Another Big Stock.

Norris Calm, of Evansville, Ind. has
rented Asa Fishers new building and
will put in nlimmense stock ofstr aight
whiskeys-will not handle any other
wines, and other liquors, and large
stock of cigars, for the wholesale trade,
together with canned goods and other
supplies, and line Of clothing for the
army trade. Mr.. Calm, as noted else
where, has been appointed trader for
one of the Yellowstone posts, and in
tends this as supply depot for his up
river business, but will in the mean
time labor to build up a. business for
his Bismarck house that will be ;of in
terest and value. Mr.. Calm has. been
in the wholesale trade at Evansville for
nineteen years and no doubt will keep
stock that will be credit to the city.
The location he has chosen is a good
one and the building selected is one Of
the best in the city, and there is no
REASON why he should not do large
business.

Mai1s to Deadwood.

Mail to Deadwood will 60 BY three
routes only SO soon as the present con-
tracts expire, which is within short
time. Awards have just been made as
follows: From Sidney, 30 miles, six
times week and back, to S. P, Wheeler.
at $1s,823 per year; from Bismarck, $50
miles, three times week and back, to the
Northwestern Stage and Express compa-
nv. and $12 900 per year; from Hat Greek,
Wyoming, (present terminus of existing
regular mail route from Cheyenne tomil-
itary posts northward) III miles, seven
times week and back, to A. II. Brown,
Of Washington. D. D., at $21, ,12o per an
mum. The service on the other three
routes, from Fort Pierre, KeaTney and
Paddock, will be discontinued at the ex-
piration Of the existing conracts.-Ssoss
City 7o.rnaz.
The above is correct except that the
distance from Bismarck to Deadwood is
forty miles less than that given. Atten-
ton should also be called to the fact that
the distance from Chenne to Hat Greek
is 80 miles, which, added to the distance
from Hat Creek to Deadwood, makes
3o1 miles. Thus it will be seen that Bis
marck is sixty miles nearer the Hills than
Sydney, and ninety-one miles nearer than
Cheyenne, and this explains the fact, in
part, why the Bismarck coaches beat the
time made by coaches on the other lines
by fours hours, running by day only, while
the others run night and day.

The President has detailed this accom-

Europe to observe, as an attache of

ry operations of the opposing armies in
Europe. General Hazen is as we'll adapt
ed to this work as any officer in the army,
and will probably appreciate the compile
rnent paid him as much as any other.

The Fort Pierre Route.

The TRIBUNE was well informed when
it stated that mail service had been dis
continued on the Fort Pierre route though
the statement called for personal attack
upon the editor of the TRIBUNE from the
Yankton Herald. The Press and Dako-
tian, however, writes up the question as
follows under the head of email Service
Discontinued:
Bya private letter from Washington We are In
formed that the post Office department has declined
o let the mail contract from Pierre to Deadwood, on
the ground that the mail matter between Yankton
and Deadwood, via Pierre, is too long time In
transit 1t also declines to put on service over the
Postmaster Brady, we are to be deprived Of that
which was gained only after the most rgent solica
tons by people whose interests important as
Pacific railroad foutes. This action Of the debart
ent is taken because had the opportunity, under
existing circumstances, to offer plausible excuse
for operating in behalf Of the influential tons
north and south Of US. It is true that the mails
have been very much delayed over the routes lead
ing from Yankton to Pierre, and from Pierre to the
Hills lattery more particularly on the first named
route. This has been caused by a combination Of
unfortunate circumstances which could not be pre-
rented at that iiue The mails were being carried
at ruinousy low rates, and the werk costing the
carrier double the amount received. tie became
financially embarrassed at season Of the year
when stage propretors under alargely increased
expense, and was u1abeto procure the necessary
stock to complete the contract. The consequence
vas that the mails were much delayed and rendered
uncertain. For this reason the postmaster here
deemed it advisable not to sead much Of the Hills
mail over the route until these difficulties over
come. It is unfair and unjust for the department
to take advantage OF this unfortunate situation and
make it the excuse fo1 dspriving us Of communica-
ton with the Hills. The mails can be carried
through in four and half days. and will be il we
permitted to make use of the route On the first
OF Of July the Kansas as aaa Nebraska stage company
suiIy, and that day other responsible parties will
besn operations on the two routes between Yankton
and Randall. Andezson's stage company is finally
nails, and postmaster has been appointed st
Perre there is no longer any necessity for send
ing the pouches to Sn1ly to be eyerhauled. Every
thing was assuming condition by which the con-
tracts would have been faithfully carried ont and
the service rendered exceedingly important one.
We look upon the action OF the department at this
particular juncture as agrcs injustice to the people
