WEDNESDAY, JULY II, 1906.
BY AIKEN g. SCHMAHL.

1t may be little late, but yet the
fact must not be overlooked that
Senator w. w. Sivright presided
over the Duluth convention with
frmness and fairness. Senator Siv-
right would not permit any attempt
to stampede for any candidate by
the means generally used, and when
a roll call was once finished he would
promptly declare the vote closed
and when announced a new ballot
would be commenced quickly, or
the first ballot on the next nominal
ton. Mr.. Sivright's handling of the
convention did much to bring back
the best of feeling between the
factions of two years ago.

the Hon. A. L. Cole, Republican
candidate for governor, at the Glen

sisted Pof Is courses, the day of the

mated being the foundation for the
number of courses. An Indian
translator remarked that Walker
citizens certainly outdid themselves
in thefspread. There were nine
toasts, Mr.. Cole speaking on "Our
Present Needs" his talk being along
the line of inducing present resi-
dents of Minnesota to remain in the
state, with the view of increasing
present land values and causing
general betterment in business and
farming conditions. Mr.. Coles con-
sistent work in the legislature has
been along that line and it will
certainly appeal to Minnesota voters
who have the interests of the state
at heart.

The Importance of the Appalachian
forest cover to the cotton milling in
dustry alone, in the Piedmont regions
of North Carolina, South Carolina AMI
Georgia is shown by the statistics of
the mills operated by the water power
derived from the streams having their
sources in these mountains. In these
three states there are 1913 mills SO
operated, with combined capital stock
of 100000. with 2,770,000 spindles
and 50,926 looms and giving work to
over $4,000 employees. The total an
nual production of these mills is ap-
proximately $G4,000,000
Virginia has interests also, which
are not included in the above figures,
as have also Tennessee and Kentucky,
on the western side of the mountains.
A National forest reserve in the
White Mountains of New Hampshire is
also a matter of general concern and
vital to the well being of the industries
of all New England. We are upon the
threshold of great industrial competi-

world; to maintain our supremacy we
must retain our hold upon our cheap
water power, which, through electrical
invention is being utilized as never be
fore and greatly aiding to our national
prosperity.
The creation of the Appalachian and
White Mountain Forest Reserves can

is an interstate and therefore ma

with a special message recommending
the repeal of the Timber and stone
Act and the substitution of rational

amendment of the Communication clause
of the Homestead Act and a like

the latter named laws, amounting TO
their practical repeal
TINS provisions of this report are
highly satisfactory to the Forestry and
Irrigation Committee of the National

their enactment into law, strictly en-
forced, would do away with land and

up of lordly landed estates in the West

acres in single ownerships, instead of
providing for the creating Of thousands
of small rural homes-in short in the
mismanagement and waste of the
greatest resource ever possessed by any
nation on earth.
The attention of our lawmakers In
Congress should be urgently called to
the fact that while they are attempting
economy in the expenditure of money,
they are allowing laws to remain in

valuable asset of the nation is being
recklessly wasted.

Of In the last five years, and at only
SIS per acre, the government has, in
that time, parted with the title of land
worth $117,746,5O The price received
for this land has been at the uniform
rate of $3.50 per acre, or $11,774,650,
q loss to the government of over $780,

Recommendation of the President and
his Public Lands Commission for the re-
peal Of this Timber and Stone Act and
the substitution of a rational forest
policy, by which the title to the public
timber lands shall remain forever in
the government, the stumpage only to
be disposed of, at its market value.
Under such plan as this, and under
an agreement whereby one half the
proceeds could be devoted to the For
estry Service and the other half to
the Irrigation Fund, two policies of
great internal improvement and I'M
portance could be generously main
tanned while at the same time the
forestry question would be TO great
extent solved, public forest lands being
numbered in such manner as to pre-
serve the young growth and leave the
forest as a perpetual source of income
to the nation and at the same time
conserve the water supply.
