and they will be wise.
The force in the freight depot of the
railroad company at Pierre seems to be
call balled up" with work. The amount
of freight being shipped to Pierre is
stupendous. The big freight ware.
house is completely filled every day, and
lot of the freight is compelled to be
left in the box cars on the side tracks
until space can be provided for it in the
big warehouse This is one penalty the
Northwestern railroad is standing for
taking hand in creating the big land
boom in this part of the state. The
railroad company seems to be
''swamped" in caring for the immense
amount of freight that is shipped into
Pierre, for disposal amongst our mer-
chants and for the thousands Of settlers
who have gone west of the river. The
Northwestern with all its powerful
resources, don't seem to be able to cope
with the situation at Pierre at the pres.
ent time With the freight business
here and its extension west to the
Black Hills the Northwestern manage
ment no doubt realizes that Pierre is
outside of Chicago. The management
is also coming to realize that Pierre is
bound to become the best city on its
through line from Chicago to the Paci-
fic coast, and is making preparations
to enlarge the facilities here for the
prompt handling of all kinds OF traffic,
both passenger and freight.
Hon. G. j Bach, commissioner of
school and public lands is moving his
family from the residence he has leased
the past four years, in East Pierre, to
their home in Hurley, Turner county.
During the residence of Mr.. Bach and
family in Pierre they !.ave made many
friends, and it will be matter of uni
versal regret that the city is to lose
them. Mr.. Bach has made a record in
the state office he has held that may be
equaled but not exceeded by any of his
proved himself to be perfect 1t is not
often that men of Mr. Bach's ability and
integrity are willing to sacrifice then
own business interests to serve the
state for the small salary that attaches
to his position. The Free Press
ventures that MI. Bach may be hearc
from again in state politics, and we
would not be disappointed if he NIGH
again come to Pierre, in a few years
hence, and be addressed as governor.
