Crooked Contracts In the Posiomee
Department.
WASHINGTON, June 6-The Star route.
about which Senator Van Wyok has Just
been enlightening the Postoffice Depart
nent is one that he called attention to
asst winter. Deadwood is already sup
)lied with daily mails from Pierra, ON
he Chicago and Northwestern, and Sid
ley. OH the Union Pacific. A year ago
wo more routes to Deadwood-one
rom Chamberlain, on the Milwaukee
md st. Paul Railroad, and the other
IOtli lODIkbk0, On tno NJkDuA Oity anu
Pacific road. In the winter the Post
,fice Department advertised for pro-
posals for carrying the mails over these
'outes, whereupon Van Wycx got a reso-
luton OF urgency adopted, and in con-
uection with 1t he showed the absurdity
Of creating the routes, but was told by
the Postoffice Committee that it was I'M
necessary after the exposure had been
made - that the Postmaster General
would not think Of letting contracts for
the routes. The matter was dropped
then, and the Senator supposed it had
been dropped for good. In the mean
time there had been a change in Post
Generals. but none in the con-
tract Office. Two days ago Van Wyck
learned that contract for carrying the
mail on the route from Miobriara to
Deadwood had been let at $4,000 a
year to Miner, one OF the defendants in
the present Star route trial. and he
promptly had a warm interview with
Chief Clerk Layman of the contract
Office, and very satisfactory interview
with Postmaster General Gresham, who,
the Senator believes. will suspend the
contract. As stated above, the Dead
wood people have daily mail from two
points already. The aggregate postal
revenues in a radius within fifty miles
of Miobrara do not amount to $500 a
year, and there are no white settlers be-
tween the two places, and for most part
of the way there cannot BIO until the
Indian title Is extinguished. Senator
Henderson and Representative valen-
tine asked that the service be put on.
