AN ARGUMENT FOR
THE FOREST RESERVE.
J. r. MORLEY'S REPLY TO A. L..
COLES LETTER.
Chairman of the Committee on For
estry and Fire Protection in the Last
Legislature Says Cass Lake Reserve
Should Be Made Most Popular Re
sort East of the Yellowstone Park.
To the Editor of The Journal.

To the Editor of The Journal.
Reading the statement of A. L. Cole
of Walker in regard to the forest reserve
situation tempts me to speak out what
observation has taught me since the ad-
1ournment of the last Legislature.
Now, taking Mr.. Cole at his own state
rnent, why should he favor the repeal of
the Morris act? At Cass Lake we have
within the borders of Minnesota a gov
eminent forest reserve, owned and sup
ported by the national government, as no
other state has-one of the natural
beauty spots of the world. The law per-
petuates this as forest reserve-the ripe
timber to be sold from time to time; al
ways leaving seed trees for the purpose
of demonstration. Ten sections around
Cass Lake, making ten miles Of shore
line, is according to the provisions of
the Morris act, to be left undisturbed
with the exception Of dead and down
timber. thereby preserving the natural
shore lines in all their. natural beauty.
The topography Of the reserve, at least
in and around Cass Lake, is perfect for
national park. This could be made the
most popular, resort east of the Yellow
stone park, easily accessible to the whole
Mississippi valley a..
cass Lakes Position.
I'D InlS reserve, Mr.. COie would throw
open to settlement. according to his
speech on the floor OF the house and
his principal argument was sympathy for
the city of Cass Lake, which was so uil-
z fortunately situated, surrounded by the
great 225, 000-acre government reserve.
The reply to this is that the most com
pact body of classified pine lands on
the, reservation and containing the lowest
percentage Of lands classed agricultural
lands is comprised in the townships
which border on Cass Lake and those
contiguous to them.
In the provisions Of the Morris act the
forester was allowed to select %. 900 acres
of agricultural lands to the end that
he might get the 225,o00 acres in com
pact body. 1t would have been impossible
for the forester to haze made this selec-
ton in any other part Of the reservation
and have the .tpine lands in anything

like a contiguous body Further north
and east the lands are mostly classified
as agricultural. Besides, if selected in
that locality, the reserve would have pro-
tected the head waters Of the Big Fork
river, a tributary of the Rainy river,
which runs into foreign country 1t
was created for the purpose partly of
protecting the head waters of the Mis-
sissippi river, and growing timber tribu-
tary thereto.
If the village Of Cass Lake would ac-
cept the situation as it u.s. and join hands
with the government in making the re-
serve a popular summer resort the profit
that would accrue to the people from
this source in the summer, together with
the systematic numbering now established
in the winter would be a more perma-
nent source Of revenue than to have the
land thrown open to settlement.
Its Value for Agriculture.
In my opinion there is very little if
any agricultural land in the reserve. The
so called agricultural lands as classed by
government survey, includes everything
that has no merchantable pine on it,
whether burns, barrens. muSkegS, swamp,
marshes or Doggy shores of lakes. Lands
which naturally grow Norway and jack
pine are not agricultural lands. The
writer secured samples OF the SOIL III a
drive of ten miles south of Cass Lake
village, and the nature of the soil is
nearly a pure sand and appears to be
almost worthless for agricultural pur-@
poses, and if the country were opened
for settlement, it would prove to be of
very little value and must sooner or later
be abandoned by the settlers. No agri-
cultural community can be permanently
successful on soil of pure sand or bog
or marsh In proof Of this, lands outside
Of and near the reserve are not being
settled. T~ '--s-s.- E - Il - -se
Mr.. Cole sayes in his article: Where
ever in the state there is deep. loose,
sandy soil, whether in the Indian reserva-
lions or out of them, that land should be-.
come a forest reserve That certainly
includes the forest reserve at Cass Lake,
Morris act stoutly maintained that they
were agricultural lands when the mem
orial to congress was being considered in
the last legislature .
Mr. Cole says: LET US bear in mind
that these lands belong to the Indians
and must be paid for The lands have
been ceded by the Indians. who are now
receiving (under the Morris act) far
greater pay for their timber than they
ever before experienced; and in due time
they will be paid by the United States
government for the land and seed trees

In the time OF the reign of Hadriau
about A. ID. 1870. u jew appeared among
the peopl OF Palestine claiming to be
messiah-the "star out of jacob
which Balaa predicted In his proph-
ecy. (See Numbers xiv. ID This
Jewish messiah S name was Simeon
Bar Cocheba. which latter name in the
Hebrew language means "son Of =
star" This individual who so blatant
ly proclaimed himself TO be of divine
origin took Jerusalem by storm ca. ID.
1872 and actually commenced the re-
building of the temple. He took the
government in hand and issued coins
and performed many other public Of
fees. One OF these coins. now in the
British museum, has an enlarged star
upon one sides and upon the other
Hebrew legend meaning The Deliver
Pr of Jerusalem" The Jews, IL Is said,
lost 100000 men defending this mes
siah at the time when the Roman gov
eminent attempted to put down the
popular deiusion. In Roman history
BarCocheba is known as "Coziba Of
Barchocheba" The enemies OF the
"son of star" changed his name to
"Bar-Cozeba." which in the Hebrew
means "son Of lie."
