This is rather a lonely place for my men and they get dissatisfied at times. All workmen seem chronically dissatisfied, and their women constantly urge them to rebellion. Already there are grumblings, and they claim they're buried alive in this forlorn forest.

Really, a live newspaper might do them good — especially if you print a little socialistic drivel now and then."
