For example: There isn’t an acre of cutover land this whole country that you and the hardwood.factories here and at Hin City will take alk you can furnish them at $2.75 per bolt. Now, this poplar isn’t worth anything for any other purpose, but it makes good barrel and tub staves, Twenty-five bolts to the acre is a low average and in the Pokegama lake country | it will run closer to the 150 mark. “We will suppose that a man buys 80 acres of catover land near here! at $12.50 per acre. This is the average price. Now, the cutting of this poplar will cost him 75 cents per bolt. Of course, the hauling must be counted in, but that will furnish; him employment at a good figure. Two bolts is the average load, at $1 per bolt, and if the settler can- not make from two to six trips, a/| day, he is a pretty poor sort of a} hustlér. Thus the cost to the set- will be $1.75, leaving him a clear profit of $1 per bolt, in addition to good wages for the hauling. Using | 25 bolts to each acre as the average, | would meam a profit of $25 per acre, or $2,000 on the 80acre tract. In addition to this, the stumpage is Worth about $12.50 an acre. This means the stumpage will offset the price of the land and the settler! will receive a bonus of $25 for each acre he clears. That's why I say this country abounds in opportunities for the man of small means, provid- ing he is a hustler. Then too, if the ‘settler proceeds intelligently mbout the work of clearing, he will! saw the stumps off on a level with the ground and thus he can raise a/ good crop of hay the next year, fur- | nishing feed for his horses. I-.am j now clearing off my Pokegama lake /| farm in ths manner and I am in al position to know that 25 bolts to} the acre is a very low average.” | $ Cohasset Cuilings ; Le ee ee ee ee eae ee ee eT ' Hl } | Write it 1912. | Evelyn Lane and Muriel el ton have been very ill with pneu- monia.

M’DONALD Former Resident of Grand Rapids Passes Away at International _ The many Grand Rapids friends of Mrs. R. S. McDonald were grieved whea word was received here of her death on the 23rd of December, at fer, home in International Falls. many years the family resided popular citizens. } The following ie taken from the} —— of the 29th: she was so ill that she had been Temoved to the hospital, few real- ized tha: her condition was so critic- al. Her illness resulted in pneu- monia, during which a baby was Dorn, causing complications which made the funeral on Tuesday a double one. The remains were oot moved to the home where they re- mained until the funeral, which was | held Tuesday from the Catholic | chureh, with interment at the atl cemetery. Grace A. Barclay was born al Pine River, Miun., April 2nd, 1882. | Her education was secured in th public schools of Brainerd and at St. Mary’s academy, St. Paul. In 1898 she was married to Mr. McDon- ald, by whom she is survived, with six small children, and by her Mrs. A. Dawes, of Pine! River, who arrived this morning. | Deceased was a good mother, a leving wife, and during her residence here of more than six years had en- deared herself to a large circle of friends who feel in her death a per-/} sonal loss, and who sympathize deep- | Jy with the family in their great; bereavement, j At a late hour Saturday the time! \of the funeral of Mrs. R. S. Me-j Donald and baby, was changed to 10 o’clock Tuesday morning, when the services conducted by Rev., Father Killeen at Holy, Apostles’ | Catholic church were Jargely at-| bad oO Fall Fashions All the latest in Feathers, Furs, Ribbons, Silks, etc., for neat and up- to-date street and dress hats.

At the conclusion of the services the funeral cortege| wended its way to the city ceme-! tery where the remains were con- signed to mother earth, with due veremony. It was a sad, cheerlesg Christ- mas for Mr. McDonald and children and their grandmother, and was strongly in contrast with those which they had previously known, as Mrs. McDonald was a mother who left nothing undone which would con- toe ne ment meat!
