V The ground upon xx'hich the Union ( dock yards and the town of South Omaha are located xvas purchased T * l > y the South Omaha land syndi c-ale , composed of the same parties xx ho arc interested in the stock yards comnany. Much of the land has been sold to parties xvho have erected packing houses , plaughtcring houses , stores , shops and lixx'cllings , altogether making up u very lively toxvn , where less than three years ago there xvas not si single building. * mi : STOCK VAHPS usTUitritisK was the outgrowth of u general demand of the trans-Missouri live stock raisers. Omaha , owing to her location and other Advantages , xvas considered the proper placet for slock yards and packing houses that would accommodate the immense trullic of the xvest. Omaha was regarded the gatoxva.y to ihc xvcstern country , and consequently it was believed that she ' would be ab'le to soon build up a market. The result hits already provcu this. All of the live stock products xvere going to Chicago , ami the object of the South Omaha enterprise was to concentrate the fmsincss hare nml to make Omaha a packing and distributing point for the vast area of country to tlie xvcst of us. The business haHgroxvn to immense pro portions. During the year 1885 the re ceipts of hogH xx-ere 107 , ; > 7-I. During the year 18SU they amounted to 407.0 ! ) ) . With the present packing facilities there is no reason xx-hy the receipts of hogs should not reach .1,000,000 during the year 1887 , The hog packing capacity of South Omaha is 0.000 per day. The receipts of cattle in 1885 were 150,5:12 , : , and in MJ < ! they reached 187.HO ! ) . Thtt , capacity for Kbxugbtering cuttle is C < i < ) per day. The _ hogs and cattle that are noxv coming into the Union .stock yards are mostly sold and packed in iboutlt Omaha , Tlie. producers and shippers of this western country have noxv an adx'anta- goous market near home. By shipping to Omaha they make : i great saving , as the shrinkage caused by the long haul to C'hicaco is avoided , and a irroiit deal of valuable time is saved. The stock is promptly disposed of , and business is sat' isfiictoriiy transacted. A thorough sys tem of stock inspection lias been cstib ! < lished. A competent veterinarian is em ployed to examine all stock and see that no diseased cattle come into the state or the country xvest , The capacity for handling , slaughter ing and packing cattle and hogs is to be largely increased , New slaughter houses for cattle are to be erected. Chicago packers arc coming to Omaha for this purpose. As the .state develops the South Omaha enterprise xvill increase proper tionately. The second year's business at the Omiilni stock yards xvas larger than x\-as the seventh year's business at the Kansas City yards. At this rate ol groxvth there is every reason to beliex'o that Omaha xvill soon go ahead of Kansas City in the live stock and packing in itiiMry. Nebraska und loxvu , it is con ceded , raise the linest hogs in die country , and tho&o hogs xvill all come to Omaha , together xvith the cattle. A Good Showing.

