The land department Of the Hack
ley-Pbelps-Bonnell Company has bad
a very successful year just closing.
The department has disposed OF all
of four thousand acres Of splendid
farming land. and the number OF new
settlers has about reached the hun
dred mark. Most OF them have al
ready started building and are clear
ing land rapidly.
lisa pleasure indeed to travel
through the town Of Phelps and see
the land that was a wilderness few
years ago being transformed into
thrifty little farms. Most OF the set
tiers come under the class termed
"hustlers" and boosters" and are
putting in all the time pc sible clear
ing aud preparing for bumper crop
next year.
A great number OF the farmers are
working in the woods this winter and
some are working in town. but they
will all 90 back on the farm next
spring and get their crops planted.
The II. p. b. Company has made it
point to give these new settlers en-
ployment when not busy on their
own lands. Ia that way there Is no
chance for them to make failure IL
they are willing to work.
The improved lands are raising in
value every year. and il is only a
matter Of q short time when the cut
over land will be worth double the
price that il is now. People are be-
ginning to realize that owning their
own farms is an advantage. and, due

FRENCH WHEAT CROP
HEAVIEST in YEARS

PARIS, June 25.-Another month
of good growing weather with favor
able harvesting conditions will be
worth between three billion and four
billion francs to France, in the opin-
ion of the agricultural experts.

ter, France will buy but little wheat
abroad next year If conditions con
tinue as favorable as now, she may
not buy any" said a high official OF
the ministry of agriculture.
In 1919, a poor year, France raised
173,O00, 100000 bushels Of wheat and
had to buy 150,O0O,000 bushels
abroad This year is declared to
be- the best year in the memory OF
farmers for all crops. with 100000
acres mare seeded than last year
The crop is estimated at least fifty
per cent better, bringing the yield tc
100000, 100000 bushels.

BRINGS CHEERING
VIEW OF EUROPE
Otto H. Kahn Optimistic
Over Future Financial
Conditions Overseas

NEW YORK, June 29.-Difficulties
arising from the war are being dealt
with satisfactorily in England,
France and Italy, according to Otto
II. Cam, banker who has just re-
turned from Europe. Prediction that
they will be overcome is justified
he said. For the last year, Mr..
Kahn declared, Europe has been suf-
fering less from the effects of the
war than from peace.
England is prosperous and is 60
ing ahead, Mr. Kahn said, and talk
that this country can displace her
in the worlds finances is idle.
'Tn saying this" he added, 81 am
far from Understanding the leading
part America will play in the worlds
work and the boundless scope of
our opportunities"
France is also hard at work, the
banker found, but the French are
Somewhat disillusioned and dsap
pointed that American capital re-
mains largely conspicuous by its
absence" Italy has a surplus of
labor he said and is making good
progress, curtailing imports and in
creasing exports.
Mr. Kahn said the European labor
situation is not very different from
here and he does not consider it is
being "actuated to any serious ex-
tent by Bolshevist or kindred mo-
tives"
Russians with whom the banker
talked in Paris look for the collapse
of the Bolsbevih oligarchy within
Is months. but they believe Russia
will remain a republic he asserted
In the opinion of Germans, French
men, Englishmen and Americans
with whom he discussed the German
situation, Mr.. Kahn said nothing is
to be feared from the junker mil
itarist or Hohenzollern parties.

freight advances asked for by COM
panies in the Pacific Coast trade,
local steamship officials state that,
If the permission sought is granted

not affect Alaska shipments orig

ic coast and brought there by rail-
road.
