Via Prairie Schooner

The following is a portion of q
letter to the Osceola Sun, written by
George A. Taylor of this city, who is
travelling to the coast looking over
real estate propositions:
Cpur d Alene Indian Reservation
Idaho, June 26, 1910.-Editors of the
Osceola Sun: Gentlemen-Thinki
it might be of interest to you and
the readers of The Sun to hear from
Donaldson and myself in our travels
across the coutry, will write you of
some of the sights we see by the
way. Travelling the way we are, by
team, we see and hear great deal
more of the country than going by
train or even an automobile. After
getting out of the city of ST. Paul,
we followed the direction of the
Northwestern railroad. There is
no good farming land to speak of
for fifteen or twenty miles, but from
Norwood to Glencoe there are some
of the finest farms and best farmers
| have yet seen, (and, strange to
say, they are mostly all Germans,
already YETI. From Glencoe to
Granite Falls is all fairly good farm
country, but poor water-alkali,
and in places very scarce. From
Granite Falls we cut across the
country to the Jim River Valley.
This valley is the finest prairie,
as whole, / have yet seen. Nearly
every farmer has an artesian well
with flowing water all the year
round. What ten years ago were
dry runs are now nice little streams
stocked with fish; also the state is
ditching marsh land and redeeming
thousands of acres for cultivation.
Getting out of this artesian basin,
we went to the Missouri river. |
wouldn't call the land around there
any good for anything but pasture,
and hardly good for that on account
of water. Settlers are far apart
and don't look very prosperous.
The last two days we drove getting
to Mobridge the hot winds were
blowing a hurricane and the grass
and grain seemed to be entirely dead.
Had hard time getting water for
the horses. Were told at Mob ridge
that it was still worse on the west
side, so we loaded our outfit onto
the cars for Pummer, Idaho.

Secretary OF War Dickinson in an
address To the graduating class at
West Point yesterday said: no man
is so great or SO good in a republic
that he can be permitted to govern
outside Of the law and the oonstitu-
tion. No public good. however attrac.
tive. is worth gaining at the price of
setting aside a fundamental principle
of government. This is substituting
a government Of men for a government
Of law. and this is the beginning OF the
end Of the republic"
