CLUB ACTS ON
AUTO SPEEDING
Notices Sent Out ia Move to
Halt Reckless Motor
Car Driving.

That the officers of the New Jersey
Automobile and Motor Club mean what
they said when it was announced that
they would endeavor to put an end to
reckless driving on the road and to
place a ban pom the speed evil, was
evidenced this week when the follow
ing rcula letter was sent out by the
club to all its members:
Your board of trustees feel tina during
the past fiscal year much has been accom-
plished for the good of the user of the auto
mobile and We are proud of the part that
the New Jersey Automobile and Motor Club
has had and the results obtained by those
members who have given their tiale and
lieve that every member of our club must
and does join with US in the sentiments ex-
pressed above. While several long steps
forward have been taken, there remains
much to be done and your officers feel
that the usefulness of our organization can
be greatly increased by the more active CO.
operation of all its members, and to that
end your attention Is directed to the fol-
lowing:
Public sentiment has changed somewhat
toward the automobile and the automobile
owner, but one reckless drive can. and
does, more harm in this respect than one

If we are to have public sentiment with
us, and it is a fact that we must have this

giving thorough compliance to the law, to
the end that wherever our flag be seen IT
may be recognized as a symbol of a safe

AS we nave been active in the past for
the protection of motorists, and as this ac-
tivity will in no way be lessened, so we also
desire to exert our influence for the pro-

SAYS STATE LAND DEPT.
PERSECUTES SETTLERS
One of the Homesteaders Gives the Settlers
Side of the ''Swamp.Land" Contests Between
Settlers and Government

Of late, many settlers who live in
Koochiching county have been
made defendants in contests wherein
is evolved the controversy as to
what constitutes swamp lands" un-
der the ruling whereby the State of
Minnesota has acquired several
thousand acres of lands from the
government under the swamp
land" grant.
Much bitterness has been en-
gendered by contests and but little
publicity has been given to the
settlers side of the question.
In a letter from Big Falls, one of
the most prominent settlers in the
section affected by the so-called
swamp land" ruling, writes to A.
G. Rutledge of this city, as follows:
Noticing the sound position you
have taken a number of times on the
state land question, and believing
the time is opportune for doing
valiant service for the state in gener-
al, and the nothern part in particu-
lar, I take this opportunity to-
acquaint you with a few facts.
For several years many settlers
through this section have been liv-
ing or squatting on wild lands, for
the most part, supposed to be govern
ment lands.
The lands were chosen, as a rule,
by. one of two methods:
In the first place, according to
the best judgment of the squatter,
and his neighbors, perhaps, as to the
land being classed as high.
The second, the surveyors or
-aovcrnment-plat was obtained in
some way, and the land designated
on that as high was chosen, if it
was really dry enough so that a
man could live there and make farm
of it.
1T was found that one method
was as safe as the other-to keep
off of land which the state might
lay claim to.
1t is fact which everyone con-
versant with the situation knows,
that the survey cannot be relied on
to indicate what is high or dry land
and what's swamp land. The very
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1909-09-15

nature or manner of the survey
makes it so.
There have been instances where
it was proven that quite an eleva-
ton, or hill existed, that was desig-
mated swamp. There are also in
stances where high or dry land was
indicated, and a swamp was found.
You will find exemplifcation of
these facts in Town 67-25, Section
], or Town 1926, Section IL, and
many others can be given if de-
sired.
The difficulty did not seem so
apparent until the townships were
opened and the settlers began to file,
or attempt to file, homesteads on
these lands. To their chagrin and
surprise, it was found that fully
three-fourths of the filings were held
up because one forty or an eighty,
or the whole quarter maybe, was
claimed by the state as swamp
land.
The question would seem to rise
at once, what does a settler want
with swamp? But the real ques-
ton, however, is, what does the state
want with high land, where the
settler is endeavoring to make
home?
Once the settler was in this
dilema, either he or she must lose
their time and improvements and
leave the land to the state, or stand
the expense of suit with the state
to determine whether they or the
state were entitled to hold the lands.
1t is not to the credit of the state
land department that as many settlers
| staid in the country affected to fight
! it out as did, but to the excellent
country and rich lands involved.
"A great many did leave, however
some returned to their old homes,
but most went into Canada, where
there are no state officials to contest
a mans endeavor: to get a home.
AT the time of the filing on these
lands, there was much talk of organ
izing among the settlers in such a
wayas tofght these contests, collect
lively, for it was felt that the concern
