FLAT SOD-ROOFED LOG HOUSE ON POWDER RIVER, 



hut, such as are used by gunners in 

 Maine and trappers in the Western 

 mountains, to the regular log dwel- 

 ling with flat sod-covered roofs in 

 the. West, or the "saddle bag" hip- 

 roofed houses such as they have in 

 the South. But since the advent in the 

 woods of enormously rich people, log 

 palaces have sprung up among the 

 mountains and forests and along with 

 them "no trespass" notices, insolent 



liveried servants and other things that 

 nature abhors and which should be rele- 

 gated to the effete civilization of the 

 cities or removed to the degenerate 

 Orient. 



The log house is dear to the hearts of 

 all Americans. The great Lincoln was 

 born and reared in one, and all of us 

 who trace our American ancestors back 

 a few generations come from log-house 

 dwellers.
