MOTORS TO DENVER VA
OLD BLACK HILLS TRAIL
o. Ness, Former North Dakotan,
Finds Automobile Roads in
Good Shape

An important new trail from Bis
marck to the southwest has been
blazed by o. Ness, a Sheridan county
man, who has just beat through in a
Maxwell from Bismarck to Denver,
via the old Hlack Hills trail and the
Lincoln highway.
Mr.. Ness, desiring to reach Denver
by the shortest route, called upon tho
Commercial club when he arrived in
the Capital City and was advised to
try the historic Black Hills trail, over
which practically all the supplies for
the new mining camps were trans
ported forty years ago. This route
Is severay hundred miles shorter than
any other, but the Commercial club
at that time had no dependable ad.
vice as to the condition of the roads.
Mr.. Ness, decided TO take chance
for the benefit Of other autoists and
agreed to write the club upon reach
Ing Denver, as to road conditions.
Mr.. Ness writes from Denver: I'VE
drove from your city to Mott, then to
Lennon and to Sturges, via Ada,
Chance, Eixby and Meddoe. The
route was then from Sturges to Rapid
City, Edgemont, Ardmore, Harrison,
Van Tassel to Burens. From this
point we took the Lincoln highway
into Denver, via Cheyenne. The
roads were as good, as could be ex.
pected. Still there are hundreds Of
miles of Indian trails that should be
improved

Purchased Beef

Purchased Beef
The Drake building was secured by
purchase.
In 1884 the abattoir was again open
ed for business. and by September
the branch houses at Helena, Bis.
marck, Fargo, Erainerd, Duluth and
St. Paul were ready. Strengthening
was continued until shipping closed
which was about the end Of NOvemb-
er, when to supply the branch houses
beef was purchased in eastern mark
cts.
While none of the packers had dis.
tributing houses in St. Paul, at this
time, dressed beef was shipped in
from Kansas City and sold from re-
frigerator cars. Butchers had been
killing, in their own slaughter houses,
from day to day as meat was requir-
ed. But a change in the butchering
business had been, and was, taking
place. Many butchers were learning
that it was a saving to purchase beef
dressed by the packers.
Demand Variety
They saw that the keeping up Of a
slaughter house for the killing of one
or less beeves daily, the driving to
the house for the carcass, and the
rendering of the tallow cost more
than the saving between their own
killing and the purchase of the beef
ready for the block. Old ways of do
ing business are hard to change, and
this like all other changes was a hard
matter to educate butchers to do.
1t was found that. in city the size
of st. Paul, many grades of beef were
required to satisfy the different class
of customers. We had grass beef
only. and to meet the demands of
butchers it was necessary to keep for
sale corn fed beef, as we'll as grade,
and to supply this we had to go to the
Chicago market and purchase.
The end of the year 1884 demon
strated that the slaughtering of twen-
ty-five head of cattle per day could
not be made profitable. To operate
an abattoir more help is required
than butchers who remove the hide
and split the carcass. An engine and
engineer, a foreman, bookkeeper, hide

BY J. W. Foley
Medora, Oct. by October 1888
an abattoir was opened with daily
capacity of twenty-five head of cattle
and the first dressed beef ever pro-
duced in North Dakota, in CARROTS,
was ready for shipment to towns in
Mimi.

and not Packing House." There
was no packing house at Medora, as
the word is now understood.
Not Used to Dressed Beef
At this time it was difficult matter
to dispose of carload of beef to one
butcher. In the first place no one
butcher had the refrigerator capacity.
Besides all butchers, in our state,
twenty odd years ago, advertised
themselves as wholesale Dealers
This was a myth, but to carry it out
why should they purchase from an
other wholesale butcher. Another
reason dressed beef was in the west,
something new and there existed a
prejudice against such beef, not only
by the butchers but by the people
Strengthening continued at Medora
until too late in the winter for cattle
to be driven from the range.
Cold Storage Situation
This years experience taught that
an eastern outlet with cold storage
rooms was necessary if the abattoir
was to be kept open daily. and that
any excess of unsold meat could be
kept in good condition until sold.
Some few years before Drake Bros
had erected, in St. Paul, freezer and
cold storage. The purpose for which
these plants were intended was to
either freeze or hold in cold storage
such articles as butter, eggs, poultry
game and fruits. The articles to be
purchased in time Of plenty when the
prices were low and hold until scarce
and sell at an advance in price.
