Chicago, I11., Aug. 12.—By a contract
signed Saturday Swift & Co. and Ar-
mour & Co. become joint owners in
the Fort Worth stockyards and are
each to erect a modern packing plant
in the Texas town, with facilities for
handling all the livestock of the south-
west. The parties to the contract were
J. Ogden Armour, president of Ar-
mour & Co.; Gustavus F. Swift, presi-
dent of Swift & Co., and G. W. Simp-
son, president of the Fort Worth
Stockyards company. 1
The conference of the men interested
was held at the office in the Rookery
building.
G. W. Simpson, prsident of the Fort
Worth Stockyards company, spoke
freely of the new enterprise last even-
ing in the following terms “The erec-
tion of thse plants will give a great
impetus to the livestock industry in
the southwest. With a large number
of catle, oxen and sheep in Texas and
an the territory tributary to Fort
Worth, which is the natural railroad
center for this great state, the growth
of the market should be rapid, as Tex-
as alone has 6,000,000 cattle. The en-
terprise will be a boon to the producer
and consumer, not only in Texas, but
throughout the entire south. With the
gulf ports of New Orleans and Gal-
veston, there can be no doubt about
the exporting of cattle and packing-
house products direct to England from
Fort Worth. 1
“Fort Worth has eight railroads, in-
-cluding the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific, Missouri, Kansas and Texas,
Texas and Pacific, Fort Worth and
Denver, Cotton Belt, Houston and Tex-
as Central, Fort Worth and Rio
Grande, and the Frisco and Interna-
tional and Great Northern will have
their rails in there before next year.
“There has been a marked improve-
ment during the last few years in the
breeding and feeding of cattle and hogs
in Texas, which has more cattle than
many two states. A mixed ration of feed,
consisting of cottonseed meal and
hulls, crushed corn and chopped hay,
has placed Texas in the front rank
as a cattle-feeding state. The mild
climate enables the cattle and hogs
to run in the feed lots the entire year.
The plants to be erected will be sim-
ilar to those operated by the compan-
ies in St Louis, Kansas City, St. Joseph,
Mo., Omaha and other livestock cen-
ters. At least $1,000,000 will be spent
in the establishment of the plants,
which will in the future give employ-
ment to over a thousand men.
The plan for the establishment of a
livestock center at Fort Worth has
been under consideration by the two
'companies for many months.

tending an invitation to the chambers
of commerce of the state of New York
and the Merchant’s association of the
city of New York, in connection with

Whereas, Said invitation was accept-
ed by each of said commercial bodies

leced by the representatives and ap-
pointed by the speaker of the house

formance of their duties in conduct-
ing the visitors throughout the state,
yet we can not agree with them that

ought to be changed. Be it further
Resolved, That a copy of these reso-
lutions be printed in the House Jour-
nal, that a copy be sent to the chamber
of commerce of the state of New York
and the Merchants’ association of the
