anu even more eX-
pensive to keep clean. In fact, it is
next to impossible with the limited
means at the command of the city to
clean such streets. To make even a
semblance of cleaning them they must
be swept by hand, inch, by inch, every
day. Washing is out Of the question.
Every crevice is lodging place for
dirt, and; there it: sticks, only to be re-
moved by the efforts of q lusty street
sweeper applied to 9 heavy brush. f..
To-day the streets in the business
districts of the city are horribly over
crowded. More SO than the muchly ad-
vertised overcrowding of Broadway in
New York. Long lines of heavy trucks
block important thoroughfares ali
through the working hours, and pedes-
TRANS must either take their life in
their hands and thread their way
through them when wishing to: cross
or wait until an obliging policeman
stops the steady procession for few
seconds SO as to give the pedestrians
an opportunity. ~ : + =.
Another thing which this system of
tunnels will do, especially when the
system Of coal delivery is put in opera
ton. It will strike q death blow at
the teamsters' union, the strongest Ia
Dor organization in the city, and the
one which the Industrial and CONNER
cial interests of the city have had to
necessarily bow to-. Within 4 year it
is expected that q number Of the big
trucking companies that now. s haul
goods to and from the depots viii be
virtually put outSof business, and their
employees forced to look for other Jobs.

Deadwood, s. D., Dec. 22.-Congressman q. W.
Martin has returned from Washington to spend
the holidays in this city and with his sons on his
ranch near Buffalo Gap.
Mr.. Martin states that the so-called Kinkaid
bill is not favorable to the cattle interests, but
instead is made especially for the farmer and
tern part Of the state The bill requires that the
locator must reside on the claim five years and
the cost acre, when the ground is proved
up on will be 81 .25. Should the bill become
law, the 64Oacre tract would not be much more
than pioneers obtained who settled the eastern
| time they took pre-emption, homestead and q
tree claim, amounting in all to 4SO acres.
| Mr. Martin says that the opening of this part
+, Of the western country will mean q railroad
| across the reservation. He has traversed the
country between the Missouri river and the
Hills and Is certain that as soon as the bill
| opens up the district thousands Of farmers will
| take up the vacant land. @. - --
| There is strong opposition to the bill on the
part of some of the farmers living in the foot
hills along the valleys. One man from Sturgis
writes that the bill should not pass unless 1t has
provisions that will protect the land. He sug-
gests that the land now vacant should be sur
veyed carefully and all the land along the creeks
should be plotted, and person taking home
stead should not be allowed more than eighty
acres Of irrigated land, 100 acres of land in the
valleys, and the remainder the plateaus OF
higher portions where grazing will have to be
resorted to. Otherwise, a person could locate
the $40 acres Of ground along the creeks, leaving
vacant the plateaus.
