to believe that bad ties We're directly
responsible for the wreck.

turned home. a messenger brought
him word that the railroad men were
going to burn the ties for 100 yards on
both sides of the wreck. Mr.. Cook,
accompanied by Sheriff Acond. rushed

Pierre.-A general council of the
Sioux Indians of Cheyenne river res
ervation has been called at On the
Trees Camp, beginning June %, and
all male Indians over Is years of age

removal of the agency office to a cen
trail place on the reservation. At pres
ent it is on the Missouri river. just OPP
posite Forest City, and a long way
from the western Indians on the re-
serve. In the old days when the In
dams had nothing to do but to drive
to the agency when they wanted 70
consult with the agent, time and dis
lance were not of any great conse-
quence But now that they are set.
Ting down to farming and looking af-
ter themselves to a much larger ex-
tent than in the old days, the time
required to make the trip to the
agency is an element to be consid-
cred. Beside the location question,
other matters to be considered at this
council are the adoption of a constitu-
ton and bylaws applications for trans
fers. adoptions and enrollments which
are pending, besides the clearing up
OF unfinished business of former cOun-

mary survey on the Cheyenne river
irrigation project. He says the main
party has beer SO far at work on the

in the basin. and that this work will
take some time yet to complete. Some
of the party are running the prelimi-

the basin reservoir out INTO the coun.

this work will be completed before the
attempt is made to run the lines out

PRESENT ONE Is UNSAFE
A Government Sweatshop.

The following is a description
of conditions prevailing in the
Geological Survey here, given the
House Committee on Public Build
ings and Grounds by DIR. George
Otis Smith, director of the sur
yey:
That property which Is there
subject to the risk of being de-
stroyed by fire. has a replacement
value of 100000. Our rent, for
insufficient quarters, is now s37.-
400, and the lowest estimate I
have on the possible increase of
efficiency in our force is Is per
cent There are some who esti-
mate that increase Of efficiency
up to 80 and even so per cent.
That would be possible If we fur
nlshed our employees with light
and air. They have less air. less
cubic capacity of the rooms. than
Is allow in a public building, in
accordance with the standards of
to-day. Many of our EMPLOYEES
nave less than one-half of the
cubic capicity of air allowed in
barracks, and these people are
supposed to be working there I'M
Ter those conditions.

Assistant Secretary of State Hale ''is to
be the master of functions and that
you provide In that building a hotel and

dence for potentates?'
II notice in the paper" said Sisson.
that after the building is completed
Secretary Hale win be called upon to go
forth each morning and learn whether
Prince So-and-So slept well; whether his
eggs are to his liking. and SO on"
When the question was next brought
up In hearings on the sundry civil bill
last March no mention was made OF the
living suites in Mr.. Taylor's description
of the building. these features having
been eliminated in the interim. Chair
man Fitzgerald. however, was not in
clined to view with favor the State
dining-room, service kitchen. and as
sembly hall. remarking that I'VE are
not running hotels in the public build
ings.'
Verltable Firctrnp.
But IL members of Congress are not
impressed with the necessity for lmme
diate action on the new departmental
buildings, Chairman Sheppard and
others on the House Buildings and
Grounds Committee are very much i'm
pressed with the wisdom of getting the
Geological Survey out of its present
domicile. Having verified by personal
inspection the reports of ''sweat-shop'
conditions there, lack of light and air
and, in one instance, lack Of room In
which to stand up straight. they are
ANXIOUS to remedy the condition at the
earliest possible day.
The property is not a fireproof struc-
ture and, in the opinion OF members of
the committee, would prove vertible
fire trap for employees IL a conhagration
was allowed to get a fair start. There
have been a number of fires In the build
ing already. DIR. George Otis Smith. d.
rector Of the Geological Survey, declares
that a new building should be erected
