Exaggerated Notions.

After long Indifference on the part of
the people as TO the public domain he
declared, "a deep concern has suddenly
arisen respecting the remnant Of the ma
uonal estate. with a wholly exaggerated
notion of what should be done with it by
the government. There is much talk
about the conservation of our national
resources, and nebulous theories that
sound good TO the ear, but are impossible
of practical application to existing con-
ditions are advanced. Between the hys-
terra that exists on the one side and the
tendency to despoil the public domain on
the other. we will, it is hoped be able
to find the true policy of the govern
ment''
Secretary Ballinger expressed the opin-
ION that "a greater obligation rests upon
the states than upon the general govern
ment TO 1raugurate laws to prevent waste
IN the utilization of national resources.
There has been grossly exaggerated no.
Ton among some people, he declared, as
10 what the general government can do in
conserving the natural resources that lie
IN the deposits of minerals and are CON
tanned in the soils and the streams For
the most part, he pointed out they have
passed into private ownership and are
under the municipal ownership of the
states

Speedy Survey of Areas.

What the public domain needs today
is a speedy survey of all available areas
for settlement. an adequate and scientific
classification OF the remainder of the
public lands and such legislation as. will
enable determination of all private en-
tries and rights in the interest of the
bona fide claimant without unreal onable
delay. and above all, protection against
the monopolization or waste of our nat
ural resources.
Mr.. Ballinser declared that the present
laws and methods of disposal of deposits
of coal, phosphates. oil and natural gas
are utterly impractical. either from the
standpoint of the locator that of the
government. And no adequate method
exists, he added. for controlling or su-
pervising hydrc-electric power produced
from power plants installed on govern
ment water power sites. No man or set
of men can comply with the present law
and finance a coal inc on the public
domain on Go acres of land except under
extremely favorable conditions. The alb
surdty Of the law in itself invited fraud
and indirect methods of evading its pro-
visions. 1t is hoped Congress will fur
nish the Interior Department with the
necessary machinery to guard safely and
properly the public interests in their uti-
mate disposition

Should Be Left to States.

1T seems to me- he continued, "that
We should not try to impose the whole
burden OF conservation on the general
government. but leave 1t TO the states and
TO the municipalities to work out, except
in so far as national interference is neces-
sary to protect national interests: and I
want to be understood as opposed to the
theory that because the state has not ex-
ercised to the full its powers in the mat
ter OF reforms. ipso facto, the national
government must exercise them

said, cannot "enter the state and dictate

that We are not through with the policy

where We can say the remainder of our

STEEL LAYlNG ON CAN
adam NORTHERN BEGUN
Welsh Construction Co. Of Davenport
Iowa, Lay First Rail on New Line
to Duluth Yesterday.

The first rail on the connecting
extension of the Canadian North
ern system between this point and
Duluth was spiked down yesterday.
the work being under the direction
of the Welsh Construction Com
pany of Davenport, Iowa, who ex-
pect to have steel laid on the first
% miles of the line south from this
city by January 1st.
The grading on the first twelve
miles of the line, done by r. E.
Jacobson, of Minneapolis, extend
ing from this point to the St. Louis
river, is now complete, this work
having been done at the rate of
practically one mile per week since
starting.
The work of grading is under
Foley, Welsh & Stewart, under
whom have been fourteen sub.con-
tractors engaged at various points
points along the route, including
such well-known railroad builders
as Richard Evans, of Minneapolis,
who during the past thirty years
has been instrumental in the con-
struction of many lines of road in
eight western states and who did
much work on the recently COM
pleted 500 Line, one of the quickest
pieces of railroad work in the his
tory of the country.
1t is the expectation of the pro-
moters to have the line completed
and trains running by September
1st, next, and the completion of the
line will be source of great satis-
faction to Virginians, giving us
through service to Duluth without
the necessity of a change at Wolf.
1t will also put Virginia on a
through line with connections north
and south, and will unquestionably
mean an appreciable reduction in
freight rates as we'll as quicker and
more satisfactory service.
Frank J. Anderson, superinten
dent of construction for Foley,
Welsh & Stewart, left yesterday for
trip over the route to Duluth, with
view to placing steam shovels as
needed along the route for the pur-
pose of curing the numerous sink
holes which will doubtless dot.-the
line in its earlier days, 9 it traverses
swamp country for many miles.
The building of the line from this
end has been made necessary
through the fact that the Duluth
end of the route will of necessity be
a slow piece of work, a great amount
Of rock tunnelling being encounter
ed. But the fact that Virginia is
the distributing point for the work
will bring no hardship to the busi.
ness interests of the city, who will
benefit from the work throughout
the construction period.

BOUNDS OF the MINNESOTA
DESERT ARE EXTENDED
The Interior Department will Eliminate
Liquor from Chisholm and Hibbiag
Among Other Places Under
Indian Treaty.

The terms of the ancient Indian
treaty of 1855, which have caused SO
much trouble in the Cass Lake and
Walker district for some months
past, has been extended by order OF
the interior department, taking in
many new villages and cities and
including in the Great Northern
Desert such nearby places as CHS
holm and Hibbing.
This order was promulgated on
Friday last, becoming Immediately
effective, the dealers being given
the privilege OF continuing in busi
ness while existing stocks held out
but all transportation lines into the
towns being ordered to refuse ship
ments of liquor to points within the
territory included.
The district, under the extended
boundaries, includes Becker, Hub
bard and Cass counties, and parts
OF Crow Wing, Aitkin, Pine, Carlton
St. Louis, Itasca, Koschiching, Bel
trami, Clearwater, Mahnomen, Polk
Norman, Clay, Otter Tail and Wa
dena counties, the chief cities in the
district being Brainerd, Hibbing
Ada, Chish olm, Bemidji, Lake Park
Detroit, Frazer, Perhan, Cass, Lake
Grand Rapids, Park Raj pids, Aitkin
Meetings at various places in the
dry region early in the week were
held for the purpose of selecting
delegations to go to Washington in
remonstrance to the order, which is
recognized by all as farclcal move
inasmuch as the noble red man has
departed from the sections in which
are located many of the places, but
until Legislative relief is offered il
is unquestioned the order will be
made to stick much tighter than
does the state law regulating the
liquor traffic.
And the possibility of Legislative
relief to the situation is not being
enhanced by the actions of the Ind
ians in the Cass Lake reservation
who petition congress to have the
terms of the treaty obeyed to the
letter.
While thus tar the western Mesa
ba towns are not experiencing any
alarming drouth, owing to the fact
that teams are hauling in addition.
al supplies from the outskirts, this
method OF bringing in the quench
extinguisher will doubtless come tc
a sudden stop when "Pussy-foot'
Johnson or some other of the gov
ernment agents get on the job.

Asked TO Use Barrels.

A notice given publication else
where in this issue, signed by the
Board of Health, asks Virginians
to use barrels or boxes for garbage
during the winter months. This is
caused by the experience with the
frozen garbage cans last winter.
The department will see that all
garbage placed in boxes or barrels
is removed, the same as they have
been doing with the garbage placed
in cans during the summer.
