that the traveller can reach 80 of the
81 organized counties on the Milwau-
kee road. While this new move Of
that road with their extensive build
ing in the northwest part of the state
will not help Pierre directly, it will
do so ultimately, because it will de-
velop a rich country about 200 miles
square. This recent development
will no doubt cause some other roads
to do some building. 1t is commended
by the Northwestern people that thew
will do no building this year, except
a snort extension in Trip county.
This means that the Milwaukee will
get the haul for all the new settle
ment in the northwest corner of the
state. Their line from Rapid City
to the line from the Big Meadow
country will be the closest connec-
ton for the settlers in the while Owl

iy by the Northwestern. The line of
building is to be rushed as hard as
possible and unless the Minneapolis
& s.. Louis road can circumvent them
the Milwaukee will be practically the
sole beneficiary of the great opening
of the Standing Rock and CHEYENNE
Indian reservations. Their grading

The South in the Tariff Bill

The fact is that the agricultural
and industrial South is very we'll
looked after in the tariff measure that
is now approaching its final form. In
compliance with party platforms and
sectional and party traditions, to be
sure, the Southern democrats in
Congress must seem to demand a gen
orally lower tariff and a more rapid
approximation toward the revenue
principle as opposed to the protective
theory. 1t is nevertheless true that
these gentlemen are feeling quite
complacent; and they are not going
to antagonize the majority party at
the present moment beyond the point
required by a decent sort of consis-
tency, and by a moderate amount of
foresight as regards the congression-
al elections of November, 1910. The
sugar and rice of the Gulf States, as
we'll as the oranges and lemons of
Florida and the tobacco of other
southern states, are all handsomely
protected by the pending measure,
and so also r most of the other
products, agricultural, mineral, and
industrial, of all the region extending
from Virginia to Texas. The two i'm
portant articles most threatened
were iron ore and common lumber.
The prospect seems to be that iron
ore, which was made free by the
Payne bill, and which was made
dutiable at a few cents per ton in
the Aldrich bill, will carry a small
duty in the completed measure. AS
for the common grades of manufac-
tured lumber, which the agricultural
states of the northwest desire to have
placed on the free list, in order %
have access to the Canadian forests as
against the present duty of 81 per
1000 feet, it is now probable that in
the finished measure there will be
found a lumber duty of not less than
81 per 1000 feet. New England,
which desires to obtain coal from
Eastern Canada without paying duty,
may succeed in having that article
kept upon the free list, although the
South would prefer for double rea-
sons Of advantage, to maintain the
tariff upon an article which nature
has SO abundantly deposited in the
lower Appalachian region. The South
has plenty of coal to ship by rail and
water to points further north and it
can also use the coal at its doors to
enable it to build up manufacturing
as against New England, where the
cost of fuel is a serious handicap. A
little study of the situation in con-
crete detail will show why Southern
statesmen who have the habit of talk
ing free trade in the abstract have
become very partial toward protec-
ton in the concrete.-From "The
Progress of the World" in the Amer
lean Review of Reviews, for May.

The Milwaukee Making Good.

Pierre Capital Journal: In these
days when wonders never cease the
people are not SO surprised as they
would have been twenty years ago
at some things that take place. But
nevertheless, there are some things
taking place in South Dakota just
now that mean a revolutionizing of
communication between the different
sections of the state. Three years
ago 1t took one thousand miles travel
to reach the capital from a point 200
miles distant. Today the same point
can be reached by rail in a few short
hours. Yet a greater change is now
to take place at once. The Chicago
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad has
a line across the north edge of the
state. They traverse the eastern por-
ton from Elk Point to Big Stone and
from Mitchell to Rapid City. Now
they will build at once from Mo-
bridge southwest going through the
coded lands of the Standing Rock and
Cheyenne reservations, over Perkins
county and down to Belle Fourche.
They will pass south of the great
Belle Fourche irrigation dam and go
into Belle Fourche connecting with a
line from Rapid City to the same
place which will pass east of Sturgis,
Piedmont and Whitewood and going
into the county seat of Butte county
they will continue on northwest
through what is known as the Powder
river country in Montana. The Powd-
river line may not be built until

The Western Pacific has been an eX

are that considerably less than $500OD

Nevada and Idaho would probably sup

editor of the Rocky Mountain Times,

more Japanese In Utah than In either

the Japanese exclusion question
In Utah, says Mr.. IIda, there are
about GOO Japanese, and In Salt Lake

Garfield are 80 Japanese laborers. all
of whom work eIght-hour shifts and

the Japanese in Utah are laborers and
could not start In business. During
the summer months many work In the
beet fields and In the winter lind en-
ploynfent in the cities. In Salt Lake
are 40 Japanese In permanent busl-
ness AS far as | know there Is but
one Japanese society In Utah. and that

general business interests of the mem

Few Japanese wish to be land owners,
but all wish to have the right, If they

S. Watanava, registered at the State
University under the name Of Charles
Watson and student of law, said
yesterday that he felt the sentiment in
California, Idaho and Nevada TO be
decidedly unfair toward the Japanese,

as their home government protection
goes. as the nation of Japan can not
negotiate with any individual state.

taken to the scene, but although the
neighborhood was carefully searched,
no suspicious character could be To-

any description of the men, and was
so excited the police had difficulty in
