Indian Discontent Over Railroad Freight Rates
About 6,000,000 pounds of Indian freight will move annually by the Sioux City and Pacific railroad. Indians formerly hauled goods 500 miles from the Missouri River earning $1 per 100 pounds. now 130 miles to the agency earns $1.80 per 100 pounds, saving the government 70 cents per 100 pounds. Pine Ridge agency alone saves about $17,000 this year. One thousand two hundred Indians work as teamsters, with 450 wagons provided by the government. Some Indians fear the railway advance will cut their income and some accuse McGillicuddy of favorable ties to the railroad.
