first class freight. This alone was an item
of Importance in favor of the business and
provided the labor was as cheap here as IN
other shops the business could be handled
in Wichita at handsome profit.
After investigating the situation thor
oughly they decided about the first of the
year to go into the business. In
February last they commenced
work. The room occupied is twenty
fiveby one hundred and forty feet
the rear third being occupied by the shop,
which is supplied with all the machinery
necessary for cutting and shaping tin, cop
per and sheet iron into any form desired.
The front part of the room Is occupied
with made up stock, which is collection
of all kinds of tinware. Any order what
ever may be promptly filed, while all the
more common sizes are kept in stock. Fruit
cans of three sizes form part of the stock,
while there are many varieties of packing
cans. They are used for baking powders,
coffee, candy and drugs. Some kept in stock
hold fifty pounds and the smallest one
pound. They are found in twenty differ
ent sizes in stock but any special order Is
filled promptly Oil cans, oil tanks and
coffee pots occupy the shelves side by side
and no explosions have resulted so far.
The shop at present gives employment to
six men Mr. Butler looking after the sales

are one of the most important elements
in the growth of the city and their
influence is being felt more and more
daily. 1t is the number Of factories that
create a market and already Wichita IS

The Kansas Buggy company, which IS
conducted by practical and experienced
men, did not come here in response to any
specific inducement, but selected this
point for its business simply because 1t
was the best point in the state. The
soundness of their judgment has since
been verified, not only by the location OF
other factories, but in a much more pleas

the enterprise from the start.
The factory is Nos. ia and 116 North

wICHITA'S LIVE STOCK AND GRAIN
MARKET.

The Cincinnati Price Current of July
nth saws: "There has been an especially
liberal marketing of hogs in the west the
past week, packing returns showing 3D.
600 against POS, 600 last year, makinga total
of !. 055, 900 since March l, against 4,34O,OOO
a wear ago" Then it goes on to give the
receipts at the leading packing centers OF
the country from March 1st to July 18th
of this year as compared with the same
period in 1889. Wichita only lacking 1000
of packing as many hogs as CINCINNATI
during that time, and it was not many
wears ago that she boosted of being the
greatest pocking center in the world, and
was for years known as Porkopolis on that
account. Today Wichita is forging
ahead the latest of any live
stock market that ever started,
and with fair corn crop
in Southwestern Kansas this year, she
will by July l, 1890, will take her place the
fourth great live stock market and pack
ing center of the world, Ceicago, Kansas
CITY and Omaha only leading her.
The report of the Price Current shows
the number of hogs packed here since
March l to July 18th, 700 and for the
same period last year 10000, showing the
enormous gain of 3l214 per cent during
that period of the year.
shippers realize fully that this IS now
the best hog market in the country, and
all the farmers in Southwestern Kansas
have gone very largely into the raising OF
hogs, and by the time another year has
rolled around the receipts on this market
will average 5000 hogs a day.
There is a great deal of old corn III the
country and the farmers are holding 1t to
feed TO their hogs and cattle as they figure
that there is a much larger profit 10 them
by so doing, than to sell the corn. More
hogs means more packing houses aud ad-
ditions to the plants we already have.
Grain and live stock are the natural re-
sources of this country and are the indus
tries which should demand the greatest
attention of our people, for rightly man
aged it will make the upbuilding of city

IN MEMORY OF c. S. EBEY.

Friend OF my childhood, ever faithful
Has your spirit passed away?
VIII thy body soon be mingled
With the cold and silent clayl
Has thy kind heart ceased its beating,
Will thy voice no more be heard2
The heart that throbbed for duty only.
The voice that spoke but duty's word?
What hopes were promised TO thy future.
AS you climbed Hfe's rugged stair,
Overstepping broken places.
Tramping down the weight Of care;
And so joyously we watched you
AS you mounted up so high
On the rungs of fame's bright ladder,
Little dreamed we death was nigh.
And can death, the grim, sad monster,
Bury with him what you've donel
No, though you are now his victim,
Your good deeds WIN yet live on;
Live to cheer those left behind you,
Though inferior far we be,
We are left, why thou vert taken
Is Gods wondrous mystery.

THE CHISHOLM CREEK ARBITRATION
The Board Unable to Agree and Each Member
submits His Opinion.

The arbitration board between the city
and the Hydraulic Milling company to
determine the value of the Chisholm
creek water power, spent Friday together
trying to agree on the report. Each one
had spent day looking over the evidence
which, by the way, covered five hundred
pages of type written matter. They had
agreed to meet on Friday morning to con-
fer with each other as preparatory to
making report. 1t was at once evident
that they were some distance
apart in the total valuation,
originating partly from the fact that
each one had decided to make estimate
from different basis. One had figured
that the value of the power was to be
found in the amount of coal consumed
when the engine was running the cost OF
the coal and the number Of days per year
the water was used not calling for the coal
expense. Another thought it had been
shown that the water power was really OF
no value not reducing the cost of making
-four and figuring on the business OF the
plant the water power of no value. The
other thought the evidence on the part of
the milling company showed power worth
certain amount and the city
had introduced damaging evidence
cutting the value down considerably.
At the meeting yesterday morning the
members of the board finding it impos-
sible to come to an agreement formulated
a report and their work was ended. The
report was the property of the council and
milling company to be made public at the
council meeting tomorrow night. 1t IS
guarded very closely and no one allowed
to know anything of the contents. 1t is
believed the report will read as follows:
the Hon Mayor and City Council of Wichita,
Kan. and the Hydraulic Milling Company.
Gentlemen-We your committee of ar
bitration to whom was referred the matter
of arbitration of the value of the water
power of the milling company would re-
spectfully report to you that after care
fully considering the matter we are unable
to agree but report the individual judg-
value;

[Signed.l >. NJ. ALLEN,
J. d. HUTCHINGS,
r. +. LAWRENCE.
Wichita, Kan, July -, 1890
The arbitration lasted over one month,
and was accompanied by no little work.
The evidence was YoluminOus and showed
facts and opinions. The board found 1t no
easy task to assimilate and digest what
was thrown at them. When the result
becomes known to the city council it is not
apparent what action will be taken as the
vexatious question, as estimated, Will
scarcely be any nearer solution than it was
some weeks ago. According to the agree
ment the cost of the arbitration will be
met by the city and milling company
equally. The total cost is not yet made
out, but some connected with the matter
and familiar with the proceedings repre-
, sent that it will be between S4OO and $500
