A BUSY SCENE,
Carson Freight Sheds Keep MANY
Teams Employed.

One Of the busiest places in this
city is the V. &. T. freight sheds.
There is not a day in the week but
that a number Of freight teams NAV
be seen about the freight house and
IN most cases they are loading for
| points south. Gardnerville receives a
quantity of freight that is surprising.
The fact that every pound of merchan-
disc that is consumed up the valley
has to be hauled over the roads, shows
what is being done up that way. Every
| thing from bicycle to traction en-
| CINE has been sent over the road the
past few months and every day there
is received a supply of merchandise
that is surprising.
IN order that the merchandise may
reach its destination it is necessary
TO haul every pound of it by team.
Ihls keeps a number of transfers
steadily employed, but since the wea-
ther partially cleared, a number of
teams have been kept on the hustle
Bodie, Bridgeport, Markleville and
half dozen smaller stations are re-
presented in the list that depend on
the local road for traffic.
Yesterday no less than four teams |
were lined up at the sheds taking on
all they could haul for points south.
Considerable machinery is included in
the freight south, which shows that
he mining revival is on the move
out that way.
Between Loope, Bridgeport, the Car
son river dredgers and the new min
ng institutions that are on the move
looks like an exceedingly busy sea-
ION ahead OF the freighters, and that
S a pretty good criterion of the times.

Water Troubles at Sioux Falls to BE
Overcome.
1t is believed in some quarters that
the Sioux Falls city council will soon
take definite action in the proposition
of leasing or selling the municipal wa
terworks system to company form
ed of Sioux Falls business men.
Ever since Judge Garland decided
that the authorities of Sioux Falls
could not complete and operate the
municipal waterworks system, which
is now almost completed, on the
ground that the bonds issued for the
purpose carry the indebtedness of the
city beyond the constitutional limit,
there has been talk of a company COM
posed of Sioux Falls business men be-
ing organized to complete the system,
place it in operation and conduct it as
private corporation, as was done in
Sioux City under similar conditions.
This plan, in the opinion of attorneys,
is not prohibited by the permanent
injunction granted by Judge Garland,
Union County courier. [volume] (Elk Point, Union County, D.T. [S.D.]) 187?-1913, 1904-08-11

The most important council held by
the Sioux Indians since the cession to
the government in 1889 of 100000
acres Of land lying between the Mis-
souri, river and the Black Hills was
held at the point where Cherry creek
empties into Bad river. in the south
western corner of the Cheyenne River
reservation. All of the Sioux agencies
and tribes were represented, it being
estimated that the council was attend
ed by from 5000 to 5000 Indians.
The most important development
was in relation to the alleged irregu-
larities of the Black Hills treaty, IL
having been discovered, as the result
of statements made by leading chiefs
at the council, that the agitation in
regard to the Black Hills treaty has
caused the Sioux Indians to form one
of the most complete organizations in
Indian history.
It appears that a society exists on
each OF the Sioux reservationsof
which there are six--with president,
secretary and soldiers, so called by
the Indians. 1t is the duty Of the pres
ident to call regular meeting OF the
society, and the duty OF the soldiers
