DR.. C. R. Wieland, Of Yale museum
has just returned from a five months
geological expedition in Dakota and
Montana. He secured much new rep
lillian and plant material of scientific
| interest. He spent three weeks in the
Yellowstone park, now visited by so
many tourists, and thinks it the most
| eautiful region on the globe, and of all
the sights there to be seen the great
| fossil forests are among the most
spectacular, DR.. Wieland thinks an
other region, which would be Of great
| interest to everyone, is the Dakota bad
lands. East of the Black Hills and be-
tween White and Cheyenne rivers have
seldom been visited by sight-seers, but
are readily reached from Hermosa sta
| ton and the Fremont, Elkhorn and
! Missouri River railway.
