VIRGINIA SKI CLUB ORGANIZES.
viii Build Slide and Club House at
iron Hit, North OF City, Highest
P0iat IN State.

The Virginia Ski Club is new
organization formed for the pro-
motion of winter sport, and has
been formally organized by the
election of ]. r. Krogdahl as presi-
dent and Ben Monger as secretary.
The Club at this time has some
twenty-five members, but it is con-
fideutly expected this number will
be greatly increased. the seasons
fees being placed at the nominal
sum of $500.
The Club arranges for the erec-
ton of slide at Iron Hill, some
three miles north of the city, the
highest point in the state of Mimi
esota, an amount Of work having
already been done. The next move
will be the erection of a comfort.
able Club House for the accommo-
dation Of members and visitors.
A good road leads to the site, and it
is anticipated that many who do not
actively participate in the health.
full sport will be numbered among
spectators at many of the prom
ised events of the season.

WY SEJTlERS 90 NOT STICK.
Reasons for Abaodoament of Load
After final Proof Is Made on
fntrsAa.

Responsive to a report made to
State Auditor Iverson by Hon. w.
+. Culkin, of Duluth, at one time
register of the Duluth Land Office,
in which he makes the assertion
that very high percentage of the
settlers on state lands are not bona
fide settlers but simply stick to the
land long enough to prove up and
dispose of the timber and then
abandon the claims, the Inter
national Falls Press gives Mr..
Culkiu a tip which might be ad-
vantageously considered and acted
upon by the state, in the following:
1--WE will grant that Mr.. Culkin is
correct in his assertion that a very
large percentage of the settlers
have abandoned their lands, or will
abandon them as soon as they
prove up. We will also grant that
in come caeee uon-residents have
pretended to comply with the law
technically in order to get valuable
timber. The real cause of aban.
doumeut in most cases, however, is
because the lands in question are
surrounded by state lands which
are held for speculation and for the
benefit of lumber companies. For
the honest homesteader to stick to
his land, improve it, build roads
through miles and miles of state
land for an outlet to market, to
bear the burden of taxation for
township, county, school and state
revenue aud Improvements is more
of task than he cares to tackle.
He obtains title to his land and
moves away with the hope that
conditions will change; that the
state some day will see the injustice
of present methods employed in its
land policy and offer it's holdings
to actual settlers, and when this
time comes, if it ever does, he will
return and assist these settlers on
state lands in the work of building
roads, improving the country and
building homes.
1T is right to protect the states
interest, but it is wrong to employ
methods which work to the detri-
ment of the few hardy pioneers of
northern Minnesota

show much talent in their little
playlet> which was highly accepted
