Settler’s Rates
Attractively Low
In view of the many recent
inquiries regarding settlers’
rates, which point toward an in
flux of permanent residents for
this coming spring, the follow
ing figures will be of interest to
many.
Bona fide settlers can bring
what is classed as “Emigrant
movables,” that is the ordinary
furniture, farm gear and stuff
that a settler might wish to
bring with him, for $1.33 a
hundred in carload minimum
quantities of 5,000 pounds. Reg
ular rates on this same classi-1
fication of personal effects and j
household goods is $3.81 per j
cwt., $70.20 per ton, plus a Se
attle wharfage charge of $1.05;
per ton, or 40 cubic feet.
Fares are $47.95 for adults,
$24.00 from 5 to 12 years, $6.95
from 2 to 5 years, and under
two free. Excess baggage is
$6.SO per hundred.
Palmer can’t brag too much
about its score of almost a baby
week. Mrs. Frank Ring of Tract
93 tells of the little sawmill
town of Goodman, Wis., where
with a population of only a
thousand there, have been as
high as ten born in a week. Dr.
Goobers, one of the town’s
physicians, died recently leav
ing a record of over 2,500 babies
delivered in 18 years.

Crawford Back From
Kenai Hunting Trip
Ellis Crawford, head mechat
the garage, is back from 10 days
spent with Tom O’Dale at Lake
Tusteinena on Kenai Peninsula.
Ellis bagged himself a fine
young bull and says that he saw
as many as thirty moose in one
herd, and witnessed the thrilling
sight of seeing two old monarchs
battle over the affections of
cows that stood apparently en
joying the contest.
Crawford says there were
many hunters down there,
among them George Petty, pop
ular creator of the “Petty” girl
appearing in each issue of Es
quire. Petty got himself a head
with a 70- nch spread.

The new creamery unit, with
big churn, pasteurize'., butter
mold, butter fat content tester
and all the other necessary
equipment, is open and ready
for business, according to C. C.
Deal who is in charge. When
the creamery goes into commei*
cial production depends upon

they bring in cream we will
start operating,” Mr. Deal said.
This unit will also take care
of the egg supply. Mr. Deal has
the cartons, the candling ap
paratus and everything neces
sary to the strictly commei’cial
production of eggs. The young
pullets shipped in here a few
months ago are already laying
