away during the thousands of years
which have come and gone since the
beginning of the Quaternary age.
The same process which is going on
today in the Bad Lands is the same
process by which the great wall was
shaped-the process of erosion.
The reader may ask "How did the
remains of land mammals come to be
deposited there if 1t was an inland
sea during the Tertiary age, the age
to which these animals belonged?"
The fossil remains of land animals
which are found in these beds are
fragments, and not entire carcasses,
and were carried there from the west
ern border land, which they inhabited
during the later Tertiary or Nam
malian age. but became extinct dur
ing the beginning of the Ice age. For
this reason their bones are not found
in the stratas last laid down, neither
are they found In the lower beds bor-

advanced. The numerous granite
bou'ders which are noay in evidence
at Pierre bear Testimony to this facp.
About this time, however, another
disturbance of large extent transpir-
ed, which raised the bottom of this
inland sea to such an elevation that
the water was thrown against the
eastern shore, cutting new channel
for the Missouri and thus starting
its present bed. At this time COM
menced the cutting and shaping of the
great wall. White river started as a
deep and narrow chasm and gradually
widening out, the lower stratas being
unprotected by rocks eroded the
easiest, and the upper strata, on
account of itsgreater darkness, would
only give way after it had lost it's
support from beneath. The entire
mass, though, is subject to easy de-
composition by air and water, and
thus it was dissolved and carried

400 feet, and according to these
authorities contain thet remains of
camels, rhinoceroses, elephants, Iiorses
and of numerous other species.
Facing White river from the north
Is what is called the wall of the Bad
Lands. This wall has height va
rying from 300 to 400 feet above the
river. This grand wall, which is only
passable i'm few places, has been a
couundrum as to its origin to the
many who have seen it, and the OBJ
ject of this article is to explain to
those who have not made geology a
study, how this wall came into exist
ence.
The Bad Lands, during the later
Tertiary age, was still the bottom of
an inland sea, and i'm my opinion this
sea extended from Pine Ridge on the
south to Fox Ridge on the north, the
Black Hills being it's western border,
and the chain of hills extending from

For some months past the free
ranging Of stock has been, so to speak,
under protest. Owners of large
herds have felt the antipathy of the
settlers, and in but few districts has
stock been allowed to range without
a herder. But the advocates of herd
law must 60 to the polls next Tues
day and vote--vote to kill the free
range. If free range should happen to
carry, which Is hardly possible, the
country will be flooded with stock.

A stretch of land commencing near
Kadoka in Stanley county, South
Dakota, and extending to the south
westward for distance of sixty miles
or more along White river on both
sides, is called Bad Lands. These So
called Bad Lands have aroused won-
der and curiosity in the mind of
everyone who has ever visited and
studied their peculiar formation.
The thickness of the different STRAIT
as have been estimated by Hayden at
1000 feet, and considered fresh wa
ter deposit of the older Miacene.
These beds are the burial grounds of
many Miacene mammals and fresh
water fossils. The remains are found
in the upper beds, which are Terti-
ary, and their thickness is estimated
by Meek and Hayden at from 300 to

While the Bad Lands give nc
promise of mineral wealth, they con-
tain many pebble like crystals, and /,
for my part, shall not be surprised if
some day stones of great value are
discovered in these otherwise worth
less deposits.
Agriculturally, this country prom
ises little without irrigation. But
with irrigation the flats and basins
could be made very productive. The
heat which is intensified by barren
hills and walls would stimulate the
growth of early vegetables, out as it
is, the natural rainfall being less then
further NORTH and east, and the eva
poration greater, conditions are ad-
verse to agriculture; but in spite OF

all this, this section is not all going
to escape from yielding up the wealth
by means of the plow. Along White
river are many fine fats, which can
be reclaimed by irrigation, and some
day we may look down from the walls
and perceive a network Of bitches
carrying water onto the land, causing
1t to give up its slumbering wealth
In many formed vegetables and
fruits.
For the time being, the Bad Lands
will continue to be a wonder to the
average person, and large and open

which he may read what transpired

Last weeks rain pnt the ground In
excellent shape for that work, and
considerable ground is being turned

plowed this fall can get their seed In
early next spring, and give the crops
the advantage Of the spring rains.
