go away from home" they say, "to
hear the news" Here is something Of
which we have seen nothing in our
Minneapolis or st. Paul dailies:
Especial to the Chicago Times Herald)
DULUTH, Oct. 14.-It has just come to
light here that some of the dealers in tim
Der lands are conducting operations under
which they are acquiring some of the most
valuable timber lands in northern Mime
sofa for almost nothing. and doing it legiti-
mately, too. They are locating on lands in
the northern tier of counties in this state
with what is known as forestry scrip, which
entities them to locate on any lands sur
veyed or unsurveyed, in any part of the
country. This scrip they have been able to
buy at 81 to "a per acre, and thus they have
been locating on lands in this and other
counties at cost to them of about the
value of one large pine tree out of the hun
dreds each acre.
1t will be remembered that during Presi-
dent Cleveland's administration he was
much interested in the matter of preserving
the forests, and a number of large forest
reservations were made by him, mostly in
the West. On the lands thus reserved there
were, OF course, good many settlers, and
to compensate them for the loss of their
lands they were given the forestry scrip.
This could be located on land anywhere in
the United States. whether surveyed or not,
and it was the first scrip ever issued en-
tltllng its holder to locate ON 1unsurveyed
lands. Recently a number OF Land dealers
have been West and have purchased a
quantity of this scrip from the people to
whom it was issued, and, returning, they
have entered upon the choicest of the pine
lands in the unsurveyed portions of the
state. The scheme is working so we'll that
