KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS.

.westward the star of empire takes it's course" was said many years ago by statesman who looked into the future with nrophetic eye. He saw the gradual trend nf nrogress was toward the broad prairies Inf the West and the free sweep of country toward the setting sun became the Mecca of thousands of hardy pioneers. what IS true of the people as whole IS true or inc individual business. But few years ago the center of the live stock inlnstry of the nation was at Buffalo. N. I. Thence ii went to Cleveland O.. and Pituspurg' Pa. Chicago soon took 1t away from Sln- cinnati and to-day Kansas City Is running a neck and neck race with the biz, city bv the lake for supremacy. Being at the gateway of the wonderful West she makes the first bid for live stock coming m rom Texas. Colorado, Kansas, Indian Territory. Oklahoma. Nebraska, Wyoming and m facS all of that magnificent territory known as '.beyond the Mississippi.
 The result is one of natural selectloh-a survival of the fittest. Kansas Clty IS the natural market for live stock Of all deScLlp tio1s The stock yards company reaizes this and has here builded such an m mense depot for the reception or stoch that it's enterprise has become one pr tns

os.tion. Kansas City stands in the front rank as a commercial city. her banking and trust companies taken as the criterion Her national banks are widely and favora- ply known as being both sound and liberal in their dealings with their customers. Dur ing all the panicky times in past years, when other cities were in the throes of disruption because of the fears for their banking institutions, tho banks of Kansas City stood firm and never showed the slightest indication of weakness or un- soundness. Even in the closest times. when mems souls were tried as by fire. these banks continued to stand by their custom CTS. and tided many business man over the shoals of temporary weakness
 During the boom period. the period of municipal imitation, the banks stood for Kansas City and did all in their power to break the force of the unstable conditions fuI is evidenced by the fact that not ore of them was injured by the derreciatioil of values which followed this period. Fol- lowing close upon the heels of the boom came the general stagnation of the coun- try. when bank after bank in other cities went down before the storm. In Kansas City the banks were on such a sound basis that the general disaster was to them but the furry of wind in 9 summer zephyr. They had passed through their crisis and were prepared for any storm that might come.
 As they were then so they are to-day. The crisis has been passed and the insti- tutions which handle the money of the people of Kansas City are now so strong, so sound, so substantial, that they can weather any storm that may come to the financial world. Among the cards of busi- ness houses published on another page are to be found the names of those institutions which have the confidence of every person, not only in this, but in all other cities. and in all the tributary country surrounding. The national banks of Kansas City, and the three most important trust companies. as shown by the cards, do business that speaks we'll for the commercial standing of the city. They safe and conserva- tive so far as doing business Is concerned. yet they give such assistance to the com
 munity In general by their broad policy of management that no business man Is ever harassed into financial trouble so long as his own policy is such as to inspire con- fdence in his business methods.
 As the banks are Is the city, has be- come an axiom in business circles. and Kansas Cfty's banks speak for the stability
 of Kansas City's business men.

MANuFA AcTuRE. OF ICE.
Big Square Blocks Of Goodness Turned Out From the Purest of
 Water.

It is the common suppesition that mapu- factured ice is not pure because it is made with chemicals. In Kansas City the man. ufacture of ice is already a large industry, and should anyone desire to have his or her mind disabused of the erroneous idea of chemical manufacture, ali he or she has to do is to pay a visit to the factory or the Grand Avenue Ice Company, whose card appears orl another page, and set all doubts at rest Ammonia is used to pro- duce the cold, but it does not come in con tact with the water-it simply circulatss around on the outside of the pipes The water is filtered and distilled first, so that it is absolutely pure. The old idea that natural ice is pure because water. puritles itself when freezing has long ago been ploded and the really pure ice is that which Is manufactured. The proprietors of the plant, which was built by the Colum- bus Ga, iron works, Messrs. Trask and Hudson, extend cordial invitation to all, Iadies included to visit thelr plant and wit ness the operation of purifying the water and congealing it.

FLOUR EXPORTING.
Kansas City Does an Enormous Busi- ness, but Makes Very Little
 Noise About It.

While Kansas City has never placed her. self in the same class with Minneapolis as regards the manufacture and exportation of flour. it is a fact that there is a busi. ness done here in the staff of life" that the big fiouring cities would be very glad indeed to handle. The best wheat section in the world lies at the doors of this city. That it is true, we need but cite the fact that the wheat which makes the best Min neapolis flour is bought in Kansas. The firms which handle the hourl in Kansas City have worked up trade that now extends all over the world. and the ex- cellence of the product has so increased that the plants are running full force all the time and cannot supply the demand.
