Sod Walls.

The lack trees in most sections of Dakota
deprives the settler from the log buildings so
wooded country. The only substitute yet in com
here is tlis '.sod house." and this il at
best rarely properly constructed, and generally
its construction.
1t is almost always the case that a sod wall is
built of a uniform thickness from the ground to
except the natural surface Of the ground, which
often is not leveed for the purpose 1t is
obvious that wall of this kind is more lasting If
built stone foundation or started in q shallow
trench of just the width Of the proposed wall.
II not in some way made firm at the base be-
yond the possibility of slipping the weight of the
'thrust,' and the wall, il of uniform thickness,
begins to bend out in the center, and will event
uaiiy slip at its weakest point and crumble away
or fall altogether Such wall should be twice as
thick mt the b.se ut the caves and the greater
this proportion the more substantial and lasting
the structure; indeed, barn, the sides of which
swnrd which will, with little repair, keep its
grassy walls intact for generation, especially if
lawn-grass is scwn thickiy upon it ut the proper
season.
The sod chosen for this purpose should be taken
from rich, cayey soil, where the grass is heavy
and the roots thick and matted, and by no means
ofwindows and doors should at least be of thick
plank, and, if very large, Of dimension lumber,
AS the pressure OF the sods Is never lcssened, as
in the case of masonry or brick.
The top Of the wall should be cased, or at least
covered with boards, before the roofis placed upon
It, The caves should project below the wall
rain from softenng the upper layers, and the
base should never, under any circumstances, be
surrounded by standing water.
With due attention to these rules the sod house
may be made very comfortable, healthful and
serviceable reaidence, and the sod barn an equally
desirable stable It is but rarely, however, that
but few sod shelters last over three

The Future of the Missouri slope.
1t is the rapid settlement of Emmons
Mcintosh and Logan counties that assures
the extension of railroads to Bismarck
Even when Mr.. Cable, of the Rock Island,
visited Bismarck this spring he was still
OF the opinion that much of the country
lying southeast of Bismarck was region
of sand and gravel knoIls, practically
worthless The business of the country
north and west of Bismarck was properly
estimated, but no consideration was given
to the country lying southeast except to
condemn it. The truth is, there is no better
country than is found in the counties
referred to, and proof Of its excellence is in
the fact that over four hundred families
have settled in Emm0ns county this year,
and very many in Mcintosh county,
while Logan is receiving considerable at-
tcntlon. Two years ago there were not to
exceed fifty people in Emmons county.
The late census gives the county over
eleven hundred. The first settlements in
Mcintosh and Logan counties were made
last year In the country southeast Of
Bismarck--the country through which
the proposed new lines of railroads to
Bismarck will pass--ffty thousand people
viii settle within the next few years, and
after that the rush of immigration will be
to the country northwest Of Bismarck.
Northern Pacific influences have not been
effective in settling up the country. The
management is doing and has done all
that can be dome in that direction, but
their line does not reach down into the
countries from which immigration comes.
1t is to the Milwaukee, Northwestern. and
to the Rock Island, that this country
will be indebted for the bulk of its popula-
ton and to the development of the coun.
try, brought about through the influx of
population, the Northern Pacific will be
indebted for better business than it now
enjoys-that will increase in value
from year to year. Bismarck, with its
surrounding country developed, will
become city of twenty thousand people
within q few years. From the Lakes to
the Gulf there is no point better situated.
Its location attracts attention and inspires
confidence. The soil only needs to he
seen to be appreciated. Its products of
grain and grasses prove its superiority.
The health and vigor of the people speak
volumes IN favor of the climate.
Make this country accessible from the
southeast and it will be occupied. If the
railroad people knew Of its advantages it
would soon be made accessible This
years census reports will have tendency
to open their cyes.-[ Bismarck Journal.

A Good Showing.

We note with pleasure the extensive
area that is being broken this season,
even in the older communities. Whole
sections hitherto held only for specula-
ton are being subdued by the pillow, and
will add largely to the wheat acreage of
another year. This mauifcsts conf
dence in the country which is only the
outgrowth of natural causes, however.
There has not been total crop failure in
the history of the country, there being an
average acreage of ten bushels in 1881,
the worst season that Burleigh county
has ever known. There has not been
destructive cyclone in the history of set
tlement. Hail-storms have been no more
frequent here than in other farming
localities, if as much so. The hard times
have been felt as little here as anywhere
else. The facilities for money making
are perhaps greater here than any where
else Having direct communication with
Minneapolis and the East. our products
bear better price here than correspond
ing grades bring in localities further
south or even east of south, while the
cost of producing here is ct q minimum.
Ii is no wonder that confidence in the
country grows stronger each year = Bur

A New Phase of the Land Law.

A Woonsocket correspondent of the
Sioux City Journal has found new
phase of the land laws which is liable to
make new complications, and refers to it
as follows: "A fact which IS being over
looked by many Of our land attorneys is
land claimants of foreign birth who have
only taken out their first naturalization
papers. This is matter which demands
attention, as the neglect of strict com
pliance with the law in this particular may
cause some knotty complications regard
ing titles in the future. Foreign settlers
desiring to c0nsummate title to their land
will do well to avail themselves of the
coming term Of court and secure the second
papers, and thus avoid all possibility of
error in the full compliance with the land
Office laws"

entire load struck him under the left jaw,

taking off his nose, right upper jaw, right
eye and portion of the forehead. After
the accident, he walked some distance to
the house of ne'ghbor, where he was
cared for, and medical aid summoned. At
last accounts he was doing as we'll as could
be expected, but it is barely possible that
he will survive We are informed that the
unfortunate young mans parents reside at
