A Petrified Duck—Albert Herbert brought up from the Cannonball country a curious stone that closely resembles a petrified wild duck and has it in exhibition at Giltschka's store. He says that part of the state is fairly overrun with new settlers and that caravans are to be seen going down into that section every day; that it is a splendid country; very fertile, and will soon be as densely settled as some of the country that has been off the map for many years.
