Union Stock Yards Traffic
Man Gives Rosy View of
' Crop and Live Stock
Conditions.
Carl A. Smith, traffic manager of
the Union Stock Yards company, has
issued a statement relative to the
anticipated heavy run of cattle and
sheep at the South Side market this
'season. The statement, which is
based on the government crop report
f.-ir lnlv follows:
"Contrary to the general belief,
'pastures in Nebraska are in fairly
ffood condition, and while there is a
shortage of alfalfa, the outlook for
an abundant crop of prairie hay and
the fact that a good share of last
year s prairie nay is stm on nana,
owing to carriers having an embargo
on hav, will easily offset the shortage
of alfalfa. Also with the great amount
of roughage from the large crop -of
small grain and the large corn crop
which is evident, there will be an
unprecedented demand for live stock
feeders in this territory for cattle and
sheep this fall.
"Naturally, it is expected the great
est amount of feeder stock will be
marketed within the district that is
producing a vast amount of grain and
roughage, and commission men, as
well as all interested at the South
Omaha yards, feel confident that the
fact that this market is located in
the center of the corn belt, and the
increase in freight rates to the other
large markets and limited train serv
ice east and south of the Missouri
river, will cause a demand at the
South Omaha market during the en
tire shipping season for all classes
of feeder live stock that has never
been equalled.
,"It is the desire of the governmelt
that live stock be marketed at its
nearest market, thus relieving traffic
conditions, and to this end federal
authorities , have established zones
from which live stock may be shipped
,. to markets east of the Missouri river
and south of Omaha.
"In view of the increased produc
tion of cattle and sheep, and resultant
heavy receipts from the range coun
try, this season the Union Stock
Yards company has spared no ex
pense in improving the facilities at
this market by building new pens,
adding new scales and changing the
entire, arrangement of the fat cattle
and feeder cattle divisions of the
yards."
Young Girl Injured
Wh3n Struck by Auto
Nellie Muchan, 8 years old. 5309
South Thirty-second street, was se
verely bruised Friday night,, when
struck by an automobile driven by
Frank Coast, 5210 South Thirty-sec-on
street.
Witnesses said Coast lost control of
the machine, which crashed over the
curb and onto the sidewalk at Thirty
second and R streets. Coast stopped
hi car and attempted to aid .the in-
jured child, but sped away wnen he
" was threatened by an angry crowd,
which quickly gathered.
The child was attended by Dr.
, Koenig and taken home. Coast was
later arrested on a charge of reckless
driving, and the case was continued
to July 22, pending the outcome of
the child's injures.
MODERN SOUTH SIDE
HOTEL HAH LOOMS
Growth of Packing Industry
Sufficient Warrant for Re
viving Talk of Expen
sive Hostelry.
That the much-moted project of
bnildinc a modern fireproof hotel on
th South Side mav become a reali
zation after the war, is indicated by
the revival of interest in the propo
sition shown by South bide business
men.
John . Gamble, chairman of the ex
ecutive committee of the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce, touched upon
the matter in a speech at the good
fellowship meeting at the Exchange
huildinflr recently. Since that time the
matter has been widely discussed,
and a number of South Side business
men have expressed hearty approval
of the plan.
It is said that a modern fireproof
hotel of 100 or more roms would fur
nish ample accommodation for the
farmers and stockmen who regularly
patronize the South Side market. The
visitors are now compelled to seek
such accommodations in the uptown
hotels.
The growth of the stockyards busi
ness, the packing house industries,
etc., gives sufficient ground to war
rant the success of the undertaking,
business men say. The need of a
good, medium-priced hotel has long
been felt and the general sentiment
Is that such an establishment would
meet with immediate success.
The plans are, of course, only tenta
tive, and it is not iixeiy mat inc
project will be carried out until after
the war, but now that interest in the
proposition has been revived business
men are expressing commence mat
the project will come to a realiza
tion in due time.

New Candidates For
County Commissioner
The redistricting of the county com

and George S. Collins has filed for the
democratic nomination.

"Twn men came un to the comer on
