Zone of the most interesting epochs
in the history of L'Anse, the enter
prising county seat of Baraga coun-
ty, was commemcrated last week
Monday, with the breaking of groand
for the erection Of the Bucher Memoir
ial and Research hospital. The ex-
ercises befitted the dignity Of the oc-
casion and speak volumes for the pro-
gressive spirit exhibited by the peo-
pie Of that community. which is less
than one-fifth as large as Iron River
and yet it has shown to the people
Of the upper peninsula that it can dc
things. The business places closed
for the afternoon andy the people
turned out en- masse. How many hos
pitfalls would have to be built in Iron
X yer before the business places
would close and the people turn oui
en- masse? Even the services Of the
great Calumet and Hecla band were
secured. Talk about enterprise and
goaheaditiveness why there You have

LAND CLEARING QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS

Is there any way ! can move large
boulders from my field without roll
ing or lifting them on stone boat?
L. F. Livingston, land clearing spec
ialst, Marquette, Mich, has specii-
cations and drawing for the Handy
Stone Boath which eliminates prac-
tically all hand work in removing
stones. He will be glad to furnish
you with these drawings and specif-
cations. \
Why did Michigan get land clear
ing specialist? The cut-over reg
ions Of the Lake States include Wis
consin and Minnesota. Wisconsin has
been conducting land clearing inves-
tigaticns and educational campaigns
fer the last six years; Minnesota for
the last two years. Through the
work of the colleges in these two
states, great deal of benefit has
been given to the man who is clearing
land. Through the land clearing spec
ialist in Michigan it is hoped that
land clearing will be made easier and
more economical.
Will there be land clearing meet
ings in the upper peninsula this win
ter? There will be a great many land
clearing meetings conducted in the
upper peninsula this winter. These
meeting will include three Thousand
feet Of land clearing moving pictures
showing all the phases of land clear
ing work; practical talks on land
clearing subjects and it is hoped that
, great many questions relative to
land clearing can be properly an
swered. If the men in each commun-
ity will request land clearing meet
ings through their county agent, 1t
will show us where they are most de-
sired.
Will dynamite kept over winter be
fit to use in the, spring? Yes, If 1t
HAS been kept in dry, well, venti-
lated place.
Can 20 per cent dynamite be used
for ditch blasting? Yes. if the soil
is not too heavy. or too mucky Us
+, ually 40 or go per cent is better.
| What is the difference between a
short and long anchor line? With a
short anchor the stump must be cut
low enough to allow the sweep to
! pass over it. With long anchor line
: the team may pass between the puller
and the anchor stump.
/ have difficulty in removing the
chokers from my stumps. If you will
throw stone or chunk Of wood under
the stump as it tips over your chok-
ers will come Off easily.
Is it necessary to use power pulley
with stump puiler? It is not neces-
sary If you use the combination Of
dynamite and stump puller.
How much dynamite will / need to
clear an acre Of old white pine stumps
with about sixty stumps averaging
about is inches and standing in clay
loan? About 75 to 100 pounds In
the spring to blow the stumps COM
pietely out Of the ground. From
one-sixth to one-f fourth cf this amount
IL q puller is user in combination
with the dynamite.
/ Will an inch cable last any longer
i than q quarter inch cable on .
stump machincf No, II will not. The
wear on q cable, not the strain, Il
what determines It's life.

intosh, secretary of the societys is
sending out a suggestion to farmers
who may plan to sell fruit in a SIM

liar manner. Mr.. Mackintosh's
suggestion is that fruit growers take
with them from their hanks or from
some town or county oficial, letter
stating that they grew the products,
which they offer for sale, on their

ments in fifty scattered localities well
under way together with the $3,000,-
000-a-year maintenance system, the
Minnesota highway development pro-
gram for 1921 now is waiting on con-
gress.
Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, this week made public
a desire to add more than $4,000, 600
of grading and gravel surfacing and
100000 of paving to the construc-
ton list this season. That will be
made possible, he, explained, only
through the early passage by congress
of legislation continuing Minnesota,s
federal aid allotment of $2,S40, 600
a year.
'Unless federal aid is soon forth
coming on the old basis" said Com
missioner Babcock, ''the highway
department must cut in two its new
construction plans for this year. 1t
will mean that highway users in Min
nesota will receive in 1921 only half
the permanent improvements plan
ned. Early passage of the so-called
Phipps-D owell or farmers road
bill for which We have been fighting
hard with the cooperation of the
National Farm Bureau federation,
however, will result in the full
measure of first year benefits under
Amendment No. l. Failure of such
legislation, or even passage of the
Townsend erich mems boulevards''
bill, will seriously handicap the
launching of the good roads program
in this state, Minnesota citizens
and public organizations, as before
suggested can assist by petitioning
members of congress to use their
offices to bring about continuation
of federal aid on the old basis.''

| Without a doubt the Seventh
Annual Reunion of the. Vermilion
Range Old Settlers Association to be
held in this city next week will be
one of the best meetings ever
held, every indication pointing that
way. All committees have their
work well caught up and everything
will be in ship-shape by Thursday
morning for the Old Timers and
their guests
Many are paying their dues and
many are joining this year for the
first time. The change in the laws
making women eligible has brought in
many new members.
The reunion will open Thursday
morning with the greeting of the Old
Settlers. At 10 o'clock, the special
train from Two Harbors will arrive
having on board the $50" year vet
Grams of the Duluth & Iron Range
who will celebrate with the Old Set
tiers. After the arrival of the train
parade will be formed and march
made to Fifth Avenue East where
automobiles will be on hand to trans
fer all to the grounds at Sandy Point
where the Annual Picnic takes place.
Basket lunches will be provided by
the picnicers besides which one of the
renowned Old Settlers booyahs win be
served. The booyah will be pre-
pared by Chef Peter NORM of Tower
and his assistants. A program of
water sports is also being arranged
and will be held if possible. Hereto
fore races and sports have not taken
very well as the old timers were
more interested in visiting than in
sports. The Girl Scouts will have
booths at the Point where cigars,
candies, ice cream, etc., will be sold
to those desiring. Coffee, cream and
sugar will be furnished by theAssoci-
alton. The Chase & Sanhorn
people through their local representa-
tives, The Miller Store Co, have
donated the coffee for the event and
this fact should be borne in mind
when testing the brew at the picnic.
DIR. Preston Bradley of Chicago
will deliver an address at the picnic
and other speakers will also be heard.
The City Band will be on hand to
help out in the entertainment by
furnishing excellent music for the
parade and the picnic. Dancing
