Dynamite for the blasting of
{stumps was a luxury. Most of

This meant keeping fires burning
beneath the stumps until they
lburned to the ground. But the
llong, stubborn roots took plenty
30f chopping and grubbing to get
[them out of the way before the:
isoil could be cultivated for use.
Happy was the homesteader that
boasted a piece of cleared ground
that would raise potatoes enough
ito last the family a year.

lcepted much of the heavy work

the larder so depleted that it was
up to the menfolks to start out
early the following morning and
rustle supplies. My younger un-
cle was home at the time; pre-
vious to his enlistment in the
Spanish-American War. Before-
they could buy anything they
must first secure the equivalent
for their purchases. -
They took the wheelbarrow, and

Olympia. My grandfather rewed
while my uncle trolled. By the
time they reached Olympia he
had caught a nice string of fish.
There was no sale for clams.
They were plentiful, and people
dug their own clams. But it
took more time and effort to
catch fish. So grandfather trudg-
ed all around town trying to sell
the fish. After several refusals
from housewives to buy the fish
he decided to make one more at-
tempt. He sauntered into a bank,
and asked the banker if he would
like to buy some fish. And sure
enough the banker bought them.
Now they hadvmoney to buy the
necessities of life that would give
them strength to dig out more
stumps.
I When I hear my two uncles
talking about those days I real-
ize that much contentment and
satisfaction rewarded their strug-
gles and efforts. I .
They claim those days were
truly the happy days.
