Garfield Speaks at Last

1t will now be in order for those
papers that have so freely promised
Commissioner Garfield's beef report
to admit their hysterical TRADE
against the commissioner was car
ried on without reason or good
sense. In these days of almost uni
versal graft in public Office it is a
pleasure for us to make note of the
fact when an official is cleared OF
suspicious OF that character.
The facts of the report are as fol-
lows:
cat the time Of the publication of
she report, the department of just
ice had under advisement proceed
ings against packing companies and
their officers for violation of the fed
eral anti. trust law. 1t was obvious,
therefore, that the publication of
the information possessed by the
bureau on the subject was mex pedi-
ent at that time, and accordingly,
by the direction Of the president, all
the information possessed by the
bureau on the subject of combina-
tion was withheld from publication.
Although this fact was set forth in
the published report, the failure to
treat therein of the question of COM
bination was the subject of criticism
A further ground of criticism was
the failure of the report to treat of
determinations by means of private
car companies. At the time of max.
ing the report, the extent and gov
ernmental control over such compa-
nies was the subject Of pending liti-
CATION, and it would have been i'm
proper to anticipate the decision by
assuming in advance any jurisdic-
tion over them.
"Other criticisms were directed at
the accuracy of the figures and con-
clusions relating to prices and prof
its, but only a few tended to dis
prove any specific statement in the
report, and those particular criti-
cisms were based upon figures Sc
cured by estimates. or taken from a
few isolated instances, and hence
did not disprove the results stated
in the report, which were based on
general averages obtained from fig
ures covering the entire industry
and the slaughter of several millions
of animals. In no case was any in
formation thus given that would be
of real assistance in correcting fig
ures had they been found inaccu-
rate"

Milwaukee CUTS DEADWOOD
THE DEADwOoD DELEGATION
GETS TURNED DOWN.
ANOTHER pEAuwoop HOPE GONE
The Milwaukee Will Run Branch
from Rapid to Deadwood if
they have the Business.

The Milwaukee will not build to
Deadwood in spite of the assertions
to the contrary by the papers from
that section. The facts are that the
enthuiastic delegation which Dead
wood sent to Chicago to induce the
road to run branch from here to
the mining camp up the gulch were
unsuccessful in getting any assur.
ance of the road building in.
The committee was informed that
it was the custom of the Milwaukee
company to put out spurs as often
as the business demanded, from the
main line, fact that required no
delegation visit to learn. Railroads
are built into sections that have
business enough to make the lines
profitable. Ii Deadwood ever sue
ceeds in getting enough business to
make a branch from here pay-then
it will be built and not It'll then.
The Milwaukee would undoubtedly
built its line from here to the top of
Devils Tower-if it would pay.
Those familiar with the new busi5
ness conditions that are being
brought about in favor of Rapid City
and against Deadwood agree the
Milwaukee will probably reach the
top of the tower every bit as soon
as it will arrive in Deadwood.
The Deadwood sPioneer.Times last
week in one of it's hysterical TRADES
against Rapid City's future, made
the statement that the Milwaukee
had decided not to come to Rapid
City after ALL The officials of the
road themselves have not as yet
discovered that their plans have
been changed, Their crews are
working right along within our city
limits grading, etc. for the road.
Deadwood really ought to send that
delegation back to Chicago to inform
them of the mistake they are making
Such powerful and influential dele
CATION as that could no doubt cause
those blind and benighted Milwau-
kee fellows to see the light. .,
The facts are that every spike
that is driven in this line means
another nail in Deadwood's coffin
and no one knows it better than
Deadwood. The handwriting on the
wall is plain for Deadwood and the
words are; ''you are back num-
ber.''

GENERAL NOTES,

The name Of Charles Boursel,.
French soldier, is put forward as the
first inventor Of the telephone as long
ago as 1854. This too modest French
man was content to merely challenge
scientists to prove that the laws of
physics contradicted his theory. An
American impressed with the same
idea went to work to demonstrate that
no law of physics stood in the way and
reaped the reward of his daring.

With this issue the Union starts
on its twentieth year. During that
time it has appeared regularly each
week under several different man
agements and we doubt il the out
look at the commencement Of any
former volume was brighter than
the present future seems to be. With
three railroads building to the city,
new enterprises starting almost ev-
cry day, the streets thronged With
new faces-the starting Of the new
year in the life Of this paper is
made under auspicious circum-
tances. &.
Several changes have been made
in the 'make-up" of the paper and
it is with the hope that the changes
may be of value and that many more
we have in mind may in short
while be placed in force for the bet
terment of the paper and its grow

tatives.

Senator Gambie has habit OF
handing out news to the press rep
resentatives that gives him promi-
nence in WASHINGTON news-as his
distinguished appearance also makes
him conspicuous on the floor of the
senate. He also has cordiality in
his hand-shake which is IRRESISTIBLE.
Senator Kittredge has mum"
habit which puzzled the correspon-
dents for some time after he came
to Washington but they now recog-
nize that there is a store of wisdom
above that silent tongue and they
are charmed by his modesty and
gentle manners. Proof of any
mans popularity with Washington
newspaper correspondents, is an in
vitation to Gridiron Club dinner.
The Gridiron club is an association
OF newspaper men whose member
ship is limited to forty and made up
from the most brilliant scribes at
the national capital. To be guest
at Gridiron dinners is distinguish
ed and highly coveted honor. Even
but fe" senator's are invited, but
Kittredge is u delighted and de-
lightful guest at each and every on.
OF those feasts characterized by fun,
frolic and satire of an order entirely
unique.
Mr.. Burke is an active member of
congress and is usually full oil South
Dakota news. He is a busy man
and has to be caught on the fly"
He does not always stop to tell all
he knows. Strange to relate, that
robs him Of some popularity which
otherwise he might possess among
members of the press gallery. His
membership on the committees Of
Indian affairs and Interstate and
foreign commerce takes much of his
time and perhaps he prefers to at
tend to business rather than to
spend more time in telling what he
is doing and how he is doing it.
Congressman Martin is approach
able, amiable and gives the i'm
preston that he is both frank and
sincere; nevertheless he does not
always yield information to the
satisfaction Of the interviewer. Ifit
were not for his modesty-and prob
ably his prudence as well-the

Railroad Man Arrested.

{ Western STAR Chief Engineer
Decker of the Northwestern survey

from their camp on the Forks the
first of the week and gave out the
intelligence that W. H. Gordon alias
Il. ]. Freeman, was put under arrest
last Tuesday by U. S. Marshal
Laughlin at Pierre. AS near as can
be leal ned Gordon is wanted by the
authorities of Memphis, Tenn, on a
charge of defalcation to the extent
of $4,000 while he was the teller OF
a leading bank there. On April 9th
1904, upon the banks detention of
his distractions he fled, going from
one place to another, and finally to
Costa Rica, evidently knowing that
that country had no extradition
treaty with the United States, ana
remained there until his health was
undermined to such an extent that
he was compelled to return to this
temperate climate, and upon his re
turn he took a position with the
Northwestern Surveying crew, being
himself skilled surveyor and hav-
ing graduated from Uncle Sam s
Academy at West Point. 1t is said
that Gordon comes of prominent
family OF Memphis and his abstrac-
tions were the result of investment
in the cotton speculations, and when
the market fell he lost everything
When arrested he quietly remarked
that he would go to Memphis with
