ing it also. they contracted for a very
extensive signal plant. The equipment
of this perfected service consists OF forty
separate alarm boxes placed at important
intersections Of the plant. Four night
watchTnen are on duty all night, and
each has ten Of these boxes to be re-
spOnsi5le for and each box is reported to
every half hour Each box in the course
Of the watchman's rounds must be re-
ported at a certain time. and If for any
reason any box should fail to register up
to ten minutes after the schedule time,
a special messenger from the company
down in the city would at once be sent
with all speed out to the Dold plant. In
case Of fire, the department know before
thev. weave their quarters just what part
of the building is on fire, since each box
is numbered and slated for one particular
spot Besides the superb night-watcn ser
vice which this provides, there are also
police and fire calls connected with the
service, and each morning the down
town company send a complete report to
the Dold company of ali registers and
happenings at the plant all through the
previous night, SO that It is easy 70 de-
termine at what point all the watchers
were at any given time. Mr.. Hans Mich
OILS, of Omaha, is here experimenting the
setting Of this fine service, and he came
directly here from Sioux City, and has
the country, and he frankly told Superin-
tendent Chas. d. Darrigrand that he was
surprised to ind here in Wichita such an
up-to-date and finely equipped packing
house, and was especially eloquent In his
praises Of the cleanliness Of all depart
ments.
The fertilizing plant is also being re-
fitted with new machinery. An air con
veyor which runs by a big fan takes the
product from the dryers and conveys it
through a series of pipes which take all
the heat out and cools it, leaving it per-
fectly dry. By the new process they can
make the raw product with so per cent Of
moisture and leave 1t, after passing
through the dryers perfectly dry and
cool. The new building now has forty
piers finished. and there are ten more
to 80 in. The weather permitting, the
st0nemasons will commence work on the
walls on Tuesday morning. Yesterday
there were eighteen more cars of mate
rial unlOaded and made ready for the
wOrkmen so soon as they need it. The
whole work will be rushed right along
as fast as the weather vii lpermit, and
next FAN viii see a splendid, new pack
ing house, finely equipped and modern in
every department. The past week has
been the heaviest in the season and ev-
cry department crowded to keep up with
daily orders. The specialties for which
the Wichita plant IS rar famed and all
the staple and standard meats have been
greatly in demand, and many cars of all
classes of packing house products have
been shipped out to the trade. Mr.. Fred
Dold is now calling in person upon the
large trade and meeting many old per-
sOnal business friends; while the able SUI
perinteudent. Mr.. Darrigrand. is care
fully looking after all the intricate de-
tails of the construction work.
