west of the Missouri river. Here you
enter the beautiful Bear Greek valley
with its gently slopiRg hills to the
north and south and extending over
nearly 1900 square miles. The soil
here is unlike that OF any other part
OF the reservation, 1t resembling the

Lyman county, but coAtAining small

which tends to greatly lessen the la

leys are abundantly covered with ma
tive grasses and there is considerable
timber along the streams. Although
this season has been unusually dry
Bear Creek-which passes through the
entire district-has furnished an AM
pie water supply for the immense
herds OF cattle which roam over the
great ranges. In this district may
be found the finest water for domestic
purposes at from Is to 80 feet below
the surface and it is as clear as crys-
tal The productiveness OF the soil for
all kinds OF grain and vegetables has
already been ammply demonstrated
and no one questions its adapta5ility
for alfalfa and other tame grasses
This land was appraised by the gov
ernment appraisers at $500 Per acre,
and | believe land values will advance
faster in this locality than In any
other locality on the reservation, and
Bear Creek valley will in time be
dotted with many beautiful farms and
happy homes. The town OF Dupree is
in it's midst. and is well located with
good drainage and ample supply OF
fine water. Notwithstanding the diff
ficult freight'ng from Isabel, the pres
ent depot of supply, there are being
erected many substantial bushes
houses and cottages and in time it
will be city of homes in the center
of a prosperous agricultural commun-
ity.
Some 30 miles west Of Dupree at the
northeast corner of Meade county Is
the town Of Faith which will no dolht
be the terminus of the Fox Ridge
branch OF the Puget sound road for
some time to come. There is some
good farming country around Faith

to cultivate. What, pa tieularly ap-
peals to me, is its accessibility to a
very large territory south from the
Moreau river almost to the Chevenn-
and Belle Fourche rivers, p act1cally
embracing all that we'll settled and
prosperous section in the northern
part of Meade couE.y. When the rail
road is completed to this place 1t will
be the nearest railway Shipping and
freighting point to 1t. To my mind
the success of the town, however, will
largely depend on the unanimity and
liheralitv of its citizens toward those
with whom they have dealings. This
IS particularly true of the territory

East. and where a little strenuous

Isabel, the latter being the present
terminus of the Moreau Divide line.
Timber Lake, the first town west OF
Cheyenne Junction lies on the shores
of lake of that name. this body OF
water covering several thousand acres
and lying along the crest of the d.
vide. Why this lake should bear that
name I cannot divine. There are not
more than a dozen scrub cottonwoods
and ash trees around the entire shore
line. Owing to the length and depth
OF it's waters there is splendid op-
portunity for boating and would not
be surprised to see it the scene OF an
nual boat races before many years.
There Is some very good ia ming and
while much of it is Indian allotment
there is ample opportunity for pur-
chasing in the usual form from the
Indians. The soil is a sandy loam and
I believe will be particularly adapted
to small grains, vegetables and alfalfa,
and may in the course Of time give a
fair yield OF some varieties OF corn.
The town itself is building up very

the country is not sufficiently settled
to warrant so many investments. 10
the north and south there is an i'm
mense cattle range, and 1t will, no
doubt develop into a fine shipping
point.
The town of Isabel lies on the crest
of the Great Divide between the
Moreau and Grand rivers and over
looks 4 vast stretch OF country many
miles in extant. At the present time
IL is the great stock shipping point
for this region and many car loads
leave it's stock yards every week. This
place has three banks, eight lumber
yards and many other business enter
prises. Most of the building now be-
ing done is for business purposes,
there being but few residences un-
der construction. At present the rail
way and mail service is very irregu-
lar but 1t Is expected that a post
Office will soon be established there
and a railway mail service put on.
The soil around Isabel Is such that
might be expected in this high alti-
tude and Is much similar to that
around Timber Lake. Under the loan
lies clay subsoil and under this. a
sort of "hard-pan' which is much un
like the generally rejected hardran.
because when this is dug up and el-
posed to the air and moisture it be
comes as mellow as the loan. This
leads one to the belief that cultiva-
ton will, in great measure, reduc
the so-called "hard-pan" to a PRO-
ductive soil for small grains and vege-
tables. Taking things all in all
am inclined to think that Isabel by
reason OF the easy access to the sur
rounding country will be the princip u
distributing point between the Moreau
and the Grand rivers.

RATIONAL PROGRESS.

President Taft's order extending the civil service rules to include all assist ant postmasters supplements an earlier extension, made on April 1, last, ap- plying to assistant postmasters in first arfd second class postoffices. The num- Der of employees affected by the first order was about twenty-one thousand. The second order will bring eight thou sand more under the protection of the merit system. The growing popularity of that system is demonstrated by the steady enlargement of the scope of the principle of appointment for qualifica- tion and tenure on good behavior.
 On December l, 1908, President Roosevelt opened up a new field for the merit system when he put under civil service rules the fourth class postmaster in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan. They num- bered at that time 15,4SS. It was some thing of an experiment to break with the old notion that in a small com- munity no technical standards of quail fication were necessary for discharg- ing the duties of postmaster and that candidates for those offices would not submit to the inconvenience of com petitive test. But so far the postoffice department has encountered little diff ffculty in applying the new system, and most of the communities affected have cordially approved the change. In time the fourth class postmasters in the rest of the country will be put in the protected class. They number now about forty thousand.
 First, second and third class post masters are nominated for specified terms by the president and must be confirmed by the senate. They are on the exempted list. But President Taft intends to recommend a change in the law which will extend the merit sys- tenn to all but first class postmaster ships Such a circumscription of the postal patronage is highly desirable. If the postoffice department is to be man. aged with proper efficiency and econo- my, the small political postmaster will have to be eliminated. Permancy of tenure and an intelligent interest in the work of the postal service would transform many second and third class postoffices, ard representatives in con- gress would be freed from the annoy ing responsibility of distributing those offices as rewards for partisan activity. It is the earnest purpose of the pres ent administration to modernize the postal system and make it pay its way. An important step in that direction would be the withdrawal of all second and third class postmasterships from the category of political spells. The more the government service is opened to merit and kept out of politics the better it will do it's every day duty to the public, in whose interest it is maintained.-New York Tribune.

bad roads to the farmers of America
 involves a tremendous drain on thelr
 profits. an amount that would easily
 pay the cost of good roads.
 Here is proof of it: In every com
 mrnitv where there are rock roads
 the net profits to the farmers on
 their products exceeds that or the
 farmers in communities dependent
 upon mud roads. The value or farm lands along rock roads is far in eX-
 cess of the value of the same quai-
 ity of land along dirt roads. And Tn
 no community in the country, any
 where, that has modern roads, would the land owners consent to take the money the roads cost them and re-
 turn to the mud roads again.
 The proof of the pudding is in the eating The value of rock roads does
 not depend upon estimates or specu- Iation of any kind. Their value has been demonstrated by actual eXperi- ence. They not only pay for them selves in net returns for their use, but as a permanent investment they nav dividends to the land owners and to communities, in the increase they bring to farm valuations.
 It is not so much the question as to what bad roads cost the nation as if is the directe question as to what tbev cost the individual farmers in any single community of the nation And every test or comparison be- tween bad roads and good roads shows that there is not farmer ln any section of the United States but is paying more for bad roads than he can afford to pay.-Kansas City Star
