COLONIZATION OF
NORTHERN MINN.
Interesting Data Cleaned from
Records of Duluth Land Office.
I,326,309 Acres Disposed OF.

If anyone is inclined to be skep-
tical as to the ultimate settlement
of the tangled wilderness OF
Northern Minnesota, glance OF
the records of the United States
land office at Duluth for ten
months of last year may trans
mute that feeling into one of OPP
tlmism.
This district comprises the
Counties Of st. Louis, Itasca,
Cook, Lake, Carlton and a small
part of Aitkin, and in the period
between .Jan.1 and n ov. |, 1896
800 acres were taken through
homestead rights or purchased Of
the government under the timber
and stone act, and the great bulk
of it is in the two Counties Of
Itasca and ST. Louis.
Z { u /, ( srf2 E
Of course. everybody knows
that this vast area is not all
taken for settlement, but in fact
the largest proportion is desired
solely for it's timber. But de-
|ducting reasonable amount Of
this latter from consideration, it
still leaves a good many thousand
acres Of land acquired solely for
agricultural purposes and the es-
Establishment of homes.
Of The total Of 326,309 acres
taken, II, ,621.56 were timber and
stone entries or commuted home.
steads. It is fair to assume that
practically all Of that was taken
for timber alone.

road lines he's made Itasca county
an eager field for landseekers.
Beltrami county, Of which Crooks
ton is the land Office. has been
more in advance Of it's eastern
neighbor, being more accessible.
1t is a known fact that Northern
Minnesota is being settled east
ward. Western Beltrami is far
more advanced agriculturally than
It's eastern portion. But the
Ihomesteads have been SO well
picked over that today there is no
great number left south Of the
Red lake.
Along the Minnesota \ Inter.
national railroad in this county
but few scattered homesteads
are left for entry. The road pur-
sues a northeasterly direction, and
most Of the land has been taken
up along its survey clear to the
Canadian boundary. A great deal
is taken for its timber, but there
is also great many settlers who
are building permanent homes and
starting new villages.
The continuation of the Virginia
& Rainy Lake River road next
summer will doubtless have a
somewhat similar effect in North
ern st. Louis county, and there
may be the usual rush for town
sites.

luth land office by months during
the year is classified as follows:

GOOD STOCK
COUNTRY
Professor Shaw Has an Excellent
Opinion Of Northern
Minnesota.

Concerning this country for gen.
eral farming, Professor Thomas
Shaw says he is glad to draw at
tention to the high value gener-
ally Of much undervalued por-
ton Of the state. He says: IL
have noticed that whenever hard
wood timber is found the land has
fine adaptation to the produc-
tion Of clovers, grasses and all
kinds of small grains. By hard
wood lands is meant lands which
produce birch. oak. maple, bass
wood and poplar. Wherever these
lands occur in Minnesota and
N North west Wisconsin, no sooner
is the forest cut away than white
clover and blue grass take pos
session of the soil. These come
in spontaneously and grow rank
and strong. And when those up.
lands are broken up they grow
heavy crops of oats, barley, rye,
peas, fax and potatoes, field roots
and corn. 1t may not be correct
to say that this region is corn
country in the sense that South
ern Minnesota is, but it will grow
magnificent crops of it adapted to
feeding stock. have no hesita-
tion in saying that as much food
per acre for feeding cattle and
sheep, but not swine, may be OBJ
tanned as can be in the southern
counties Of the state, but net in
the same form. More of it will be
as fodder and less as grain. But
this does not mean that good ma
tured corn cannot be grown. 1t
is apparent, therefore, that this
| is an ideal stock country. For
grazing it is ahead Of South and
West Minnesota, except it's grow
ing season is shorter. 1t is an
ideal country for dairying and
growing swine, since the two go
hand in hand. What it lacks for
this purpose in corn production is
made up in the grains and roots
previously named. The abundance
land succulence of the pastures
adapt it admirably to sheep hus-
bandry. 1t is also an ideal coun-
| try for beef, for when cattle are
being fattened if fed on good
clover hay they will finish equally
well on from one.half to three.
quarters Of the ration Of grain
used with corn fodder. ] have
frequently thought for reasons
that have led settlers to pass this
country by when in search Of a
location. The tide of emigration
has gone west, rather than north,
and seems to have. sought the
prairies rather than the forest, or
semi.forest country, and my solu-
tion ID that the average landseeker
has Stunned land that has been
denuded Of timber. The prefer.
ence has been given to prairies
from which the settler could get
some returns in the next year.
The fact has not been duly weighed
as to the great advantages such a
forest country as that now being
considered has over the treeless
prairie for stock production. It's
grasses are much more luxuriant.
It's crop production is more varied.
II furnishes timber for buildings
and fences. If iudiciously cleared,
the portion Of the forest uncut
may be turned into windbreak.
Abundant shade may be furnished
in every field, and wood may be
on hand for generations in coun-
