To Boom The Town of Rusk.-
We are informed from a reliable
source that Ben Faast, the live wire
landman, who has created the coun-
try around Conrath, is to confine his
chief efforts this year to the town of
Rusk, in the southwestern corner of
the county. The land lies south and
southwest of Weyerhauser and Wey-
erhauser is to be made the working
point of the operations. The land Is
owned by the Rusk Farm Company
of which concern Faast is principal
stakeholder. The Faast concern are
large advertisers and give their set
tiers very liberal terms and every
possible Encouragement. Their pure
seed warehouse at Conrath has been
of great advantage to their settlers
and a similar pure seed house will be
built at Weyerhaeuser. The land to
be sold by the Rusk Land Company
is said to be of good quality altho
for the greater part it is rough and
broken. The people to be placed on
the land will be largely Polish and
will form continuation OF the Polish
colony in the western end of the
county.
