SEES A BRIGHT PROSPECT

Mr.. ]. c. Dold, manager o. tbs Kansas
City house Of the Jacob Dbl Packing com
pany. and the vice pras'ds1'. of that Ger
poration, spent three days of last week in
the city on business connected with the
large abattoir interests Of ihz company.
To an Eagle reporter he expressed very
glowing and encouraging faith and con-
hdence both in the splendid future pros
poets Of the city Of Wichita, and also re-
garding the steady and substantial growth
Of the local branch OF this packing con-
Germ. He reviewed the past several months
in the packing business, the past ana
present conditions of the provision mar
ket, and drawing from these operating con-
ditions, spoke at length Of the unques-
toned future - the meat trades and CO.
ordinate interests. His deductions were so
logical and clear-sighted that they are of
interest, since 10 more experienced and
conservative packer in the west is in
charge Of vast interests. He said the very
satisfactory outcome Of the Ang.o-Latin
war had let loose, as il were, any sup
pressed or suspended animation in all de-
partments Of industry and commerce, with
The. result of an expanding and reaching
out of every business activity. The net
earnings of the great railway interests,
the charging Of many large manufactur-
ing plants, as well as the establishing Of
new ones. along with the almost universal
boom in the building trades and in many
lesser lines, all pointed to a healthy and
legitimate growth past the experimental
stage. All this he, showed very easily,
must mean a large increase in the con-
Stunning power Of the nation, since labor
is employed steadily where year ago it
was not; capital is seeking investments,
and all affairs are tending to start the
meat consumption on the up grade with
an increment of natural velocity which
Will mean much 70 the packers ali over,
and the Dold interests especially. He spoke
of the high grade specialties and staples
of the Wichita house, and the attention
they are attracting from all over, >sast
as well as west but especially so IN the
southern states and the great developing
southwest. He paid a pretty compliment
along this line d the humble part the
Eagle had played in building up this i'm
portant local industry, and also to its edi-
tor-in-chief, NJ. NJ. Murdoch. Then he
spoke in rosy enthusiasm of Wichita as
the coming city, as distributing and man
ufacturing point, and as the natural topO-
graphical center OF an inexhaustible live
stock and agricultural zone, whose vast
resources are yet in the primeval state
the next decade to add new possibilities
TO both the tributary territory and the
best and only city in it, Wichita, vertically
the Peerless Princess of the Plains" He
said that Wichita sending a governor to
the capital of the state had alone won
wide attention from the financial and bust
ness centers of the far east and it was in
itself attracting attention to the city. He
believes in Wichia, in her capable and in
telligent citizenship, her Woodworking and
loyal business men, her financial institu-
tons. and in the steadfast loyalty of
everyone in the united endeavor TO make
a city here in the midst of the plains
which no longer are the sole property of
the coyote and the squaw-man, but
even today are blOssoming with the pro
ducts which make plenty for all the word

the improved conditions since last he Wis
