Two Packing Houses to he Erected at the
New stock Yards This spring.
Mr.. j. w. Williams, who has boon en-
| gagged of late years in the beef and pork
trade at Chicago and New York, and who
| formerly built and operated at Cincinnati
the largest packing house of that city, has
| been for some time negotiating with Della
ney d O'Connor and others, fer the build
ing and operating two packing houses, one
| for pork and The other for beef, in counec-
ton with the new stock yards Delaney &
OConnor are establishing between the Mil
waukee & st. Paul freight yards and
the railway bridge. The GLOBE is
authorized to announce that the ne
gotiations have been concluded and
that Mr.. Williams will, as soon as the wealth
or will permit, begin his building operations,
with the intention of being ready to COM
mence business about the first OF April, and
that he will, between now and April, expend
on the buildings and fixtures not less than
$4,000. The packing houses will be To-
Gated at the terminus of the stock yards
tracks, south of the stock yard buildings
The
PORK PACKING HOUSE
will have all necessary facilities for
disposiug of 400 hogs day,
and is planned to allow of what
ever enlargement of the business may be
hereafter decided on. The establish
ment will be complete in ev-
cry detail, including all the appliances for
rendering lard, curing hams and bacon and
preparing other hog products for the trade,
as we'll as packing pork. The
BEEF PACKING HOUSE
is planned for disposing of four hundred of
cattle daily, and, like the pork house, will be
a complete establishment, fitted with all ap-
planes for all beef products. The working
plans for both housts are already drawn up
and Mr.. Williams, who went TO Chicago yes
terday, immediately upon concluding his ne
go:iations, will return next week prepared to
have work on the buildings and apparatus
begun at once. He will bring to St. Paul
number of expert packing-house workers
aud all the capital which the business here
may require. His business connections
at Chicago and New York give him access
to all markets for disposal of the products
of his packing houses and his financial COIL
nections at New York give him all the back
ing that can besneeded. His enterprise we
regard as very
IMPORTANT ACQUISITION.
In Minnesota and the ad jacent territory
which has its market at st. Paul there has
been for few years rapid increase in stock
growing, and the farmers of the eastern set
tied portions of the New Northwest are
ready to greatly increase their investments
in that direction whenever they are assured
of a nearby market which will not be
easily over supplied. 4 considerable
part of our State and large part of Dako-
ia is especially adapted to stock raising and
as the Northern Pacific railroad is being e1-
tended westward it enters upon the great
cattle ranges of the Yellowstone and Upper
Missouri, from the latter of which Montana
is ready to send forward $4,000 head of cat
tie yearly. Mr.. Williams also, in his new
departure, is following the logic of trade de-
velopments. He has como where he can
have supply of hogs absolutely free from
disease, thing no Ohio river or Chicago
packer has seen for many years. He has
come to the point which is destined in good
time to rival Chicago in meat production,
as Chicago has rivalled and outrun Cincin-
natl. Louisville and st. Louis. All who have
the interests of st. Paul and the New North
west at heart will welcome this movement
for the more rapid development of a prom
ising industry and will wish all concerned
the rewards they aim at. We of st. Paul
particularly can see that the enterprise of
Messrs. Delaney & O'Connor is already
bringing its increase and give credit accord
ingly.
