RAILROAD BUILDING ASSURED
Interview With Aberdeen Gentle

An Aberdeen gentlemen who re-
Gently returned from Chicago, where
he met a number of Milwaukee rail-
road officials and talked with them
about the extensions in this state,
said to a representative of this paper
this week: Aberdeen may rest as
sured that the proposed building by
the Milwaukee road means more to it
than to any other city in the country,
relatively. ! am sure that all the
work of construction west of Eyarts.
except such as may be undertaken
from the coast end, will be done
through Aberdeen as headquarters.
All the men will be hired from here:
the material will be shipped through
Aberdeen and the offices which will
have charge at the work will at least
have representatives here. This will
almost certainly bring much business
to the CITY,"
II consider the story to the effect
that a new line will be built from
Roscoe to the river absolutely absurd.
1t can have no basis other than
the fertile imagination of some sensa-
tional newspaper. In the first place
it is not likely that the state would
allow the present track to be torn up
and the towns left without a road and
in the second place the grade now
used is the best that can be had. IT
crosses a ridge, the highest point of
which is at or near Java. The town
Bangor was passed up because it is on
higher ground than could be found
just north, so you see the engineers
that surveyed the present line were
not imbeciles. Nowsas to the line fol.
lowing the Moreau river. Why. I
have talked with a number of Mil.
Waukee officials and l never heard one
or them even suggest that the road
would follow the river. 1t would re-
quire bridges at the rate of about six
to a mile and some awful grades while
along the cattle trail, on the divide. a
very even sort of a grade can be Sc.
cured. | am informed, on the best
authority there is, that the Mil
Waukee will ship cattle from the
other side of the river next fall.n

that they could hardly keep on thelr
horses. This is what the Indians say
at all events. incidentally, a lot OF
this trash that goes the rounds of the
magazines about every so often on
Custer makes me tired. The purpose
of it all is to cast as much opproblum
on Reno as possible and make custer
out a hero. Some day the true story
will be told.
THE PROGRESS OF CIVILIZATION
1t is hard for us to understand, here
where a sermon or charity is preached
in every church about every SO often,
that the Indian custom of giving
freely of what he has to his nelghoof
that hath not is one Of the things
which causes the white men who are
trying to teach them to be self support
ing the most trouble. Another thing
is their passion for travel. thought
of this as we.hiked along, up one NH
and down the next, through rain ana
snow, mud and sand, hot, cold and
Indifferent, enjoying it every day, Tor
we were but reverting back to a c0nd'-
tion Of life from which our forefathers
emerged only after centuries OF $40"
progress. Storgaard however, plned
for the sea. He comes Of a race OF
pirates and is proud of it. Be that as
it may, the Indians are still IN that
state of life where they obey their
natural impulses to pick up ana go
and that is one reason: why they do
not accumulate more property.
Cows cannot accompany them.
Chickens, if left, are eaten by the
coyotes. Pigs go the same way.
Weeds springup in the corn and there
you ire They all go to the schools
for graduation and graduation comes
in June, just when they ought to be
at home. But they are very proud of
their children and it is that pride
that takes them away. Then they all
go some where to celebrate the Fourth
of July. Odd, but a fact. And so it
goes. Slowly but surely they are be-
ginning to see thatif they keep their
cattle a few years, instead of killing
them off, that they will increase much
more rapidly as the herd grows. They
are doingpretty we'll, though, it seems
to me, all things considered.
A curious thing, is that while the
government seeks to get the Indians
to raise grain, they have neither
market for it nor a mill of any kind,
except little coffee mills, on the
reservation. Consequently, while the
Indians get the blame for not caring
for the crops the squaws are today
obliged to grind their corn into meal
ia a coffee mill.
This concludes the series of articles
which have been running in this
paper for some weeks. l earnestly
hope that they may have contributed.
even if but very little, to a better
! knowledge Of the undeveloped re-
sources of this great state. 1t should
not be forgotten that the Indians will
some day be citizens of the state and
that their welfare and prosperity is a
matter of concern to all.

LIKE A MEDIEVAL CASTLE.
subterranean Passages, Secret Staircase
and yaulted Chambers.

New York, Aug. subterranean
passages, leading from a secret stair
case to stone vaulted chambers beneath
the old Tilden mansion in Gramerey
park, have been brought to light by the
contractors engaged in tearing ont and
remodelling the structure, which is now
under course of transformation into the
home for the national Arts club. Many
other peculiatities exist in the mansion
which must have been the conception Of
Samuel J. Tilden himself, and which
have remained undiscovered up to this
day, although the famous old dwelling
has housed many tenants since his re-
moyal TO Greystone in 1870, where he
died in August 1856.
There is legend among the old time
residents of the neighborhood that Til.
den, who reused host of enemies by
the part he took in the exposure Of the
Tweed Ring, had a fear Of secret as
sassination and builded his house ac-
oordingly.

for instance, has actually decreased in

In the meantime, those who had
been to view the body in the yestry re-
turned. 1t was evident from their
manner, and the short time they had
been absent. that no Identification
had taken place.
Ted Burritt, with his heart beating
wildly now, turned in the same direc-
ton. On the extemporized bier body
lay, the lower limbs OF which were
covered with a cloth, leaving the face
and the upper part of the body ex-
posed to view. Ted Burritt saw that
it was the face of a man of about
fifty years of age, with features that
must have been handsome in their day
but which in death wore an expression
Of agonized expectancy-the ex-
preston of one who recognized the
full horror of the fate that awaited
him.
1t was the face of his own father.

listener chosen TO lend an ear in their
direction, he continued out loud:

self My names Cartwright-Jere-

Ted Burritt turned toward him with
something like an appearance OF in

went on:
