In Picturesque Trlpp County.

to The News : Pnlinpcbto township
Is In the northwest corner of the Rose
bud roborvo In Trlpp county It re
ceived Its imino from a butte which
ran bo seen for miles around , and Is ,
In fact , a landmark. At the base of
the butte Is the postoflico , general
store and blacksmith shop , while to
'tho ' south , noitli , oust and west the

longllig to honicsloadcis. Lyman

As one goes north on tho'l'iesho
tiall , the road seems lo climb up with
bleaks or deep cliaws and tavlnes on
either side , until tliu dome of heaven
seems close overhead , and the val-
ICJK of the White river and Cottonwood -
wood creek lie f < ir below. The view
Is beautiful , In the Hiimmoi time the
winding rlvoi with the does and hills

one's view , as It Is llrst seen fiom the
top of the table land fairly takes'ono's
llnoath \ On a cleat day the smoke
of the engine can be plainly seen as
the lialii pulls In and out of the sta
tion at Vivian , across the ilver In Ly
man county , some twenty-live miles
away. Heio are a profusion of wild
lloweis , many beautiful varieties.
Along the White liver and the creeks
IH found much wild .fault , many grapes
and plums. Lint fall , although all
the ftult had been killed bj the free/o
'
late in the spilng In other parts of
South Dakota , the river was llnted on
cither side with red bushes , loaded
witli hundicds of bushels of buffalo
beirles. Along the river are Ideal
' spots for camping expeditions and
j ' pintles Many paitles take advantage
' '
of the fruit and llshlng each summer
'
and < amp near the ilver.
The fact that this part of Trlpp
county was so far fiom the end of the
, toad at Dallas , nnd that It was sup
posed to be all very rough was prob
ably icsponslble for the fact that
many good claims wore left open and
weio filed upon after the first of Oc
tober , and during the squatters' rush.
This fall n vciy comfoi table little
schoolhonse was erected near the
butte , where most of the children of
school ago are. Pahapesto means In
the Indian language , "high , steep ele
vation. " (
Heie , ' as in other parts of Trlpp
'tenuity i , there are men ami women
from many states , many professions ,
nnd many walks of life , all desirous
i of obtaining 100 acres of ground , most
'
of these to bo permanent homes. It
takes considerable courage to go sixty
miles , fiom Clio railroad. Last summer
two sisters , both school teachers , who
i have claims up her" , being in need of
j lumber , provisions , etc. , made three
tiips to Grogoij for Height , nearly
scvontj miles away , with a team com
posed of an old buggy noise belong
ing to one of them , and the other's
little saddle bioncho. Their experi
ences weio many and varied. Some
laughable , otheis seilous. The bron
cho had a way of stopping half way
up a bleep hill to admire the surround
ing country , refusing to move an Inch
until the spliit moved him , some
times this would bo for a short time ,
some limes for several hours. Then
lie would make up for lost time go

whole load on the decline.
| On Oak crook , richt across the line
