PIONEER PRESS CLAIMS
STATE HAS BEEN BUNCOED
In the Matter Of Cash Sales of TimberThs Svstam of
Logging Is Likely to Be Stopped by the Timber
Board in the Near Future

The St. Paul PioneerPress has the
following to say relative to the
controversy caused by the refusal to
extend the time limit of permits for
cutting timber of state tands:
Minnesota has come to the
realization that she has been cheat
ing herself out of a good many
dollars through the cash sale of
timber tracts in the northern part
of the state, and in the future cash
sales of timber tracts by the state
in all probability will be tabooed.
Auditor Iverson has recommended
to the state timber board that the
cash sales be abolished, and it is
expected that the suggestion will be
followed.
The matter was taken up year
ago with the intention of dropping
the sales, but at that time it was
decided to try them another year.
According to the state law, all
tracts of land containing less than
100000 feet of timber were available
for cash sale.
Many tracts were surveyed and
found to contain less than the re-
quired amount, but in other cases
after the lands had been sold it was
discovered that more than 100000
feet of timber had been cut on them.
Permits for two logging seasons to
The Bemidji daily pioneer., 1908-06-05

the soil indicate what Minnesota
may accomplish by a publicity cam
paign. The North Star State has
great advantage over New York in
the quality of the land it has to offer.
This State is not seeking to get
settlers to build up land that has
been worn out. 1t offers the new
Corners soil that is second to none
and on terms that are attractive.
Minnesota has millions of acres that
may be converted into veritable gold
mines by intelligent and industrious
farmers, dairymen and stock raisers.
Even the most depsely settled dis
tricts are not yielding more than a
small fraction of the returns that
might be obtained. And there are
vast untouched acres in the central
and northern parts of the state that
hold out a golden opportunity to
every man with the foresight and
energy to take advantage of his
chance.
The publicity rallies such as have
been held in Bemidji, Bagley and at
other points in the state are efforts
along the right line. Let those in
each part of the state and all parts
boost. The people of Minnesota
know how rich the soil is. They
appreciate the healthful and invigor-
ating climate. All should join in
promoting every effort that is made
to let the rest of the world know of
our good fortune. The experience
of New York State demonstrates
that there are thousands looking for
a chance to make homes fnr-them-
selves on the land and that they
need only to have the opportunity
presented to them. If New York
could accomplish so great results
with pamphlet advertising it's
abandoned acres, what may not
Minnesota expect from vigorous
and systematic campaign for settlers?

SEVEN ''FAWNS'' WERE INITIATED

Seven new members were last
evening added to the already large
roster of Bemidji Lodge No. 1852,
B. P. O. E., and the meeting at
which the fawns'' were initiated
into the order was one of the largest
attended and most harmonious
gatherings of Elks ever held in this
city.
Word lhad been sent out in
advance that there would be con-
siderable doing" in the hall last
evening in connection with the
initiation, and the result was that
all Elks in this vicinity were expect
ant as to what would happen. Com
munications had been sent to Deer
River for the bunch there to bring
their two candidates, and Messrs, 1.

A PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN
GREAT BENEFIT TO STATE
Much Has Been Done in New York, Through Publicity
and Minnesota Offers Much Better Inducements for
Investments in Her Lands

St. Paul Pioneer Press: While
Minnesota is advertising to the
world its advantages and oppor-
tunities offered to settlers, it is
interesting to know what New
York State has accomplished
by similar campaign. The de-
partment of agriculture at Albany
issued bulletin telling of the aband-
oned farms in the Empire state and
the chance there is to improve them
and to make them sources of profit.
The department officials announce
that more than $2,OOO,OOO worth of
such acreage has been sold through
the department for nonresident
owners. These sales were made to
purchasers who had attention called
to the land by means of the bulletin.
The total does not take into account
the sales made by the owners of
farms and without the assistance
of the state department.
1t is explained that a very large
portion of those who purchased
abandoned farms were from the
West and men in the cities who plan
to move to the country. Many
from the West undoubtedly are
those who had gone from the East
and are now returning to their native
state for sentimental reasons.
They know the land and realize the
opportunities it offers if cultivated
according to the methods of modern
scientific agriculture. 1t is near to
market and can be made to yeild
profit to those who understand mod
ern intensified farming and are
willing to attend to business. It is
not claimed for the acres that they
are as fertile as those offered in Min
nesota, but that they can be made
to yield a good profit.
The results obtained in New York
State in its modest campaign to in
crease the number of those who till

cut the timber were given by the
state board which also had the
privilege of extending the permit
another year if for some reason the
purchasers had been unable to get
onto the land. In cases where the
cut had been made two years and
the land still contained uncut timber
the extensions were not granted.
Permits will probably not be
extended this year, and although
loggers are said to be protesting
against this ruling, they are not
entitled to an extension unless the
timber board sees fit to grant it.
The shutting down on the extern
sions is the result of discoveries by
timber cruisers that in many
instances more timber was taken
from cash sale tracts than was
embraced in the original estimate.
which was 100000 feet.
Referring to the matter yester-
day Auditor Iverson said:
For some time I have been
opposed to the cash sales of timber
tracts, and am confident the board
will so rule within a short time.
The board desires to be fair
to those who have invested money
in the lands, but where a cut has
been made two years extensions will
not be granted"

HILLMAN WOULD QUIT GUARD
TO RACE IN OLYMPIC GAMES

this law has been generally observed
in the past. The Guardsmen, too, with
the exception of the younger athletes,
will uphold Colonel Thurston. An Off
Ger is Obliged to maintain a certain
dignity, they say. and when a crack
athlete is given a commission he is
supposed to have finished his athletic
career.
There was talk of a compromise
among the men of the Thirteenth yes
terday. In view of Hillman's ambition
to take part in the Olympic meet it Is
thought Colonel Thurston and The
other officers in sympathy with MIN
might acquiesce in Hillman's continu-
ing to compete for a few months moro.
Colonel Thurston himself is a strong
supporter of athletics and did a great
deal to make the holding of games
popular and successful at the Twenty
second Regiment. When he was a
captain in the Twenty-second his COM
pany continually won the champion
snip trophy of the regiment, so his
censure of Hillman. his friends point
out, is not due to antagonism to ath-
letics in the Guard.

Mike Donlin, whom John McGraw

NEW YORK, Feb. eff Lieutenant
Harry Hillman, of the Thirteenth Regi-
ment, must give up athletics to retain
his commission in the National Guard
there is little doubt the great hurdlcr
will quit soldering, such is his love tor
active participation in sport. Hill
mans main reaso for continuing in
athletics is his laudable desire to COM
pete for America in the great Olympic
games in London next summer.
Hillman would say nothing yesterday
for publication concerning the censurc
he received at the hands of Colonel
H. B. Thurston. Hillman has the en-
thusiastic support of regimental ath-
letes, and should he be forced out of
the Guard the regiments are likely to
lose many good athletes who are also
good soldiers. The matter may even
widen the breach between the Military
Athletic League and the Amateur Ath-
letic Union.
There has long been an unwritten
law among the National Guardsmen
that when a man becomes an officer
