Washington, Oct 30.-The following offi-
cial statement was issued from the White
House tonight:
AT the White House the announcement
of Mr.. Rockefeller through the press
agent of the Standard Oil Co. was regard
ed with some amusement in view Of what
the administration has done to the Stand
ard Oil Co, and of the bitter hatred
borne by the Standard Oil Co to the adj
mnistraticn. 1t is a perfectly palpable
and obvious trick on the part of the
Standard Oil people to try to damage Taft
"a trick SO palpable that it can deceive
no one"

Freight Rates.

The state board of railway commits
sioners at its recent meeting in SiouA
Falls decided to take under considera-
ton the formulation of new schedule
of freight rates, for that section of the
state lying west of the Missouri River.
The new tariff viii include rates be.
tween points lying west of the river and
between points this side of the river
west of that stream.
This tariff has never been establis
aud put into effect, because the two ex-
tensions OF railroad, one by the Mil.
waukee and the other by the Norihwes-
fern, were not completed when the tar
ifs for other sections of the state was
established. The rates aIa expected to
be in effect within the next sixty days
and it is understood that the new tariff
viii reduce the freight rates prevailing
in that section of South Dakota.
Action upon this matter may be ex,
pected at the next meeting OF the COM
mission in this city on the 2eth.-Sioux

Those over anxious people who have
feared that President Roosevelt would
fall below that high dignity with which
he has hitherto invested his Office now
see that their fears were wholly un-
founded and if there are any who still
doubt let them carefully peruse the re.
cent message to Congress and they can
not but be pleased with its poise, good
sense and terse writing. This message
will make the President stronger than
he was before, as we believe that the
country is back of the Roosevelt policies
and that the further steps which he
proposes will be ratified by public SEN
timent These views are the legacy Of
Mr.. Roosevelt's administration to the
administr ations which are to follow and
while they may not find expression in
legislation this year, or next, or even
the year following, they contain seed
which is bound to bear forth good fruit
in years to come. They are, therefore,
of permanent value and deserve the
careful and thoughtful consideration OF
the American people.

Declared National Monument.

Under date of February 18th Wash
ington dispatch says, the President has
Just signed proclamation creating .he
Jewel Cave national monument within
the Black Hills national forest, South
Dakota.
This remarkable cave, which is locat-
ed thirteen miles west and south of Gus
ter, the county sea. Cf Custer county
in limestone formation, is believed by
gcologists to be an extinct geyser chan
mel. The national monument will EN-
brace an area of $50 acres.
This cave has been found to consist of
series of chambers connected by mar
row passages with numerous galleries,
the walls of which are encrusted with a
magnificent layer of calcite crystal. The
opening of the cave is situated in Hell's
Canyon, the walls Of which are high and
PERCEPTIONS.
The surface of the country in which
the cave is located consists of higa
rolling limestone plateau, about e,0o0
feet above sea level. The area is al
most entirely covered by forest Of bull
pine, considerable portion of which is
merchantable, while the remainder con-
sists of vigorous younger growth.
The Jewel Cave national monument
will now be given permanent protection
by virtue of the act of June s, 1906,
which provides that objects Of scientific
interest may De declared national monu-
ments if snch action is necessary for
their preservation.

Secretary Garfield, in his annual re.
port, recommends that the government
retain title to extensive coal lands in
the West and in Alaska which are still
within the public domain, and that their
development be permitted under leases,
as is the practice in Australia, in some
of the Western States, and in the East
where the coal lands are owned by pri-
vate individuals This plan is a part of
ihe great general policy of the conserva-
tion of national resources of forest, mine,
waterways, and water power that Presi.
dent Roosevelt is endeavoring to devel.
op along systematic lines. But unless
Mr.. Roosevelt or his immediate success
sor can force tn, appropriate legislation
from an unwilling Congress, there is
every prospect that the serious bunder
of permit ipg the monopolization of the
Western coal fields will be permitted.

ned. He has a strong company backing
him and he states that he will bring
over several London financiers on THIS
trip. He writes that Black Hills people
have no idea how the recent financial
trouble has affected American invest
ments in London. Mining securities OF
all kinds from the States are being
dumped on the London market at rnost
any price by Americans who have fill
ed in the recent money stringency. He
cites one case of mine that has pro-
duced five million dollars in gold year
ly for a long time which was offered in
London by the owners who were bit by
the Wall Street slump for 100000 which
was the original cost of the mills alone.
Mr. Bunce believes that it will be year
before American confidence is fully re-
stored in the London market. The re.
cent trouble In money matters has been
many times enlarged upon by the Lon
don press to the extent that anything
American Is looked upon with suspi-
ciou throughout the Kingdom. Not

deals, He is associated with mining

GOOD NEWS FOR
BLACK HILLS SETTLERS.
Washington, February T. 1908.

Washington, February z, 1908.
Mr.. Joseph Kubler Custer, S. d.
| have today learned of something
which think will be Of particular in
terest to you and meny of the settlers in
the Black Hills National Forest. A bill
providing for an emergency appropria-
ton available at once to cover cost of
advertising of agricultural lands recon-
mended for listing under the Act of
June II, 1906, has passed both houses
and is now awaiting the presidents sig
nature.
As you know, there are many settlers
within the Black Hills National Forest
whose lands were examined and recon-
mended for listing under the provisions
of this Act during the past summer, but
who were unable to make entry of the
same at the land Office in Rapid City as
the special appropriation providing for
the advertisement OF such lands was
exhausted before all such lands recon-
mended for listing had been advertised,
and ! think they will be particularly
well pleased to learn that they will soon
be able to make the long expected entry
at Rapid City.
Very sincerely yours,
