How to Build a Town.

A city will not build itself. It
must be built by men, and those
men generally must be the men
who live in the city, says the
Devils Lake Free Press. They
must do their building by work
ing together-co-operation. One
man may build city if the rest
will only help little, but no man
is big enough to do this when
the rest are working against
him. You may have your own
ideas, and your neighbor has his.
No one idea is perfect; no single
idea is the "only thing" There
is only one "only thing" and
that is unity Of action. What
ever plan is proposed, unity of
action will make it a success.
To illustrate this, in a certain
town there was a proposition to
get manufacturing plant. It
was estimated it would take $500
to promote the deal, and even
then there was doubt of landing
it. One business man in partic.
ular was very much of a doubt,
er.
A meeting was held to discuss
the matter, and this particular
business man opposed spending
the money for that purpose.
They voted against his ideas,
and to assess each one $25 tc
raise the fund. When the vote
was announced, he said: Gen.
tlemen, you have voted against
my personal ideas in this matter,
but I am with you. Now as I
have rather more property than
any enc else that will be benefit
ted if this move is a success, l
want you to make my assess
ment $50 instead of S25. My
personal opinion is that this is too
much of an enterprise for a town
of this size to expect, but I can t
afford to let my personal ideas
stand in the way of united ac-
tion, and I want every man to
get out of this meeting and say
to the world that the action we
haye taken here today was unan'
imous."
That man had the right idea.
He was willing to waive his per
sonal opinion for unanimous ac'
tion to help the city.
No matter how hard few citi
zens may work to improve the
city and build it up, no matter
how large a fund they have to

IMPORTANCE or IIZNNESO7A'S
NAIIONAL.FORESI RESERVE
Wdom of Its Selection Defended More Experiment n For
estry Contemplated Especially We'll Adabted
to he G0yernn,ents Purpose.
By Eugene s. Bruce, Inspector Unite,

By Eugene s. Bruce, Inspector United
States Forest Service.
In view of the many misleading
statements that have been published
with the express object of influencing
public sentiment against the Mime:
lowing facts may interest those who
want to know the real situation re-
gardlng this reserve and the steps
taken in It's formation.
The Morris amendment to the Mel
son bill provided that the forester of
the department of agriculture should
select 100000 acres classified as "pine
by the secretary Of the interior from
certain described coded Indian lands.
In classifying the Indian lands only
two kinds were allowed to be recog-
nized: "Pine lands,' those upon
which there was merchahtable pine
timber. and "agrieultural lands, -
which included all other lands, wheth-
er burns, barrens. muskegs, sWamps,
marshes, or Doggy shores of lakes;
900 acres sne ' elassi H 'a as gricuIturai
were to be included with the 100000,
which at the time the act was passed
was thought would be ample to consoli-
date the area selected. The fact that
there were only two kinds Of land to
be distinguished, accounts for the large
greater part of which is absolutely
Worthless for agricultural purposes.
At the time Of the passage Of the
t. Morris bill there were no maps avail
able which showed the Indian allot
ments, agricultural and 'pine
lands;' in fact, large portion of the
Indian reservations was not classified
at the time, which explains why there
was no way of knowing lust how much
land other than pine land would have
to be included to consolidate the area
selected.
The very apparent intention of the
legislators was to allow sufficient
amount Of lands classified as "agricul
tural' to be included to make the
area selected for the Minnesota ma
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1905-06-03

tional forest reserve one solid, COM
pact body. The system of classical
ton, however, made it impossible to
consolidate the area with only. .25,000
acres of so-called agricultural land,
the amount specified in the Morris bill.
Why Cass Lake Lands Were Selected.
It has been charged that the selec-
tion Of that portion of the reserve in
the vicinity Of the village of Cass Lake
was an injury to the inha bitants. The
obvious reply is, that the most COM
pact body Of classified "pine lands'
on the reservation, and containing the
lowest percentage of lands classed as
agricultural, is comprised in the
and those contiguous to them.
Moreover, if these townships, which
were almost entirely classified as ''pine
land" had been excluded, it would
have been impossible for the forester
to comply with the provisions Of the
Morris bill, and select 900 acres of
.'pine lands' in anything approach
ing a contiguous area, or with any pos
sibility of consolidating the reserve in
and administered properly and econo-
mically. The first selection for the re.
serve contains the largest acreage of
compact "pine lands . and the small
est percentage Of lands classified as
agricultural, Of any area of equal
size which could have been selected in
these Indian reservations.
1t has been stated that there are
other locations on these reservations
which could as well have been selected
which would have served the purpose
of a reserve just as we'll. The facts
justify no such statement. Had it beer
possible to select the territory further
north and east, which it was not, since
the greater part of those lands were
classified as agricultural, the result
would have been to, protect the head
tary of the Rainy river, which runs int
foreign country. This would not hav'
served the purpose for which the reserve
was created, which is to protect tn

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful It Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient dis
infectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose:
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
Che stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and I'M
teeth and further acts as natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison Of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