WATKIWOtlKS. The Mock yarns company has also expended $10,030 during the past few nonths on waterworks" , and the plan1 ? which It is carrying out will necessi tate a further expenditure of ? ir ,0X ( ) . The works consist of what Is known as Cook's system of tube wells supplied with verti cal steam pumps. Several of these well * which have been sunk to a depth of varly 200 feet arc already in operation. When the work is completed there will je eight xvclls which will bo capanlo of supplying a million gallons of water a. lay. The system also includes a noxver- 'nl pump conne.cled with the slock yard ? iJtiiul , which can br > nscd in case or any HTidont to the other pumps or in case of lire. The machinery , including the boilers which furnish the power for the pumps , is covered by a largo frame building. Ttir STOl'K UXCII.VXOK. The completion of the stock exchange building , which supplies ollico room for the company anil for the dillbrent com mission tinm , and which is al.-o used for liotel purposes , has necessitated an ex- lieiulilnre of JJO.OOO. It contain * about twenty rooms for commission linns , fifty- six hotel rooms , besides the rooms for the bank and stock yards ollice. Hotel furniture costing $ : t00 ' ! has already been ilaccd in the building and it will shortly jc increased by # 1,000 more. TIII : I-AOKINO iioisis. * : The great stroke which was to in uro the success of the Stock Yards Company ami which was to create a great live stock market in Omaha , was made when the Anglo-American Provision Company and Thomas J. Lipton signed agreements to locate packing houses at the Omaha stock yards. yards.nnvi.r.u IIKO.'S norsK. tlie AngloVmeriean Provision Com pany's house is called , is located just west of tlio yards , and Is hardly com- plideil yet. It consists of two largo brick buildings four to live stories in height , the one UOO feet square and the oilier 17o.\ol)0 ) feet. In addition to these there are several smaller buildings , ice houses , smoKe houses , etc. The house hits a capacity for killing 5,000 hogs per day , but at tlie present lime is handling only about 15,000. On Novoinb r 10. the house was opened and the slaughtering of hogs begun. Thov give employment to IWO men , but the force will bo gradually in creased as the business requires. The building , when all the additions are completed xvill cost 917.1,000. The switch track , xvhich gives tlio different railroads admission to the stock yards , has been extended so that cars can bo loaded or unloaded from the house. The business of the packing house is under the management of Charles S , Walker , xvltli K. Willers , head book-keeper , and William Wai I worK , hog buyer. A few roils north of the Anglo-American Pro vision company's house is located TUB THOMAS . ) . I.I1TOM HOUSE , which , like tlie former , is exclusively a hog house , and was opened only one day later. It is also a brick structure , aboiit 200 feet square , lilted up with all the latest machinery . and is a model house of its si/.c. It cost $75,000 and has a capacity ity of 2,000 , hogs per day , and is at present > killing about 1,000 per day. Tlio manager of the house is Robert Neill , wtthJ. M. Lend ) , buyer. No sooner had these two houses opened than the heaviest run of hogs ever known at these yards set in. Not only did Nebraska hogs come in , but hundreds of loads have been received from western Iowa and oven from points in the eastern part of that state . IJe.sides the building of the new pack ing houses , the Stock Yards company has expended ? GOS on repairs to (5. II. HAMMOND ft CO.'S HOITSC , which xvas opened early in 1885. with a capacity of about 700 cattle and 1,000 hogs per day. The Hammond house is under the able inanngeincnl of II. 11. Me day. John Moss is cattle buver and Charley Bogart is hog buyer. Till ; UNION ItKNDKiaNfr COMPANY , compose ! of Isaac Waixol , Nels Morris , K. Morris and Andrew Haas , has an ex tensive rendering establishment located a short , distance south of the yards , Andrew Haas is manager , niul John A , Doe is superintendent. They give em ployment to about thirty men , the year round , and to about forty men during the busy season. rniLic iNsrrtTOu. One of the dillicnltics which iiad to be contended with from the lirst establish ment of the yards was tlie dockage of hogs. Thai difliciilty has recently been obviated in the same method as on the older markets , by the appointment of a public inspector , Mr. H. P. Hrady. COMMISSION IMKMjb One of the best indications of tlie in creasing business of the yards la the number of llvo stock commission linns now doinu business there. In the lir.st and second years of the yards' existence three , or perhaps four , firms were able to do all the busi ness , and found it a losing investment at that. At the present time , although the number of linns has increased to seven teen , there seems to bo room for nil , as tifoso who have started in recently are able to make a very fair thing and the older linns have been obliged to obtain more help iu order to handle the bus ! ness. Another pioneer of the yards is Colonel E. P. Savage , manager of the firm of Savage & ( ircen. ( J. P. Green looks after the cattle interests of the linn , Sam ( iosnoy , formerly of Chicago , is hog salesman , and C. 'B. Miller is book-keeper. Another linn to date its origin from the beginning of the yards is W , F. Brown & Co. , for whom W. F. Brown is the cattle and sheep man and George S. Brown is the hog salesman. C. II. Moodv is book-keeper of the linn. Wood Bros. , are an old Chicago firm which established a branch here some time ago. under the supervision of Wal ter Wood and John D. Dadisinau. Harry Nash is book-keeper. Keenan & Hancock are an old Chicago linn who have been doing business on that market for a good many years ami on February 1,1880 , they established a branch ollico hero under the manage ment of Draper Smith , with I'rank Dewey assistant. Another old Chicago llrm that has 03- tabliHhed a branch ollico here is that of ( Jtiorgo Adams & Burke , with Andrew GHIespio as manager and Frank Chit' tcndeii as hog salesman. Among the linns who have located here recently U Byers , Patterson & Co , , of Chicago , J. K , Byors is manager of ( ho business til this point. Mr. Bycrs is : m old Chicago man , having been on tlio market there for nlxteen years , and is vice president of the Western Invest' ' incut Bank of Chicago. W , K.

