THROUGH the kindness of the
Superior Forest officials, the MINER
is this week enabled to give its
readers an insight into the actual
objects of the reserve. 1t is well
come news to those who have filed
timber and stone and homestead
applications on lands embraced
within the reserve to learn that
they will not be molested or hamp-
cred with providing they live up to
the rules and regulations as pro-
vided by the service. Timber can
be cut, but the provision is made
that it be done on scientific princi-
pies which ultimately will insure a
supply for later generations. The
fire evil has been one of untold
damage and this alone will be
worth much to this country. While
the segregation of this land has re-
moved from public entry thousands
of acres of valuable timber lands
which could have been taken up
under the timber and stone act,
(the poor mans act) the benefits
will be derived later when the time
Der supply will have become scarce,
besides the new regulations on the
timber and stone act have given
the man with limited capital a
hard hit and made it practically
impossible for him to get a claim
and come out even.

THE southern Minnesota papers
are publishing the bare-faced lie
that their part of the state is paying
90 per cent more taxes than the
northern part. One of these is the
St. Peter Free Press, which, with
several others are weekly publish
ing such rot. A glance at the state
auditors report would set them
right but they will not be convinc-
ed. St. Peter is in the Third dis
trict and received from the state last
year S36,O31.62, more than they
paid in taxes. Does this indicate
the payment of 90 per cent more
taxes than the northeastern part of
the state with approximately the
same population which paid in
S755,4S6.4 40 more than was return
ed to it?

DASTARDLY ATTEMPT
TO WRECK VENGEANCE
SHIFT BOSS HOUSE BLASTED AT
ToRlN NINE
FOUR MEN ARE UNDER ARREST
Had Been Discharged the DAY Previous
and It's Alleged That They had
Made Threats.

The residence of Nick Phillips az the
Tobin mine was dynamited about 10 80
last Thursday night and the porch and
all of the clapboards on the front OF
the house torn off.
The explosives were placed under
the front corner OF the house below a
room in which Mr. Phillips frequently
slept 80 that the perpetrator of the
act knew of his habits and wanted 10
get" him particularly.
The house was set on posts and ele-
waited about two feet from the ground
which evidently accounts for the re.
stricted amount OF damage done.
Il happened that Mr.. Phillips did {
sleep lin the room that night 80 that
he escaped any personal injury. In
the house with him at the time Of the
explosion was mis- wife and several
children, all escaping unharmed.
Judging from the amount OF wreck
age and the distance TO which splinters
were thrown, it is evident that quite
an amount Of dynamit was used and
Phillips escape from injury was a
miracle.
-Four men were arrested on suspic-
ion Of being implicated in the at
tempt. all OF them having been dis
charged by Phillips because of infer
iority as workmen One OF them was
discharged Thursday and it is alleged
that he uttered threats against the
shift boss.
The county authorities are making
"a thorough investigation and some
interesting doings may follow.
