We would again call attention to
the petition being circulated for sig.
natures, asking congress to- open for
settlement the pine lands of the Red
Lake reservation. Let Everybody sign
it. 1t is being sent out at the wish of
Hon. Knute Nelson. representative
from Minnesota, who will again intro.
duce bill to congress providing for
the opening of this reservation and
the sale of land on the stumpage plan.
Every settler in North Dakota is in
terested in this movement. Let Con.
gresham Nelson be backed UP in this
fight by the largest petition that ever
went to congress from the Northwest.
AS it is now, T. Il. Walker has a
monopoly in the lumber business for
all this country. He owns II large
tract of pine lands in the vicinity of
Red Lake. STEVENSON Bros, of Crook.
ston, also own a large area of pine
timber, but it is situated farther up
the Wild Rice than Walkers and The
latter has a system of locks for his
own use, which he can throw open at
the right time to cause logs above to
run aground. Last spring Stevenson s
were compelled in this way to sell
their logs to Walker. Of course,
Nelson's bill will encounter a strong
adverse lobby influence. He should
therefore be backed by an expression
of public sentiment as direct and forci-
| be as possible.
