TOPOGRAPHIC WORK,
OF the United States Geological
Survey in South Dakota.

OF the United States Geological
Survey in South Dakota.
The United States Geological Sur
vey has been engaged since it's or
ganization in making topographic
map of the United States, and the
systematic examination of the geol-
ogy and waters of South Dakota
have been begun and are being ex-
tended under Federal appropriations
The purpose of these investigations
is to promote knowledge Of the
state and to aid in the development
of its resources.
A topographic map is essential as
basis for the representation of the
nature and resources of the state,
and it is almost essential to the de-
velopment of the country.
South Dakota has thousands of
acres of arid land, now bearing crops
of sage brush that only need water
to transform them into productive
agricultural lands; it also has thous-
ands of acres Of timber land that
need intelligent administration to
protect them for future generations,
but in order to accomplish these
ends topographic maps are abso-
lutely necessary to show the location
OF such areas.
For the development of the min
ing interests of the state it is es-
sential to have good maps of the
mountain regions on which the pros
pector may locate his claim and
learn the distance of the same from
railroads, and where power may be
developed for the treatment of ore.
The question of the storage OF
the water supply of South Dakota is
becoming more important one ev-
cry year, and in order to study this
problem to the best advantage topo.
graphic maps of large areas should
be made in order to determine the
fall of streams, show where reser
yoires may be constructed, and tt
indicate points where power may BIZ
developed and their distance from
points Of utilization.
In this connection, for the devel
opment of power, as well as for ir
rigation purposes, it is necessar.
that all streams be gagged in orde
10 find out the amount of waite
that can be depended upon; an,
secure reliable data it is necessar
that these gagings be extended owe

William H. Taft, who spoke in de-
tense of it many times during the
campaign. If the principle of postal

lieves that it will forever stop the

those states William j. Bryan made

taken away from them by act of
congress, the democratic party would
have to turn to some other issue
four years hence. By taking decl-
slve action at this session Of congress
Senator Carter believes that the e
publican party would be playing
good politics, for the new law would
be in operation almost four years
before another presidential campaign
and the country would have ample
time to make careful study and

A SPECIAL
MESSAGE
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TAKES
ANOTHER SHOT AT THE
BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR.
STANDS FIRM ON THE POSITION
HE HAS FORMERLY TAKEN
IN THE NATTER.

Washington, Dec. 14.-The presi-
dent today sent special message
to congress, inclosing letter from
the secretary of war transmitting a
report of the investigation made by
Herbert ]. Browne, employed by the
department in conjunction with Capt.
w. G. Baldwin to investigate the
Brownsville shooting affair of Aug
ust 10 and IA, 1906. Brownies re-
port says "Ex-private Boyd Conyors,
of Co, B., 25th Inf. now of Monroe,
Ga, told William Lawson, detective,
that he and three or four others were
leaders in the Brownsville raid. :"
The president says in part, This re-
port enables us to fix with tolerable
definiteness at least some Of the
criminals who took the lead in the
murderous shooting of private cti-
zens of Brownsville and establishes
clearly the fact that colored soldiers
did the shooting The investigation
has gone far enough to enable us to
detail all the facts and we will pro-
ceed with it I believe we can af-
FORD to reinstate any of these men
who now truthfully tell what hap
9ened, giving all the aid they can to
TX the responsibility upon those who
are really guilty, show that they
themselves had no guilty knowledge
beforehand and were in no way i'm
plicated in the affair, save by hav-
ing knowledge of it afterwards and
failing and refusing to divulge it.
In addressing the senate, Senator
Foraker said that during the sum-
mer letters had Deen coming to him
from discharged soldiers Of the 25th
Inf, declaring that detectives were
constantly engaging them in con-
Versation. The senator spoke of
the activities of the detectives as out
lined by his correspondents, saying
that in many cases they went SO far
as to take up their dwelling with
discharged soldiers for the purpose
of securing their confidence and spie-
ing upon their movements. He APP
but declared there was a right way
to do it The senator took the floor
as soon as the presidents message
and accompanying documents had
been read. He read a letter from
Boyd Conyors, discharged soldier,
who is alleged to have made a con-
fession to detective Lawson In his
letter he speaks of the visit of Law
son to Monroe, Ca, where Conyors
was living, and said that he had no
private talk with Lawson. Senator
Foraker closed his address by say
ing that the presidents statement
that this espionage against soldiers
Of the 25th regiment was to be con-
tinued was additional reason for
some prompt action by the senate.

TO INVESTIGATE
THE CHARGES
COMMITTEE APPOINTED IN THE
SENATE TO INVESTIGATE
PRESIDENTS CHMARGES.
FORAKER RESOLUTION GALL.
ING FOR BROWNSVILLE AT.
FAIR IN FORMATION

Washington, Dec. 16.-The SEN
ate today devoted considerable time
to the discussion of the presidents
course in placing structures on con-
gress in the matter Of secret service
and adopting several resolutions,
proposed by Senator Aldrich and
moulded upon suggestions Of Sen
ator Culberson, providing for a
thorough investigation by the COM
mittee on appropriations of the
presidents charges, both in respect
to the acts and course that should
be taken by congress to resent the
imputations believed to have been
cast upon that body. Senator AID
rich in introducing his resolutions
made no comment but Senators
Bailey. Bacon, Tillman, Culberson
and others declared that the presi-
dents statements should be resented
by the senate as highly insulting.
Senator Foraker's resolution call
ing on the secretary OF war for in
formation concerning the work of
detectives in the Brownsville affair
was also adopted.
Except for a few minutes spent
in routine business and passage of
two bridge bills, the house Of repre-
sentatives today devoted its entire
time to the further consideration of
the bill to revise the penal laws of
the United States. The Garrett
amendment, which came over from
last night, was defeated by vote
of SO to 1903. The amendment for
bid the transmission by mail OF any
advertisement or information with
reference to dealings in futures
where the delivery of the articles
cannot be made.
The amendment by Representa-
tive Houston, of Tenn, making 1t
an offense to deposit in or ship
through the mail intoxicating liquors
was still pending when the bill was
laid aside. The amendment of Rep
resentative Humphrey, of Miss, pro-
viding for Identification OF intoxi-
eating liquors transported by inter-
state carriers caused an extended
debate.

