Mr.. EDIroR:-Farmers here arc

very little wheat has been sown

County, the best Co. in Dakota. We
have a railroad north and south of
US, plenty of timber, and an album
dance of good pure water, and good
prospects of seeing the iron-horse
putting through the center of our
tnwnship. OF course Sphinx will
promise the county seat and give a
townsite to any company that will
build a depot in the township. BY
the way let me say that we are i'm
proveing our farms here by building
good houses, and barns and plan

up a little something should be done
to wards fixing it up. The best
and most effectual and permanent

up, and put abont six inches Of
good coarse gravel over it. This Of

are inclined to think it would be

Exploration in Australia,

An exploring party, under the lead
ership of MIR. Charles Winnecke, an
experienced explorer and bushman,
has just made successful journey
through q large portion of unknown
country in the interior of Australia
The party was provided with camels
and horses, but the latter were never
required. Mr.. Winnicke made start
from Cawarrie station, on the Warbur-
ton river. in latitude % degrees, and
traversed the country to the north as
far as latitude 27 degrees. effecting o
near Goyder's pillars. A most re-
markable natural feature in the Tail
ton range was discovered by Mr.. Win
nicke during his Herbert river explora-
tions. Several long stages without
water were encountered a few days Of
ter the party left Cawarrie station, and
distance OF 100 to 800 miles had to be
traversed across the highest sand ridg-
es in Australia before water couldbe OBJ
tanned. The camels behaved nobly, al
though carrying immense loads weigh
ing between TOO and 800 pounds each.
The party had recovered sufficiently in
two days to make the second stage of
about $50 miles without water. Many
