MINNEsoTA's NATIONAL PARK
Project Is Approved by Secretary Of
Agriculture Wilson as a Means
of Conserving the Missis-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Secretary
Hitchcock will return to Washington to-
night. 1t is expected that he will take
I'D and dispose of the sales of the tim
Der land on the White Earth reservation
next week. It Is stated authoritatVely
that he will probably approve the sales
of some small tracts, but that sales to
Weyerhaeuser will not be approved
The secretary told Weyerhaeuser when
the Mercer contracts were discussed last
week, that unless you answer the ques-
tons L have asked or give some explana-
ton satisfactory to me, 1 will neveT~ ap-
prove the sales of land to your company"
Weyerhaeuser has not answered the
questions or given the explanation re-
quested. The sales to his company, there
fore, will be thrown out and possibly
some others.
MINNE'S FOREST RESERVE.
ST have been asked for an opinion as
to the feasibility Of establishing forest
reserve in Northern Minnesota said Sc
cretary Wilson today. az can say, how
ever, that 1 am in favor of the estab-
lishment of the park as a. measure for
preserving the water supply at the head
waters of the Mississippi and other rivers
in that section. There has been no In
vestigation by this department, such as
has been made in other sections OF the
country
Although Secretary Wilson knows moth
ing of the efforts now on foot to estab-
fish the Minnesota national park, a sug-
gestion has been made by friends Of the
project that the investfgat ton be placed
in his hands. 1t is pointed out the secre-
tary has at his command corps of
skilled foresters, who could be sent into
the park region next summer and who
could report when. congress meets next
December. Such an Investigation would
be inexpensive, compared with one of
congressional commission. The govern
ment Is now paying the foresters' salar-
les, and the only additional expense would
be for experienced guides to take them
through the park. This method was
pursued in the case of the proposed
Appalachian reserve in North Carolina,
and a report will be sent to congress N
the near future.

HIS LEG TORN OFF.
Grand Forks Lad Caught In Oil Mill
Machinery

&C, Grand FORKS, N. D.. Dec 20
Thursday afternoon shortly after
% clock, the son Of Benjamin Shoe was
the victim of a very serious accident at
the oil mill here. AS no one was pres
emit at the time it is not known exactly
how the accident occurred, but 1t is
supposed that the boy opened one of the
traps of the conveyor of the elevator
to the oil mill and that In some manner
he slipped and one of his feet was caught
by the screw. His cries brought the
employees of the mill to the scene and
he was at once taken to the Deaconess
hospital. DR.. Duggan, who was at once
called, saw that amputation was neces-
sary to save the boys life. The right
leg was torn off between the knee and
the thigh. and it was first thought that
1t would be necessary to amputate the
other leg also, but later it was found
that there was a chance to save the limb,
the thigh bone of which was shattered
and the flesh badly cut between the knee
and the thigh.
The boy stood the operation well, and
it is thought that he Will recover.
The manager of the mill says that he
has feared some accident for some time
past, as a number of the boys of the city
have persisted in playing in and around
the mill despite repeated warning.

BIG STORE sCORCHED.

CHICAGO Dec. 29.-F'ire, which for a
lime threatened with destruction the vast
retail store of Marshall Field e company,
was discovered in the white goods and
cloak repairing rooms on the third floor
shortly after seven o'clock this morning.
Before the fire department arrived the
flames had spread to other departments
and had eaten their way into the uphols-
terry department on the fourth floor. \
general alarm was turned in and by hard
work the fire was confined to the third
and fourth floors of the old Field build
ing on State street, the flames not reach
ing the Wabash avenue annex.
The fire apparently originated in the
cable shaft of the elevators. General
Manager SeIfridge estimated the damage
at not to exceed $25, OCO, mostly by water.
That portion Of the building known as

FIFTY TONS OF CANDY
Have Been Sent to Our Soldiers In

Government.

