TO COLOMBO CUT-OVER LAND
Spokane Chamber of Commerce Has
Cheap Farm Scheme.
WILL HOLD A CONFERENCE
Convention for DiscussiOnjof Methods

stumps Committee -
Appointed.

SPOKANE. Wash. April SPECIAL
Offering to the man Of small means an
opportunity 10 vrost from the soil GER
tain livelihood with provision for hand
some profit as the years roll by, a new
movement has been inauguratcd here
which bids fair to open to settlement many
thousand square miles in eastern Wash
ington, northern Idaho and western
Montana The project emodies placing on
the market great tracts Of logged-off lands
from which the timber has been cut in
recent years. The productiveness of the
soil of such land is almost unbelievable.
True the stumps must be removed but
with modern methods this can be done
at so low figue that the total cost OF
the soil ready for the pillow Is much less
than for some tracts now upon the market
in sections which have never been wooded
A convention to discuss ways and means
OF colonizing the big area has been called
under the auspices Of the Spokane Cham
Der Commerce for April II. Invitations
to the convention have been issued tc
representatives of comercial clubs through
out the Inland Empire, also to owners OF
logged-off areas and especially to those
settlers who have demonstrated the
practicability of removing stumps by in
expensive processes. The railway com
psnies have also been invited to send
representatives. It will be the purpose OF
the convention to gather data on all OF
the essential details necessary to induce
prospective settlers, who are not discour-
aged at the prospect of hard labor to gel
onto these cheap and remarkably fertile
lands.
Men who have made a success of farm
ing on logged-off land will be invited to
give what information, they can as to the
best methods of cutivating and what, in
Il cir belief is the most practicable way
of removing the stumps. The popular
methods employed are dynamitng, burn
ing and charcoaling. The ilatter method
is used with great success on the Pacific
coast and consists of boring a hole in the
center of the log and through the side
thus creating a direct draft.
The committee in charge Of the conven
ton consists of Samuel Glasgow, secretary
OF the Centennial Mill company; n. w
Durham, journalist T. j. Humbird, pres
dent Of the Humbird Lumber company
f. F. Cartier Van Dissel, vice president
of the National Apple show; j. P. Nc
