ing scheme which THE HERALD has repeat
edly mentioned is at last revealed.
1t is so vastin its proportions and sweep
ing in its projections that the mere an
nouncemcnt of its purposes will create a
sensation and set property values rocking |
to adjust themselves to the new order of |
things. While the Commercial street eX-
tension was big enough to occupy the |
thoughts of many men in this community, |
the gigantic scheme of organizing manu-
featuring district and establishing popu- |
lous city in North Salt Lake was quietly
being consummated.
The scheme Is nothing less than to repeat
here what was accomplished at Omaha.
The following facts were learned from
w. c. b. Allen, one of the leaders in the
enterprise:
An important real estate transfer was
made Tuesday. This was the second move
being made by two or three large syndi-
Gates, who are preparing to establish
SOME IMPORTANT ENTERPRISES
north of the city, and to organize manu-
featuring district, establish union stock
yards, iron and smelling works; open up
new addition and driving park; build a
suburban motor line, etc. This sale in
rludes $50 acres of level land adjoining the
Cooper farm, recently sold for Sl50,000 and
which was made to w. G. b. Allen and as
sociates for the sum of ST., 600. Out Of this
tract it is proposed to reserve from eighty
10 one hundred acres for manufacturing
sites, to be used under the auspices of the
chamber of commerce as bonus for such
enterprises as may be deemed worthy of
endorsement. Certain conditions, of course
viii be required by the chamber of com
IN fraa rnannfaptUrlpcr sites
BIT the movement is in the right direction.
T'rom other sources il is learned that
three syndicates control 2, 200 acres of land
in one solid tract and that the purpose of
this generous grant to the chamber of COM
merce is with a view to sell their lots to
THE THOUSANDS OF LABoRERs
that will be employed at the stock yards
and in the rolling mills, smelters and other
manufactures.
The extension of the electric street rail
way to Hot Strings is part of this plan,
rs it will be within two miles from the
heart of the proposed manufacturing dis
trict.
The sale of the Cooper farm and the
driving park scheme, which was published
exclusively in The HERALD several weeks
ago, was but another adjunct of the great
manufacturing district
w. &. B. Allen was for five years secre-
tary of the Omaha board Of trade, and at
The time that certain individuals quietly
bought large tracts of land south of that
sity from the farmers at a small acreage
price. Placing it in large syndicate, they
sold S3,000,000 worth of property from it
during the first three years of their exist
ence.
WHAT THE STOCK YARDS DID FOR OMAHA.
The location of the Union stock yards on
this land built up city as if by magic.
The Union stock yards and the various
packing companies give employment to
from 1900 to 1900 men. The building
trades give employment in season to about
BOO men. During 1889 there were erected
l06 structures, valued at S412, LOG. The
Omaha cooperage works are now in opera
lion, giving employment to a large number
of men, having capacity Of 200 tierces per
day.
During 1889 there were carried on the
Union Pacific suburban trains 496, 391 pas
sengers between South Omaha and Omaha

Jtantial and rapid growth of Omaha thar
The extensive stock yards and packing
houses. The yards now have capacity fol
10000 cattle, $4,000 hogs and 5000 sheep
Fifty-three acres of ground are covered BY
pens ana tracks. Three locomotives ar,
used for switching the cars in the yards

Of the ground occupied by the plants.
During the season of 1SSS-S9, Armour
Cudahy Packing company packed
1921 hogs, of an aggregate valu
\ of S5,051, 54l, and 46,349 cattle o
, an aggregate value of $3.50, 155, and g.
sheep, of an aggregate value of SOB, 722, tn
years. business aggregating over Sc, 600
GOO.
Another concern, the Omaha Packin
company, killed 81, AS hogs during III
year.
Swift Bros buildings cover three acre
and have capacity for 1000 hogs a day.
The Hammond company killed 157, SO
hogs. &c, 76S cattle and IL ,099 sheep.
The total slaughter of these four house
s34. 427 cattle and 49, 249 sheep.
Total number of men employed in fou
packing houses, 2,442; estimate of wage
paid during the year, s., Az, 900.
While Salt Lake cannot expect to equ;
this record it can take care of the hog pr
duct of Utah as well as that of WyomIn
* and other territories and snatch a fe
SJporkers from western Nebraska.
What the North End manufacture
company will lack in hog twill more tina
make up in the manufacture of iron and j
its gre;St lead smelters. The value of roll
ing milk to a city was given in Sunday
HERALD so that any allusion TO their contr
buttons to the wealth and population of
city is unnecessary here.
May the North End boom, and ever
other end of this never-ending city.
