THE WONDERFUL HEALrHFULNESs OF
WICHITA.

Outside papers and individuals have had
their fill OF dig ying Wichita in the ribs
about her lack OF sewerage, occasionally
winding up in prediction that before our
authorities had awakened to its necessity
the place would be devastated by general
sickness or by some fearful scouree or cpl
demic. Two or three miles of main. and
probably as much of laterals, have been
put down in kind of desultory kind OF u
way, or as it was forced upon the more i'm
portant buildings and blocks, while the
council has figured and estimated upon a
half dozen different systems, all warrant
ed to give complete satisfaction. But we
want to call the attention of the fellows
who have been prophesyiDg dire calamities
fellows whose own towns, as rule, have
not a foot of sewerage-tO the fact of
Wichita's wonderful health. Not only is
there an entire immunity from anything
like epidemics, infectious, sporadic or con-
tagious diseases, but the general health of
the city seems phenomenal. There seems
to be no disease of any character, no in
tantile ailments, while fatalities from
chronic diseases brought here are seldom
recorded. An abundance of pure, whole
some water-the finestSwater supply that
anv city was ever blessed with-together
with our open. bright sunshine and alti-
tude. no doubt, accounts for NIchita's
wonderful health.

THE AcKERMAN PACKING HOUSE.

Mr.. Alderman is preparing to rebuild
his packing hovse which was destroyed by
fire early in the spring. He expects TO
have it completed by fall. 1t will proba-
bly, be built this time of brick or STONE,
and in many ways it will be an improve
ment on the one burned. The new build
ing will have daily capacity for handling
about three hundred hogs. The site of the
new structure is uncertain. Mr.. Acker-
man says he has not room enough in the
grounds where the former building was
located He is now negotiating for proper
ty adjoining it on the north. The Mis-
souri, Pacific has signified its willingness
to put in sidetrack TO the building should
il OCCUPY TIE old site. Mr.. Alderman says
that unless he can trade for other property
adjoining he will be obliged TO seek loca-
ton in some other part Of the city. The
new packing house will make work for a
number of men.-Commercial.

STATE FIKEnEN,s ASSOCIATION.

7. ]. Edworthy attended the meeting OF
firemen at Wichita last week as a member
OF the executive board to consult in the
matter of receiving the companies of the
southwestern part of the state into fellow
ship with the state association The inter
view turned out successful and these com
panies disbanded their organization and
joined themselves with the state aSsocia-
ton.
As Wichita has paid fire department,
it has been suggested that the word vol
unteer'' be expunged from TIT name of the
association.
The next annual meeting of the associa-
tion will be held at Solomon City, from
whence the organization origina.ed) next
September.
Mr.. Edworthy speaks highly of the man
ner in which the chief, his assistant and
the fremen of Wichita treated him and
his colleagues, and says the Wichita fire
deparsment equals in efficiency any de-
partment of like size in the country.-Ex.

WICHITA WANTS A BIG CANNING FAC
TORY.

Nearly all of the big enterprises, in the
line of factories and industrial enterprises,
heretofore proposed, which are now APP
preaching completion. the last, the great
wire nail factory having its foundations
in, the EAGLE desires to call the attention
of foreign capitalists and experts to the
fact that no city in the United States OF
which we have any knowledge offers the
inducements in the way of central mar
ket and railway facilities for reaching
after markets, and OF cheap surplus pro-
auctions, such as are usually canned, as
the city Of Wichita. Canning establish
ments located here in the lines of beans,
peas, tomatoes and corn, would lind such
unlimited supplies as to be able to COM
pete with the world and still retain big
profit margin. Thous ands of acres of to-
matoes within la Illus of forty miles OF
this city will go to waste this season.
Green peas of the finest quality
and string beans are so abundant
that the market is glutted, Mr. j. =.
Rhodes, market gardner Informed US
yesterday that peas have been given away
this week by producers rather than haul
them back home, and that within mile of
his garden was hundred acres of mag
niicent tomatoes going TO waste for the
want of market. The radius of valley
alluded to, of which this is the center and
the principal market, is capable Of pro-
ducing the things mentioned in quantities
sufficient to make train load every day
of canned goods. There would simply be
no limit to the production of string beans,
butter beans, green peas, green corn, and
of many other things had we canning fac
tories of such capacity as could take care
of fruits, especially cherries, pears, ETC.,
and of small berries would be also quite
supply Without doubG Wichita offers
the greatest opening for capital and expert
knowledge in the line of canning factories
offered by any city market in the United
States.

Wichita eagle., 1888-06-17

neer is in charge of this department of the
building.
The building is well supplied with fire
escapes, there being al iron escape from
each Of the floors by the rear
The design for this building was made
by Dumont & Hayward, the well known
architects. The work was under the super
intendence OF Thomas Jewell, whose very
name is guarantee of the faithfulness,
the thoroughness and the excellence of the
workmanship.
The cut stone Of the front was furnished
by the steam stone mill OF Balance &
Jaus and they were set by Messrs- Green
& Thomas. Tie brick work was done by
Hockham s Scnray.
Ben Downing had charge of the car
pentery and the stair work was done by
Robert Carson.
The steam heating is from Mr., Stock
myers.
The plastering was done by Mr.. Tunock.
The plumbing and gas fitting, another
job of work of which too much can not be
said in praise, was done by j. Giles Smith.
The cornice work came from the Eagle
cornice works. and the excellent job OF
painting, as was before stated, was done
by Lee and Vieie.
Such is this magnificent building; and
as will be seen, the work was done and the
material furnished by Wichita artisans,
workmen and merchants. The cost has
already reached 5000, and there is yet
other work to be done around the build
ing before it may be considered as entirely
finished Ii is a structure however, OF
which this city. as well as any other,
might well feel proud. AS an elegant and
richly furnished business building, it
stands unequalled in this state. 1t is. too,
a most striking memorial to the enterprise
and worth as a citizen of him whose name
is inscribed upon its front, "Zimmerly,"
as we'll as to the wife who SO faithfully
carried out his long cherished plans.

There is not a single chestnut in the
wording and designs. Everything is of
the first class, and the manner in which it
is done adds greatly to its effect.
The Santa Fe train will not be decorated,
while that of the Missouri Pacific will
bear some very appropriate notices.
1t is certain that between five and six
hundred people will leave this morning
for Chicago.
The Santa Fe leaves at a. m, Rock

we can give be theirs.
