When CO.! John g. Cooper. of Chicago,
visited ST Paul in June of this year and
announced his intention of securing leg
iSiation from the state and government,
establishing a forest reserve and ma
tional park in the northern part of the
state, which would embrace three of the
largest counties in Minnesota and parts
of four others, his scheme received
good natured liberation, bat little active
support from the general public. Quiet

was desired to interest. The first out

Volved q section of about 12,000,O00 acres,
embracing a large amount of land held
by private individuals, lumbeFmen and
corporations interested in the develop
ment Of the resources of the northern
part OF the state. 1t was planned to ask
the state TO grant to the association title
to such lands 1t possessed In the sec
ton and to petition congress for legisla-
ton appropriating the government lands
and reservations for the same purpose
1t was then intended to interest those
holding lands aside from those of the
state and national government. towards
securing their consent to turn over their
holdings, after the standing pine had
been cut, for park purposes. No provis-
ion was made for the disposal of the IN
dams living on the government reserva-
lions and no satisfactory means outlined
whereby lumbermen could be induced to
turn over thousands of acres of valuable
land without receiving full value. The
entire section represented value which
reaches far into the millions.
AS the project developed and the gen
eral public began to take an interest in
the designs of the promoters, it became
evident that to secure the whole Of this
entire area for a national park was an
undertaking too great to be satisfactorily
carried out. Meetings were held in ST.
Paul and in Chicago, at which Col
Coopers original ideas were criticized
as contemplating an attempt to secure

publicity, to secure his end.
SUCCESS SEEMS ASSURED.
Since last June the Minnesota national
park project has not only been success
fully agitated, but has developed in
such a manner that a permanent organ
ization to carry out the plans of Col.
Cooper and his colleagues has been
formed and support secured from those
in high places. which assures the nlti-
mate success of the promoters. The
Minnesota National Park and Forestry
association has been organized to take
charge of the work of securing legisla-
ton and support and many of the most
prominent men in the state have definite
1y expressed their intention Of working
for the success of the park project.
Among those who have taken an active
part in promoting the plans Of the asso-
citation are Thomas Lowry, the well
known Minneapolis capitalist; Thomas
S. Shevlin, one of the prominent lum-
bermen of the state; Gilbert G. Hartley
OF Duluth; Claiming Seabury, OF St.

known newspaper men In the West and

secretary of agriculture of the United
States; Hon. Cyrus Northrcp and DR.. H.
M. Bracken, minneapolis The citizens
Of the different towns lying in the pro-
posed park district have been interested
and their active cooperation secured.
The original plans have been modified
to meet the demands Of a more thor
ough understanding of the 81 uation, the
original area proposed having been cut
down to about $4,000 acres, and the as
ISOLATION has so far advanced it's work
that before the end of the month dele
cation consisting of members Of congress,
of the presid ert's cabinet and high gov
eminent officials will visit the park re-
gion in company with the promoters to
see for themselves the natural beauties
of the spot, which Is to be made ma
tional pleasure ground, and to inform
themselves of the public good which
would accrue If legislation such as de-
sired were granted.
EARLY PLANS
The original plans of those who have
agitated the park proposition were some

the governments present methods OF car
ing for It's Indian wards. 1t is the inten-
ton to retain the Indians upon their DIFF
ferent reservations, the agency remaining
across the arm of Leech lake opposite
Walker and the agricultural pursuits of
the tribesmen being carried on as at pres
ent. The fact that Indians are on the site
does not hinder, but rather aids, the
park project, as they will remain last
ing attraction, giving visitors the opper
tunity Of seeing the red men in their nat
ural homes. In every part of the pro-
posed park are wigwams and tepees in
which live the different tribes occupying
the reservation. 1t Is possible to carry
out every detail of the park plans without
interfering with them in the least and
without infringing on their natural
rights.
The object of the national park aSso-
citation is to save the forests Of that re-
gion from devastation by AK or fire, TO
preserve the numerous lakes and rivers
that would disappear with the disappear
ance of the tree growth itself, to obviate
the disastrous alterations of drought and

