'PACKING HOUSE BUSINESS
lone Figures Furnished by the Government
v Census Bureau.
EXTENT OF INDUSTRY IN UNITED STATES
Has Casablae U Shown br be Sta
tistics, Whlcb Prove the CeatraU
faatloa of the Hoar Killing
Daring tat Years.
There ha been phenomenal growth In
the slaughtering and meat packing Indus
trie of the country, as shown by a bulle
tla Issued By the census offlce recently,
says a Washington special In the Chicago
Tribune. The cspltal now Invested In the
packing business Is 1189,198.264, as com
pared with $3,482,500 la 1V0. the number of
establishments at present being 921, as
against 185 fifty yeara ago.
The number of wage earners increased
from 8.276" to 68.584; the wagea paid from
H.231.63S to I33.457.01S; the cost of materials
used from $9,451,096 to $683.6R3.677, and
tbe. value of products from $11,981,642 to
$785,562,433. The average amount of capi
tal Invented per establishment grew from
$18,824 In 1850 to $206,427 in 1900; the av
erage yearly earnings of the wage earners
grew from $376 to $488, and the average
value of products per establishment rose
from $64,766 to $852,945. The growth was
teady.
While there M a large Increase In the
number of establishments In existence In
1850 there are 2,000 fewer today than there
were ten years sgo, which is conclusive
proof that the enormous packing concerns
have absorbed a great many of the smaller
ones.
Csuses which contributed to the growth
of this Industry are the eettlement of the
western country and the consequent ex
pansion of territory devoted to stoclc rais
ing; the extension of railroads and the In
creased facilities of communication; the
methods devised to Insure preservation of
tnett, such ae Improved methods of curing
and the Introduction and Improvement of
mechanical and chemical processes of re
frigeration, rendering summer packing pos
elble; the utilization of every part of the
animal and the adoption of labor-saving
devices.
Cincinnati Oare tbe Center.
During the ten years covered by tbe
eighth census taken In 1860, the center of
the meat Industry was at Cincinnati and
In the Ohla valley. The average amount of
capital Invested per establishment In
creased from $18,824 to $39,221, or 108.4 per
cent, while the average value of products
per establishment Increased from $64,766 to
$113,675, or 76.6 per cent.
From that time concentration In definite
centers was a marked feature of the growth.
The effects of the Industrial crisis of 1867,
with Its wholesale reduction of wagea. Is
seen by the difference In the average yearly
wage paid In 1850 and 1860. In 1850 It was
$376, which decreased to $202 in 1860, a de
crease of 46.3 per cent. Tbe winter pack
ing In eight principal weetern centers grew
from 720,600 hogs in 1850 to 992,310 hogs In
1860.
During 1890 and 1900 Illinois led every
atate In the union In the value of the prod
ucts In the packing Industry. In 1900 this
amounted to $287,922,277, aa against 8212,
291,882 In 1890. The amount of capital In
vested In Illinois In 1900 was $71,229,262, as
against $40,807,115 In 1890. A table giving a
comparative summary for 1880, 1890 and 1900
cf those cities that In 1900 showed a pro
duction to tbe value of $1,000,000 and ever
howa that the product of Chicago alone
reached a value of $256,627,949 In 1900, or
82.7 per cent of the total value for the
United States; In 1890 this ratio waa 86.3
per cent, a net loss during the decade of
8.6 per cent.
Chicago's advance In value of products
during these ten years waa $51,921,647, or
It per cent. The number of establishments
ateadlly decreased, falling from aeventy In
1880 to fifty-seven In 1S90 and thirty-eight
In 1900. Kansas City stood second In value
of products In 1900, gaining during the de
cade $33,860,579, or 84.8 per cent. Of tbe
total value of producta ' In the United
States Kansas City furnished 9.4 per cent
in 1900 and 7.1 per cent In 1890, a gain of
S.S per cent.
Unfortunately the figures upon which to
base such a comparison for South Omaha
are not available. The industry had no ex
istence In 1880 and the figures for 1890 were
not published separately. The total pro
duction for tbe state of Nebraska for 1890,
however, of which South Omaha constituted
a part, was $28,941,144, which was exceeded
In 1900 by $38,948,605 by South Omaha alone.
' Soath Omaha la Important.
In 1900 South Omaha produced 8.6 per
cent of the total value of the product of
the United States. In number of establish
ments Baltimore ranked first, with seventy
three establishments, followed by Phila
delphia with fifty-eight and New York City
With fifty-two, while Chicago, with thirty
eight, stood fourth. In the order of capital
Invested, wages paid and number of wage
earners the relative rank of the cities fol
lowed closely the same rank as under the
value at production. The widest varia
tions occurred In the average amount of
capital Invested and average value of prod
uct per establishment In the different cities.
South Omaha had tbe largest average In
vestment, of $2,609,570 per establishment;
Kanaaa Clty'a average capitalisation per es
tablishment was $1,889,325; Chicago's, $1,
T6S.788; 8outh St. Joseph (with St. Joseph).
11,040,180. In the average value of prod
ucts per establishment 8outh Omaha led,
with $11,814,968: Kanaa Ctty had $9,223,
171; Chicago. $6,750,736, and South St. Jo
seph, Including St. Joaeph, $5,940,995.
About 20,000 hogs were killed at Chicago
in 1850-61, and from that time the amount
of business done In Chicago Increased rap
Idly. The early '60s aaw the beginning of
railroad operatlona in the west. Naturally
this had a great Influence on the packing
business and to this cause much of Chi
sago's prominence as a packtng center may
be traced.
Up to this time St. Lou la was unimpor

