WANT WICHITA STREET OPENED
West End Tax Payers want street
Opened @OuEh OF Douglas.

There is a strong movement on foot
among west end business men TO have
Wichita street opened south Of the ave-
nus from Douglas TO Maple. it is pro-
posed to open the street through south
on a line with the vacant ground between
Ben AcLeau's lumber yard and the Mis-
souri, Pacific depot, and running from a
point on Douglas avenue where the
ShInebricker wagon shop stands south
to Maple street
This would make a cutoff or Jog IN
the street, but is considered the most
advisable plan BY the supporters of the
project, as there would only be one piece
OF property 10 condemn and tnar would
pc that where the wagon shop stands.
1t is understood that the eastern people
who own the lots adjoining on the west
have expressed a willingness TO donate
TO the city q portion OF their ground in
order that the street may - opened
The tract of land back of this property
and running clear to Maple street is OWL
ca by Frank Swarcz ard his 1ather-in-
law. and they are anxious TO have the
street opened, and in that event they VIII
plat their lana.
Just prior 70 the panic Of 1893 the pres
ent owners came into possession Of this
land. At that time the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railroad was expected 10 build
to Wichita from Parsons, and the land
was bought because the road was ex-
pecte1 To 30 through ABOUT IN CnaI Vi
cinitr H. vs.. Lew Kos Harris and other
Wichita men formed a syndicate TO buy
the land, expecting It to be taken o.
their hands by the aKty people. Along
came the panic and the road passed UP
Wichita. for which they are doubtless
sorry and the zeal was on.
Now. AR Swartz is anxious 10 see the
street opened and the land built up and
the most of the West End husters are

ness, and there is no reason Why the

with business and residence houses.
a petition was introduced at the last
meeting Of the council asking that lie

advisabHity OF going through on line
with the west end Of the Missouri Pa

to the public Improvement committee and
the city attorney. ard fl is understood

FINE YEARS SHOWING
Splendid Future for Meat
Packing Industry.

wichita is an established packing cen
ter. Recognition has come. The packing
industry Of this city has gradually grown
from very little TO a very important
enterprise. Each year shows an increase
over the preceding year. And the large
number OF hogs killed and cured each
year is attracting the attention Of meat
interests AL over the country. The D0-d
Packing company and the Francis Whit
Iaker Packing company were the FIRST In
the heId, and the D0ld Packing company
have year by year Increased their facli-
ties and capacity and have steadily stood
by the market and bought the hogs Up TO
their limit. The ohm Cudahy Packing com
pany have only recently commenced to
operate in this city, but are active in their
work, and the combined output OF the two
houses VIII make of this city yet one Of
the most important packing centers Of
the world.

has packed 1900 hogs. and for the same
period Of last year the number was z4o99.

showing and the Increase IS among the
