bodies. Before closing this brief article
upon the larger Ozarks, let me describe
a scene in the western part of fancy
county, of such character, scope and
beauty as to command the rapt atten-
ton of any lover of nature who may
fortunately see it. At distance of
some five miles northwest of Forsythe,
the winding road climbs by easy ap-
proaches far up the south slope OF a
mountain. We pause. Below us is the
abyss. Above us the mountain rises
some 200 feet. Many miles to the south
west Boatman's mountain is dimly seen
upon the horizon. We look southwark
into Arkansas to point where hill
Joins hill and other hills hide the val
legs until we think 1t all one level
plain. Yet between US and these points
which limit our vision we look across a
sea of hills, and we know that deep
valleys are there. We trace out the
dimly defined valley of White river and
mark the course of erosion. One hun
bred and eighteen miles of White, riv-
er's channel is in view. We could not
forget the scene if we would. It's
grandeur is overmastering, and we
realize that we are looking upon a vel
ley which once was a basin into which
the Ozarks poured their lavish treas
ures before White river ate its way
through the divide and drained that
valley into the CULTS. D. Chamber

THE ANCIENT oZARKs.
The Himalayas Are Newcomes Com
nared With Them.

The Himalayas Are Newcomes Com
pared With Them.
Men speak In wondering words of the
beauty of Jura, of the grandeur of
Everest, of the awe inspiring canyons
Of the west, Of the Andes and the Alps;
but no man has ever looked upon
scene more incitive to thought and
profound meditative imagination than
the rugged hills of the lower Ozarks.
He who climbs the Jura stands upon
peak of the modern world, but the man
who stands upon the highlands of
Ozark county looks upon land so old
that the brain becomes weary 10 at
tempting to measure its ages, though
measurement be made in epOchs-not
in thousands Of years. The Himalaya
mountains have, during some thou
sands or millions of years, poured their
deposits into that body of water which
We know as China Sea, and by filling
the basin of that sea have deposited so
much alluvium that the empire of
China, with its untold population, now
occupies the space over which the wa
ter once flowed unrestrained. Look to
your maps and note how large the low
lands Of China are; conjecture the
depth of the alluvium deposit in those
lowlands and then comprehend, if you
can, the ages during which the Hima-
laya mountains have been busy filling
up the basin of the sea, and by wash of
the tides and overflow Of the rivers,
building the land of China as We know
it to-day The brain wearies Of the eff
| fort. We are incapable of compre-
hending such almost infinite time; and
vet we do know that the mount aims of
Asia are the youngest mountain
ranges on earth, and that the low
| lands Of China belong to the last
days.
We may grasp a suggestion of facts
by comparison, sometimes. If the Him
alayas are the youngest. the OZarks
are the oldest of the mountain ranges,
and between the dates which gave them
birth, the Rocky Mountains, the 9p-
palachians, the Apennines, the Alps,
the Andes, the Nevadas, the Circas-
slams, the Caucasus. the great noun
tain ranges Of Australia and Africa
had birth. Yet these were not reared
suddenly by some continent creating
explosion, but slowly, surely, tenderly,
as 1t becomes mother earth to develop
her giant children.
Thus, by analysis, we arrive at the
age of the Ozarks, yet fail to compre-
bend; for we cannot measure their an
cient height; nor picture the stormy
world We can dimly imagine revOlV-
ing, enveloped In clouds. the rain in
ceaseless torrents descending, and the
wide ocean rolling free and unbroken,
save where the Ozarks breased the
waves and turned the tide back upon
itself
The lover of nature finds food for
these reflections when he visits the re-
gion south of Springfield, Mo. During
the recent campaign 1t was my privi-
lege for the third time to answer a
party call to go into that most pic
turesdue and to me delightful portion
of this state, Springfield is located
upon a very high table land. Much of
the country surrounding it is level as
an ideal sea floor, Yet the city lies at

to the east Of Springfield, is now the
highest place in the state. There are
some lead mines in that section, and
thereby We may know that the wash
from higher levels once flowed into that
onetime valley, for none of the lead
there is of plutonic origin, but is all
RECOMMENDATION of other deposits, 1t
follows from this consideration that
the tableland of Greene county was
once washed by the terranean sea on
the west and by the ocean on the east,
while to the north the Ozarks reared
their mass very far above their pres
ent heights. Natural changes are very
strange. The valley has become the
high lands and the mountains of old
are now simply big hills divided by
creeks and rivers, which have eaten
their way deep down into the primary
rocks: and the soil and the great piles

MANY BEARS IN MAINE.
Regret That the President Didn't Go
There to Shoot Them.

