ROOSEVELT TALKS ON MEA1 Suyn Some Kind * nf It Were Good anc Some Very Hud Evidently Chemically Treated. ALBANY , N. Y. , Jan. IS. Governoi Roosevelt stated today that he had writ' ton a letter to Major General Miles con > cernlng the condition of the meat furnlshcc during the Santiago expedition. Genera Miles , at Washington , has made rcferenci to the receipt of the letter. The governor as colonel of the regiment of Rough Rid' ' ore , submitted a report to the War depart ment in September last which contalnec practically the same account of the condl tlon of the beef as was set forth in hi : letter to General Miles. The governor li his letter stated that four kinds of bee were furnished to the Rough Riders fron the time they left Florida for Cuba untl their return. The first of these was cornei beef. Its quality was good. The salt In th < meat seasoned the other articles of fooi and the men found It quite palatable. Th second kind was canned roast heel which was without flavor or tast and would turn the stomachs of those wh ate It ; . It was stringy and tough and with out any qualities which would render tt flt article of food. There was but one wa In which the men could cat It , and that wa by making it Into a stew. Fresh vegetable were not always obtainable and stews coul bo made only occasionally. When the Roug Riders left Tampa a large quantity of spe dally prepared beef was placed aboard th transport on which they embarked. Thi beef was In quarters and was stored In th forward end of the transport. It had bee prepared by some special process unknow to Colonel Roosevelt , but supposed to b with eome form of solution. The transpoi was out from Tampa but a few hours whe this beef began to smell. Tiio stench wa so great that the men avoided the forwar end of the transport as much as posslbli The meat could not bo eaten and It wa thrown into the ocean. A fourth kind of bpef was served to th Rough Riders at Santiago after July 25. 1 was of good quality and was brought t Cuba in special steamers with refrigerate facilities. Governor Roosevelt's official re port was accompanied by reports of th quartermaster and surgeon ot the regimen and those of several olllccrs.

The Fonda line of the Des Molnes , North ern & Western will bo extended this year tc either Canton , S. D. , to connect with the Iowa & Dakota division ol the Milwaukee , or to Sioux Palls direct. "The Milwaukee is going to do a great deal of railroad building in Iowa this year , " declared R. . N. Calkins , general passcnget agent of the Northern , "and the Northern will come in for the biggest share. " This is a big thing for Des Molnes. II Is the best railroad news that Des Molnes has heard for years. It Is not a stub lint connection or a branch running in twelve miles to catch capital trade , but a sound trunk line reaching into a vast territory The extension of the Fonda line moans e great deal to Des Moines. The line will pass through the best counties of northwestern Iowa Buena Vista , Pocahontas , Cherokee O'Brien and possibly Lyons. The new lint Will reach that country direct , but will hav < the advantage of connection with the pareni system which controls the bulk of the busi ness in Dakota today. The Milwaukee has in store for this yeai hundreds of miles of extension. The com pany has not only made up its mind t ( extend the Des Molnes Northern & Western but will also extend the Iowa & Dakott line from Chamberlain , S. D. , to the Blact Hills country. This extension will pass ovei the reservation and tap all the cattle coun try. A bill recently passed the senate per mitting the erection of a .bridge . over the Missouri at or near Chamberlain. This extension has been talked of foi some years , hut not until lately has it takpr any definite form. The Northwestern hai controlled ell the cattle and other shipping from the Hills country In the past. Fron the fact that the. Iowa & Dakota divislot will be extended from Chamberlain it 1 ; more than likely that the connection ot th < Northern will be at Canton , S. D.

C Crocker , special agent of the general lam office , who spent about three months It looking over the Chamberlain land district When the Sioux reservation was throw : open to settlement e large number of spec ulators rushed into the coveted territory anc as a result a large area of valuable lane was covered In this way. Many of thesi claimants have since done but little It the direction of securing title to the landi and as the matter stood actual settlers wh ( have since come into the country lookinj for homes have been compelled in manj case * to Institute expensive contests in orde ; to obtain the privilege of filing upon claim : that were clearly abandoned.

In every case rcportei by the special agent where the clalman Is unable to show good faith It Is pre sumcd that the entry will at once be can celed by the general land office and th land restored to the public domain. Nov settlers will therefore bo able to secur good claims without being compelled to gi to the expense and worry of initiating i contest for the land. As fast as the Urn set for a hearing In the several cases ar rives the local land office forwards th papers to Washington , and about a dozei caess are now being disposed of dally.
