if I J- URV BHOtU W«rk th» ExttBBlM I* tit Baft budi. BUnwtrck tribune. Major Walker of the St. Louis store lias just returned from a trip to tho canton ment on the tittle Missouri/He reports tiio work ontbe extension as progressing rapidly. Walker, Bellows & Co., hare ex cellent ability and are pushing tho work with energy .The grading in the Bad Lands is a.feat in railroading almost unparalleled. Material, horse carts, narrow* gauge portable railroad, dump carts and all oth er tools necessary for construction of the roadbed are being taken to the front. Mr. Walker thinks tho iron, horse will no doubt take Water from the .Yellowstone river by next fall. For grazing, Mr. Walker says that the Bad Lands are des tined to become of much cote. He was surprised to see men cutting- a good equal ity of hay in January with an old flubioned scythe. Cattle behind the bluffs in the Bad Lands are thoroughly protected from wind and snow, and they can find good grazing the winter through. Capt. Baker, Mftj. Carland and Lieut. Ingalls have just completed the filling of a large ice house, packing the cakes between layers of hay cut this winter around the cantonment. Capt. Baker says that he consider this hay as good feed as any that grows in the Territory. The weather, though cold, is not as boisterous and blizzardly inclined as it is further east. A Csrisu Ctlauj ®f Ctattuiatfi Nine miles from Walla Walia Wash Ter, is situated a colony-of Davistre Mormans. They call their organization Che Kingdom of Heaven on earth. They believe that the spirits return and take upon them selves new bodies, 'and that the spirif of Jesus Christ, John the Revclator, John the Babtist, St. Peter aud about halt the other apostles, King David, Moses the Lawgiver, Abraham, Isaffc, and Jacob, have returned, been born over again, and that they now have those sacred children in that colony, and are 'Only waiting for them to grow up when they shall conquer the whole world.- They have a sacred corral, in which those children play, which none can enter without taking off their shoes. Davia has a daughter about nine yean of age who, it is claimed, is the great eternal mother of spirits. She is the mother of her fkthers spirit—in fact, *U spirits—and is to be mated by her ftftberto her brother in flesh, who- is the gnat lather of spirits. Davis deists to km the power over life and death, that he and all who believe fklthfally in his doctrinte may life as loot as they 'please. Ncvottbslses, his wife the mother of Jeans, di«d last spring, and Davis was not feeling Very well himself when we saw him last The child jeeos ie ltd haired and wears it long,j|ad ia slightly ftaeV. led in the fee* has a long aqhitiae aoee, a clear blue eje, and a pleasant ex preesion. Members of this colony never shave or eat their hair, aad Seldom comb it. The OentUee have nicknamed them "the barber killers." They hold their property in common, but Davis holds the deeds titles, etc. Most of them say that communisru is an impossibility, and would gladly gel out of it if they could do 40 satisfactorily, which they can not* do. They argue that Jesus wes neither married nor given, in marriage,- but wae as the angels in heaven and thai in the Lord's prayer, ^Jesus prayed: "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as done in heaven.'* And now that his kingdom has come and his will is done on earth as it is in heaven, they are married no, morr, but mated by Davis to salt himself Davis claims tah^ the Holy Ghost, the 'triv representative of the eternal father of, spirits, the standard of Israel, and com mander-in chief of heaven and earth. In a pamphlet published by him he says: "It is God's will that you do my will for aver and ever." Davis 1s a Wetdman, and the remainder are English, Irish, Sco&h, Scandinavians, Canadians, aad a few backwoods Americans. When gathered together for services they would remind one very forcibly of Mark Twain's an prejudiced jmy. When we left the camp ofbmel young Jesus aad John the Reve* lator were trying to lass* some, young docks. St. Peter and John the Baptist' were riding aroqnd on thetr stick horses, mocking the docks with their quack, quack, qoack, while King David aad Moses weremaki^f eeoemadmarblss. The Mandaa "Weeper" contains thefol lowing: "A few days ago Mr. Davis «bowed 'Owl,' a Bertbold Indian, a flint anw-lwd which he had fhund while twreling over the prairie aear towa, and asked him how they were saade with soch seamy.
