CO-OPERATE ON
LAND SURVEY
Farmers at Fairbanks Have IMan to
Save Money by Blanket
Survey
The Tanana Valley Agricultural
Association held an interesting session
recently at Fairbanks. The chief sub
ject discussed at the meeting was good
roads, the discussion ending with the
granting, by the members, of power
to proceed with good roads negotia
tions, to the excutive board of the or-,
1 ganization.
R. F. Washburn, of the local land
office force, who has been elected to ;
an honorary membership of the asso-;
ciation, was one of the chief speakers
at the meeting. He told of the plans
that are now being made by the Chief
of the Alaska Field Division of the |
Land Office, C. R. Arundel, for the
surveying of homesteads on unsurvey
ed lands. Could a number of the'
homesteaders get together in the mat-j
ter, it would mean a saving of money
to them, as under the present plansi
, each has to pay for his own survey. J
