it is here since transportation costs
are considerably more.
Radios are common and knit the
colony with the outside Newspapers
can be had close by at Alaska points,
but it takes about two weeks to get
paper from Minnesota.
Mrs. Sandvik, who has for many
years been interested and a booster
for progressive principles, stated that
there will soon be need for a Farm
er-Labor party in their locality and
there is some talk of one now, but
at the present time all they have in
the way of an organization for farm
ers is the National Grange They
have other organizations for the young
people such as Boy and Girls Scouts,
All Clubs and Future Farmers.
Sandviks are Comfortable.
The former Moose Lake woman,
while feeling the thrill of visit here
among relatives and friends, stated
that they are exceedingly happy there
and that they are SO busy in their
every day work and social life that
they really have no time to be lone
some
She described their farm home
as being a seven-room residence with
four rooms on the ground floor and
three upstairs. Mr.. Sandvik, who
is an experienced carpenter, with the
aid of his family, erected their build
ings and they are comfortably and
happily situated with their land and
home being on a good road both
summer and winter.
She is hopeful for the future and
happy at present in the thought that
their own undertaking as we'll as
that of the entire project will be a
success.
The myth is exploded; Matanuska
is just like we would make-a happy
and contented group of good Amer
lean citizens.

IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of Madeline Le-
more Martin, who passed away one
sad year ago-Aug. 1, 1886.
Time speeds on, a year has passed
Since death its gloom, its shadow
cast,
Within our home, when all seemed
bright,
And took from us a shining light.
We miss that light, and ever will
Her vacant place there is none to fill.
Loving and kind in all her ways,
Upright and just to the end of her
days,
Sincere and true in heart and mind
Beautiful memories she left behind.
Down here we mourn, but not for
long,
For up in Heaven, we will meet anon.
Sadly missed by parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. J. ]. Martin,
and sisters, Hazel, Patricia,
Dorothy and Edna.

through the spectacular Redwood
forests. Oregon was lovely with all
its natural beauty. Gorgeous roses
bloomed in profusion everywhere.
Although it rained all during the week
we were there, it impressed me as
the incest state had seen since leav-
ing Minnesota.
After leaving Portland we took the
famous Columbia River Drive for
many miles, then crossed the river
and went to Spokane, across Idaho,
then through Glacier park via Logan
Pass, which was a hazardous trip as
the road had just been opened. Con-
struction work was being done be-
cause of recent wash-outs and land
slides. We met five bears while driv-
ing along 'Going to the Sun" high
way. They were all eager to make
friends with us, but we were a lit
tie "high-hat"
AT Great Falls, Mont, we took an
interesting trip through copper
Smelter.
After visiting relatives in various
part of Montana and North Dakota
and making two trips into Canada,
we finished our trip home, having
had no car trouble except one flat
tire after reaching Minnesota. We
travelled nearly 1000 miles in 13
states and two provinces of Canada.
The highest price we paid for gas
was 291a cents-near the Grand Can
yon. 1t was a grand trip, but we
were glad to be back.

winters and springs are much the
same as they are here, with the first
frost coming during the first part of
September. She stated that they
had not been showed in" as yet
up there, but that they have been
told by old timers that it really can
snow in Alaska. The roads are good
and the social life is interesting.
Good Soil.
The soil in most parts in the VAL
ley is black glacial silt and volcanic
ash and the timber is easily cleared
since the trees are all shallow-rooted.
There are no stones. Berries, pota-
toes, hay crops, small grains and 9TH
thrive there. The average farm con-
sists of from 40 to 80 acres and there
is at present no need for more. Work
projects have acted so far to keep
the colonistS in ready cash.
At Palmer, which is seven miles
distant from the Sandviks, there is
a chicken hatchery, creamery, doc
tor, hospital, community hall and in
fact facilities to take care of almost
everything the colonists might desire
or need. Just now, or rather be-
fore Mrs. Sandvik left there was an
effort being made to make the cream
cry cooperative and cooperative
trading post was being established.
Few Have Left,
While some have left, there is al
ways a waiting list from which to
choose new settlers to take over where
they left off and the colony is thriv-
ing and progressing to the degree
which can be reasonably expected
from a young and really rare expert
ment.
Mrs. Sandvik was glowing in her
description of the pioneering spirit
exhibited by all of the settlers from
Carlton county-her former home
county. She stated that the eight
families who arrived there on that
spring morning in 1885 are still there
and so happy that they have attracted
three more families from Carlton
county to make their home there
and they have organized into happy
group which meets occasionally much
to the envy of others in the colony
incidentally there are approximately
60 in the group when they are all
together.
1t is not difficult to break the bonds
with the government if one desires
to return to the United States, says
Mrs. Sandvik, for there are always
those who wish to 60 there
Styles, Modes the Same.
The styles and modes of living are
about the same as here, said Mrs.
Sandvik, stating that women will
be beautiful" wherever they are. AS
soon as new things come out the
people get them and that holds good
in the car industry also. There are
many cars there and most of them
are large ones; the Sandviks however,
have V-8 pickup, which is handy
vehicle to have on the farm. The
car price is about $500 more than

Large Crowds On Saturday.

To the casual observer it has APP
peared for some time during the past
summer that Saturday night in Askov
is popular to large number, but
not until last Saturday night has
there been an effort made to ascer-
tain the number who appear on the
village Main street.
However, the village marshal, Clar-
ence Morgensen, counted the cars
on the night mentioned and found
that more than 1876 were lined in the
three rows from the north end of
mating four to a car that would
make the number reach a total of
544. Parking facilities are taxed to
the limit on these nights.

Ask Weeds to be Cut.

The local church board has just
made an inspection of the cemetery
and finds that many of the lots are
in a deplorable condition. The board
asks that all lot owners take i'm
mediate steps to have their lots put
in first class condition.
Especially is it urgent that the
weeds be cut at once so as to pre-
vent the seed from spreading.

Special Public Meeting Called.

Monday evening the Legion boys
met in their hall and the same eve
ming the Askov Commercial club met
in the town hall. Without knowing
it, both organizations discussed the
same thing. Namely: Shouldn't we
have market day, or fair, or Ruta-
baga Day in Askov this year.
The Legion appointed commit
tee to investigate the possibility of
such. The Commercial club decided
to call special meeting for dis
cussion of the matter. Now it has
been arranged that both organiza-
tons will meet Friday night, Au-
gust 6, in the town hall to take
definite action on the matter. And
everyone is invited to this meeting
1t is especially important that farm
ers be present and a representative
from every business institution in
town should make it a point to be
present. A fair or Rutabaga Day can
not be success unless everyone is
willing to boost for it and help put
it across; so come in Friday night
and express your opinion, is the re-
quest of those already interested.
