Open Up New Township.

The Duluth land Office has received
the plats OF two new townships in north
ern Hasca county that will be thrown
open to settlement in about six weeks.
They are township SO, range % and
township SO. range %, and are about
10 miles southwest of Koocbiching, and
quite close to the line of the projected
railroad to run northeast from Be-
midi to Rainy Lake.
There is some good farming land in
both townships and in % there is quite
belt of pine, which, however, has
been squatted on for some time, al
though in some cases there is contlic-
ton with scrip applications. There is
considerable swamp land in both
tracts, the plat showing $500 acres in
% and 1920 in %. The soil is of fair
quality and the fact that the land is
near proposed railway will probably
cause quite demand when it is f.
nally thrown open to settlement.

While these men have placed the
time too short, yet by even doub.

we are slaughtering our timber
at a too rapid pace. Europe

PRESERVE THE PINE.

PRESERVE The PINE.
The Duluth News Tribune is
having lot of fun with itself by
claiming that the national park
scheme for Northern Minnesota
is plot of the Minneapolis lum,
bermen. This may be partially
true, but there are a lot of people
supporting the idea who are not
suffering with selfish motives.
This can hardly be said Of the
opponents Of the park.
Does the News Tribune at
tempt to make the public believe
that it is opposing the lumber in
terests? When at least 1900 OF
the population of Duluth is di-
rectly or indirectly supported by
the lumber business, can the T'ri-
bune be so untrue to it's people
as to oppose the park scheme be-
cause the lumbermen are cred
tied with it's authorship?
We favor the park on moder-
ate scale, as outlined by it's pro-
motors, because it will not only
benefit the lumbermen, but the
state and world as well. It will
benefit the lumbermen in assur-
ing them a lifelong job. 1t will
benefit the world, not only in the
perpetuation of the park as a
place of recreation, but in the
maintaining forever of a timber
supply. The park scheme car
ries with it provisions for scien-
titic forestry. The timber will
be cut as fastas the pine natures.
And the cut-over lands will be
Immediately replanted, to provide
timber for the future. We under
stand that it is not the intention
of the park promoters to include
agricultural land in the deal.
There are enough lakes, swamps
and barrens in this upper coun-
try to make up the required acre
age. There is no reason for this
howl Of shutting out would-be
settlers. (" ..@~ ..... ...

GRAFTON. Of white pine timber
alone there were taken from Min
nesota's forest alone, in 1890,
over S12, 100000. During the past
% years it has been estimated
that the white pine handled in
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Mich
igan represents a valuation Of
5000, 900, 900 while standing in the
forest before being touched by
labor. When the remaining tim
