the city they reside in j have, perhaps, never ex

wouldn't know the map of the country if they
saw it, unless the name was printed on it in very
Urge type. We have before u a reliable map of

more than one-half of tbia vast extent of country,
nearly 800 miles in length by 400 in width, is good
arable laud ; is well watered ; contains an abund

extentive cattle ranges and sheep walks, and is, in

work on the road began May 1ft, 1880, and soma
