Newspaper Comment From Northern
Portion of State Shows What
General Opinion Seems.
LARGE NUMBER WILL ATTEND
Is Principally for Lands Of the Cut
Over. Glass Although Others Will
Be, Affected BY Action Taken
NEW AMENDMENT WILL APPLY
If Passed By Voters of State at Next
General Election State Land Will
Be Improved As Well as Private.

Action taken by the delegates at
the northern Minnesota development
association at the Hinckley conven-
ton last week in regard to the call
ing of a convention to be held in
Duluth hte first of July, for the pur-
pose of discussing way in which to
secure proper and financial aid for
the clearing of cut over sections, is
meeting with enthusiasm.
Newspapers over the entire north
ern portion of the state are admit
ting freely that the convention will
be of great consequence to this Sec
ton and are urging that the meeting
be we'll attended.
The committee appointed for the
purpose of giving the meeting pub
licity and advocating It's chief bene-
fits are working constantly on the
proposition and are confident that
it will be successful. This commit
tee consists Of.
F. r. Duxbury, chairman, president
F.. R. Duxbury Land Co., st. Paul;
w. E. Willard, development agent,
Northern Pacific Railway st. Paul;
Geo. w. Empey, cashier Farmers &
Merchants State Bank, Hinckley;
Chas. s. Mitchell, Editor "News- Trib-
une," Duluth; w. r. Mackenzie, Sec
rotary, Secretary Northern Minnesota
Developments Association, Bemidji. {
1t is estimated that about twelve
million acres of land would come un-
der the head of cut-over lands, and
it is believed that the demand for
these lands which is now assuming
large proportions will grow as the
years go by.
Several hundred thousand acres
are now held by people who would
like to have the same cleared of
stumps, but who have not the pro-
per machinery or are unable to hire
labor to clear up any part of their
tract, and would be only too glad to
make the necessary improvements to
show it's productiveness. The posi-
bilities of this cut-over land, how
ever, are so we'll known that it will
not be necessary at this. time to en-
ter into discussion of the same.
1t is hoped that at the Duluth meet
ing there will be a representative at
tendance of the railways, land own
ers, newspapers, merchants, lumber
men, banks and manufacturers OF
land clearing machinery, besides 9TH
ers who would be naturally interest
ed in this work.
At the next general election a con-
stitutional amendment will be voted
on by the people of Minnesota, au-
thorizing the land department of the
state to form revolving fund of
$250,O0O which can be used for the
improving of state land SO that II
the private land owners and the state
will both start on this work, the prob
lem of settling up the cut-over
counties will have been accom-
plished.

Parade Wagons Ruin Diamond

Local ball players will be much
troubled when they find that the big
circus wagons driven across the ball
diamond at the fair grounds have
torn up the ground SO that it will be
almost impossible to play ball upon it.
The ground was recently repaired by
the Crookston Lumber company team
but they are now in more need OF
repairs than before.
