Timber Pirates" 77,.eeooy Respon-
aitle for Eorei: fires.
The Charges Are That Lrni:'ecrrn E!rs'G
the Lands Which They Fave Irnprop-
criy Cleared 10 Ren..cT Measurement
OF Stumpaso On Inpn.s.3ility.

ST.. CLOUD, Mimi, Sept. 1O,-.Arc tim
Der pirates responsible for the fiery
calamity uhicn has Lctal1cn the Min
nescta pine lando There are irltina-
tions that the state senatorial commit
tee which hiss for months been investi
eating Tie frauds against the state in
the cutting OF pine from the school
lands, viii te able TO show &stoni:hiE"
evidences rot only that the timber
pirates" have appropriated millions of
dollars worth Of lumber belonging to
the state but that in trying TO cover up
their stcalings they have started fires
which have resulted in the terrible loss
Of life and property in Pine, kanabec.
Carlton. and other counties iii the pine
belt.
Members OF the committee nave al
ready declared that they have discov-
cred large frauds against the state,
and now it is expected that they will
probe into the causes Of the fires which
have swept the whole pine country.
The charge is that the lumberncn have
fired the lands which they have iIn-
properly cleared, to render measure
ment Of stulnpagc impossible and
thereby shut OFF any suits which the
commission might attempt to bring
against them.
In one Of the chief hotels in ST.
Cloud, scont employed by the conf
mission to ferret cut cases Of lumber
thieves. has declared he had secured
sworn evidence that millions Of feet of
lumber had been stolen, and ihat as
soon as it had been cut the lumbcrmcn
had instructed their employees to burn
the ground over and "to make
good. clean job Of it,"
This is possible explanation of most
OF tho fires that have swept this re-
gion The lumherlncn in cutting tim
Der leave great piles Of ''toppings' all
through the woods, and besides that
all the smaller trees and underhrush
are left untouched. a torch thrust
here ana there into the piles Of top
pings in such a Cry season as this
starts tremendous fire that BURNS
ovcr the whole half-clcared area, and
eats the stur,ps from which luln Der has
been cat down TO Jumps OF c!larcoal
and when the sraugcrs of the commits
sion come to measure the stumpagc on
the ravagcl school lands they are left
with absolutely 10 basis for calculat-
ing the amount Of lumber stolen.
This is exactly what thc crooked
luinbcrmcn want. hut i'll starting these
fires they have made altogether too
"clcan a job" Of it. The fires have
spread over l.00n square miles OF coun-
Try. They have destroyed nobody
knows how many hundreds OF human
lives; they have devourcd so o00Q o9
worth OF property. Watcher or not it
can DC p:o"cl that these fires grew
olt Of Che little ores l:indlcd by tim
Der pirates, there is loud demand
through all tic pine country that the
manner OF cutting timber be severely
