WILL GRANT MORE TIME
Purchasers Of Leech Lake Lands
Needn't Be in a Hurry to
Cut Timber.

Washington Aug. Sit will mot be neces-
sary to petition Secretary Hitchcock for
an extension Of the time for cutting timber
on Leech Lake reservation. 1t was learned
to-day that the former action setting July
1, 1905, as the date for the removal of the
timber will be rescinded and the time ex--
tended, but how long is yet to be decided
upon. AS to the timber on farest reserves
en- the same reservation no action has been
taken, and none will be without further con-
ference between the secretary, Clifford Pin
chat chief of the bureau of forestry and
Land Commissioner Richards. Pinchat, it
was learned to-day, is pushing for an early
date for the removal of timber, because he
fears farest fires may run thru the woods
and destroy all the timber so that the effort
to put practical forestry in operation will be
futile Officials of the land office do not
share his fears, altho they appreciate the
fact that there is always danger of fire in
any large body of timber. The latter there
fore are willing to have the time limit for
clearing of timber from this land set for
such time as will enable lumbermen to estab-
fish mills. If such time is given it will un-
doubtedly result in getting a better price for
the timber and land office officials are
enxious to realize as much for the Indians
as possible and consistent with good adj
| ministration of the Morris act. The prob
ability that the estimate OF timber on both
the reserved and ,unreserved land is defective
| is admitted here and it would not surprise
| some officials If when the logs are measured
| there should be twice as much lumber cut
as Is indicated in the official records.

made without special preparation of any kind.

OUR SOCIALIST FRIENDS.

Some OF our socialist friends have
asked the editor OF the HERALD toexplaln
the article in the last issue OF the paper
upon the inutility OF socialist ticket
being nominated for the city elections.
An invitation to make the explanation
at their meeting Saturday evening was
accepted, but the stormy weather, and q
severe cold prevented the presence OF
the editor upon that occasion.
However, the article referred to was
go plain as to require small explanation.
1t simply doubted the wisdom OF the
contemplated action of the socialists, in
an endeavor to inject party politics into
an election in which there is no party
issue, and to attempt to hold body OF
we'll meaning men aloof from the real
interests of the city, by having them
cast their votes where they have no
possible hope OF success.
The only issue at the coming election
is the fitness OF the candidates, and their
views on matters political are OF no more
consequence than are their religious
opinions. The HERALD has no other Oh
ject in view than securing the best possi'
BILE management OF the city's affairs, and
cares not what the names or political
views OF the candidates may be. We
are boosting nobody for Office. and have
no axe to grind. and the remarks m de
concerning the socialist movement would
have applied with equal force had the
prohibition party made like attempt,
and the latter are numerically stronger
in this city than are the former. Drop
party politics. and attend the caucuses,
and help nominate the best men
available.
