Olsen, of Medora, in ‘the (North Dakota Good Roads Magasine. Almost every nation and & large number of our states can boast of wonderful mountains, and every one of them:can show you beautiful spots that. would’ piease and delight any lover of nature, ‘but ‘North Dakota, along the-Little Missouri river, right- ly takes pride in the-only real Bad Lands on this earth. Features of Bad Lands The name given to this region Rot to indicate the worthlessness of the soil, but as being descriptive of its topography. There is:no c.untry that is exactly comparable to‘the Bad Lands. In all things our only stand- ard of Vdtte-is-comparison. Th® only comparison ever advanced for the Bad Lands, by travelers who knew, is to the \Grand, Canyon of the Colorado, and that only in a general sense, as they are viewed from the top of one of the higher buttes frem which one can see on-all sides, miles and miles of a conglomoration of small: moun- tain ranges, and beautiful little val- leys, barren multi-colored clay buttes, grassy, thinly: wooded ‘creek bottoms, scoria topped butted) ahd- wooded river bottoms; ‘grassy nite ‘And gage ‘brush flats, rugged. rocky biittes, canyons, shouts, and small plateaus as smooth as.a table top and as green as grass can make them, and every- where, in every direction, in large patches and small ones, there if the dark. green of our wonderful red ce- rs;;,And' sometimes, ‘‘when the Sun- set does his best, painting everlast- ing glory .on. the mountains of the west,” it {s hard to tell where fan- tasticly:colored hilis leave off and the sky begins. The wonderful sunsets of the gegion are rivaled only by the gor- geougness of the sunrises. J Don't Agree Scientists rarely agrée in regard to the history and ‘formation of the Bad Lands. ‘Many theories gre euggested. Some claim this to be the oldest part of the earth’s surface. Others, that at one time this countfy was an ox- tensive low level valley, subject at dif- ferent periods of ages, to a countless number of inundations. . Sometime between these flood periods there*was interval enough for a seemingly tropi- cal vegetation to spring up in such abundance as to form, when the next flood covered. the valley with its de- posit of soil carried down from tite surrounding higher lands, veins of coal as much as ©0 feet thick. Other shorter, or.less productive periods are } evidenced by the lesser veins of coal; { some only a few inches in depth. The difference in the magnitude of these inundations is easily detected by the different depths of soil deposited, and that they did not originate in the same district is clearly indicated by the dif- ferent colors‘and compositions of the soils’ carried d--". ‘1 the more re- cent ages since i.:> | ;ography of the North, American continent has chang- ed sufficiently to discontinue the Flood Period, the water-shed has directed a portion of the drain over this part of North Dekota forming the Little Mis- court river and its tributary creeks. In the earlier part of this period as im- mense river covering this entire part of western ‘North and South; Dakota ‘and eastern Montana washed away all the surface of the wiley to. depth of 300 or 400. feat; ay, the teepee buttes, the Cave Hills, Table Mountain and others in northwestern South Da- kota; the Twin Buttes, Talbout Butte, Sentinel-Butte, etc., in western North Dakota. The top of these buttes are virt@ally on a level, The balance of the country comprises the rolling plaiss of,.the West Kiver country. ‘Ruthless Process . Then'the Little auton ae and its tribu- taries ruthless process of cut- ting ey ‘is tower ‘surface. The top of the butte in the Bad Lands are ona level with the surrounding plains.

And the cut banks of the river and on the bald sided buttes the num- erable strata of differgnt soils of every | conceivadle- color appear as far as the eye catr'see at exactly the same position and level. And viewed after a storm when the buttes are “as the wind behind ‘the rain” the brilliant! hues present an aspect of exquisite; deauty. : Habitat of Buffalo ‘Mr, Olsen, in his article, tells how this wild land was the natural habitat; of the buffalo, elk, deer and other wild animals. The coming of stock- men drove out these animals, but in some regions of the Bad Lands a score of species of wild animals are found. Urging the claims of this country to the attention of ihe tour- ist, he concludes: To us ‘it seems almost lamentable that a country so picturesque and in-| 9 teresting should é so little known, when it ought to be the playground for thousands: and thousands of city- weary. people each year. To our knowledge there is only one summer resort in the entire Bad Lands, only one place’ where tourists may g0 at any time.and feel welcome or where ,one ‘may: spend his entire vacation, roaming the hills at his leisure on one of the suse-footed saddle horses of the country.

Our stock is handled the same as in the old days. It is much easier to handle our half wild cattle on saddle horses, in the open, than to work them in a corral or stock- yards. Our unbroken horses are just pert as they ever were, country ever produced better, riders than we have in the Bad Lands today.

Man, Rises From Loweet to Highest Rank. From the lowest rank in the military @ervice to the highest grade conferred is the record jump made by ©. L. Dawson of Beach, N. D., re- cently appointed national field rep- resentative of the American Legion. From buck pri- vate to depart- ment commander. of the American ‘ Legion in North Daketa tells the story of Mr. Daw- wise. Although well past mid- dle age, he enlisted as a private in the Balloon corps soon after war was declared. After fifteen months at Fort Omaha, he was discharged with the rank of private first class. He was chief clerk of the North Dakota legis- lature during its last session, As department commander and national executive committeeman, Mr. Dawson was largely responsible in building up a strong organization of the Legion in North Dakota. He ig 0 graduate of the University of North Dakota and before entering the serv- ice was state's attorney at Golden Valley, N. D. ‘ IDEALS OF AMERICAN LEGION Stand of Bill Dowling Post of Chad. ten, Neb., Has Brought Much Favorable Comment. The Ideals of the American Legion are explained in a published announce. -| ment of Bill Dowling Post of Chadron, Neb., which has drawn much favorable comment from Legion posts in the Middle West. The announcement read: : “To the public—No, we are not or- ganized to ‘gin the country’ or to ‘rob the government.’ Read the preamble te our constitution, “To politiclans—We stand for “poi- icles, not politics.’ “To capital—Some of us are capital. ists; all of us are laborers. ’ “To labor—Read what Samuel Gompers has to say in regard to labor and the Legion. “To all ex-service men—‘Let’s stick together.’ We started it over there; let’s finish it in the American Legion. “To all un-Americans—'Look out for. the American Legion!” AT THE MOVIES | —_——_—_* DOUBLE BILL AT THE REX.
