| committee be left TO the discretion of
| the trustees selected at the other meet
ing and the chairman of the meeting.
This motion was voted on and passed.
1t was then announced by Chairman
Naftzger of the board of trustees that
there would be a meeting at the Fourth
National Bank at 9 o'clock today to Sc
lect the committees to do the soliciting
in the city and country
Mr. Kos Harris was asked to read
letter from Governor Stanley concerning
the proposition. Mr.. Harris did So and
Governor Stanley says that he is much
in favor Of the project and wishes that
he could be here at this time in order TO
help rush the thing along He stated
that Wichita needed two packing houses
and even more, and that he knew that
they would take advantage the propo-
sition with all Of their old time energy.
Colonel Bean. who Is interested IN the
commission business at the stock yards,
stated that the laboring men were much
in favor of the proposition and that
large number Of them had offered to
make subscriptions to carry the thing
through.
These remarks from Colonel Bean call
ed Kos Harris to his feet and in regard
TO the matter Mr.. Harris said: 1--WE
must secure this plant from the profits
Of our labors and not from the money
OF the men who labor by the day for
small wages. This is a business PROPOSE
ton and the young men of the city are
the ones who should come to the front
and carry the thing through. It was the
young men twenty and twenty-five years
ago who brought Wichita her present
position. We must have this plant here.
Oklahoma cities are trying to get the
plant. Texas cities are trying to get
packing plants, and If we fail in this
thing 1t means another city will grow up
to rival Wichita in her livestock in
dustry.
Wichita had successfully passed Fort
Scott, Newton, and Emporia in the early
days Of this state and it was time that
the matter was kept advancing. It is the
duty of every man in Wichita to come
forward and help in this proposition"
Mr.. c. H. Smythe said: II came TO the
meeting with the intention OF giving to
this proposition and since I have heard
these speeches I am willing to double
the amount first thought Of" Mr..
Smythe's remarks were met with cheers.
Mr.. c. V. Ferguson was called for and
said: IT heartily approve of this move
ment and 1 am impressed with the pene-
fit such an institution win bring to his
city I came here when Wichita didn't
have. her wholesale houses and livestock
interests. I have seen the town advance
and know that such a proposition is a
good thing. No person who is not in &c
cord with this proposition is a true Wich-
tia citizen"
Father Then was in the audience and
was called on to give his idea of the mat
ter He said: 1T may seem out Of
place in my being here but ike to
mingle with brainy men. There is ide |
in affairs which leads 10 fortune ,r cher |
wise and this is the time that u che
should refuse to take advantage Of the |
There are interests which |
demand attention, and now IS the time to |
do this"
On motion Of Kos Harris, a committee, |
consisting of Messrs Moore, Healey, !
Paugh and Bean. were appointed to see
the farmers in regard to raising the $780,
COO
At this time there were several con-
ferences being held in regard to business
affairs Rev. Dubber was in the audi
ence, and when called on, said:
ct have enjoyed the meeting and am
pleased to come in touch with business
men. II seems TO me that il is a critical
time in the history Of Wichita She has
great possibilities as a city. A great
surrounds her and she has
4 chance to become a commercial /
center Of immense proportions. This is a
vital time and decision must be reach
ed. Other cities are reaching out after
this packing plant and If this proposition
fails it is for good"
After several minor matters Of bust
ness had been transacted. the meeting
adjourned to assemble within a few days !
