BIG DEAL IN MICHIGAN LAND
Purchase Of Vast Tract Almost a.
Large as the State Of
Rhode Island.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.-As a result
Of the purchase Of $4,000 acres Of
land in the upper peninsula of Michi-
gan by H. H. Hamilton of Saint Paul,
for the Western Land Securities COM
pany of that city. employment will be
given to 5000 men in that district this
year. 1t is the intention of the COM
pany to spend $4,000, 900 on drainage
and other improvements.
Work will be rushed as rapidly as
possible and Is o o as spring opens
laborers will be in demand on the
peninsula. Dredging crews will in
wade the territory and will start work
as soon as the weather conditions per-
nit. Manistique river will be the
natural outlet for all the water which
is to be removed from the land and
carried into Lake Michigan. AS the
ditch diggers build bitches around
each section Of land, they will at the
same time be building a road. The
huge dippers of these dredging ma
chimes as they lift the soil from the
earth will cast 1t on either side of the
ditch and deposit it IN such a manner
that steam rollers and grading ma
chimes will find 1t very little trouble to
roll 1t out and level It into a road.
This plan Of simultaneous ditch and
road building has been successfully
followed in the upper portion Of Min
nesota and in other states, and the old
cry Of farmers that they could lot get
their products to market because of
the lack of highways will not be heard
in the upper peninsula OF Michigan
because Of the fact that the settler
will find a good roadway near his land
when he begins to till the soil. >
Great interest has been manifested
In this district by the announcement
Of the purchase of this vast tract Of
land, which covers Lib square miles
and is only a triie smaller than the
state of Rhode Island. Farmers who
have already located in that district
are highly pleased by the fact that a
company with ample funds to carry
on improvements has become the own
er of this small empire and appreciate
the fact that the improvements In the
way of drainage and clearing will
make their land more valuable. The
expenditure Of such q sum as $4,000
900 In the district will undoubtedly
cause a wave of prosperity in Sault
Ste. Marie, Rudyard. Manistique, Es-
CANADA, Pickford, Trout Lake, Menom-
onie, Munlsing, Marquette and New
berry. the like OF which has not been
felt in many years.

Editor Ardmoreite:
e In an article only few days ago
your paper had statement regarding
the Ardmore high school building,
and as a tax payer and citizen of the
city | want to commend you for It,
Now that the high school bonds are
sold and money available to build a
hieh school building, ! am one out
out of many who would be glad to
see the school board carefully select
an architect who knows his business
and one who has made good in our
own city.
There is no use to beat about the
bush in this matter. and | respectful
lv direct the attention of the school
board to the work of w. A. Tackett of
Ardmore.
He was the architect for Hargrove
College. and even the children of Ard
more know that he was the "man on
the job in building our elegant coun-
ty court house. This work speaks
for itself, and any doubling Thomas"
can by inquiry find that nothing
went into the court house except the
very best material, and I favor pat
ronizing Home Industry and engag-
ing the services of competent pro-
fessional men, if to be found in Ard
more.
Who would think of sending to
Oklahoma City, Dallas or Kansas
City for physician, dentist. lawyer
or clerk with the talent we have in
our city, and therefore, we ought to
help people who live in Ardmore and
spend all their money here, provided
they can do the work.
Who says that Tackett cant fur
nlSh plans and do good work in the
high school building?
