o —— L ANOTHER 0L LANDHARK GONE aily Hotel, at Ninth and Farnam, Gives Way to a New Structure. WAS BUILT IN EARLY DAYS The wrecking of the old three-| story frame hotel building at Ninth | and Farnam streets, directly south | and across Farnam street from the ' Union Pacific’s old marks the passing of another of the pioneer landmarks of Omaha. It marks the obliteration of one of tie links connecting the early History! ( of the city with the present. ! The old hotel building that is now being demolished by the wrecking| h crew was known from coast to coast | in the days when Omaha was in its| vaddling clothes and was known as | i hostelry of considerable impor- | tance, but a few years ago it de-| generated into a cheap boarding and gdring house and such it remained until it was determined to raze it that a modern business house might be erected upon the site. The old hotel building that was originally kn>wn as the Edwards’ hotel was erected close to fifty years ago and while it has been standing and occupied as a hotel for nearly half a centurv eration of Omahans_ ' upon the i stage of acfiuu, played their parts and passed on, but during all these years the old hotel has withstood the ravages of time and even now the wreckers are finding it in pretty good condition, Omaha Needed a Hotel. Along in 1867, although Omaha was only a frontier town, owing to the great amount of travel passing } through its gates, there was a de- mand for more hotel facilities, In those days there was a Dr, Isaac Edwards residing here. He had ac- cumulated a comfortable fortune and being public spirited he concluded to erect a hotel. Ninth and Farnam streets was selected as the site and property bought there. Plans were prepared and at a cost of $21,000 dur- ing the summer of 1867 the hotel was built. The timbers used in the construction were framed in Chicago and shipped here. Carpenters and other mechanics from there came along to do the building. Named it Edwards. Having completed the hotel to per- petuate his name, Dr. Edwards called the new hotel the Edwards, and a Mr. Godfrey, who later\platted God- frey’s addition to the city of Omrha, became the first proprietor, From the start the hotel was popular. Dure ing the Godfrey regime it housed ntany notables who were coming to Omaha as well as those who were go- ing on farther west, but made this a stopping place for a time while mak- ing the journey. For two years the hotel continued 1s the Edwards and then {t was sold. With the sale there came a change of name and for some years it was known as the Casement, in honor of one of the men who had the contract for the construction of 4 long stretch of the Union Pacific grade. Paddock Takes Charge, The following year a new proprie- tor in the person of Senator Pad- dock came onto the scene and took charge as proprietor. With his com- ing the name of the hotel was again changed and this time to the Wyo- ming. It continued as the Wyoming for a number of years, Senator Pad- dock being succeeded as propriecor " by John C. Higby, sr. Then the late Harry Gilmore had a season of hotel proprietorship and then Ira Higby was the proprietor, As years passed and business com- menced to move west the Wyoming lost caste as a first-class hotel, but it continued to be a home-like place for those who were not seeking too much style. With the passing of time it became known as the Elsas- ser and for a period was conducted by Jacob Elsasser. Subsequently it was known as the Canfield and as such it remained for :several years, being conducted by George Canfield later to become the Faris and still later the Daily. The Daily stuck to the hotel for [ several years more and as such it was known until not long ago, when this name was dropped and the place be- came a lodging house. ‘ ( Ralston i | Social Gossip 9 ‘ Miss Florence ;Mills has returned|: to her home in Lincoln after a visit at the F.

I i THE GASOLINE PROBLEM SOLVED The process has been in commercial use for over two years, has been subjected to the severest tests of experts and millions of gallons of the product have been sold at the highest market prices It requires less than two minutes to convert 40 per cent to 50 per cent of a kerosene distillate into gasoline. The process requires very small investment for ‘plant, and extremely low cost for operation and other known processes. | .
