Haw you evei had the satistaction of yanking out with dynamite, or one of the many machines
for that purpose, the stumps from logged off land in the Northwest? The joy of the man who
clears such land can hardly be equalled. He has the possession of virgin soil—soil of a finer charac­
ter than they who first plowed the prairies could boast of. He has unlimited possibilities in the
way of crops. He knows not the woes of the owner of “ worn out” land. Once his land is cleared,
he sees the way to affluence quickly. Such land in the Northwest is reasonable in price. Very often’
it is accessible and close to a railroad. And when once it is cleared, plowed and planted its posses­
sor has the delight of the old pioneer with none of his discomforts.
