Indian discontent grows as railroad cuts freight earnings
The Sioux City and Pacific railroad will haul 6,000,000 Ibs of Indian supplies yearly from Pine Ridge and other agencies. Indians formerly earned $1.00 per 100 pounds for river-to-agency transport, but now receive $1.80 for 130 miles, saving the government 70 cents per 100 pounds and about $17,000 this year at Pine Ridge. About 1,200 Indians work as teamsters, with 450 wagons provided by the government. some plan cattle ventures, and tensions rise as revenue declines and suspicions grow about McGillicuddy's friendliness to the railroad.
