in much better position than any
of the states named, both as regards
the availability and the price of
cut-over lands suitable for state
forests.
The report says there is an inn
mense territory north and west of
Burnside forest which is totally
unfit for farming, but admirably
adapted for timber production,
camping. canoeing and fishing.
The same is true of the forest re-
serve itself.
In Pillsbury forest more tree
planting is deemed necessary.
Much young pine is coming up
naturally there. In Itasca park
there are more than 5000 acres of
privately owned land. These
should be purchased, according to
the report. Practically all the
timber on the shore lines of the
lakes has been obtained and the
park is famed for its quiet beauty,
the grandeur of its pine forests and
the abundance of wild game.
Because of the inadequacy of
funds the forest service was unable
to retain the force of patrolmen or
ganized early in the year and nearly
all have been discharged. 1t is es-
sential. the board says, that these
men be kept, in order to open trails
through the woods, build telephone
lines, lookout towers and perfect a
system of fire patrol and fire pro-
lection that will make the states
vast timber interests safe. The
Legislature will be asked to increase
the appropriations for 1913 and
1914 to $50, 900 a year. In 1911
and 1912 it was only SIS, 900. The
federal government contributed
$40. 900 additional for men to help
protect the forests at the head of
navigable streams.

UP TO THE MAYOR
Council ShOVes Responsibility onto
Mayor WGiRziGTl

After hearing a half dozen wit
nesses and other evidence tending
to substantiate the charges made
by H. Kornfeld, a local merchant,
against Police Officer Muhvich,
the city council at their special
meeting Wednesday evening de-
cided on motion of Alderman Harri
supported by Alderman Buecowich
to leave the whole matter to Mayor
Weinzierl for his action. The
mayor at once decided that Officer
Muhvich should continue his posi-
ton.
City Attorney Thomas conducted
the examination of the witnesses
after which he read laws showing
that the council must act either one
way or the other. The council at
once shifted the responsibility to
the shoulders of Mayor Weinzierl
by vote of S to 1, Alderman Hodge
voting against the proposition.
Those who have been asking for
a change in the police department
insofar as this officer was concern
ed, will be compelled to look higher
up for redress. 1t is rumored about
that Mr.. Kornfeld will now enter
suit against the mayor, police force
and city for damages for the goods
destroyed and stolen by the mob of
hoodlums on the evening of Novem.

CARL SCHROEDER IS DEAD
Passing Away on Tuesday Morning Of Well
Known Old Timer at Ills Home North
of Osnahr0ck VILLAGE.

The report of the death of Carl
Schroeder, n of the we'll known resi-
dent farmers north of Osnabrock since
the early days was rec eived in Langdon
on Monday by his many friends with
mingled feelings of surprise and sorrow.
1t is understood that his family and
intimate friends had known for some
little time past that his health was in a
bad way, but none had expected that
the end was so near. Mr.. Schroeder
was in his s~ixty.seventh year. had been
a resident OF the neighborhood in which
he lived for nearly thirty years. The
community, which is composed of some
of the most substantial and respected
men who have come to Cavalier county.
look upon the passing away of Carl
Schroeder as a vacancy in their midst
that cannot be replaced. He was looked
up to as a man of piety, a man who in
his years of pioneer life in the west had
never shirked his share of life's burden
and hardship and had been foremost in
u%pbuilding a spirit of religious and
educational development in his home
community. Deceased is survived by a
widow and grown family of sons and
daughters. The funeral is understood
as being held today from the German
Evangelical church near his home.

Dainty Dishes of tho Papuans.

The Papuans eat extraordinary
things. A particular delicacy is the
white larvae of a beetle found in the
decayed wood of a tree trunk. They
split up the log with their mighty
stone axes and cut up the fragments
with sharpened shells in the quest Of
the larvae. Sometimes they eat them
raw, but usually roast them first.
"There are two kinds of water tor
toises which they like to eat, and rats,
lizards, frogs and snakes and the eggs
Of crocodiles they devour greedily."
Their meat is the wild pig, the walla-
by and the cassowary, all of which
they hunt with dogs.-"Pygmies and

He'll, Hull and Halifax,

Halifax, supposed to be the most
wealthy and prosperous town in the
north Of England in proportion to size,
formerly possessed a curious notoriety.

'From Hell, Hull and Halifax deliver
us" This arose from the fact that
Halifax at one time could infict sum-
mary punishment upon anybody within
Il radius of nine miles who had COM
mitted a felony, especially by stealing
cloth. The culprits were tried by a

guilty, as generally happened, were ex-
ecuted with a kind of %guillotine at a
spot still shown in Gibbet lane.-Lon-

PunS.


The pun was at it's climax early in
the nineteenth century. Thomas Hood
was a master punster, especially in
verse. No better examples can be

Trumpet" What could be heater than
the argument Of the fiddler trying to
sell an ear trumpet:
There was a Mrs. F.
So very deaf

And been knocked on the head
Without hearing it snap.
Well, I sold her a trumpet,
And the very next day
She heard from her husband at Botany
