VALUABLE LAND.

Forest Reserve.

The announcement made that only
such homesteaders as can prove actual
residence on the land prior to June
30. 1902, will be allowed to make entry
on claims in township GILL because
or its having been withdrawn from
entry for forest reserve purposes, has
aroused. in the northern part of Min
nesota the old feeling of resentment
against the government for taking
nearly 500, 900 acres of land from the
public domain as proposed forest
reserve, says the Herald.
ut appears to- me highly absurd
that this vast tract should be set
aside for experimental purposes, /"
said one OF the men connected with
the Duluth land office. "a very large
part of this land is doubtless valuable
for agricultural purposes, despite any
reports which may have been made to
the contrary by the few men who are
back of the project to have it made
into forestry reserve. L believe it
is too early in the game to Withhold SO
large an area of land for the purpose
stated"

very MANY applications for entry. 1t

section requires that final proof of
settlement and cultivation be made
Within three years after the expira-

Within thirty days from the date of

OF the land office in his district and
show cause why his claim to the
land shall not be declared forfeited
and his entry cancelled. He is thus

of the three years mentioned above,

The indictment, which was found by

conspired to defraud by procuring ad

Talks Of Public Opinion.

Mr.. Beck's speech was as follows:
There is a supervision Of insurance
more potent than that of the state or
federal laws. 1t is the supervision Of
public opinion. OF all institutions the
insurance company most depends upon
public sentiment for its very existence.
We must not mistake, however, the
often unjust expressions OF the moment
for the final judgment of this great
court Of last resort, nor confuse the
excited expressions Of individuals
with the final voice Of the people.
Swayed by momentary passion public
opinion often is for time at fault.

The investigation now in progress
will be of great value In developing the

own witnesses and offer additional
evidence. The committee will base its
final judgment upon such testimony
as its own counsel may produce. And
Its high purposes are therefore nell
tralized by its self.imposed limitations.
This may have been necessary, but to
put men of unblemished reputation
upon trial at the great bar Of public
opinion without the fullest opportun'
ity to make defense is hardly consist
ent with the spirit Of our free insti
tutions.
Time sets all things even, and not
withstanding this obvious drawback
and the temporary damage done to the
companies, and above all to the policy
holders, the pending investigation will
result In good. II has interested, as no
