TO BEGIN WORK
 IN 1O DAYS ON
 GLACIER ROUTE
Small Crew to Begin Cross Sectioning Other Work
 Starts Tn 30 Days.

Preparatory to the launching of actual construction work on the Aux Bav-Tee Harbor section of Glacier Highway, an engineering party will begin cross section work and stalking within the next 10 days, said C. w.. Cheatham, Supervisor of the Bureau of Public Roads. MT Cheatham made a trip out over a portion of the road yesterday.
 The engineering party will probably be under Engineer E R. Hinnault, of the local B. P. R. office at the out set. Later he will be relieved by a resident engineer who is to come here from the organization in the States. The party will start work with about six men. Location survey work on the Aux Bay-Tee Harbor section was done late last fall.
 If the present weather continues, initiation of the seasons work will be greatly facilitated, said MT Cheatham. It will be- possible, he added, to start the gravelling of the loop section of the highway within a short time. An inspection of gravel banks made by him yesterday showed ahere is still too much snow on the ground to undertake that work at present. Before the end of 30 days, however, he expects the gravelling to be in full sway
 Some additions are to be made to the engineering force of the Bureau of Public Roads at an early date, said MT. Cheatham. These will come from the organization in the States. They will dnclude a division engineer for all Southeastern Alaska and resident engineers will be assigned to every project.
 Contracts for the new local worR and for Tongass Highway construc tion work at Ketchikan are to be ad vertised within a few days If it is found that no reasonable offers arc made, the Bureau Is prepared to g( ahead with construction by day labor

EIGHT ACRES OF LAND CHANGED
FROM WILD LAND TO Pillow
LAND IN 31s MONTHS

Little" Gust Anderson clears eight
acres in three and one-half months.
Gust Anderson moved to Ojibwa
from Minneapolis about two years ago.
Nearly all this time he spent working
out for others. Last fall it dawned
on Gust that as long as he worked out
he was getting nowhere on his own
farm. About September first he made
mp his mind TO stay at home and clear
hand. He has eight acres of new land
cleared TO prove that nc was Il man
of his word.
There is a real moral III this. Don't
get the working-out habit. 1t is easy
to get into but hard to break. Stay
ut home and clear as much as possible
even though it is hard at times. The
cleared acre is the thing that will put
You over the top and the only way TO
get the cleared acre is 10 stay home and
clear land.
Success is what we are all after and
the cleared acre spells success-South-

WHY NOT TELL THE
WHOLE STORY?
OLD TIMER GIVES
FIGURES ON CLEARING

FL. w. True said that it cost 500
per acre 10 clear an acre OF land at
Hawkins where the old schoolhouse
stands This was the heaviest kind of
green pine timber and the logs were
taken to he railroad track and green
stumps taken out.
Five acres where the county farm
buildings are located were cleared for
500 per acre. This work was done
several years ago when there was Il
great deal more timber on the land TO
remove than today The wages were
$3.50 per day.
Mr. True says it is not uncommon for
the cost Of clearing a new road TO run
over 800 an acre, but many contracts
are let for less than that figure.
In commenting on the article signed
"Bushwhacker," from Glen Flora, Mr..
True said that the whole thing was
misleading and that the man who wrote
that item and sent il out for pubiica-
ton was poor asset for Rusk county,
and should move out nj once, as his
room here is much preferred to his COM
pany. It is the boys who brushed and
seeded their land and cut hay among
the stumps who made tho money and
still own their farms. One must creep
before be walks if he don't want to
fall over. said Mr. True.

TIMES ARE GOOD,
SAYS ]. M. HIIRI ESS

a. NJ. HurleSS, OF WeyerhaeuSer,. was
in Ladysmith Saturday and said that
in comparison when he settled in Rusk
county the times now are good.
Mr.. Hurless. settled on 200 acres of
wild land seven miles southeast OF
Weyerhaeuser, near Island Lake. %
years ago. He bought more land and
sold some since and finally sold the
home farm and made his home in
WeyerhaeuSer.
While others worked ont in camps
III the winter time. Mr.. Hurless stayed
III home and cleared land. Finally get
ting GO acres cleared and into hay
land and fenced it,
In speaking Of the times then he
said that there was but little market
for anything and money was scarce.
There were no roads and he selected
his land after visiting it three times,
going to it over 4 timber trail. The
settlers finally made Il road of their
own from their land to connect with
the road to WeycrhaeuSer following
a railroad logging road right-of-way.
Elmer Hills father operated the
general store at Apollonia at that time
and Elmer was head clerk and chore
boy. Mr.. Hill said there was no mar
ket for anything, but they took the set
tiers butter on grocery bills and
dumped it into barrel and shipped it
to candy manufacturing house and
got six cents per pound. less the freight
for it.
Mr.. Hurless said that he would like
TO see more work done on the lateral
roads and less on pixies, as he consid-
erS that they were good enough TO do
for awhile two years ago.

mark in the early days Of the settling

4 SENSIBLE BULLETIN

The February bulletin of the Ma
tionaI Land Colonization Company has
a lot Of sound logic for the new settler.
They start ont with the question /:
why brush and clear" While they
recommend some cash, crops and chick
ems. they are strong in their endorse
ment of brushing and seeding, as they
realize it is the beginning of all good
things, such as fine buildings, pure
bred dairy herds. and well improved
farms, which follow the settler who
diligently brushes and seeds his land
and follows it up as it should be done.
This bulletin is a good help to new
settlers and is of more practical value
than most other bulletins of the kind
that we have seen.

FARMER 3 IN |

President Harding at Farm Confer
ence: The need of better financial
facilities for the farmer must be ap-
parent on the most casual cOnsidera-
ton of the profound divergence between
methods of financing agriculture and
other industries. The farmer who owns
his farm is capitalist, executive and
iaborer all in one. AS capitalist he
earns the smaller return on his invest
ment. AS executive he earns the
smaller return on his investment. AS
executive he is little paid, and as Ia
borer he is greatly underpaid in com
parison to labor in other occupations"
