CORN FIELDS AND GRASS PLAINS
one OF the Most Prominent Live Stock Markets
of the Country.

The great live stock interests of this city
as represented by the Union stock yard
markets and the mammoth packing house
of Dold ara increasing daily in import
ance. Chicago, Kansas City and St Louis
are becoming patrons of Wichita's live
stock market, the latter city receiving in
one day the past week thirty-five car loads
of hogs from the union yards The Live
Stock Exchange hotel, located near the
yards, which is reached by a street car
line and by the motor line, presents more
life and activity each day. The ponderous
machinery of the Dold plant stops night
nor day, and about six thousand hogs
are, on an average, converted every week
into merchantable cured meats. The i'm
mense buildings of the new packing plant
of Francis Whitaker 81 Son, of St. Louis,
are being rushed along. The larger build
ings have reached the fourth and fifth
stories and hundreds of car loads of ma
terial and machinery are being delivered
The buildings Of this last named plant
cover acres of ground, and in beef and
hog capacity will even excel that of the
stupendous concern which stands on ad-
joining ground. The Whitaker plant, it
June with a capacity of FIVE thousand
hogs and five hundred head of cattle per
day. The representatives of the heav-
lest packing firms Of Kansas City
and of Chicago have been visiting
this city of late quite frequently
realizing as does everybody else that
whatever may become of like interests at
Kansas City. Chicago and Omaha it is Ger
tain that Wichita, located as she is with
reference TO the grass growing and cattle
producing ranges Of the west, aad in the
very midst of the great southwest corn
belt, must, inevitably, with her great and
complete railway connections, and her
cheap and inexhaust!ble salt supplies, be-
come one of the most prominent live stock
markets Of the country, where thousands
Of cattle and tens Of thousands Of hogs
will be slaughtered daily for the great AMI
NAL food markets Of the world.

THE REAL ESTATE MARKET

That the real estate market is looming
up in conformity with the revival IL all
other branches of business is patent to the
most unobservant. Several heavy sales at
stiff prices have been recorded of late and

more to the list, being transfer of West
Side property. to eastern parties, to the
value of $4,000. The papers for this sale
will go on record during this week. There

speedy consummation of a large sale of
acre property in different outlying sections

THOSE TwoNEw PREACHERS TO-DAY.

Two of Wichita's greatest congregations
being the two Oldest church organizations
in the city, the Episcopal, excepted, will
listen this morning each to new preacher
both strangers to Kansas, neither having
ever spent Sabbath day in the state. OF
course both churches will be crowded and
of course these two men wish this morn
ing that the ordeal of the day was Satisfac-
torily passed. Critical eyes will watch
for every expression, critical ears for every
word which shall fall, for every modula-
tion and effect of voice or gesture; and, if
these two, who have our sympathies, can
stand all unconscious of these blazing
nerve trying distracting rea,isms, and be
themselves as they utter the truths with
which their mission charges them, they
may sleep sweetly tonight, otherwise not.
We never could be a preacher or public
speaker never could unmindful of self lose
ourself in our theme and deliver that
which might be within our soul, with the
windows of a thousand other souls wide
open and literally devouring US. With
our sanctum door closed and blinds down
we can calmly sit and praise or score, IN
ruffied if not unstirred, our fifteen or
twenty thousand readers, because they are
with us every day, and are in no sense an
enforced audience, and can only disapprove
of what we utter by stopping their paper,
of which we will remain all unconscious.
But these men today must set themselves
up as living, keenly conscious target for
a thousand weapons, the aim of every one
of which, for veal or woe, will be unerr-
ing: However, the trying position will
not be new to either the men who occupy
Rev. Hewitt's pulpit, or that of Rev. Es
tes, for both come to us highly commended
as men of more than ordinary talent, ex-
perlence and culture, who know they
must face today people who compose the
highest and at the same time the most
generous, if the most restless, community
on the 4 AMERICAN continent.

building desired.

A CENTRAL MARKET.
Wichita Being hid-Continent is Nearer all
Markets and Ports than Any Other City.

The mighty empire lying west of the
Mississippi river, of which the state OF
Kansas IS the center and Wichita the cen
tral city, IS now attracting more attention
than any other section of the continent
The opeuing of the Oklahoma country di-
rectly south of this state is bringing more
people from the east and the west into the
state of Kansas than was ever brought
here before in her history at any one time.
The state of Kansas never presented such
beautiful sight as at the present time,
with her broad expanse of green fields of
grain and orchards loaded with the blos-
SONS, of spring foretelling the wealth of
this fall Never was there such
gathering Of the people
from every state and territory in this coun-
try within the boundaries of any state as
is presented today In the great state of
Kansas. And what does it mean? 1t
means the heralding to every portion of
the globe that the half has not been told
of Kansas. It means that the central city
of this mighty empire is again recognized
as the place which is to create a revolution
in the markets of the west as never has
been dreamed Of
Take up the map of the United States
and mark the location of Wichita as the
central city, and you will quickly recog-
nize the fact that Wichita is nearer to all
the great commercial-distrihut and
market centers of the country than any
other one city. Therefore, her market
commands the competition in trade be-
the north and the east and west. Galveston,
NQtxy nr.ln 1o%h 4 l,l LIE
will throw their business into Wichita to
compete with the business of the east.
California sends her fruits to this market
to meet the fruits of the south, east and
north. The forming of this great market
center which commenced bat few years
ago by the building of railways from every
point of the compass into it, is now being
carried forward to more quickly establish
the greatest inland city this country has
ever seen, backed by the concentration of
more capital and more railroads, backed
by capitalists from Boston, New York,
Cincinnati, CHICAGO. st Louis, Kansas
Ci.y, New Orleans, Galveston, Los Ange-
les. Denver, San Francisco and other
cities
1t is only a question of time when the
food products of the northwest will be
flowing through Wichita to the Gulf. The
great tidal wave which has continued for so
many years to eastern ports. must
necessarily be changed by the laws of
trade to nearer ports on the gulf to for
eign lands.
The immense trade of South America
and Central American ports which is be-
ing so rapidly developed by American en-
terprises, must necessarily come to the
gulf ports than be transported thousands
of miles in a circuitous and out of the way
course along the storm beaten costs of the
Atlantic to the great and growing empire
OF the west.
The demands of trade force the facilities
and today the facilities of the city are not
equal to the demand. But ever alive to
the best interests of the state and city the
men of Wichita are pushing forward with
a western energy to secure those facilities
which will insure all that can be expected
Of it.
