1910.
So safe are the methods of Ne
braska bankers that of the 107 bank
failures reported in the United States
in 1911 not one was charged to the
great Nebraska empire.
Manufacturing and Jobbing
Omaha's manufacturing and job
uing business annually amounts to
$3.50, 900, these figures including
the output of it's packing plants, To-
Gated in South Omaha.
Being located in an agricultural
state, its greatest activity naturally
centers in those things which come
direct from the soil. AS dairying
and butter center Omaha occupies an
enviable position, being the largest.
The annual output of the Omaha
creameries reached 10000, 900
pounds, figured on a basis of 80
cents, making a total of more than
$6,000,OO0.
Omaha's prominence in this re-
spect is due in large measure to its
live stock and packing facilities.
During 1911 Omaha was third, rank
ing only behind Chicago and Kansas
City. For the first six months of
the current year Omaha has out
stripped Kansas City. In 1911
6,550,377 head of stock of various
kinds were shipped into the Omaha
market, and of this 4,257,358 were
converted into meats and shipped to
all parts of the United States.
The packing houses of Omaha
turned out products to the value OF
$125,350,000 last year. Practically
two-thirds of this enormous amount
was paid in cash to the shippers in
the Omaha territory, and less than
per cent was sold back as meats
the remainder going to all parts OF
the globe.
Clearing House for Big Territory
AS a live stock market Omaha
draws from twenty-five states and
territories, but shipments from Ne.
braska, Colorado, Wyoming, Mon.
tana, Idaho, Utah and South Dakota
dominate. Kansas, Missouri, Iowa
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan. In
diana, Ohio and even Pennsylvania
contribute their consignments, and
as the industries develop in these
states so will Omaha develop as the
Omaha daily bee., 1912-10-20

South Omaha is the largest range
horse market in the world and occu-
pies the same position with respect
to range sheep. A packing house
demand does not of itself make
market. Many thousands of cattle
and sheep are shipped to the market
which are wholly unfit for slaughter.
These must be disposed of until they
are ready for meat. With its rich
agricultural territory abounding.
Omaha affords ready fields for the
further conditioning Of this stock,
and it is because of this fact that
Omaha has grown to be the largest
feeder market in the world.
As a Distributing Center
Since the needs of man outgrew
the ability of the individual to pro-
duce and commerce began to be
moved from place to place the fords
of the rivers and the intersections of
the roads have been the point at
which that commerce has halted. At
these stopping places the interchange
of the products Of man has necessi-
tated the building of towns and
cities.
Omaha owes its Importance as a
trading and distributing center to
this old world habit of man. Omaha
Is ideally located. Its natural ad-
vantages as stopping place for un-
loading and distributing to the great
undeyeloped western empire was too
much for the hardy pioneers who
travelled up the Missouri river in
their quest for the unbounded riches
which the west offered.
First Omaha was but an unloading
point; then one or two houses were
erected; finally railroad was built,
and then, when rail connections with
Chicago and the east were estab-
lished, Omaha was assured.
Today ten trunk lines OF railroads
center in the city, three on the west
and seven on the east. Eight thou
sand miles of railroad are operated
in Nebraska and 10000 in Iowa, with
Omaha as the focal point. Practically
all the freight, passenger, mail and
express service of these 10000 miles
is organized with respect to the in
terchange movement that passes
through Omaha.
1t necessarily follows that as pop
ulation in this region increases, and

that struggle was waged, but because
of it's portrayal of Cellini's monstrous
vanity, his total lack of truthfulness
and his absence of conscience.
He writes with calm satisfaction
about the killing of his victims, tells
of his alleged power to raise demons

reader that he himself was so utterly
