require little moisture. In the gulches grow
stunted cottonwood, box elder, choke cherry,
ash, and creeping Juniper which
is very pretty to see. The
extraordinary broken character of
this region, taken together with the almost
impossible fords of the rapid-running Little
Missouri river, made this region so difficult
to travel over that the French voyagers and
trappers-the first white men to explore this
regon-spoke of it as difficult country to
pass over"-"Mauvaises terres pour traver-
ser''-which the Americans have shortened
to ''Mauvaises terres' and translated briefly
as dad lands" a meaning never intended, as
it gives the idea that they are not fit for past
ure, much less for grain raising, which is not
the case.
On behalf OF both residents and railroad
company, as well as emigrants, this matter
should be understood, and the name ''Pyra-
mid PARK be applied to the entire region.
While not equal by one-haf to even the
billy parts of central Indiana, much OF this
region, except for lack of wood and water, is
better than Brown county, while portions OF it
resemble, as Horace Rublee remarked, the
photographs of the craters of the moon.
Through a ten-mile ride from Little Missouri
City to the burning mountain" where the
party lighted their cigars from the sulphur
rous flames which for ages have issued from
the crevlces of the buttes, the road was sue
cession of canons, ravines and gulches, dry
as Gehenna. These were edged and bounded
by lodges and pyramids of alternating layers
of clay and rock, beset with glistening mass
es of crystalline gypsum, and often crowned
with vermillion tops OF iron-stone.
There are no mountains OF upheaval; the
rocks and cays are those of deposition from
water. The whole country was compare
lively level plateau, and the hills, Duties
and table-lands are the remnants of this pla-
teau.
The clays and rocks of the intervening
gulches and valleys have been eroded by
the action of the water and the debris trans
ported by the great Missouri river and de-
posted all the way from Little Missouri to
the Gulf of Mexico. Fire and water, Plutus
and Neptune, have fought the battle between
land and sea. In Pyramid Park we see the
recent battlefield of the giants, and the strug-
gle still goes on.
We have seen no glacial clay, gravel or
powders since before leaving Bismarck, The
geologic page lies plainly open, unshadowed
by bush or tree; no drift to cover the work of
heat and moisture In their gigantic play. To
him who will look about Dakota and Mon
tana are as the two leaves of the open book.

TelepllOniC.

In his rounds yesterday, the reporter ran
across Mr. D. M. Clover, of the Southwest
ern Telephone company, stationed here.
After some pumping, he divulged the very
gratifying news that it is the design of the
N ANY to connect all towns and cities of
any Importance in north Texas with Dallas,
provided, those towns and cities will guar
antee living support for their lines. He
says that Denton, Alvarado and Cleburne
have their guarantee fixed; also that Ter
rell, kaufman, Rockwell, Gainesville, Sher
man, Decatur, Ennis, Milford, Hillsboro
and others are getting their contracts up.
1t Is expected that Waco, Corsicana, Fort
Worth and Greenville will fall into line.
The exchange in this city is growing
very fast, having now 260 telephones at
work and 1870 miles Of wire in the city, be-
sides the territorial lines. Mr.. Clover has
recently appointed Mr.. Henry Garrett, of
this city, as his assistant, thereby allowing
him self much more time to attend to the
growing territorial line business, and he
hopes soon to be able to visit some of the
towns not already supplied with guarantees,
and work them up, all he desires being as
hearty support from the towns yet to be
visited as he has had from those he has
worked so far. Altogether it may safely be
summed up that the telephone business in
and around Dallas is in most prosperous
condition, with bright anticipations for the
future.

Unparalleled AtrOcity.

The reporter heads this article in the
style and under the captain above seen for
the reason that he desires to write about
spring. Were he to crown his paragraph
with his subject, tie readers o. the HERALD
would not only pass it by in contemptuous
neglect, but proceed TO take up one OF the
foreign papers they had purchased for Sun
day reading and diligently search for the
items Of evidence in the trial OF the Irish
patriots. Under these circumstances, the
reporter prefers beguiling his readers into
the conviction that they Will read some
thing of startling nature, whilst
he really proposes 90 be didactic on
the season business. Now IL is said that
"spring is on the wing" IL is not. 1t is
on hand, and IL the army ofskeptics on this
subject will move their skirmish line to the
picket fences Of resident property. owners

shows an astute appreciation OF the situation
that nothing but solid quid OF tobacco
or the dead certainty that the rank vegeta-
ton OF August is approaching can satisfy.
For one, the reporter Is glad the season has
changed. The last season we had was not
particularly good one, and whilst be
thinks il would be better for some kind OF
season to return in 20, yet-well, be thinks
almost any other kind Of a season would be
more reasonable. As IL stands now he
