START WORK ON new PLANT
L. r. Ryther Sets Force of Men to
Work Preparing Ground for
New Buildings.

Active work on the erection of the
new packing plant was taken up early
this week under supervision of L. r.
Ryther, the contractor. The contract
calls for the completion Of the struc-
ture by December LIST and efforts will
be put forth to have his part COM
pleted by that time.
In the meantime T.. T.. Hill, the
promoter and secretary of the pack
ing plant, will see to it that all neces-
sary machinery and equipment is here
in time SO there will be no delay in
placing the new plant in operation.
He went east this week to make the
purchases and to get his personal af-
fairs in shape SO he can make his
home here in the future. Before
leaving he signed q tifteen-year lease
of the twenty acres of ground belong
ing to the Rapid City, Black Hills &
Western road, with option of pul-
chase on thirty days notice.
Harry Ii. Hill, a brother of E. E.
Hill, will come to Rapid City when
the plant is ready to start. He is at
present employed with the r. Hurnai
Packing Co. of Sioux City, and like
his brother is an experienced packer.
r. Il. Hill has secured quarters at the
corner of Eleventh and Center streets
and his wife and tive-year-old son will
return from the east with him apd
make their home here.

MAY BUILD LINE.

r. j. Lisman, a banker who
represents the financial side Of
the Rapid City, Black Hills &
Western railway, was in the city
Saturday. A meeting was held
at the club rooms at which the
relations of the road to the
business interests Of the city
were discussed. The meeting
was very representative in its
makeup, and the statement was
made that the company would
extend its line from Mystic to
the Wyoming coal fields if the
city would extend patronage.
This offer met with approval of
all present, and the probable
outcome will be the extension
of the line. Before this can be
brought about Mr.. Lisman will
have to consult other hackers
of the road, but Us his recon-
mendation will be to build, it is
probable it will be agreeable to
them, as they are looking for
returns on the investment.
Rapid City will give the road
loyal support and will welcome
the extension with pleasure, as
it means getting in direct touch
with the coal fields and the
probability Of the city becom-
ing a supply point for this Sec
ton, and for that matter the
section west of the Missouri
river traversed by the North
western and the Milwaukee
roads.
In addition to the extension
Of the line the r. c., B. Fl. &
w. road contemplates the loca-
ton of machine shops here
and the building Of a modest
depot in addition to the build
ings now owned.

PACKERS AND HIGH HOGS.

The Chicago Drover's Jour-
nal, in an editorial reference to
the tendency Of the hog mar
ket, says that the buying Of
hogs at So. 90 and even higher
is not pleasing to the packers,
as it can hardly be deemed a
conservative business policy.
They desire to buy at $500 or
less, as they are on the verge of
the mess pork season and must
put up the product for winter
consumption. Continuing the
paper says:
Continued light marketings
do not forecast any 81. 90 hogs
in the Immediate future. The
country is still bulllsh, although
not as keenly expec Giant Of still
higher prices as was the case a
few weeks ago. One drawback
to further advances in the mar
ket is the slack shipping de-
mand. With retail prices for
pork meats at highest point in
many months, eastern consum-
! ers are finding that they can
I get along with q little less of II
than hereto fore, and the result
is 3 shorter eastern demand.
Too, the same situation exists
ia the local trade. With the

ALL indications are of a pros
porous year in Rapid City in
1910. The year will witness
the extension of the r. c., B.
H. & w. road to the Wyoming
coal fields; the building Of
shops and a depot for the COM
pany; the erection and opera
ton of $4,000 creamery and
cold storage; the erection and
operation Of a packing plant at
expenditure of $4,000; the
erection of a modern and COM
modious depot for the North
western; erection of new bust
ness buildings on Main street;
the completion Of the $4,000
garage building on Main street;
the erection of a school build
ing in North Rapid. Besides
all these improvements, now
practically assured, there will
be erected several hundred res
licences iii all parts Of the city.
It looks very much as though
Rapid City was destined to
grow until it becomes the pln-
cipal city IN the western half of

looked into conditions in nearly
all sections, indicating a short
age Of 10 to Is per cent in prob
able marketings in the winter
packing season, packers efforts
to get the hogs at a sharp de-
cline are expected to be fought
bitterly.
While there is need for a
moderate volume of marketings
in fresh meat trade, and this
will grow as the weather be-
comes cooler, the packers are
not likely to have much Of a
harvest of low prices. Their
long range boasts are that hogs
will be sent sharply lower when
the opportune time arrives,
but the lowering process,
which naturally must sooner
or later come, cannot be eff
fected except by the hardest
pounding tactics employed in
months past. This time the
hog growers have the situation
pretty well in had, because they
do not appear to be burdened
with excessive holdings and
their financial status does not
enforce quick unloading"