NEW
Black and whit and the new
tant as a packing center, and other promi
nent packing cities of today, such as Kan
sas City, South Omaha and South St Jo
aeph. were unknown to the packing world.
These cities did not assume Importance
until later.
Cincinnati was the leading packing cen
ter In the t'nlted States until 1861-62, when
Chicago took the lead, which It has re
tained. With Its $256,527,949 worth of
products during the census year of 1900
the city of Chicago stands as the chief
centtr of the slaughtering and meat pack
ing Industry of the United States.
Boolaeaa of Great Proportions.
The preparation of animal food producta
at this point ha come to be one of the
greatest Industrial and commercial enter
prises that have been evolved by the Amer
ican people. This has not been due to
accident npr wholly to the alert and business-like
qualities of Chicago's citizens.
It has been chiefly because of Chicago's
location. Nature located Chicago to be a
gateway of commerce.
As early as 1673 Jollet saw that If a
canal were cut through half a league of
prairie boats could psss from the lake
of Illinois (Lake Michigan) Into the St.
Louis river (the Illinois, including the
Desplalnes). A city possessing such a lo
cation, between the lakes and the great
west, was naturally early seen to be a
gateway of commerce, and Chicago became
the center for the vast systems of trans
portatlon that converge there today, and
that Include more than one-half of the
railroad systems of the United States.
The Union stockyards were founded In
1865, when 820 acree of land was pur
chased, and the yards opened in December,
1865. This plant is now worth at least
$10,000,000, and on tbe square mile of land
upon which the yards are located are the
slaughtering and packing houses that In
1900 reported a capital invested of over
$67,000,000.
More than 60,000 men found employment
In and about the yards In 1900, In tbe
packing establishments and In the service
necessary to the handling of the stock.
Within the stockyarda are 200 acres of
yardage, twenty miles of street, twenty
miles of water troughs, seventy-Ova miles
of drainage and water pipes and 150 miles
of railroad track, which 1s the property
of the stockyards company, which also
owns and operates the locomotives.

In all her diversified Interests. They con
stitute one of her chief glories. They are
not, as many suppose, small areas of level
ground closely hemmed In by neighboring
hills, and beautiful with evergreens and
flowers, but they are vast territories of
country almost aa large as some states.
They contain fields, forest and plains,
where the herd of the cattlemen have
succeeded the herd of buffalo; they are
watered by creek and rivers, and contain
villages and, farm houses; they have springs
and lakes, where hotel and other place
of entertainment have been built for et

other seeking remote place of resort In

AFFAIRS AT SOUTII OMAHA
Tax Commissioner Finish s Bevision of the
Records Today.
ADJOURNED COUNCIL MEETINGS POSSIBLE
Mar Be Held In Order tbat Appropria
tion Khali n Available at
Earliest Possible Data
After Jnly IB.
Tax Commissioner F1tgera1d and his
clerk will complete the revision of the
records of the tax levy for 1902 today.
When the Board of Review completed It
session it was found necessary to make a
number of change on tbe original sheet
as turned In by the tax commissioner, but
the changes did not reduce the valuation
below $16,000,00(1. All of the alterations
made by the board had to be recorded and
the records copied Tor the use of tbe coun
cil and a copy made for the city treasurer.
From the figure turned In by the tax
commissioner the council will decide upon
the amount of levy to be made. The mayor
and members of the council are of the opin
ion that It will not be neceasary to levy
more than 9 mills. This levy will bring in
the full amount allowed by the present city
charter.
In case the levy and appropriation or
dinances are not ready for the meeting of
the council Monday night It is possible
that adjourned meetings may be held dur
ing the week In order that the appropria
tion may be used as soon after July 15 as
possible.
With the appropriation of $41,000 for In
terest'in a separate bill there will be suffi
cient money to pay the running expenses
of the city without borrowing money from
the local banks.
Additional Schoolrooms,
Arrangements are being made by the
Board of Education for the erection of two
additional rooms at the Albright school
end three rooms will be added to the High
school annex. It is asserted that with the
addition of two rooms at the Hawthorne
school, two at the Albright and three at
the High school annex, the number of
rented room will be greatly reduced.
Members of the board say that the rental
for outside rooms Is entirely too high and
that It will be much cheaper In the end to
provide additional accommodations now. As
soon aa the plans are prepared the board
will advertise for bids for the work. It is
possible that some steps may be taken at
the next meeting of the board to determine
what will be done with the proposition to
construct one of the wings of the proposed
High school building.
That River Road.
Today Mayor Koutsky and a number of
member of the council will call upon Her
man Kountxe in connection with the open
ing of a road to the river. As stated In
Tbe Bee of yesterday, the road through the
Kountze property Is closed and It Is impos
sible for wagons hauling garbage to reach
the river. Tbe mayor hopes to make some
arrangements with Mr. Kountze for a road
for a term of years or else secure the ded
ication of a strip of land from the Burling
ton tracks eaet to the river. In case suit
able arrangements can be made the city
will expend about $200. In repairing the
road and the bridge, which was recently
damaged by high water.
Very Little Dolngr.
Yesterday was about the slowest Fourth
of July South Omaha has seen in year. No
local attraction had been provided and
consequently a large proportion of the pop
ulation visited resorts where attractions
were advertised. As a general thing the
tores kept open until noon. After that
hour tb street were practically deserted,
except for the small boy discharging fire
crackers. The police were particularly
alert, but no accident of any consequence
were reported. Chief Etter held the fire
men on duty In order tbat the department
might be on hand promptly In case of fire,
but nothing of tbe sort occurred.
