NOT ON THE PROGRAM,

Herbert Hodson is only a fire
warden. He has spent the summer
in Koochiching county. Last week,
with the other fire wardens of the
state, he was called upon to relin-
quish his duties. The funds for
forest protection this year are ex
hausted. Herbert is not on the pro-
gram for a speech at the Conserva-
ton Congress but he earned place
there when, on quitting his work he
said:
With millions of dollars worth of
timber and other property to say
nothing of hundreds of lives jeopar.
died by forest fires which at any
time might spring forth into vast
conhagation, repeating possibly the
Huxley horror, it is a sad comment.
airy on a state that is discussing the
adjustment of state taxes to have to
confess its financial inability to con-
tinue the fire rangers at work.
While Chief Forester Andrews
and his staff may not be able to do
much in putting out the fires, the
presence of a state fire warden is a
wholesome warning to settlers, cam
| pers and others who might start fires,
to use the utmost precaution
against so doing.
No official act that A. O. Eber-
hart could do at this time would
make him so popular in Upper Min
nesota as in arranging for the
continuation of the fire warden ser.
vice. There is scarcely town in this
section that does not see forest fire
smoke day after day without inter-
ruption. When the leaves begin to
fall, if the weather continues dry, the
danger will increase. 1t should be
recalled that the Hinkley fire was in
September.
1t is an argument that will not be
believed in Upper Minnesota that
the funds are exhausted. The state
is far too rich for any fund to be ex-
hausted except in most extraordinary
exigencies. If the fund is short it
should be renewed from other
sources" 49,
What will it profit state to gain
all the conservation congresses in
the world and lose its own forests?

Your attention is again called to
the fact that communications on
any subject of public interest will
be printed in the Pioneer. 1t is al
most daily thing to have persons
suggest to the editor that he say
certain things in the paper. For
various reasons the editor may not
wish to say them but you can do so
yourself. When you feel that I'D
like to say a thing or two" feeling
creeping over you, sit down and
write it out. Often it would make a
more interesting paper and at the
same time relieve your feelings. We
have had some communications, and
want more. ~#. .., 49,.

No, Bemidji has not as yet been
officially counted. Some who have
been deeply interested in the recent
guessing contest are becoming i'm
patient, and are making COMPARE
sons with the growth of other cities,
wishing to change their estimates.
These growing northern cities can
feel certain that their percentage
over 1900 will be much larger than
any reports yet published.

Although Walter Wellman's attempt
to cross the Atlantic ocean in dirigi-
BILE airship resulted in failure, he and
his companions established a reputa-
ton for daring and broke all records
in air navigation. They remained in
the air about seventy-two hours and
during that time covered a distance
estimated to be about 1000 miles. No
other air men ever Travelled so far with
out landing or under such conditions.
They met great test of courage and
endurance successfully. Few persons
believed they would cross the ocean.
Mr. Welman is native of Ohio
and fifty-two years old. He is a jour-
nalist by occupation. but has devoted
much time In recent years to explora-
ton. In 1892 he located the landing
