Rapid CITY. s.. D., Oct. 6.-The valley
Of BOX Elder creek is gaining a fame
as the most productive fruit region in
the Black Hills and the crop of apples,
winter pears, plums, cherries, grapes
and small fruits that has been raised
this year has more than sutficed to

The fruit farm and nursery of Chris
Thompson, six miles; north of Rapid
City, on Box Elder, at this time is I'M

thousands OF trees which for the past
ten years have been a source of profit

him to the Riacl Hills a knowledge OF

Mr.. Thompson has picked and packed
over ,2OO barrels OF early apples from

Of what is popularity known as 'the

panied by his two eldest sons, King
don Gould and Jay Gould, whom he is
diligently instructing in the mysteries
that attend the successful administra-

Mr.. Gould returns to the east more
than ever an optimist, strengthened
in his belief by personal observation
that conditions throughout the country,
ard more particularly i'll the west and
southwest, We're never more favorable
that at present; that there is no
justification for the pessimistic wave
that engulfs Wall street, that in due
course of time the general prosperity
of the country at large must have a.
reflex influence IN all speculative
trading, and that at nc time in the
history OF the United States have gen

srying out of great business enter
prises been more promising. than now.

Chicago. Oct. IA bonus of $loO,ooo,
maid by the trunk line roads to the chi
caEo packers, was the price of the re-
cent advance in rates on dressed peel.
Many people have been wondering
why it is that the packers, who, before
the enactment of the Elkins amend
ment to the interstate m laWr
were continually protesting gains the
high railroad rates, have submitted
without protest to the a IN
dressed beef rates from 40 cents to 45
cents, Chicago to New York, soon after
the merger of the packing interests
here had been completed.
A Secret Arrangement.
1t is now learned from reliable au-
thority that the conduct of the PACK
ers is due to a secret arrangement PEI
tween the packers and the chicago
%eastbound roads, whereby the Erie was
induced to cancel a contract made by
Swift & Co. on January is, 1903, to con-
tinue in effect for three years. Thlss
contract made a rate not to exceed ~
cents a hundred pounds on dressed
beef from Chicago to New York and
Boston.
To get the Erie to annul it's contract
with Swift & Co. and comply with
their agreement, the packers, it is al
legged, agreed to give the Erie a larger
onnag of the dressed beef weekly
| than it would be able,to get under or
linary circumstances.
Offer BonuA Of $4,000.
After the merger of the packing
house interests in Chicago the New
York Central, Pennsylvania, Baltimore
and Ohio and other trunk lines, 1T is
said, entered into negotiations with the
packers who had made the agreement
with the Erie for the Withdrawal of the
Ascent rate, and these roads paid the
packers in lieu of cut rates or rebates
the sum of $150,000 in cash.
= This amount, it is said, was divided
among the packers according to their
average weekly shipments, as follows:

1T is not explained how Swift and;

that it was for it's st. Joseph house,
although 1t is possible that it got it for
canceling it's exclusive contract with
the Erie.