The connnis'ion lirm of M. Burke. & Sons xvas founded in 1831 , by M. BurHO anil six sons. George , John , I.ouis , MHo , Charles and William. For fifteen years prior to establishing their commission house in South Omaha the lirm Wits en caged in stock raising , and they now own large tracts of land and herds of cattle in the xvcst. George and Charles Burke conduct the commission house. They have sold during tlie past year l.fitH ears hogs , 1,003 cars cattle and twocty- lix'e cars sheop. One of the latest firms to open tip is Clay Hobinson & Co. , composed of .sev eral well-known bnsine. s men ol Chicago. Lorimor , Wetcrlield & Maloy are a new linn just opened at the stock yards. John M , Westcrlleld looks after the ollico xvork , xvlille Chas. S. Maloy is salesman. I'XION STOl'K YVllDS IIVNK , Mver since tlm establishment of tlio stock yards the people engaged in busi ness there have been put to tlie great in convenience of doing nil Ihelr banking in Omaha. During the pa t year the Omaha banks beg.xn sending mes sengers to tlie yards , which rendered it fomewhat moro convenient , but xvas far from satisfying the retpiirenumts of the business. This lias been entirely reme died by the establishment of lite Union Slock yards bank , which is located in the Stock KM'hangc building , the most con venient place possible , as noxv the com mission men can do their banking business without leaving the building in which their olllces are located. The bank is barked by some of the heaviest capitalists of Omaha and Chicago , and has an anthori/.ed capital of iftOO.OOO , and a subscribed capital of S'JOO.ODO. . The olllcers ot the bank are John A. Me.Shane , president ; William A. Paxton , vice-president , and K. B. Branch , cashier , an able and exper ienced banker. The directors are ; II. Kounl/e , John A , McShano , W. A. Paxton - ton , P. K. Her , J. A. Creighton , F. II. Davis , Samuel W. Allerton , Chicago ; Ilobert I ) . Fowler , Chicago ; M. C. Keith , North Platte.

TJIK ItAII.ItOAl ) COMI'ANIKS having lines connecting with this point have permanent agents located at tlie yards who look after the lixe .stock inter ests of their respective roads.

TUB DAILY STOCKMAN made its first appearance on June 13 , 1880 , and is devoted , as its name indi cates , to the interests of tlie li\'e slock markel.

Organized about tlie same time , having the same incorporators and the same stock holders , it xvas designed that while the stock yards company should build yards and packing houses that would give employment to thousands of labor ing men , the land syndicate , .should fur nish them xvitli homes. The syndicate bought up largo tracts of hind lying im mediately south of tlie corporate limits of Omaha. The slock yards lands arc locate- . ! south and xx'cst. of the syndicate property. At the point xvhero the lands of the txvo companies join , tlio VIU.AOK OK SOL'TII ' OMAHA lias sprung up , xvith that phenomenal trroxvth known only to xvestorn toxx-ns. It is located on high ground , having every facility for good drainage , and is xvell calculated to be the homo of the thou sands of xx'orking men who will find em ployment at the packing houses and manufacturing establishments Unit xvill locate around the stock yards. At the present time it contains about : > 00 houses and a population of 1,501) ) people. During the past year it has groxvn very rapidly , 118 houses having been built. Instead of eroxving toxx'imls Omalui , the present tendency seems to bo to folloxv the line of the railroad southxvurd , as the noxv packing houses xvill be built in that di rection , The village xvus incorporated by the commissioners of Douglas county , on October 10th , 1880.

While it is impossible to foretell xvhat is to transpire in the years to come , it re quires no prophet's eye to see the future commercial greatness of South Omitha. Judging from what has transpired in the past , from the growth of other and older Ih'o stock markets , from the plans ready to bo carried out as soon as Hie spring opens , from the millions of dollars owned and controHcd by the individuals and companies interested , it is plain to bo seen that there can bo no backxvard Vteps , but that the enterprise xvill bo pushed forxvard xvith nil the impetus - potus that men of brains and xvith unlimited capital can supply. What was nt llm looked upon by tlio people of Omaha as a huge job to advance the prinn of real estate and by the people of Chicago us the visionary scheme of xvest orn capitalists , lias blossomed out into a large nml important live Hock market. In three years as much has been accom plished as Kansas City prided herself in doing in seven years. No bettor evidence Is xvanlc-d of the" past growth and future prospects of tlid Omaha Ii\'o stock inter ests than the changed attitude of the Chicago packer * and live stock men.A year ago they spokr. of Omaha as being too near to Kansas City to over ImVo any llyo stock trade and as calculated only to become a feeder of the Chicago yards , Now their tnno has changed and it is a question among thorn as to who can get here lirM and secure tlio best lo cation , while they say of Omaha that she is bound to leave Kansas City in the same way that Chicago did Cincinnati , and is destined to bo the great rival ol Chicago ns a point for the packing and distribu tion of .dressed meats. Packing firms have located hdro and have gained an advantage over their competitors xvtileh will force others to come. Even noxv plans are being drawn up for the build ing of nexv packing houses in the .spring. otio of xvhich xvill cost § 17. " > ,0ro , and xvill be occupied by a heavy Chicago llrm. It is by no means nnreasonablo to predict that South Omaha xvill contain ten thou sand inhabitants in a very short time. Oilier Packing House ? . The Omaha live stock market is not en tirely dependent upon those packing houses xvhich are loe-Ued at the stock yards , but there are a number of other es tablishments in dill'erent parts of the city which do a largo business and con tribute to the uuilding up of the market. There are also several houses outside of tlie city , such ns Stewart & Co. , Council Blull's , and Squires & Co. , .Bos ton , xvho are heavy buyers on this market. j. t : . IKIYH'S iiotisn. One of the oldest and most important packing houses in the city is thai of ) . U. lloyd , xvhich is exclusively a hog liou.'o.

