Will Create New Market. The new packing plant and stockyards, stock-yards, it is believed, will create a splendid market and great demand within so few miles of the range that the stoekgrower can conserve almost every ev-ery ounce of weight he puts into his stock, to ?ay nothing of the benefiting by proper ' ' fills ' ' and better treatment treat-ment afforded them in the yards at north Salt Lake. This alone 'is great encouragement, but is not all. The J iitormonntain Stock Show asso- ! ciation has pledged $1 UOO in prize I money for individual fat cattle, car- j loads of fat sheep and carloads of fat i swine. The stock raisers for their part! have been putting as much weight on ! their stock as possible, not only in an- i ticination of the prizes, but the ex-j rollout prices which will prevail on the sale day of the biff event. The stock j will be auctioned off to the highest bid- ! dor. This method is thought most fa-i verable because of the fact that there 'V will be many buyers and speculators j x. fir.n the east and west present, inelud- ; NV i n g special representative? from Cali- i N'ornia packing house?, who, with the; local packers, will offer keen and live-j ly competition.