IDENTITY NOT ESTABLISHED.
as to Parties in Jail at
DeadwOOd.

DeadWood, S. D., Dec. 15.-The
woman who is being held in the
county jail, charged with being i'm
plicated in the robbery of the safe
at Chase's store last Friday after
moon, still continues to maintain a
strict silence regarding her identity
and former history, but the man in
the case is not so reticent. He has
admitted that his name is not j. H.
Lange, as appeared on the hotel reg
lister, but is Jerry Johnson and that
his home is in Denver. He is we'll
known in political circles there and
seems to have number of friends
among certain coterie of Denver
politicians. He wired some OF his
Denver friends, informing them of
his plight and Sheriff Trathem has
received several replies which indi-
cate they are willing to do some
thing to help him out. One mes
sage is from Mike Geary, a promi-
nent Denver political leader, who
says he is surprised to hear OF the
predicament into which Johnson has
gotten himself and believes there
must be some mistake as the sus-
pected man always bore good rep
utation i'm Denver. Another tele-
gram is from Thomas w. Hyder, al
derman of the third ward in Den
yer, who says that any courtesies
which the sheriff may be able to ex-
tend to Jerry Johnson, will be APP
preciated.
Sheriff Trathen is anxious to ind
some husband by the name Of Joe"
who has lost wife. The thing
that seems to trouble Mrs. LANCE"
most is the possibility of Joe" find
ing out that she is in the tolls and
the authorities are satisfied that
Joe is her husband. She admits
that she is not the wife of Jerry
Johnson, with whom she registered
as j. H. Lange and wife, but per-
sistently refuses to give any infor-
nation about herself. When the
man and woman were arrested on
the Burlington train at Puma Fri
day evening, the woman had in her
pocket-book two tickets for Sidney,
Neb.

DECLARED A MONOPOLY.

cd Il Hard Jolt

New York, Dec. 15.-The decree
of the United States circuit court in

others, which was filed late this af-
ternoon, declared the American To-
bacco Company, the American Snuff
Company r. X. Reynolds, Pierre
Lorillar and the Black Wells Dur
ham Company to be monopoly and
engaged in an illegal ombination.
The decree restraints these holding
companies from engaging in illegal
and interstate commerce until the
competition between them is re-

HONOR NEW LEGISLATORS.
Banquet Will be rendered Hills
REPRESENTATIVES, Tlnis Evening.

Representatives This Evening.
Deadwood, S. d., Dec. 15.-The
banquet to be held in honor of the
Black Hills members of the state
legislature, rendered under the aus
pices of the Young Mems Republic
can Club, of Dpadwood, is meeting
with much enthusiasm and probably
more than one hundred will sit down
to the elaborate spread in the Frank
lin hotel at Z o'clock Wednesday
evening.
The occasion will be a forum for
the discussion of the legislative
needs of the Black Hills, and will
furnish the newly elected senators
and representatives an excellent OPP
portunity for having heart-to-
heart talk with a representative
groupe Of their constituents. For
although the Junior republicans
have undertaken the project, they
are asking and receiving the at
tendance and cooperation of the
older men of the party, and the law
makers have been invited without
regard to party lines. Those heard
from, indicate that these will be
present almost to a man, and the
ready acceptance Of invitations by
the public, accompanied by the nee
essary dollar show that the idea is
we'll received. 1t is new idea here,
but its benefits are manifold. 1t
will furnish the opportunity for leg
islators and constituents to become
better acquainted, will afford an
evening of much social and CASTRO
nomic pleasure and last but not
least, permit the solons to act with
greater confidence on many meas
ules that will demand their action
the coming months.
Among subjects likely to be dis
cussed will be the question Of in
creasing the number Of judges Of
the supreme court, game laws, the
herd law, changes in the primary
law, and any others which anyone
present cares to call I'D.

II have only one interest in the

that he had no intention of chang

dent Roosevelt's reference to that
paper In his special message to con-
gross. this morning says:
MIR. Roosevelt is mistaken. He
cannot muzzle the World. While no
amount CT 'hillingsgate' on his part
can alter our determination to treat
Elm with judicial impartiality W.
lcpeat wnnt we have already said
that congress unhesitatingly should
make a thorough investigation of
the whole Panama transaction in
order that the full truth may be
known to the American people. In
his message he does not state cor
rectly even SO simple matter as the
pretended causes of his grievance.
THE World has never said or
charged that Charles p. Plat or
Douglas Robinson made any profits
whatever. Taft denied that he was
concerned in the transaction in any
way, which denial the World pub
lished and accepted. 1t would be
entirely glad to print Robinsons
denial had it succeeded in obtain
ing one from him as it frequently
