for II.

r. J. Durham Of Chicago, president of
the Union Stock Yards company was i'm
South Omaha yesterday morning on one OF
the regular tours of inspection. He said,
Il am more than usually pleased with the
rapid progress of improvement in the South
Omaha yards. With the work which is at
present contemplated the South Omaha
yards will stand equal TO any in the west
In matters of convenience and economy.
1t is the opinion of all who are acquainted
with the west that Nebraska and the ter
ritory within reach of the Omaha markets
is entering on q period Of prosperity such
as the past has never known. Settlement
is bringing all the fertile land into the
fullest cultivation and prices are bound to
remain on a higher plane than during the
earlier history of western agriculture.
II expect to see the South Omaha yard
do a record breaking business this fall. We
expect to ave all things ready to receive
the consignments as they come. The plan
we have is to keep the improvements up
to date and a little ahead Of the actual
needs, because we expect a rapidly In
creasing business"
