Another New Industrial City Across the
Bay.

Another New Industrial City Across the
Bay.
Another Industrial city Is sprInging rap
idly into prominence across the bay. The
aims and advantages OF this new suburb of
the great metropolis are set forth fully in
the advertising columns of to-day's CALL.
The Union Stockyard Com pany, the pro-
moter of the gigantic enterprise, is starting
out in the proper manner to make a success
of the undertaking. Already an immense
amount Of work has been done and large
sum Of money expended on stock pens, pack
ing houses, railroad tracks, wharves, townsite
and hotel Still the work is but fairly un-
der way, only beginning it may be safely
said.
The managers Of the Union StOckyard
Company will add much to the prosperity
of California in establishing a ready and
reliable livestock market for the whole
State, aud at the same time do much for
San Francisco In supplying the city with
meats of the choicest quality. The I'm
proved methods employed at RodeO will do
not little to redeem this section of the
country from the disgraceful old way Of
slaughterng animals.
Necessarily there is some cruelty in any
mode of dispatching the animals we are
pleased TO call dumb for mans use, but the
agony Is very pr0tracted by the slaughter
ing processes which have been followed on
this coast, and in addition the amount of
waste is very unsconOmical, and the meat is
not sent to market in the prime condition 1t
Is In Chicago All this will be changed by
the new company, and business started
which may have far-reaching results over
the western half of the United States. This
is one of the enterprises that an association
Of capitalists can undertake with credit and
benefit 10 the whole community, and within
short time San Francisco may take its
place as the center Of a great meat supply.
The new city across the bay will have re-
ligious services for the first time to-day.
