THE GREAT PLAINS which intervene between the
Rocky Mountains and the frontier Of settlement in
Texas Kansas and the Indian territory, are well
known TO be exceedingly sterile aud destitute oil
water in large portion Of their western extent
They thus constitute serious obstacle TO travel be
tween the cas-, and the west and their passage Is Il,
present effected with great difficulty. Two methods
OF rendering them more practicable have been suR-
gested under the auspices of the United States gov
ernment The first Is the boring of artcsan wells nj
convenient stations along all the leading routes OF
travel This has been tested on the plains in Texas
with gratifying success Its, of course, uncertain
whether water can be as easily obtained by boring in
this manner anywhere the desert but from the pc
cuiar geological structure Of that region it is bele
ed that in most places il may be. This plan would
prove costly, but in view OF the great importance OF
the routes leading through the desert the national
government should not hesitate to incur the expense
In this way the great leading routes would become
the convenient highways of travel and trade and
stations wonld be established at intervals by enter
prisng persons for the supply of provisions to tray
oilers.
The other suggestion to which we have alluded Is
the of eamels and dromedaries. A number OF
these useful animals have been imported from Arabia
by the U. S. government, and in service in
Texas Their trial has been too short tu justify AN
opinion. But they outstrp the horses with their
long strides, and as each animal will carry fourteen
hundred pounds, and go long without water the
prospect is favorable to their becoming indispensa-
bic for service the desert These two devices will
greatly facilitate the passage of the sterile and in
hospitabe tornado and the first of them win also
have the more important effect of rendering the CON
struction Of railways through that region practicable
Salt springs, and mines of "copper" iron and coal are
said to exist in various parts of this great American
desert and the working of these will doubtless be at
tempted. fany region can be made habtable, there
seems to be no equal to our in developing
it,
