Last November a year ago we
paced on the Market at Bass Lake 8
miles north of Bemidji on the Nj. &
I. Ry $40 acre tracts on the po-
tato crop payment plan, and build
ing a sidewalk in the center of the
tract to afford shipping facilities for
the crops, from Bass Lake as we'll as
from Lavinia, and Turtle River.
The last winter was bad one to
start in as the prices of potatoes
were low, and then the spring and
summer was very backward for
beginners, but instead of Is forties
being sold the sales closed to Deem
Der l, 1910 is SIS tracts closing out
every foot at Bass Lake except the
l acre lake front lots held for grape
culture, and out of SIS of these lots
on the lake about half is spoken for
and will be developed the coming
year.
The crop for 1910 was varied on
these newly boken lands but it prov
edsto each purchaser that took care
of his crop, that the soil will produce
and withstand almost any kind of
climatic conditions we have here if
the right kind of work is put on the
crop by the owner, or in other words
the man behind the pillow is what
counts, and those who settled there
last spring have brought in their
friends this fall which have taken up
all the unsold parts of the Bass Lake
tract,
The company owns alarge num-
berof partly improved farms along the
M. & I. line from Lavinia north that
is especially adapted for stock, and
those will be sold to settlers on 20
years time with on or before privi-
lege of payments at 6 per cent inter-

payments will be required, and at
prices ranging from S. 90 to $12 90

be as follows purchase price $4,000

lem: = "~E
The problem of fire protection
has come to be one of the most i'm.
portant problems to be considered in
the proper development of northern
Minnesota and in a great measure to
the entire state, for two reasons:
First-Northern Minnesota can
not afford to lose its timber or it's
citizens by fire. \
/ Second-M Minnesota cannot
afford to have the reputation that
it does not provide adequate pro-
lection 10 the people that have
been induced to settle in the
northern part of the state.
.'The fundamental principle of
forest protection is that there
must be an organization to pre-
vent fires and not merely designed
to put fires out after they start.
minnesota is today without
such an organization, and, assum-
ing that the theory of prevention
rather than protection is the cor
rect one. in order to get started

a crowd of 40 armed men from the
mountain section of the county.
where the crime was committed, pro-
ceeded. quietly through the town to
the county Jail Admission was gain.
ed to the building and me guards
were awed into comparative non.
resistance. Moore's cell soon was
found and he was taken out.
Precautions had been taken by the
mob to prevent an alarm and almost
as quietly as they had entered the
town they left II and started back
TO the mountains IL was not until
some hours after the rescue that
deputy sheriffs were on their way Ia
the mountains to try to re.arrest the
murderer. II is feared that bloodshed
will result from any attempt OF the
authorities to recapture him.

the action of the governor was con-
demned by those who favor the kill

who are opposed to Il. and a majority
OF the legislators seem TO favor the
repeal Of the law that was passed at
the last session.
State Highway Commissioner Gates
was present Thursday at a meeting OF
the highways committee, when high
way matters in general were under
discussion. The bill to do away with
county road supervisors was taken up
and opposed by Mr.. Gates who
thought n great deal Of good came
through these officials.
The general committee gave hear
ing Thursday on the bill introduced
by Mr. Clark OF Morrlstown providing
q bounty on porcupines. This should
not be confounded with any hedge.

much sport Of at the last session. AS
matter OF fact Mr. Clark says there
is not hedgehog in tho state Of Yer
mont but there are porouplnes which
Is the real name OF the little pests
that do so much damage.
The testimony before the commit
tee was all in favor Of a bounty OF SO
or 40 cents on the animals The I'M
mense damage done to young timber
by the porcupines was pointed out
and Senator Daniels OF Washington
county told the committee that $780,
600 a year would not cover Il. II Is
evident by the earnestness with which
the speakers went az the matter that
they regarded Il OF Importance and
that any time taken up by the leglsla-
ture in such legislation would not by
any means be wasted.
II was Joseph Battell OF Mlddlebury
