THIRD BATTERYP|CKED
Will Represent Field Artil-
lery at New York.
WON BY SMALL MARGIN
COMPETITION AT FORT MYER
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.

WON BY SMALL MARGIN
Rivalry of the 4th Battery for the
Honor of Taking Part in the Annual
Military Athletic Tournament.

After spirited competition and months of
hard drilling the special drill detachment
of the Sd Battery of field artillery stationed
at Fort Myer, under the command of Sec
ond Lieutenant Henry S. Klbourne, jr., has
been selected to represent the field artillery
branch of the army at the annual military
athletic tournament to be held in Madison
square Garden, New York. next month.
The decision was made yesterday afternoon
after a competitive drill between TIE Sd
Battery and the 4th Battery in the riding
hall at Fort Myer. The friendly rivalry
that has existed between these two organ
izations since the Sd Battery arrived at
Fort Myer about eighteen months ago
reached its elimination in the drill yester-
day, and the fact that the Sd Battery won
out in the end means that that organization
was adjudged to be the better one to repre-
sent its branch of the service in national
meeting by board of well-qualifed judges.
bEt the winning organization won by
very narrow margin.
An Unusual Occasion.
The drill took place before a gathering
that was made up almost wholly of experts
in military matters. The fact that there
was to be a competitive drill was kept
quiet, and only a few persons were invited
to be present in addition to the officers
chosen as the board of judges.
1t has been many years since COM
petltive drill of organizations of the regu-
lar army was held in or near this city.
In fact, it has been many years since two
good organiza tons have been located to-
gether at any one post in the country ana
have been pitted against each other. y
couple years ago two selected troops of the
eth Cavalry were supposed to drill against
each other at Chicamauga Park. Ga. in the
competition for selection to represent the
cavalry arm of the service in the Madison
Square Garden tournament, but the event
could hardly be called a competition, as
one of the troops was woefully lacking In
almost everything that goes to make up 4
crack drill organization, while the oth2r
had the full advantage of selected men and
horses These competitions have been held
every year, but no two organizations have
same post, therefore there more than
usual interest in the event at Fort Myer
yesterday, and though the gathering was
restricted. as far as the public was con-
cerned, there was a large assembage of
army officers and their families. all of
whom were strongly partisan. The board
Nof officers chosen as judges included MAJ
Gen. Wallace Randolph, retired, former
chief of artillery of the army; Maj. Will

of the District of Columbia militia: First

BUSY TIMES At BELLE FOURCHE
Work Is Progressing Rapidly the Irrigation Proec-The
Magnitude OF the Project Becomes More Apparent.

The magnitude Of what is known as
Che Belle Fourche project is becoming
more apparent every day as the camps
of the graders are being established
along the line of the big ditch. Car
ioads of cement and other materials re-
CURED in the dam are coming in and
immense steam shovels are being TAX

as result Of this activity, together
with the natural advantage in bust
ness way, is experiencing boom such
as this part of the country has never
known before. Raymond E. Walter,
the engineer in charge, has been on
the ground for some time, and says
hundred teams will be employed be-
fore the summer closes. BY a year
aence he expects fully 1000 men to be
at work on the bitches and dams in
connection with this project.
The diverting dam will be on the
low town. It will be 43 feet high and
400 feet long, of concrete with steel
controlling gates, sluice gates and
bridges 1t will form lake of 200 to

Garfield to Have Inning.
Washington June 4.-Commissioner
Of Corporations Garfield will be drawn
into a controversy over his famous
beef trust report. He has made up
his MIND to pay no attention to the at
lacks being made upon him by Charles
Edward Russell in a magazine Mr.
Garfield is reading Mr.. Russell's arti-
cles with deep interest. He thinks
Mr.. Russell is an entertaining writer,
but is Of the opinion that he is little
short of facts.
After the department Of Justice has
made use of the facts furnished to it
by Mr.. Garfield, bearing on certain
illegal acts Of the beef trust, he will
prepare and issue a statement. His
forthcoming reply will answer some Of
the charges Of Mr.. Russell, as we'll as
those made by other persons.
Mr. Garfield was put in a rather
false light by the publication Of only
a portion of his report on the beef
trust. 1t is believed that when the
entire report has been printed the
popular opinion regarding the thor
oughness Of the inquiry will undergo a
change, and that it will be conceded
that MIR. Garfield was not hoodwinked
by the trust officials.

PACKING PLANT SITE SELECTED.
Independent Concern Is Assured at
Sioux Falls,

Sioux Falls.
After considering several sites. il is
announced by w. B. Davenport, indus
trial commissioner Of the Sioux Falls
board OF trade, that site has been
selected for the independent packing
plant which is to be erected in Sioux
Falls by local capitalists.
A company with a capital Of $780,
900 was recently organized The ca
pacity of the plant will be 1000 hogs
and in the neighborhood of 200 cattle a
week to start with. This will necessl-
tate the employment of about fifteen
men. AS business warrants, the ca
pacity of the plant will be increased
and more men will be added
The work Of constructing the plant
will commence at the earliest possible
moment, the intention being to have it
completed and placed in operation the
latter part of the summer. The plant
will be erected on what is known as
the old linen millsite on the Big Sioux
river, about one-half mile north of the

the depth of ten feet.
Some of the heaviest work in the
way Of excavation will be along this

it for the distribution Of water over
the country to be irrigated.
Advertising for bids on the construc-
ton of this portion of the work will be
done in about a month, and it is ex-