In the spacious nml handsomely ftp- pointed front rooms of the upper floor of the Paxton building , Fifteenth and Far- nam streets , nro located Mendelssohn & Lixwrie , architects , They are employing , oven at ( his sonson , ton draughtsmen , a type writer and other assistants , and are propnring the plans for over n half mill ion dollars' of work next soring , Mendelssohn < fc Lawric are probably as skilled representatives of the delicate profession of architecture M can bo tound in the country. Mr. Mendelssohn came here from Detroit seven years ago , and the elegant , structures now adorning the city , of "which ho is tlm designer. practically indicate his finished skill ami genius. Tlie notable and rapid Increase of his business Is likewise po itlvo proof of Ids honorable ami satisfactory work. Mr. Laxvrie , n loading architect as well as a prominent artist of Chicago , comes to Omaha with Iho very highest praise from his associates and patrons in the great city of the lakes. It can now bo said that in this new linn there has boon a doubling tip of superior ability. The new firm has retained all the skilled draughtsmen and assistants and will add at once several selected men to the present force. The old reliable and practical building superintendent , D. L. Shane , will continue to liavo direct super vision of all work entrusted to the care of the linn. John L. Kennedy , of Ken nedy vt Martin , attorneys at law , has been engaged to draw contracts ami at tend to ail legal questions , as to parti- walls , ute. Jt will thus be seen that the business has been put on a metropolitan basis and so systematized that tin immense amount of work can be done with dispatch. Dur ing the year just passed the value of the buildings designed by Mr. Mendelssohn exceeded sl'SoUOO. Fully $000,000 worth of buildings are noxv ueing planned. With the increased facilities four times that amount of work will be rapidly dis patched. Mendelsohn X' Lawrie arc prepared to do anything in tlie line of architectural work and fear the competition of no linn or individuals in the country. They are on the "ground" permanently and their interests tire idc > ntical with those of Omaha. A Hiiceo'ishil Architect. Mr. F. M. Kills , Fourteenth and Far- uani streets , Is acknowledged to bo one of the most successful architects and building superintendents in the city. Mr. Ellis has acquired an envia ble reputation during the past season as a skilled designer , and has given rcmarUable satistiietion because - cause of his exact estimates in tlie cost of structures. Mr , Kills , in fact , guar antees that the expense of erecting build ings for which he prepares plans shall not exceed his lirst ligurcs. That this is a practical advantage no owner of build ings will dispute , and because of his re markable skill in computing the reason able contract , prices of all structures Mr. Kllis places his patrons in a position to accurately determine what size and style of structure they will erect.

The number , substantial character , nml costliness have never been oven approx imated by any xvork of construction In this city .since the first xvoodcn house put to sliiuuo the dun-out. The business portion tion of the city has been almost entirely changed ; frame blocks and slngto build ings have given xvay to substantial brick structures and the txvo and three story buildings that always distinguish the architecture of xvestern cities in early llfo Imvo boon capped with additional stories in order not to be entirely lost in the shadoxv of ntxv live and .six story neigh bors. In the residence portion the changa is equally xvondurful , Tlio inferior bouses that a foxy years ago claimed re cognition because of superiority over pioneer productions , have disappeared , and Omaha's men of means can justly pride themselves on the architectural beauty of their homes. Around the olty to tlie south , xvesl and north , where there were only occasional farm houses in 1831 , and little clusters of domiciles in ISA" ! , there nro now thickly sullied com munities xvith municipal proximity and clamoring tor city advantages. The building in the several additions adjoining Omaha during 1SSO has never hail a par allel in the xvcst. During 1SSO there xvcro 1,010 complete buildings of all kinds constructed in Omalwt.

A ncxv union passenger depot xvill in all probability lie erected during 1887 , as a company has already been formed for tliiilD purpose. I'lio Now York Life Insurancu company xxlll undoubtedly commence tlui erection of a six- story , lire proof , ollico building on the properly lately purchased on Iho corner of Seventeenth and I'arnam streets , xvhich its representatives siy ; xvill cost no less than $100,000. The outlook for "doub ling up" in tlie number of buildings and the values thereof at the _ end of 1887 , seems almost as certain us facts and tig- nrcs shoxv has been the case in 1880 , as compared xvitli 188.1. . The BIK : has taken special pains lo get the correct liiriires shoxvinir the number and cost of buildings and lictlcrmcnts in Omaha.
