One, Way of Looking at It.

ut would be good speculation for
a man to: buy big tract of Northern:
Minnesota land that is covered with
timber and hold onto it until he could
realize a good price for the wood on it,"
the Duluth Herald quotes l.. o. Pease.
of Cass Lake, as saying. "A time will
come when good wood will not be so
common in this part of the country az
it is now, and a person with some OF it
on hand will be in position to make a
few dollars.
Gail over Northern Minnesota there is
plenty Of good stove wood. Jack pine
makes pretty good stuff for fire, but
tamarack and birch are better. These
bring high prices for other purposes,
however,. except for the smaller treee.
Tamarack is used largely by the rail-
roads for piling in. bridge construction,
aud for like construction work. Birch
lumber, OF course, oommsnds good
price. Jack pine isn't much good for
anything but wood, although the: larger
trees are now being manufactured: into
lumber: >$. = 49,. -. -.
"Wood brings a better price in Du.
|>luth, now, I imagine; than It did few
years back, when there was no money in
it for tho: farmer and settler to put in
his spare time cuttin9 it and hauling IL
to market Some make it business to
ship it by cars to the larger: MARKETS.
That Is all right it they can find =
suitable man at the other end OF the
line to look after their interest: .<.=~-.z
I "The beauty OF. Northern Minnesota
farming lands. pnch Of it st least, is
that it is covered with timber, and as the
land is prepared for cultivation the trees
may be cut into wood and sold at q
profit. The prospective settlers do not
altogether seem TO appreciate this fact,
They think merely of the work it will be
to clear away, the timber, and do moi
figure upon the profit that will accrue

Crop Bulletin.

The week ending Monday morn
ing, April 30, brought five days of
fair weather, with temperature above
normal, which were followed by two
cool and cloudy days and we'll dis
tributed showers. The rainfall was
timely and very beneficial to pas
lures, meadows, wheat, oats, barley
and garden truck, and it also
served a good purpose in prevent
ing baking and encrusting the pre-
viously saturated soil.
Reports indicate that good prog
ress has been made in preparation
of soil for planting corn, and it is
probable that much more than the
usual area is now ready for the
planter as compared with previous
years at this date. If conditions are
favorable a large part of the corn
acreage will be planted the first dec
ade in May. termination of small
grain has been quite satisfactory
and the fields generally show good
stand. Early varieties of fruits show
abundant bloom. The pastures are
mostly in condition to afford forage
for the herds. Though the season is
little late the general outlook is
encouraging.

lures and the floor work. tit safe
to say that none Of tho hundreds
who attended last evening ever saw
anything finer. At the conclusion
