the traffic off IL" street.
Arrangements have been made with
the two horse commission firms locat-
ed at the old horse and mule barn
leasing the new premises to them.
The west half of the building will be
taken over by the South Omaha Horse
Il Mule company, an organization CON-
posed of about twenty-five active
horsemen who have been in the bus
mess at South Omaha for number of
years. They are progressive lot of
men and are booking large number
of the best horses that can be secur-
ed for their opening sale the first week
in January. 1t is their intention to
make this sale the formal opening of
the new barn and invitations have
been sent to all the prominent horse
and mule buyers throughout the Unit
ed States to attend. This firm will
have regular auction sales in the new
barn Monday and Tuesday of each
| week.
Walker & Blain pair of the best
posted hOrsemen in the business, who
have been doing horse commission
business in the old barn for the past
few years, have taken over the east
half of the new barn. They are now
skirmishing about getting consign-
ments for their first sale in the new
quarters, having been assigned We'd
nesday and Thursday of each week
for auction days.
The horse business at South Omaha
has always attracted considerable at
tention among horsemen, the general
consensus of opinion being that the
best horses, both of draft and driver
type, come from territory naturally
tributary to South Omaha. With the
new facilities provided, pronounced by
horsemen the country over to be the
acme Of perfection in equine hostelry,
South Omaha bids fair to become The
Horse Market of the United States.
The construction of the new barn,
as is the custom in practically all work
done at the Yards, was performed by
the company's own forces with the ex-
ception of the iron frame work, lay
ing of brick and putting on the roof
and glazing.
All iron work, brick, sand and crush
stone were obtained in the home mar
ket, and only such materials as were
not made or carried in this vicinity
were purchased from outside parties,
and in such cases this material was
purchased through local representa-
tives of such firms.

electris, 60-watt Mazda lamps connect
ed with the wiring overhead. Switch
es at the doorways in the south and
middle walls control the number of
lights desired for each alley.
Particular attention has been paid
to drainage and sanitation. The north
and south alleys have descending
grade of 1.04 per cent from the middle
east and west alley, and all east and
west alleys slope downward to the
east on 2.35 per cent grade.
The floors of stalls have fall of

ter and laid with minimum fall OF
| three feet in one hundred. These
sewers, and those for the surrounding
premises, connect with a twenty-four
inch sewer line which leads to the g.
foot sewer extending across the Stock
Yards premises.
For feeding purposes each stall is
| equipped with an iron combination
manger and hayrack. The hayrack
is placed on top of the manger plate
for horses to feed, with heads in a
natural position, avoiding waste OF
hay and leaving clear open space
under the plate.
Ventilation of the barn is provided
for through the installation at the
ridge of the saw-tooth roof of fifty
i four Burt Ventilators twenty-four inch
es in diameter, with sliding-sleeve
hampers for the regulation of air cur
rents.
In addition thereto, the middle up
per sash in each bay of windows be
tween trusses of saw tooth roof, can
be swung out and open. All windows
in the side walls have pivoted sections
in the sash which may be held open
at any angle for air and ventilation
Large hay and grain storage rooms
are located in convenient parts of the
barn, so an ample supply of feed may
be stored, greatly facilitating the feed
ing operations.
Commodious holding pens are stu
ated adjacent to the north and west
sides of the building to accommodate
the mule industry, this class of stock
showing to better advantage when
loose, in pens, rather than tied in
stalls.
The necessity for a driveway or
try-out track for displaying the merits
of horses broken to harness is an es-
sential asset to the modern horse

been provided for Immediately in

The barn is one story brick and
steel structure on concrete masonry
foundation walls and piers. The roof
is of the 'saW-tooth" type. The en-
tire floor area is paved with concrete
five inches in depth. Stalls, parti-
tons and stall posts are made of re-
enforced concrete units which are
fabricated separately, seasoned and
assembled and set in place as needed.
Tha building is divided into prac-
tically two equal parts by an east and
west brick wall, through which extend
eight of the main alleys across the
barn. These alley doorways, with
those leading into the barn-tWenty
six in all-have roller doors of iron
hung on inclined guides, excepting
seven for the south entrance, which
are steel roller lift doors), and are
self-closing upon being released.
The barn contains stalls for 1876
horses, selling arena of 80 by 1913
feet, steam heated with seating capa-
city for $50 people, three steam heat
ed Offices of brick, each IS by 10 feet,
lavatories, wash rooms, watering
troughs, and other features of inter
est for the comfort and convenience
of the business. All alleys are four
teen feet in width, giving ample room

The roof is a novel feature, being
constructed of 113 steel trusses, each

rows twenty feet apart, supported on
I-beam columns, carrying the purlins

That which has been the desire and
sole ambition of every horseman do
ing business at South Omaha for some
years past, has now become a reality.
These men of the whip and spur have
stood by with wistful eyes watching
the improvements being made in all
other departments of the South Oma-
ha Yards, hoping that it might be their
good fortune to see the horse market
carried on in a moderate, up-to-date
building. While the old facilities were
not of the poorest sort, the horse bus
mess was being developed to such an
extent that at times it had taxed the
ingenuity of the managers of the
various horse firms to provide accom-
odations for all of the animals that
we're being consigned to this market.
However, the management OF the local
yards has not over looked the import
ance of new and additional facilities
for this department., and while i'm
provements were being made daily
to facilitate the handling of other
classes of stock. the Yards company
were endeavoring to buy the two
blocks of ground lying Immediately
north of the yards between tx" and
az" streets on the north and south.
Boulevard and Thirty-first streets on
the east and west. Representatives
of the Stock Yards Company were
sent out to the various other markets
to get ideas of the facilities offered
the horsemen there, but returned with
the announcement that none were OF
the high standard which had been in
the mind of Vice President and Cen
eral Manager Buckingham. Orders
we're thereupon issued to the Engineer
ing department o. the Stock Yards
Company to draw plans for barn
that would surpass anything yet con-
structed in this line, to make it OF
proportions that would accommodate
from 500 to 1000 head of horses, to
be absolutely fireproof. sanitary and
of the most modern type OF construc-
tiOn.
That the point foremost in Mr..
Buckingham's mind in regard to these
facilities-"Perfect been &C
c0mplished, is apparent upon entering
the new Horse Barn, just completed.
The first thing that str--,e5 the eye
of the visitor is the matter of light.
There are, absolutely, no dark corners.
The appointments for sanitation, ven
tilation and light are ideal for the
purpose. Pure we'll water, clear and
cool is supplied in abundance through
out the barn, direct from the COM
pany's own water works plant.