Have Reen Sent to Our Soldiers in
the Philippine Islands by the
Government.
Fifty tons Of candy have been sent to
The soldiers in the Philippine Islands by
the commissary department of the army
during the last three months and large
amounts to the soldiers in Cuba and
Porto Rico.
This is done upon advice of the medical
officers of the army, because it is a
physiological fact that a moderate con-
sumption of confectionery promotes
health and satisfies a natural craving Of
the stomach.
Candy was never furnished to the
Cllted States army before, although it
has been commonly used as ration by
the French and British troops in the
tropics
This eXplodes another old fashioned
1hcory that sweets were injurious to the
digestive organs, while a moderate use
Of sweets is actually beneficial.
Very few things are injurious and the
food cranlIs who advocate the use of 4
59aw grains and vegetables and decry the
use of sweets and meats are in error, as
d wholesome variety of meat and vege-
table food is absolutely necessary for
the maintenance of the highest condition
of health.
The best rule to follow is to eat what
the appetite Graves, and If there is any
discomfort or trouble in digesting meat
and sweets, the difficulty can be readily
overcome by the regular use after meals
of some safe digestive composed Of pep
sin and diastase which will assist the
stomach by increasing the flow of gastric
juice and furnish the natural peptone

THE WICKED MOSQUITO
Responsible for the Spread of yell
low Fever and Malaria.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The United
States government has formally recog-
nize the responsibility of the mosquito
for the transmission of yellow fever and
malariaI diseases. This fact is indi-
Gated by the issuance of a general or
der by Maj. Gen. Wood, at Havana, di-
rected to his post commanders, reciting
that the chief surgeon of the department.
of Cuba has reported that it is now web
established that malaria, yellow fever
infection are transmitted by the biles
Of mosquitoes. Therefore the troops are
enjOined to observe carefully two pre-
cautions. First, they are to use mos
quito bars in all barracks, hospitals and
field service whenever practicable Sec
ond, they are to destroy the "wgglers''
or young mosquitoes by the use of pc
troleum on the waters where they breed.
Permanent pools or pUddles are to be
filed up. To the others are to be ap-
piled one ounce of kerosene to each fif-
teen square feet of water twice a month,
which will destroy not only the young
but the old mosquitoes. This does not
injure drinking water if drawn from
below and not dipped out. Protection
is thus secured, according to the order,
because the mosquito does not fly far;
Seeks shelter when the wind blows and
thus each community breeds it's own

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Writipg on '"The
president Of the Twentieth Century for
copyrighted special issue of the New
York World tomorrow, eX-President
cleveland refers to the presidential ten
ure in these terms
Thoughtful citizens will more and
more appreciate the objections urged
against the present indirect and cumber-
some mode of electing their presidents.
The circumstances in which this plan
originated, if ever of controlling i'm
portaace, ought no longer to excuse such
u battling confusion Of ideas as grows
out Of the proposition that i'll a popular
government the peoples chief officer and
Their most direct representative may be
the recipient of their trust and the depos-
ition of their power in fragrant opposi-
ton to the declared popular will.
LONGER TERM NEEDED.
Strong arguments are from time 10
time urged in favor of a change in the
tenure Of the presidential Office This
should challenge sedUlous attention to
the end that the present constitutional
limit may be removed and more rea-
sOnable and useful one substituted.
There has been a continual increase in
federal legislation of a peremptory char
acter and related to the immediate and
routine necessities of the country, and so
1t has come to pass that of the four ses-
-SiOns of congress held during a preSiden.
tial term two are so brief as to scarcely
permit the passage of necessary apprOpri-
alton bills, while of the others, one oc-
ours when the president is usually
strange in his new office and burdened
with labOrs inseparable from d change
of administration and the remaining one
encounters during its continuance and
Interruptions, timidity and decentralization
of a presidential congressional canvass.
These conditions suggest the scant oppor-
tunity allowed for the initiation and
adoption Of new and important remedial
legislation during a single presidential
term.
BUSINESS DISTURBED.
Another argument of considerable
weight in favor of the change is b8seed
upon the complaint that the business and
other important interests Of our people
are now none too frequently disturbed
end disquieted by the turmoil and heat
o. a presidential election 1t Is not amiss
to add that a substatiaI extension Of the
executive tenure would pave the way
for establishing the ineligibility of an in
cUmbent to succeed himself, which has
long found favor with a large class OF
our people as q contamination much to
be desired.
THUS American citizens in the TWEEN
tieth century will be charged with the
duty of securing for themselves the ac-
tuaI substance Of popular rule by estab-
fishing a more direct mode Of selecting
the peoples chief executive in strict &C
cOrdance with the peoples will and by
so extending the tenure of his office as
to enable him to better serve his country
men and more thoroughly protect and
defend all their interests"
