been made by Hastings & Heyden since the first of April. The number of parcels of land and houses that have been sold by that firm to date s forty. These sales not only in- clude city property, but deals made in the stburbe. Other firms of Omaha have long lists of exchanges that have been made, ard it 1s the general belief of real estate men that this will be a record breaking year for the transter, of Omaha property. In almost every instance the deals have shown a profit. The residents in. the vicinity of the Fleld club are assuming the role of agriculturists and this weather has inspired many In that section to get busy with the spade and the hoe. “Too much outdoor work for any in- dpor meetings,” said W. A. DeBord, presi- dent of the Feld Club District Improve- ment club last week. “South Thirty-fifth Avenue is one of the busiest agricultural communities in this part of the state. With White, Adam, Guild and Kohn all fixing’ up new places, sodding, putting in shrubs, frult and shade trees, they have 86 impregnated the air with their activity that it is catching and keeping Haarmann, Stoltenburg ‘and all the rest of us busy staying with the procession. | “Uniform tree guards were set on every | ifee In the stroet this last week. “Commissionér Flynn had his gang out and swept things up as clean as a kitchen tloor, while Councilman Schroeder had the councli order an arc light at the intersec- “Here is a golden opeo portunity for a miller who ts to make a 2'-.. and get Into & new country o And where gountr, NE FOR HIAL in tho market \nt for ‘arey Act land; the richest Ties out ‘Of doora.

Al- ready the residents on neighboring streets are beginning to sit up and take notice, %0 when the call is sounded for a real nelghborhood movement, they will all be there,” A glance at the real estate transters for the month of April shows that the invest- ment in suburban property is brisk. Many have bought lots in the outlying districts with a view to erecting homes. C. P. Traver and his brother, Traver, are building several large apart- ment houses in Omaha this spring. C. P. Traver is bullding & thirty-room apart- ment house at 1819 Park avenue and four St. Louls flats at Thirty-first and Jack son streets. He is also buflding a thirty- room apartment houso at Thirty-tirst avenue and Dodge street. E. 8. Tn T is building a sixty-four-room apartment house on Thirty-tifth, between Farnam and Dodge streets. These will all-be modern, with all conveniences, and will add ma- terially to the large number of apartment houses’ which' are’ being buflt' in' Omaha this spring.

Sheean, ‘formerly with the Northwestern. in Omaha, in the legal de- partment, has been advanced to the posi- tion of general sollcltor of the road, in succession to the late Judge Thomas Wil- son of St. Paul. Mr. Wilson had held the position of general ‘solicitor for eighteen years, and was considered one of the great lawyers of the northwest.

NEW FAST FRUIT SERVICE Burlington st l shes New Freight Train m Kansas City ¢ to Omeha. For the accommodation of fruit dealers, the Burlington has put on & new fast freight train which will leave Kansas City at 615 p. m. and arrive in Omaha at 8:30 o'clock the next morning, where con- nections will be made with fast trains going north, east and west. The train is to be known as Burlington fruit train No. 7. Arrangements have been made to have the train connect at this city for Man- kato, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth, Minn,; Superfor, Wis;; and Sloux Falls and Aberdeen, S. D. This will mean that deaers in fresh fruits can use Omaha and Kansas City headquarters and they will be able to get fresh supplies at short notice. It is reported thax General Counsel Balley P. Waggener of the Missourl Pa- cific, who recently expressed his views on policles In Omaha, has been promoted to a new position of general solicitor for Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and - Okla- homa.

The booklet contains many strik- ing photographs taken while on one of the tours by A. W. Wakeley, son of Gen- eral Passenger Agent L. W. Wakeley of the Burlington road. This year the company is nutting on personally conducted eighteen-day trips through the park, whicl is an innovation. The new scheme Is to conduct informal camping tours, and those making the trip will camp In tents at important places along the route, instead of putting up at| hotels. It is expected that the new ar-| rangement will appeal strongly to nature lovers. General Frelght Agent Conrad E. Spens of the Burlington has returned from u business trip to Chicago.

