SEEKS A FORESTRY
PLEDGE OF .SOLONS.
GENERAL @. G. ANDREWS SEES
NEED OF PROMPT ACTION.
State Forestry Commission Would Have
Newly Elected Members of Mime
sofa Legislature Bound to Aid in
Reserve Work, to Preserve Pine and
Other Trees. &G%,-5

General G. G.. Andrews, Minnesota
forestry commissioner, asks that mem
bers Of the next legislature be pledged
to forestry. He says:
-. About all of the original pine in
Minnesota will be cut in the next ten
years, after which we shall be depend
ent for lumber on the Pacific coast.
While, if fires are prevented, the great
er part OF cut-over pine land becomes
naturally reforested with various kinds
Of trees, yet only about 20 per cent Of
it becomes naturally well stocked with
pine. Nature must be aided by plant
ing; .sA.- -
especially where pine was mixed with
hardwood, will be used for agriculture;
but there. are in scattered localities
land which should be devoted to for
estry. On such waste. land it requires,
on an average, about eighty years for
pine to grow to nerchantable size.
Some Of this land still belongs to the
United States, but would probably be
granted to the state by congress for
forestry, # f., our people made an earnest

be purchased at a. low price. '>i~11:::<.

"Sickness has been prevalent, and we
have had many cases to look after.
Already the number Of families dealt
with this month number more than 800.
Of these, there are twenty-five in which
there is no able bodied man, which have
to receive continuous relief. The de-
1nand for laborers in the harvest fields,
which offers relief to some classes OF
the poor, is of no help here. We have
not had a single able-bodied man in
our office for three months. Those I'M
der our care are not able to work and
cannot share in the general prosperity.
"On the other hand, those who con-

for other worthy enterprises. The San

and the building of several new church

BUILDING / RECORD ! { R.
MORE THAN "a MILLION AND A
HALF IN PERMITS
Ordinarily Dull Month, July Of 1906
Shows UP with Phenomenal Total
and the Two Good Days to Come Are
Expected to Swell the Totals.

Minneapolis will have a phenomenal
building record for. the month Of July.
Ordinarily July is dull month in the
promotion of new building ventures,
but the present month is one of the
best in the history of the city.
The permits up. to last night ag-
gregated $l,54l 1885 with two good days
to hear from. Such records at this time
Of year are wholly unprecedented and
the building inspectors force is more
than dazed with the amount of new
work piled upon them. *
An indication of what the record
means is shown by the fact that the
biggest previous July was in 1890 when
the total permits were $S93,000.
~ he a,o total cost Of new buildings fey
aggregate more than $5,7OO,000.

state development for which he stands,
and which he will emphasize during his

ing Of the greater enterprise OF the
Pacific coast states in this particular,
Mr.. Cole said today:
What California Has Done.
"In the past twenty years Califor-
MIA and the Pacific coast states have
probably received more generous and
systematic advertising than any part
of the United States-perhaps of the
entire world. The effects Of that ad-
vertising are striking. During large
part Of that time that section has been

impossible, to secure employment. Many

the money he had saved in yainly seek.

back home penniless. All this time
there has been in Minnesota an unsup-
piled demand for farm help at remuner-
ative wages. ...'f.
Elm every movement to new .coun-
try the laboring men are the first to 60.
The next to leave are men who rent
farms; the last those who have to sell
their belongings before they can take
their departure. Not only farmers and
farm laborers, but men from every walk
in life and every calling have been IN
duced to take; up their residence in the
coast states. 1t is not only that we

true Of almost every state in the union,
and Of many European countries whose
people have gone to swell the popula-
ton beyond the Rockies.
Advertising Has Paid.
"Who shall say that there has not
been an ample return for all the adyer,,
Using of that country, for every effort
put forth and every dollar expended in
exploiting it's resources. Not only have
the terminal and coast cities been bene-
flied, but every inland city and vii:

very well be asked now whether the
time has not arrived when Minnesota
should awaken to the importance
Of the benefits to be derived by
increasing our population: While

in others there is not a section of the
state in which the advantage of in
creased immigration will not repay
