| in the near future erect a small cold stor-
| age such as the packing companies al
| ready have In Omaha. But there is no evi-
dence In South Omaha to warrant the belief
In any immediate plans which will affect
| this city.
/ The Swift Morris Il Fairbanks COM
pany has taken the preliminary steps
/ toward erecting a plant on the old Tom
Ryan property which has been In the
| possession Of the company for the past
| ave years. This lies just south of the
! present Swift plant 1t is said that this
! will be a tannery and soap factory and
| will also be Cor the manufacture of GER
! tain grades OF canned meats for the export
| trade. The first thing necessary will be to
secure the promise Of the railroads to
| build a spur track for the accommodation
Of the locality. IT may he that with the
| opening Of the spring construction will
| be begun, but this is not positively af-
rmed. No definite announcement Of plans
can be expected from the packing COM
panles while the Investigations in
progress in Chicago.
work on Hammond Plant.
c. p. Monshan and Q. w. Christianson
OF Chicago are in the city looking after the
interests OF the National Packing COM
pany and more especially to talk over the
plans of the company with respect to the
Hammond plant. Few people aware
! of the extent OF the renoystions being
effected there. They now have most of the
ground cleared west of the plant which
was formerly occupied by series of yards
and few OF the smaller buildings. 1t Is
in this place that the new power plant in
ali probability will be erected. Space for
great building has been cleared there
and if it il true that the pricpal plant OF
the National company Is 10 be transferred
from Chicago to South Omaha, it will call
for a powerful plant. The work has been
progressing rapidly and the buildings have
been stripped of the unsound timbers for
the greater part and the work OF recon-
struction can begin on large scale For
this work tho first consignment of new
timber has arrived. Before the week is
out there will be great piles of tinlbers
ricked up on the ground. Enough is on the
way to fill all the available space on the
side next 20 the street viaduct.
