it could possibly feed. Year after year
the grass got scantier and scantier.
Then, during the World War, came
the great demand for wheat land and
the few grassy valleys actually were
plowed and seeded. This ruined the
countryside for any possible use.
Perhaps the drought has been .
blessing in disguise to the Bad Lands
country, say the old cattlemen. The
Federal Government, exclusive Of the
park site, will make it free range once
more and make sure that it never is
overstocked. Perhaps even the bison
might come back in part of their old
range.
Beside the road at Medora Is a
bronze statue of a man on horse
back-not Roosevelt, but a French
marquis named Antoine De MoireS,
who came out into the Bad Lands
country in 1888 to hunt bison. He was
so impressed by the country that he
stayed, built a log chateau on the
hillside, brought 20 servants and elab-
crate furnishings from France, and
went into the cattle raising business
in a big way. He even built packing
plant.
Marquis Slain in Africa.
Naturally, the scheme failed The
20 servants went back to France.
Marquis De Moires followed them. He
turned to Africa for his big game
hunting and, . few years later, he was
slain there in a skirmish with the ma
tives. His sons shipped over the
statue to be set up at Medora-the
town was named after their mother.

The white man whose scalp adorns

somebody's grandfather. It is sur

One can't help but feel that the

MEDORA, N. Oak, August S.
Lifeless, fantastic, like part Of the
moons surface-for hundreds of
square miles stretch the barren North
Dakota bad lands.
Hidden in the heart of the strange
land is this memory haunted old viii
lage of Medora, with its Rough Rider
hotel, where Theodore Roosevelt used
to put up for the night when he rode
In from his cow ranch 40 miles out
among the buttes. For a quarter of
a century the country has lived on
the memory of Teddy"
Old Tom johnson was reminiscing
at the bar of the Rough Rider hotel
the other night. He was proprietor
Of the hostelry in the Roosevelt days
and remembers him well-as "a nice
young fellow who never made no fuss
over nothing so long as my wife got
clean sheets on his bed"
"YeS, sir" says Tom johnson, "he
was an awful nice man and not like
lot of them dude cattle buyers who
would come in here and kick about
their rooms and the food. Jest clean
sheets was all he wanted. And he
was a real cattleman, too-not a
fellow out here only for the fun of it."
Teddy" Paid 500 for Bison.
Roosevelt arrived in the Medora
country just too late for the bison.
One night at Tom JohnSon's hotel he

hunter, hundred dollars to find him
one of the animals. Joe FarriS obliged,
Roosevelt bagged the animal, and
then he paid the money. There were
plenty of elk here then, Tom john
son says, and lots Of gray wolves.
Roosevelt had the dooryard of his
ranch house fenced with elk horns.
He and the gray wolves left the coun-
try at about the same time-the
animals disappearing "all Of sudden
like as If they Just all got together
and decided to quit"
Those were glorious days for Tom
johnson. The Bad Lands were not
barren then. Little streams lined with
rich grass meandered through the
buttes. There were hidden valleys
in the depths of the fantastic forma-
tions where herds grazed and grew
fat. Thousands of head were shipped
out of the Northern Pacific station.
The cowmen were hard drinkers
and free spenders and most Of the
money went to Tom Johnson's hotel.
Every time thought had about

iamentary body, however, has been
weakened by communistic propa-
ganda, the premier said, and has not
carried out its designated duties.
The government explained its ac-
ton in this statement published In
the official journal:
'The country was faced with an
abnormal situation as 1t was on the
eve of the outbreak of q subversive
and seditious movement fostered by
Communist propaganda which has as
its aims disaffection of the army and
spreading of the spirit of anarchy.
Communism taking an advance
over anarchy, squabbles among politi-
cal parties and, by no means the
least, an unbridled press, the cam
paign was preparing for the over
throw of the social regime, breaking
up Greek society. of which the first
step was to have been the present
strike.
"In the face Of such q situation
the government took the steps con-
sidered necessary and for which 1t
sought royal approval"
Order Reported Prevailing.
Complete order was reported
throughout the country and Athens
awoke to strike which was hardly
noticeable. Busses and other trans
port services operated normally. There
were no large gatherings in the
streets.
Small groups stood around the
notices proclaiming martial law.
Newspapers did not publish.
The labor groups set midnight as
the start Of the general strike to sup
port their protest against obligatory
arbitration of workers demands.
A recent law, approved by the gov
ernment, fixed minimum wage scales
for workers and provided their claims
under the new rates should be arbi-
trated by oficial agencies.
Opposition to the strike was de-
clared In a statement issued by the
Federation Of Conservative Workers.

Splitting Up OF Land Blamed.
The great change came, according
to Tom johnson, Two-Gun Slim and
the rest Of the old cattlemen around
Medora, when the free range was split
up into sections and fenced OF. Some
of it even was planted to wheat. The
only possible economical use of the
land, they say, Is to leave it as free
range with a strictly limited number
of cattle.
Probably no other part of the
country has been SO hard hit by the
present drought as the Bad Lands,
which stretch across the Canadian
border. Most of the settlers already
have come out Of the, depths of the
buttes, where the fires of buried coal
mines ignited by lightning burn per-
petually, and sought homes elsewhere.
AS a result the countryside faces a
new day in its history. Nearly half
a million acres of the land has been
purchased and Is being fenced of by
the ReSettlement Administration. This
is the so-oalled Little Missouri project,
one Of the largest, in extent, In the
United States. All the residents are
to be moved out and, once the grass
has been restored as near as possible
to its condition in Theodore Roose-
velt's day, the land is to be leased
for sheep and cattle grazing.
Side by side with this work Is the
creation of great regional park, to
be named in honor of the country's
most distinguished former President.
This park comprises approximately 80
square miles in two sections-land
which contains some of the finest
scenery in the United States, but
which probably Is entirely worthless
for any agricultural purpose. Two

panies are busy building roads

Barren Countryside.
Today the countryside seems COM
pletely barren. Only rare patches of
sage grass relieve the gray monotony
of the buttes. One wonders that hui
man beings ever thought they could
subsist there. The settlement, say the
old-timers In the region, was a result
Of the great land hunger which seemed
to aff1ict so many from the East about
the turn of the century. The home
SteaderS, buried from civilization in
the shadowy depths of the haunted
land, underwent unspeakable hard
ships in their crude dugouts through
the rainless Summers and the bitterly
cold Winters. Then, eager to repay
themselves and get out as soon as
possible, they proceeded to stock the
countryside with far more cattle than
