The picture shows the tractor along

the grader, but when it started to

right down there and it was necessary

This peat swamp is located four and
quarter miles east of Askov and
there is every indie alton that the
crew will have a lot of difficulties to

kind of circumstances which slow UP
the work so much that people who
haven't actually seen the conditions
begin to wonder why it sometimes
takes so long to build mile of road

Fred Hedberg and his family were
mentioned in the column of the Amer
lean in the issue of July %, 1926
under Little Journeys Here and
There and Fred is well known as an
efficient road builder. He constructed
the old No. 1 from the North end of
the county to Rutledge; built the FL
well road along the Great Northern
from the north end of the county to
point where he met the crew work
ing from the south and has partly
improved the so-called Jacobsen hill
on the road to Duluth which is not
completed, but may be finished next
year. Both hills are to be cut down
to a gradual slope and about feet of
dirt put on top of the bridge. He has
of course built many smaller and less
difficult pieces of road. He and his
