Future use OF The High plains

How to make use of the high-lying
plains which border the Rocky Mountains
on the east, and extend from Texas ncrth
through western Kansas, Nebraska and
Montana, is problem many have tried
to solve. No other unoccupied tract in
the United States is so attractive to the
settler; the land is fiat and easily worked,
and the soil of great fertility. But hard
ly any tract has proved so delusive and
disastrous to those who have settled upon
it. a few years of humidity followed by
many more of drought made successful
farming impossible, and drove off all but
the most stubborn settlers. Experience
has shown that without some means of
supplemcnting the water supply the High
Plains cannot be utilized for farming, but
must remain a grazing country.

States Geological Survey. realizing the

we are having inst now ever remind the
old comrades OF the Third Brigade, First
Division, Seventeenth Corps of our bitter
experience while near Savannah on our
march to the sea that early December
morning when the 0gecchee Canal was
nearly frozen over. We waded it i'll line
of battle, almost to our armpits, in hot
pursuit OF the fleeing enemy. when every
step we took in that icy-cold water felt
as if we were being cut in twain by an
iccle.
Yes, and do you remember our never
to-be-forgotfen experience of the afternoon
and evening of the same day in the bogs
and jungles of the swamp, just in front
of the canal, where we held our line of
battle the succeeding night. with enemy
close by shelling us furiously, thus pre-

The National tribune., 1902-01-02

On the afternoon Of the 10th we found
that a battle was raging at the front. The
march WAS haStencd, and soon we en-
cOuntered Il number of the retrcating sol
diers of Loring'S Division. Nearly all Of
them were without arms, and surrendered
without resistance We had no difficulty
in determining the location of the arm" and
took Il road leading direct to Champion S
Hill We arrived after the battle was
over. Gen. Dana was sent TO Gen. Grant
and delivered to him Gen. Haileck's let
ter directing him to turn his army south
and cooperate with Gen. Banks.
Gen. Grant Informed Gen. Dana that
the order came too late; that in the pres
ent condition Gen. Halleck would not give
such an order, and that the best way for
him to aid Gen. Banks was to destroy the
Confederate army then fleeing from his
front.
/ soon found Col. Holmes and the brl-
gade to which belonged. They were in
splendid spirits: they had taken n leading
part in the battles Of Jackson and
Champions Hill, and although their loss
had been heavy. the brigade was ready for
any emergency. Their haversacks were
empty, as We're their wagons. but my rcgi-
mental train was full of rations, and we
at once divided with our heroic comrades.
The battle of Champions Hill taxed the
resources of the Medical Department.
Our own wounded and hundreds Of Con
federatn wounded required immediate
care. 4 few were placed in houses and
outbuidings. but the great majority We're
cared for for the night undcr the trees.
Fortunately. there was plenty Of baled
cotton at hand; this was used to make
beds. | visited many of the wounded and
rendered every possible assistance TO
make them comfortable furnishing sup
plies from my wagons. Ii was Il rare in
stance to hear 4 @roan or a sigh from the
suffering men. They had fought for n
grand cause: they had participated in n
great and victorious campaign: the mental
cIation incident TO valor and victory was
still upon them. and they exhibited forti-
tude wonderful to behold.
Until far into the night the whole army
was astir. In these last days it had been
the business of staff officers and Quarter
masters left at the river to bring every
thing forward which had been left behind.
Immense wagon trains had been escorted
by Blair and Ransom all headquarters

put everything in its proper place.
