If some day the newspaper man
should print the contents of his waste
basket there would probably be a

would certainly be trouble in many
homes, arrests in some direction,
shotguns in others, trouble all
around. But the patron never sees
the waste basket. He only glances
at the beautifully printed pages,
complains if one letter in fifty is
upside down, growls his disappoint-
ment if one name in five hundred

because his communication signed
TAX Payer" has been condensed

cause the editor didn't take his ad-

disgruntled, not so much at what he
fails to find. He knows his share
OF the waste basket, but if he could
have one look at the contributions
made to that receptacle by his neigh
bors and friends, he would thank
God for the existence of man with
sufficient intelligence and courage
not to print all he knows, and to
temper even that which he does

lew Line COMPLETED,

The Burlington's new line from
Memo to Piedmont is now ready
for business. Conductor Otto Rem
er went out Sunday and brought a
string of bunk cars in from Pied
mont to Englewood, Charley Frances
having finished the track-laying job
assigned him and his men.
The new track down Stage Barn
Canyon is about sixteen miles long
with some grades guaranteed to
make the engines wheeze and sput-
ter. At that the line is an improve
ment over the branch that formerly
ran down Elk Creek Canyon and
washed out every rainy spring.
Material from Calcite for the
Homestake company can now be
handled via Piedmont and Memo.
The run from Piedmont to Lead un-
der the changed order Of things is
approximately forty-four miles. For
magnificent scenery Stage Barn Can

A NEW INDUSTRY.

Andrew Carnegie made a fortune
of many millions out of the unex-
plotted natural resources of his
adopted country and the American
patriotism which insisted on a pro-
tective tariff on steel and iron high
enough for Andrew to rake off his
millions. 1t is worth while to notice
that one effect of the protective tar
iff in the United States is the found
ing of new industry in Paris. The
rewards offered by the Carnegie hero
fund have stimulated the street
urchins there to make a real busi-
ness Of falling into the Seine and be-
ing rescued by their chums. Sad to
relate the police broke up the indus
try. Lots were drawn to determine
which boy should fall into the river
and details were made for the rescu-
ing force. When the rescuing "hero"
pulled the other boy out his name
was recorded in the papers and went
on the list for the Carnegie disburs-
ing bureau. Regret is general that a
new industry calling for so much
business sagacity and physical cour-
age should be disturbed.

Woodmen, and the complaint sets
forth in so many words that the To-
cal branch of the order has $426.SO
coming from Mr.. Vincent.
In cold every day English, the
charge preferred against the defen-
dant who has not been seen around
town for several weeks, is embezzle-
ment. 1t is reported also that Vim
cent is short in his accounts with
various insurance companies and
his partner Henry Ojala. If this is
the case the matter has not yet been
brought into court.
Vincent served as clerk of the
Woodmen for several months and in
that capacity handled large sums of
money.
He went into the real estate and
insurance business after the shut
down last November.
His present whereabouts are un-
known but the chances of his early
apprehension and return to answer
the charges filed in County Judge
RusselPs court are considered good.

ROOSEVELT OUTLINES HIS
VIEWS ON THE TARIFF LAW

eloUH FALLS. S. d. Sept. Sex
president Roosevelt today broke his
silence in regard to the administra-
ton. He heartily commended one
phase of it, although he said nothing
that could be construed as a defence
OF the administration as a whole. He
confined himself to the work which
Taft has done for the establishment
OF the principle of regulating the tar
III through a commission and to the
presidents success in the conduct of
negotiations with foreign powers, for
the application Of the new tariff law.
Roosevelt also outlined clearly his
position in regard to the tariff. He
reiterated his belief in the need of
the regulation of duties by means of
commission and declared that the
tariff should be in the interest of the
working man and not for the benefit
OF the comparatively few wealthy
men. Il believe in such a measure
OF protection as will equalize the
cost OF production here and abroad.
That is as will equalize the labor
cost" said he. 81 believe in such
supervision of the workings of the
law as will make it certain that pro-
tected industry gives that difference
to the men that we are most anxious
to protect, the working men, and If l
find it is not giving it, I would take
off the tariff duty from that particu-
lar thing"
The colonel passed through parts
of four states today, and everywhere
along the line of travel was received
by enthusiastic crowds. Starting
from Omaha early in the day, he
crossed into Iowa and thence across
the corner of Minnesota into South
Dakota. The people turned out with
bands to welcome him and he made
speech after speech from the rear
platform of his car. Four hundred
persons attended dinner given Roos-
velt here this evening. The colonel

THE FICTION OUTPUT.

