%CHEYENNE'S CREAMERY.
The 6utter Company's Building
Nearing Completion.
A Fine Double Walled Structure
Heated by Steam.
Colorado Changers Will Furnish a
Portion of the Cream.

The Cheyenne creamery building, now
more than half completed, was inspected
by a LEADER reporter yesterday under
the guidance Of Geo. A. Draper, presi-
dent of the company. The establishment
will be n of the most costly and best ar
ranged plants in the west.
The building, which is sixty feet long,
twenty-eight feet wide and one story and
a half high, resembles in appearance a
school house or chapel, being topped by a
pretty cupalo. The walls are double,
outside wood and brick within, with air
chambers between. The rooms will be
lighted by double windows.
In the main building are seven apart
ments. A boiler room and coal house
combined adjoin. The structure faces
east and is fronted with a high platform
extending its entire width. TIE office
and receiving room are side by side.
The cream seller drives alongside the
platform and unloads bis cargo. The
cans are empted in a huge vat and washed
at once. Cream, is piped from the re-
ceptacle to a pair of churns in a cement
tioored room. Here also is the butter
workers stand. In the rear is a capacious
refrigerator and u storeroom. By an in
genious arrangement the handling of
cream after its entrance to the establish
ment is almost entirely obviated. The
floors of the rooms in which it is treated
are cleverly arranged in tiers, the office
and receiving room being above the
churning room.
a six-horse power engine will furnish
motive power and heat the building as
well. The latter undertaking is a most
delicate task, requireing great care, as the
temperature of a creamery is the most
important of its conditions.
Water will be pumped from a well at
a north window of the draining room.
Plenty of pure fluid can be secured at a
small distance from the surface.
The drainage problem solved itself.
The creamery is but a few yards from an
~irrigating ditch and the waste water will
be conveyed from the premises through
this channel. The site of the building is
a slight elevation and the grounds will al
ways be dry.
The company has already been pledged
the cream resulting from the milking of
300 COWS, $50 of which are in Grover,
Colo, a town on the Cheyenne & Bur
lington. An agent will gather the cream
and forward it. The remainder will be
transported on the Cheyenne &Northern or
bought in the vicinity Of Cheyenne. Mr..
Draper has experienced considerable diff
Guilty in engaging ranchmen to furnish
cream, but believes that all obstacles in
the direction will be removed. An unrea-
sonable price canno be paid Tor the pro.
duct, as the Cheyenne creamery must
enter into direct competition with Ne,
braska and Colorado concerns and should
not be handicapped. In dealing with
owners of cows it is noticeable thar, while
the old. timer views the creamery project
with distrust, the late arrival eagerly EN-,
braces the opportunity to convert cream
into cash. The early settler scarcely
thinks it worth while to care for a COW
unless several dollars per diem is realized
from the enterprise. In the words of a
home butter enthusiast, these men must
come to their milk"
A supply of cream sufficient to warrant
the starting of the machinery has been
promised. The plant is en- route from the
East and will probably be placed in posi-
ton the latter part of this week. The
Cheyenne creamery will be started moi
later than May |.
In connection with the creamery, pork
for the home market will be furnished,
Hogs will be penned neal the creek, hall
a mile from the creamery, and fed upon
the refuse from the establishment. 1t is
expected that this branch of the business
will return a handsome profit, as Nebraska
grangers are growing wealthy by for.
warding dressed hogs to Cheyenne.
The new industry deserves and viii
doubtless receive the patronage of every
resident of the city. 1t is estimated thai
$4,000 is annually expended by Chey,
enne butter-eaters. Hereafter the greater
portion of this sum will remain at home.