the soil, to safeguard for those ia search

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

The Democratic party In the
late campaign made much of its
devotion to the idea of postal saw
ings banks, andcriticised a Repub-
lican administration fer not estab-
fishing them. 1t declared this to
be an evidence of ill-will toward
the workingman; and that it was
one of the national issues which it
was willing should be discussed.
1t might be recalled, in this con-
nection, that it is not so many
years ego that the Democratic
party controlled the presidency
and both houses of Congress.
It could do what it pleased, and it
did pass a tariff bill so bad
that its own president would not
sign it. But it did not enact the
establishment Of postal savings
banks, nor did it try to, or take
any interest in the matter what
ever. Such a system has been
recommended by postmasters gen.
eral, of sll political parties, pretty
much ever since the close of the
war. But the Democrats never
remembered or realized the i'm
portance of it until the campaign
of 1898.
A more Important fact is that
they did nat confess that the pos
tai savings bank, to all intents and
purposes exists today; and that it
has been established without any
fuss or feathers, without even any
action by Congress. simply by a
regulation of Republican admin
istration of the postofice depart
ment. Indeed, so many people
everywhere seem to be unaware of
the change that it is worth calling
to their attention. The need of
postal savings banks has been re-
moved because we have them now
at all money orders offices in the
country.
1t is provided that any person
may buy, in the usual way, pos
tai order payable to himself or to
any other person, and also pay
able at the office from which it is
obtained instead of at a distance.
This constitutes the postal savings
bank. For if a citizen can buy at
any money order postofice an
order for a sum of money on that
Office, which it must honor when
ever presented, the transaction is
exactly the same as making a de-
post in bank and taking out a
certificate payable without inter-
est. As the postal savings system
does not contemplate and could
not afford to pay interest, the
things are identical.
1t thus appears that, by simple
extension of the regulations, the
postofice department has settled a
controversy before the country
and Congress for many years. 1t
has put the postal savings bank
idea into practical operation with
out the need of any Legislation
whatever, The Republican party
has authorized it, and the people
will owe to it whatever benefits the
system confers upon labor, what
ever habits of thrift and economy
it encourages among the people.

Is To GO ABROAD
Horse Fred Button to Race on the
Pacific Coast.
SOLD BY Mr.. OUDERKIRk
High Quality Discovered by Acct
dent-A Road ShoWing-Col Par
ker's Rliss-JoCkey Club.

II John Ouderkirk, the contractor, yes
|Iterday sold his remarkable pacing
horse Fred Button to Bob" Ballen
tyne and F. l.. Dortch. 1t is said that
the price was $1,000 and it is generally
remarked amongst horsemen that the
purchasers have secured a rare bar
gain. All who are interested in rae
ing will regret to learn that the pres
ent intention of Messrs. Ballentyne
and Dortch is to send Fred Button
to the coast and that in probability
the famous green horse will not start
in a race here Men in the ranks of
the fancy say that Fred Button, for
use on the circuits in California, is
veritable gold mine AS the horse has
no record he is eligible to events in
which it will be simply impossible for
him to lose. For months he will be
able to sweep everything before him
and when he reaches the company of
the top notchers the present holders
of the very best records will be in
danger. Mr.. Ouderkirk says that the
horse will SHOW a mile in 2:04. 1t was
thought during Sunday, up to o'clock
in the afternoon, that Col. Sam1 Park
er would become the owner of Fred
Button. Col. Parker had an option on
the horse at $1,000 and was to say yes
or no at 5 o'clock The Colonel was
about five minutes late in keeping the
engagement and in the meantime Mr..
Ouderkirk had changed his mind about
selling. Between Sunday evening and
Monday morning Mr.. Ouderkirk
turned the matter over in his mind
and decided that he had best dispose
of the property. He was asked by
Messrs. Ballentyne and. Dortch to
name a figure and did so. The deal
was closed on the spot. The new own
ers take over all the trappings.
Fred Button is a siX-year-old son of
Alexander Button, known the world
over as the sire Of fast ones. There
is strong strain of thoroughbred on
the side of the dam of Fred Button,
giving the horse that courage so nee
essary for success in the harness. Fred
Button has been in the country less
than six months. Mr. Ouderkirk paid
$16O for the horse, intending to use it
only in a driving cart. "Of course"
says Mr.. Ouderkirk, Il knew that he
had license to do some travelling,
but he was so green that he was not
gated at all and l never had any SER
ious thought that he might be a racer.
That he did have speed was discovered
to me quite by accident. 1 was driving
out Beretania street one evening and
the way the horse handled himself
simply diSgusted me. He didn't seem
to be able to take three strides alike
He was just naturally unhandy and
uncertain in his gaits. He would trot
and pace and canter and walk and gall
lop. | think 1 lost patience a little
and gave him pretty sharp cut with
the whip. l was just beyond Thomas
Square and I remember seeing Jack"
McCandless sitting on his lanai and l
nodded and smiled to Jack" as that
horse sailed along at a rate that was
simply hair-raising. He paced square
ly at railroad speed and I said to my
self that he was a priZe-package that
had been wrapped up the wrong way

Almost Sold Himself.

Ned Macfarlane had a warm de-
sire to enliven the afternoon session
of the. Honolulu Stock Exchange yes
terday. He offered favorite security
at 1924, then at 1928. Next, just to
show that he was willing to make a
turn anf encourage trading. he did
1921 on the stock he had placed in the
asked list 81 more. AS some one re-
marked at the moment, Mr.. Macfar-
lane had to scale but trifle to go on
record as making a deal with himself.
Bid" and asked are the same on
couple of stocks handled on Change.
The explanation of this is that the
blocks offered and the blocks desired
are of different sizes. For instance,
one dealer wanted thirty shares of XII
hei and was willing to pay $16.50.
There was a man across the table who
would sell at $3.50, but he could not
break into a block of 100 shares.