In circular sent out by a news
paper syndicate the statement Is
made that it receives in the mails
every year thirty-six thousand stor-
les, long and short. For the benefit
&C the uninitiated it may be ex-
plaiued that aside from the maga-
zines there exist number of organ
izations that offer for sale to news
rapers and periodicals approved
short stories or novels for serial
publication. These are called syn
dicates because they syndicate"
their output, that is, sell it to
number Of publications for simultan-
eous printing. There is one con-
Germ in Chicago that sells nothing
but short stories, one and two col
Lmns in length, and it will agree
to send any number of these each
day for as long as the editor desires
them. These facts are being mar
lied merely to point out the fact
that there must be a tremendous
number of persons engaged In
writing fiction in this country. Some
of it is very good, more of it is
fairly good and much of 1t isn't real
ly worth reading. We are a fiction
reading people, however, and most
of us are not very critical. A thrill
is what we want, and the author
who can thrill US best gets our ap-
plause. notwithstanding this tre-
mendous output, there Is still de-
mand for fiction of the better class.
Thousands of the stories sent out by
budding authors filled with sweet
hope come back and come back, and
finally find resting place in a desk
piegon-hole. Every once in a while
the cid story about how some ia
nous masterpiece was rejected re-
peatedly only to finally fall into the
hands of the right man, who printed
it and thereby won fortune for him
self and fame for his author, goes
the rounds, and is one of the things
the postoffice department relies upon
to keep up stamp sales. Writing
stories is not very profitable occu-
patton, since many are written and
few accepted, but there is one COM
pensation, the delight of writing 1t
counterbalances the detection that
follows, upon rejection.

tically the entire community of the
district. About 1000 acres were
burned over, in district lying to
the north of the Custer Peak Mining
company ground and extending east
of Hank Walters ranch. The latter
was burned over, but the buildings
were saved ,as were also the struc-
lures on the ANA Queen mining
ground.
The fire near Mystic was being at
tackled yesterday by ninety men
thirty of whom were furnished by
the Burlington. Last night this fire
was reported to be surrounded and
under control. At Redfern and in
the country to the east of it, where
400 men have been fighting fire for
the past four days, the situation is
greatly improved and last night the
Burlington brought up on a special
train 100 men who had been sent
down from Deadwood and Lead. On
the whole the forest officers have ac-
complished most creditable work and
unless there is a long continued per
iod Of drought, should be over the
worst Of their labors in the fire fight

FIRST OIL BURNER
ENTERS DEADWOOD.

The first oil burning locomotive to
enter this city, brought the North
western passenger train into Dead
wood yesterday and as an evidence
of its efficiency ON mountain roads,
pulled into the station a few minutes
ahead of time. The train was in
charge of Conductor Valentine and
Engineer Cooley.
This marks a decided step in the
matter of improving the passenger
service on the Black Hills division
of the Northwestern and will doubt
less be followed by other lines. The
one great object that will be attain
ed by the use of oil instead of coal
for fuel, will be the almost entire
elimination of the possibility of
starting forest fires and there will be
the additional advantage of in
creased comfort of passengers, who
will be relieved of the annoyance
and damage to clothing, incident to
the SCOT and cinders of the old time
coal burning locomotives. The fire.
men on the run also come in for re-
lief from the heavy work which for
merly fell to them, for now instead
Of shoveling from ten to fifteen tous
o. coal on a run, they discharge
their duties by the simple regulation
of valve which controls the flow
of oil.
There are at Chadron two more
OF! burners which have been secured
for this division and will be in use
within the next week or ten days.
They are now being regulated and
will be given short trial runs be-
fore being sent out on the trip TO
Deadwod. For almost two years
past oil burning engines have been
used on the west division T. the
Northwestern, between Chadron AID
Lander, where they have given en-
tire satisfaction and are said to cost
less to operate and maintain that
the coal burners. The oil supply
comes from the fields near Lander
and its quality is said to be entire
ly suitable for the purpose.
The matter of using oil burners
on the Black Hills division of the
Burlington has been under consider
alton for a long time past, but they
are somewhat handicapped in no:
Laving as convenient an oil field
from which to draw their supply as
the Northwestern. There is howev-
er an excellent prospect of an early
development of the fields at Rocky
Ford, Wyo, and at other points In
that vicinity, which would put them
in position equal to, If not better,
than the Northwestern as far as the
Black Hills division is concerned.
