Annual Meeting of the Union Stock
Yards Company Held.
AT the annual meeting of the Union
Stock Yards company, held yesterday
afternoon at the offices Of the COM
pany. a healthy majority of the stock
was represented and the election of
directors resulted in the choice of a
very conservative body of far-sighted
business men-ne1 who will see to it
that the future Of the yards is not
confined to the present rather straight
ened field. In the annual reports of
the executive officers a number of pro-
gressiye suggestions were made and it
is highly probable that the new board
will early consider the several import
ant matters presented for the first
time. With the return of open weather
a number of Improvements are to be
made at the yards. chief among which
| is the reserVoirfng of the surplus
waters and the cultivation of in the
neighborhood of $50 acres of the choic-
est lands embraced Within the tract of
! the company. This acreage is to be
planted to beets-sugar and other
Varieties-SeVeral kinds of hay and
some grain. The yield from the land
when properly cared for during the
coming season will enable the yards to
make some heavy feelings during the
I fall and winter. Already the prelimin-
airy steps have been taken looking to
the making of the proposed improve
lnents.

! ing for directors commenced and the
new board is made UP as follows