DOCTORS DISCUSS DISEASE Addresses of Dr. Goets, water and Dr. La Dr. Rose- ddresses from three physiclans large audience at the Temple Israel was Instructed in the gospel of fresh alr, sun- shine, ‘g0od 000 and rest as the preven- tive of consumption. The addresses were given Friday night as one of the general responses to the request by the Society for . the Prevention of Tuberculosis that Tuberculosis day be observed on or about Sunday, April 2. Those who talked were Dr. James 8. Goets, Dr. Charles Rosewater and Dr. Millard Langfeld. The physicians all touched on the various phases of the tople, showing that air is the mogt Important demand of the human body: fhat sunshine is a defense against the germs that attack the body; that nour- ishing food is required to produce & vital- ity sutficlent to. conquer disease, and that contidence In nature's own forces furnished in, the human organism Is a necessity. Dr. Goets, In opening the discussion, stated the enormity of the tuberculosis or consumption scourge, glving figures and historical facts. He showed that the dis- ease reaps a greater harvest of death than all other diseases ocombined. The physi- clan then explained that the malady strikes its victims when they are in the years of thelr greatest usefulness, those years be- tween 16 and %. He concluded by saying that the epidemic is preventable, curable and capable of eradication. Diet Ald to Henlth. In his address on the proper hygiene and dlet for prevertive measures, Dr. Rose- (water took occasion to say that the Jewish race, according. to. statistics, Is Jess sus- ceptible:to the malady than any other race, And that this was because of the laws of eating observed by the race. The religious practice of having all food Inspected that is eaten by Jews and the abstinence from pork, he said, acted as a safeguard for the Hebrew race. Declaring that the only real cure of disease lles within the body itself, Dr. Langfeld turther developed the reasons for the immunity of Jews from consumption. “The Jews are the oldest race,” he sald. “For that reason they have acquired through the centurles a greater force of prevention in ' their- inmer organism. The habits: of the -rice are only partially re- gponsible for Its apparent freedom from il Dr. Langfeld described the organic force of prevention of dlsease as the ‘“‘mechan- {sm of defense.”” He explained that in the beginning of the world the microscoplc germs, created for the good purpose of destroying dead matter, had gradually fixed themselvs upon the human body through the - latter's. weakness. * Dattle of Germa. From that point combative germs de- veloped in the Infected body against the original microbes, ‘he sald. In the sur- vival of the fittest those who outlived the’ attack of the germs were possessed of a store of the defensive germs, which they transmitted to their offspring, according to the speaker. ', “Therefore the greatest antitoxin lies in the body,” concluded Dr. Langfeld. His theories dovetalled with Dr. Goets and Dr. Rosewater to the point that fresh air, good fo0d and the anti-toxin in the body would conquer disease. He ‘explathed anti-toxin for weakened bodles is now obtained from animals, Dr. Rosewater named beef, eggs and milk as the best food for consumptives. He pointed out the need for pure air to suf- terers, In his account of the inroads of con- sumption Dr. Goetz declared that the United States loses between 160,000 and 200,- 000 persons from consumption every year.

Eaton, member of the board of Jectureship of the First Church of Christ, Solentist, of Boston, the “mother church, lectured Friday night at the Brandels thea- ter on ‘Christian Sclence ay the Sclence of Lite. hristian Sclence, as the sclence of life and being, advances to the solution of the perplexing problems which confront us by discarding all mortal speculation, theories and superstition about God, His being and intent, and” His relation to that which He created,” sald Mr. Eaton. “Although dis- reeing with the old theological schools and those who have assumed to know all about God and to teach men thereof, Christian Science does not announce & new, strange or irrational God, but unfolds and declares a correct comprehension and a right understanding of the one God, His nature, qualities and law. One infinitely 800d God 1s all It recognizes and proclaims. “It demonstrates that God is supreme in intelligence, wisdom, power, justice, truth and love, and therefore includes the con- sclousness of absolute and infinite good. It proves that He is the mind, spirit, soul, life and substance of all that actually ex- ists; also that He is the author of all true being—the orlgin and source of all entity or existence, the only cause and creator, and that His works are spiritual, righteous, unchanging and eternal. Christian Sclence declares that God is the principle of His creation; hence the consclous, energlzing, governing, sustaining presence of the uni- verse, whose law means the completeness, perfection and harmonious operation of all that is. It declares that He Is Infinite Love; hence He Iy compassionate, mereiful, tender, warm, comforting, true. In a word, it teaches that God, our heavenly Father, s all in‘all, “Prayer, we understand, is genuine com- munion with God. It is purely the recog- nition and acknowledgement of a right God and His absolute supremacy. Christ Jesus prayed; so do Christian Sclen- tists. His prayers were all answered. Christian Sclence In entrenched behind the authority of -Christ's promise: ‘Whatso- ever ye shall ask the Father in my name, He will glve it you.' This inspires us to hope that ultimately through an under- standing of the operation of unchanging Divine law we ghall obtain an answer to our prayers with the same certainty as did Jesus. He said in his appeal to God as he stood before the tomb of Lazarus, whom he raised from the dead, ‘I knew that Thou hearest me always.’ Christian Sclentists recognize that assoclated with every prayer or sincers desire for the manifestation of God's presence and power there should be positive faith, conviction and knowledge that the prayer is consis- tent with our true relation to God. Such an attitude merits and provides for an an- swer to prayer In accordance with the scripture: ‘What things soever ye desire When . ye pray, belleve that ye receive them, and ye shall have them;' also, ‘And if we know that He hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the peti- tions that we desired of Him. Tribute to Mrs, Eddy. “Christian Sclentists, while appreciating and acknowledging the Christianly philan- thropic servioe which Mrs. Eddy has ren- dered this age, confess their inability to grasp its full import and significance. But this we do know and bear witness, that her life of sweet simplicity, spiritual de- voutness and self-sacrifice to God, the purity of her thought and purpose, and her devotion and faithfulness to the ex- alted ministry to which she was provi- dentially called, has made possible the healing metaphysically of all manner of disease, sin and suffering. Think what that alone means to humianity, and then ask yourself, What can I render in re- turn for all these benefits and blessings? “We do not worship Mrs. Bddy, our leader in this great redemptive movement, but we do respect and love her, because she first loved us, and has unreservedly given her life to this cause for all mankind.” Democratic County Meeting.

Offering to Congress Was Keg of Liquid WASHINGTON, April 28.—The death of Mark Twaln has recalled the incident of his writing a letter to Speaker Cannon in 1908 when he was engaged In working for & bill “in the interest of literature” as he expressed it. In his communication he asked for the privilege of the floor of the house. The original letter was found today in Speaker Cannon's flles and appears be- low. Mr. Twaln asked the thanks of congress as that action carried w.th it the privilege of the floor, The humorist's request caused much amusement at the time among mem- bers of the house, aithough it was not officlally acted upon, The letter follows: WASHINGTON, Dec. 7, | 1908.—"Dear Unele Joe: Please get me the thanks of congress—not next week, but right away.
