About one year ago the first home

Since that time, some twelve hun

about one-third OF the whole county.
The remainder is still vacant and re-
mains to be gwen away to actual
settlers. The county is waterel by
the Solomon Biver, and several large
creeks wi.!ci afford plenty OF water
for stock and other purposes. A
narrow belt Of eimbcr along the river
and mos. of the creeks affords con.
siderable building material and fuel