Inere TO SnOOt Inen.
Bangor, Me-, December 10
Maine people are wondering why, if
President Roosevelt wanted to kill
few bears, he didn't come to this state,
instead of going down south, and the
conclusion has been unanimously
reached that Mississippi must be a
poor hunting ground when $50 good a
sportsman as the president Is known to
be could not get even a shot. When
the president was in Bargor last sum-
mer and met his old guide, "Bill" Sew
all, Of Island Falls, it was understood
that he would come back in the fall
and spend a week or two hunting big
game in the northern woods, and that
he did not come is much regretted by
every one, for this is the greatest game
season in all Names history.
So many deer have been killed in the
region north of Bangor, and brought to
this city on the woy west, that the lists
fill columns of the local papers, which
daily record the names of returning
hunters, the quantity and kind Of game
killed by EACH the locality where killed
and the residence of the hunter. In the
month Of October 1,461 deer were
brought through Bangor, and the No
vember list will be much longer, the
receipts having been as high as one
hundred and ninety-seven in a single
day, often one hundred to one hundred
and twenty-five, and seldom below sew
enty-five.o In fact, the deer story is
getting to be a little monotonous, and
the more experienced hunters pay little
attention to that sort of game, bending
their energies toward getting a moose.
There is no doubt that the moose are
increasing in numbers, for while in the

the change. But as we turn southwark
into Douglas county, we again face the
evidence Of times titanic energy, in
which little waterfalls are singing mer-
ry music to the wastes and SolicitudeS;
we watch wild birds, unsecured, which
lazily float in the air; We look on either
side Of us and see great lodges Of rock
in the bluffs, strait for strata on
either side and at equal height. Then
we know that we are living in the
presence of the ages; time has plainly
written its lessons there that we may
learn. We pass from ragged Douglass
into more ragged Ozark county.
There is a range of hills in the west
ern part of Ozark county which proba-
bly, marks the highest original plane in
the old mountains in that section.
These bills rise to an elevation of about
900 feet above the lowest lands in that
district. They are almost bare of veg
citation, and are rapidly wearing away.
1t is reported to me upon good author
ity that sea shells had been found upon
these hills. I believe the statement to
be true although did not myself climb

connected the Ozarks of Arkansas and
Missouri. The land in fancy county
was largely formed as an alluvial de-
post This fact is established by the
character of the soil upon the high,
level lands in the neighborhood of
Brown Branch and Bradleyville, and Is
further supported by the deposit of
considerable quantities of iron ore and

Congress, writes of his impressions Of

the south. He says:
THE meeting of the Farmers Ma
tional Congress in Macon, Ga, this
year, with excursions to Savannah and
st. Augustine, incidental opportunities
of using ones eyes and ears in Vir-
ginia and the Carolinas and the privi-
lege of conversing with large number
of farmers from every part of Dixie,
can hardly have failed to greatly in
tensify in the mind of any New York
delegate who does not visit that region
often, whatever conception he may
have previously held of the awakening
of the new south. In the case of the
writer the fresh knowledge acquired
has crystallized into positive conviction
half-formed belief long entertained
that the go Vest idea is thoroughly
out of date so far as farmers are con-
cerned, not only because, for the most
part, they are better off where they are,
but also because, If they are deter
mined to migrate somewhere, the south
offers now on the whole and for most
people far better opportunities and
more attractions than gives any por-
ton of the great west.
"Our nations in the northeastern
states, like our railroads, have run al
together too much east and west. We
should be wiser to turn them to north
and south and to regard the Mississip-5
pi river, rather than the Ohio and the
Missouri, as the natural dividing line,
especially as all the business interests
of the southern states lie with the west,
and are easily susceptible, under any
sort of even halfway reciprocity, Of
enormous development, to the benefit of
all parties concerned. ,..-.&. ri

ture, the recent progress and new vi
