Now there are 21 holdinge, the homesteade of which stretch for &
diates cs of some five miles along the west side of the River Naver; and from theen 21 homes 34 men have served or ara earring with the military or naval forces. The record la the more remarkable heesuse on five of the holdinge the families are so young that no men are available, and another bolding is verat owing to the death of the settler.
