WILL KILL CATTLE
Greater 0oId Plant May Be
Further Enlarged.
PLANS FOR BEEF COOLER
Have Been Submitted and
Location Considered.

Before the numerous buildings of the
greater Dold packing house are enclosed,
Manager Fred Dold has submitted a plan
TO the company to enlarge the plant, and
it is pretty nearly settled that Fred
Dold will have his way in this, as he did
in the rebuilding of the plant after the
big fire.
The proposition that the Dold company
is considering is the building of a beef
plant Fred DoId and superintendent
Charles Darrigrand have for some time
| been of the opinion that the killing Of
cattle here on much larger scale than
has ever been done before would be
paying business. They now believe that
they could depend on this market for the
cattle.
When asked in regard to this matter
yesterday Mr.. Dold said that he was not
expecting to buy all the cattle in the
country, but he believed that building
in which they could handle 200 cattle a
day could be made profitable. He said
-.ley would require all of the present
cooler for hogs. It was a good deal
larger than the old cooler, but they were
going to kill more hogs than formerly.
He said the problem now demanding sOlu-
Lion was where to place the beef cooler.
j was his idea TO have it on the south
Of the present large cooler, and south Of
the railroad switches, but there were
some objections to that location because
they would need some of the space in the
operation of the present plant.
Mr.. Dolu talked as If the only thing to
be determined is where to locate the pro-
posed addition. The new building Will
be built of brick and stone to correspond
with the other substantial structures
The killing of 20 cattle day would
make a vast improvement IN the bust
ness at the stock yards, and Wichita
would have good cattle market from
the start. The new building would cost
a good many thousand dollars more than
is contemplated in the present plans, but
it can almost be said that it will be done
Doid is going TO have one OF the best
hog plants in the country, and there is no
reason why he should not have a cattle
plant as well.
1t is now settled that the Dold house
will never be rebuilt at Kansas City and
the business of the firm will be conferred
very largely in this city. They have the
refrigerator cars to handle the beef
trade, and the cattle are nearer this place
than any other packing center. What,
then. is there to prevent the killing of
cattle here as well as in Chicago and
Kansas City?
The. cattle men here think that Fred
Dold is now contemplating the very thing
that will make him good money, and
make q great cattle market in this city.
They say the best cattle range on the
western continent for years to come is
going to be in western Kansas, and that
this will be the favorable location for a
house such as Mr.. Dold proposes to
build

of the weed, and when a patient has a
weak throat there is one thing that
positively insist upon, and that is that
he shall not ride in the smoking cars

The following was the response: 20
Lord, now that l have tagged thee. lift
up my feet from the rough road of life
and plant them safely on the deck Of
the train of salvation. Let me use the
safety lamp known as prudence. make
all the couplings In the train with the
strong link Of thy love and let my
hand lamp be the Bible, and, heavenly
Father, keep all switches closed that
lead off the sidings, especially those
with blind end. o Lord, IL 1t be thy
pleasure, have every semaphore block
along the line show the white line Of
hope that l may make the run of life
without stopping. And, Lord, give us
the Ten Commandments for a sched-
ule, and when / have finished the run
on schedule time and pulled into the
great dark station of death may thou,
the Superintendent of the universe,
say, We'll done, thou good and faithful
servant; come and sign the pay roll and
