TIMBER AND STONE LAW
w. E. Culkin Says the Law is One
of the Best.

William Z. Culkin, the retiring reg
lister of the Duluth land Office, is
much interested in the attempts now
being made to have congress repeal
the timber and stone law, says the
Duluth Herald. Mr.. Culkin is against
the proposed repeal and believes ac-
Lion should be taken at once by the
people Of this part Of the country to
check any such attempt. Mr.. Gull
kin has been for eight years in a
position to observe the operation OF
This law clasely aud as he Is generally
admitted to be an authority on land
matters, the following statement
made by him will doubtless bear
weight:
"Steps should be taken by the
people Of Northern Minnesota to i'm
press on the minds OF their represeu-
LatiYes in both houses OF congress the
fact the repeal the timber and stone
law is not desired by the people Of
this section. 1t is one of the most
meritorious land laws on the statute
books and its repeal. if it occurs will
be a blow TO the development Of this
pal of the state.
at is essentially poor mans law
aud gives the Northern pioneer
chance to get on in the world, being
one small recompense TO him for his
work in developing new country.
Any one who investigates the matter
will find that the law is being taken
advantage Of, not by the dishonest,
out in fact by the best class of our
people Farmers, mechanics, bust
ness men, editors, bankers. clergymen
and people Of other worthy callings
invest their savings in land under
This law and at once begin TO pay
taxes on the land they buy.
ut Is true that there has been
fraud under this law. but that is true
OF every other law that l eyer heard
Of. The fact remains, however, that
as the timber and stone law is now
administered, fraud has been almost
entirely eliminated Such fraud as
may be found is merely sporadic, not
general. Fraud arises not from bad
laws, but from lax or corrupt ad-
Illustration.
No one as yet, has advanced even
plausible reason why this benificent
statute should be repealed. One idea
advanced is that the lands should be
reserved for homesteaders. But some
of our land is Of such character that
it is not taken as homesteads. Our
best lands are now homesteaded
"Why segregate 100000 or more
acres of government land to be added
TO the gloomy unproductive wastes
now held by the state? Why not get
these lands on the tax rolls to aid in
upbuilding the northern counties?
ut is true that spectators in scrip
would benefit by the repeal. Ger
tainly these spectators who usually
get something for nothing from the
government are not its favorites. At
the same time they are the only ones
who would reap profit from the re-
peal. 1t would be a wrong to the
people and to the towns, villages,
school districts, and counties of this
northern country. the very interests
which the proposed repeal Is mis-
takenly supposed to serve"

ings and other reminders Of the days
of Montezuma, Cortez and others of
those times. He says the buildings
are all in excellent condition and most
attractive from every point of view.
He says the weather was charming, the
balmy air being filled with the frag-
rance of roses and all sorts of flowers
and orange blossoms. Much Ameri-
can capital is going into that country
the cities are being rapidly American
lied or modernized. He thinks the
mining, commercial and industrial
possibilities of that country are wonder
full. There is much railroad building
going on and the Kansas City, Mexico
and Orient R'y Co., whose guest the
doctor was, together with about eighty
other gentlemen from the United
States, is building through line from
Kansas City to the coast, through old
Mexico, which it is claimed will be
about 800 miles shorter than any other
railway to the coast from the Missouri
river. The whole journey, in whict
they visited many portions of Mexico
was delight and an inspiring revela
ton, which the doctor says he woule
prefer to trip abroad.

The Halter.

The man who hates is a miserable
creature. It doesn't injure the object
of it, but it does react upon the hater
with deadening effect. The hater is
surly and bitter. He can never see
anything good in the object Of his
conjured wrath. His i'll temper is dis
played when radiance and sunshine
should glow. Thus the good cheer of
life, the hearty cooperation with
others, the entente cordiale of friend
ship, are marred. The hater should
rise above it. He should put it aside,
for it is an unworthy thing and feeds
upon itself. 1t produces gruf and
ugly old age. The hater cannot walk
down the shady slope with joy or
comfort either to himself OF those
about him. He is Pariah. He sours
the milk of human kindness. He can
rise above his besetting sin by resolute
and repeated action. It will pay him
to do it. 1t will lift the ban upon
others and fill his own heart with
'song.-Fremont Tribune.

Important Fact on Alfalfa Sowing.

EDITOR TAR-Farmers contemplating
sowing alfalfa this spring should write
for Farmers Bulletin No. 214, entitled,
"Beneticial Bacteria for Legnminous"
crops and get in time the pure culture
of bacteria from the Department of
Agriculture to treat the seed before
sowing.
1t has been shown without doubt
that inocu.ating the seed is the easiest
way to inoculate the soil and thereby
doubling even trebling the crop.
The Department of Agriculture is
sending out for the asking enough
culture to treat two bushels of any
legumion seed, and charges small
price when more is wanted
Send for the bulletin at once, read
it, then you will want the culture | am

wiped out in Fall River county. ex.
cepting in the extreme southern part
where considerable....sc ..scab seemed to
yet exist, but he hoped by energetic
and active cooperation with stockmen
down that way to get rid of it this
spring. He says there are nine dip
ping watts in the county and there is no
reason for anybody's cattle not being
dipped.
He says the only dip that is reconiz-
ed by the government is the sulphur
dip. Mr.. West is thoroughly awake
to the fact that the scab must be kill
ed out and proposes to be attentive
and energetic to that end
Mr.. Wyatt read extracts from the
law relative to dipping and letters re-
ceived by Mr.. West from authorities
in charge of the matter in this state
