his farm out on the Elkhorn-a farm he had
never seen. In addition to this il might

livery stable and feed lots on l. street a
short time ago and when he found that the
stock yards company paid better prices
than his COW yard company could afford to

his COW yard and sheds for something over
$4,000 which was double the amount he had
paid for the same property a short time

/ SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. !

0-0-W-S-0p-A-6- A-6-3-0-SD-ES-&- 900
a story has been current in financial cir
cles for week past regarding a proposed
consolidation of all of the packing houses
in the country In other words the scheme
was to form a gigantic packing house trust
which would control the live stock market
all over the United States.
e. A. Cudahy, vice president of the
Cudahy Packing company, was interviewed
yesterday on this subject, and he was in
clined to laugh at the idea. He said that
he had heard the rumors, but he had never
heard a word of the kind from a responsible
party. The meat packers, he said, had never
talked about the affair, and for that reason
he assumed that there was nothing in the
rumor.
In speaking of the same subject another
prominent packer said that p ID. Armour
would never lose his individuality by allow
ing his interests to be absorbed by trust
Mr.. Armour is now in Europe and cable
gram received here yesterday read that he
was in fairly good health and that the
reports of his serious illness were false
AS for a packing house trust he would not
consider it for a moment.
The same might be said of G. f. Swift
The Swift Packing company has built up a
trade all over the world and a representa-
tive of this concern asserted that Mr..
Swift would never consent to a combination
of interests, as he held his trade on the
merits of his products. Other packers
talked in about the same way, and it is
evident that while trusts in different lines
may be formed every day there will be no
packing house trust.
In case a trust was organized any one
of the great packing houses here could
handle all the business at this point and
only one live stock buyer would be neces-
sary. Armour virtually controls the stock
yards here, while Swift has the upper hand
at st. Joe and st. Louis. In Kansas City
and Chicago the controlling interests are
divided between several of the great packers.
So far South Omaha has not been afflicted
with a great trust and the prospects are
that it never will be. A prominent packing
house manager who talked about the mat
ter said that by the forming of the steel
trust 1900 men were thrown out of EN-
ployment, and as far as he was concerned he
would never vote for the organization of a
packing house trust on account of the large
number of men who would be thrown out of
work. More than this 1t would take an i'm
mense sum to purchase the machinery now
In use in the various plants If not used
daily this machinery deteriorates in value
rapidly and in year or two would be prac-
tically worthless. For this one reason alone
the packers assert that there Is no prospect
of a trust being formed

City Engineer Beal and Chief Engineer
King of the Stock Yards company made a
trip over the l. street yiaduet yesterday,
and Mr.. Beal expressed himself as we'll
pleased with the manner in which the stock
yards company had made the repairs di-
rected by the city council, The city en-
gineer asserted that the work had been so
well done that he would recommend TO the
council that the same construction gang
under Chief Engineer King be employed
by the council to repair the west 314 feet.
Mr.. Beal figured out that by having the
work done while the men and material are
still on the ground saving of at least $4S
would be made. AS the city has to pay for
repairing the west approach 1t is thought
that the council will fayorably consider
the recommendation of the engineer This
work will not cost more than $500, and II Is
thought that it can be done for possibly
$3.50.
