Six tubular wells put down some miles

Golden Valley is a vast plain lying
between the high range Of buttes Dor
sdering on the west side the bad
lands along the Little Missouri river
and the range Of high lands east Of
the breaks of the Yellowstone known
locally as the blue Mountains and
consists Of an area about eighty miles
north and south and twenty-five to
thirty miles east and west, and while
it may not in the strictest sense Of
the word be a valley proper it has all
the appearances of valley and the
quality Of soil and higher land on eth
#er side makes the appellation descrip-
lively correct
That all the land in this part of the
country was at one time the bottom of
shallow sea can not be doubted and
also that the country called the Col
den Valley was at one time oyerlaid
with several hundred feet Of the clayey
deposits of this same sea is equally
evident. Nature in her works Of ero-
sin has carried away vast amounts OF
these deposits and placed them some
where else down stream After this
period of erosion nature again took up
the work Of making soil and here ag-
ain is TO be found some Of her most
perfect handiwork, the soils being
of the richest possible nature.

records for the few years past there
can be no doubt that there is sufficient

" does theory bear out this conclu-
sion but facts for the three years past
in which actual agricultural expert

that this section has no superior in the
entire northwest. The crops from this
section took the premium in the con-
tests at the state fair last year and
from the experience of the entire time
since farming was commenced in this
section the same results may be looked
for again and probably nearly every
year.
Also another factor that must not
be lost sight Of is the quality Of the
grain grown in this section. In the
markets Of the world there is no
grain that grades higher and even
the soft wheat varieties grown far.

The geological conditions are such
that water is found easily in all parts
of the territory and while there are
not many springs breaking out on the
level land yet in the breaks and coul-
les there are many springs while at
any place on the prairies where wells
have been dug water has always been
found in abundance. The water is
pure and generally soft. The layers
of sand are well filled with water
and found at a slight depth and the
coal veins are usually water bearing
channels for flow Of pure, clear
water. In the wells of this territory
some surprises are found in the guam
tity and quality of the water obtained

dozen wells put down in the town of

vital with millions OF fresh lives-and
inevitably develops. For a century
we have been straining to draw riches
from mines and prairies and forests

turn to ideals: first to The rugged
old social ideals of justice, equality,
freedom for all; and then to esthetic
ideals Of the Beauty that upliftS and
forever endures. AID as the people
