Bullding Notes, the Monument Scheme, State and Local Per- sonals, and General News, THE STATE OAPITAL, TAR STOCK YARDS, Reported by The Bre's Bureau. LiscoLs, Neb., August 5.—On a high rolling plateau lylog west from Lincoln a milo and a quarter, and from the B, & M. and Union Paclfic about a mile, are the now stock yards and town of West Lincoln. Through the courtesy of J. J. Thoff, Etq , a Bee reporter was driven out to the yards yosterday and allowed to examine tho work already done and in- spect the points where additional quar- tera for the handllng and care of stock will be made. Those cattle, sheep and hog pens aud covered sheds already built cover five acres, are substantially built and so arranged as to comprehend the most improved methods for grading, transferring, feeding and wacering stock. The pens run parsliel with a number of sideo-tracks of the B. & M. and Union Pac'fic, both of which roads ran their lines (hrough the yards and town of West Lincoln. When the pro- jeot of bullding the yards assumed a wengisle form the compavy acquired 1120 acres of land, 560 of which were by chass and the rematning 560 weso leased feom the atate for fifty yoars. No more desirable land could have been cb'alned In Lancaster county. From the highest hill a fins view may ba obtained of the fair country around. To the cast the city of Lincoln fs thrown into bold relief, while to tho weat and south the green valleys, gently undulating hills and run- nl raoks most the cje. Of this tract scqaired by purchase 80 acres have heen lald ount futo blocks and isas stated West Lincoln. Tho princtpal named atrect running east and west s named Grand avenue and Is one hundred foot wide. North and south Main street, wiich aro efghty feet wlde, will doubtless be the leading thoroughfare for the directions named. Atan suctlon sale nearly a month ago a pumber of lots were sold and slace then speculators and others have Invested 30 that at the present time §17,000 has been realizad by the company from this source. To the northeast of the pens and up a gradual and easy ascent the foundation has been commenced for an exchange and hotel. The present struc- ture is to be 38302 feet and (s only the wing of » ballding which 18 to be put up hercafter, as businees warrants, The contract has been let and work on the bullding proper will begin within a week under the superintendence of J. J. Kouhn, the archltect and deslgner. Qulte an oxtenstve system of water: works to cost $20,000 are under way. A well twenty foet In dlametor and about Torty foet deep is belng sunk. At the elde of the well pumping works will be placed and tho water forced thence to a tower forty-three feet high to be built on the highest polnt at the yards, some 100 foot above the level of tho yards fproper. From the tower the water will be dia- tribated through mains wherever desired. The water works sre under contract with A. L, Strang, of Omaha, who intends to completo them wlithin the next three weeks, The yards will be open for busi- noes by September 1, or ab least that is contemplated. Several subsldlary enterprlses are con- templatod in connection with the yards. The company itself will open and develop a fire-ciay bed which is located on the land. . J. B, Wright, Exq , ex-mayor of Lin- coin, is negotlating with the company tor enongh gronnd upon which to erect an extensive oil mill and elevator, Those who have the stock yards fn charge are wllling to spend enongh money to put 1t on apaying basts and therefore 1t will undoubtedly be a succe:s.
