Drovers' Telegram: The directors OF the
Stock Yards company were in session to-
day. In an interview with Vice Presi-
dent Morse this afternoon we were in
formed that there was a complete re-
organization. Mr.. Morse stated that the
old corporation has sold all of its prop
erty to two new companies. The Kansas
City Stock Yards company of Missouri
buys all the property east of the Kaw
river. The property in Kansas where the
quarantine yards are is owned by the
United States Quarantine Stock Yards
company. The reasons for the change
W5Te thus given by Colonel Morse: The
growth of the yards in recent yearas has
been toward the Missouri side as it was
the only direction in which they could
expand. All of the officials and business
transactions OF the company are in Mis-
souri,. including the feed department and
The shipping Office. The entire sales bus
mess of native cattle, calves and sheep
is in Missouri. The hog business will re-
main in the old yards for the present, but
a change to the horse barns is in con-
temptation. The reason given for the
formation Of the Quarantine company is
that the quarantine part of the trade is
distinct from all others at the yards. The
business is under the supervision of the
United States inspectors and should be
kept separate. This change in organiza-
ton to Missouri will not make any differ
ence in the application of the Kansas law
regulating stock yards. So far as the
business of the two companies is amen
able to the Kansas statutes those statutes
will be complied with. The property has
all been transferred and today's business
was on the new basis.
