We heard, for instance, of the Debolt brothers-Paul and Laraen, wbo homestead-ed e'ght mtles northeast of Peace Itiver town in 1922, coming from Humboldt, Seek. "We came in with two teams of horser, and nothing much else," aid Paul, who told us the story. Then we got an old sawmill. Didn't know a thing about it, but we tinkered around, an'cl this year, with a Irttle help, we'll cut over 100.000 feet, of lumber!" Mueb of the lumber was sold for sidewalks, in town, and for. UW building. Then the bovs' Mtfiold of a second-hand tractor.'' , i.fi iihotii ng iiruuna, ana Hatter traded it for a better one. Thi year, they've contracted for over -200 acres breaking at $ 7 an acre fir neighbors, using a new' tractor 'their Jh!rd. j Tbey beared brush nnd deadfall : lrom 70 acres of land on each of! their homeatcads. and will crop it to wheat this year. They cut their I own logs and built their first1 house, and did the wood hauling and lumbering on the side. "We had a G0(J outfit when we landed, and little else," concluded Paul.. "Today, we have lumber on hand sufficient to , pay all our debts, and we figurq we're worth round .OOO in land', equipment and stock.
