her chief glories. They arc not,
as many suppose, small areas of

by neighboring hills, and beauli-
til with evergreens and flowers,
but they 'arc vast territories of
country almost as large as some
states. They contain fields, for
ests and plains, where the herds
of the cattlemen have succeeded
the herds of buffalo; they arc
watered by the creeks and rivers
and contain villages and farm
louses; the v have springs and
