Your Town

If you live in a town you should
believe in it. If you don't believe
your own town or city is little
better in most respects than any of
it's neighbors you should move out.
Like other places, it has advantages
that others have not, and your
modesty should not prevent you
from making that fact known
whenever the opportunity presents
itself. At home or abroad whether
pursuing pleasure or engaged in
business, do not neglect to give
those with whom you come in con-
tact to understand that you live in a
live town populated by enterpris-
ing, wide-awake, go-ahead people,
and one that is advancing instead
of retrograding. If you can truth
fully speak in commentator of the
ability of your professional men,
the squar dealing methods of your
merchants, the excellence of your
mechanics, the superiority of your
churches, schools and public insti-
tutions and industry, energy and
sobridty of your citizens, let moth
ing prevent you from exercising
that privilege. You should learn
to believe, if you do not already,
that we have all these and in ad-
dition the best located town, the
finest country surrounding it, with
the most intelligent class of farmers
to be found. If there are any
drawbacks it will not be necessary
to mention them. The people and
newspapers of competing towns
will relieve you of that task by at
tending to that part of it them
selves. Strangers seeking loca-
tions are always greatly influenced
in favor of any town whose citi-
zens are enthusiastic in its praise.
No city or town expects to attain
prominence over its rivals unless
its inhabitants appreciate excell-
ence and virtues of each other and
will collectively spread abroad
their faith in the present prosper
ity and future greatness of their
locality. Talk is a cheap COM
modify but when rightly utilized
it can be made effective in many
directions and this is one of them.

What National Forests Means

Many people, when speaking
of the Federal National forests, are
still heard to refer to them as forest
reserves, says Supervisor Brownell
of the Superior Forest. 1t is not
improbable, the Supervisor
goes on to state, that there
are many who may not under
stand the correct application
of the term national forests, or
why they are so called. 1t is true
that the first forest established
by President Harrison in 1891 was
named the Yellowstone Park
Timberland Reserve and that later
reservations were known as Forest
Reserves. In 1905, however,
Congress changed the name Forest
Reserves to that of National
Forests for the reason that they
were reserves only in the sense that
the lands were set apart by congress
or presidential proclamation to in
sure perpetual supply of timber
for home industries, to prevent the
destruction of the forest cover
which regulates the flow of streams,
and to protect forest and range
from monopoly or abuse, to the in
jury of the local residents and the
general public. The national
forests are for use and are being
used more and more each year.
LAUNDERING, grazing, special use,
free use to settlers, and recreation
being the principal uses to which
they are put. The aim of the
forest service is to secure the great
est possible use of the lands and
products in its charge. 1t is readily
seen then that the term forest
reserves today is misnomer,"

LESS ACCIDENTS
Federal Bureau Of Mines Gives State
Much Credit

In review of the work accom-
plished in the campaign to reduce
the number of deaths in the mines
of the United States, the Federal
Bureau of Mines has placed the
states of Michigan and Minnesota
in the honorable mention column.
The report, which deals with
fatalities in the metal mines of the
country for 1912, shows that Michi-
gan has reduced its total of deaths
in the copper and iron mines from
134 in 1911 to ninety-six in 1912;
that Minnesota has reduced its total
deaths in the iron mines from sew
enty-six to fifty in the same period.
The death rate for every 1000 men
employed in~Michigan was 4.24 in
1911 and 326 in 1912; and in Min
nesota 4.59 in 1911 and 3.O2 in
1912.
The thirty-eight less lives lost
in Michigan represent one miner
saved for every 1000 employed
and the twenty-six less lives lost in
Minnesota represent one and one
half miners saved for every 1000
at work.
The decreases in Michigan and
Minnesota in year S time are the
most remarkable we have encoun-
tered so far, said DR.. Joseph A.
Holmes, the director of the Bureau
and were largely due to an active
safety campaign during the last
three years. 1t is indeed gratify-
ing to note that the Lake Superior
mine operators are meetieg with
such marked success within so
short time. 1t shows what NAV
be done in other states if special
efforts are made to safeguard all
engaged in the mining industry.
I do not wish to be understood
as agreeing that the death rates in
Michigan and Minnesota are as low
as they should be. or as low as
they will eventually become, but
do say that these two states in the
wear have made more real progress
towards the desired goal than others
in the Union, either in metal min
ing or coal mining, and that much
credit is due the mine owners in
these.states for their activities in

Died SUNDAY

Alex McKinnen, who has been
employed for some time at one of
the St. Croix camps in the Stony
river country, dropped dead Sun
day from heart disease while on his
way to this city in company with
Harrison Sletten. Little is known
of McKinnen in this city and no
arrangements for the funeral has
been made. 1t is expected that a
brother of deceased will arrive from
Canada tomorrow to make arrange
ments for the funeral. The re-
mains are at the Fenske Undertak-
ing parlors.

behalf of safety.
From the very first, the Bureau
of Mines has noted the friendly CO.
operative spirit between the opera
tors, the miners, the state inspec-
tors and the Bureau of Mines. The
aggressive, progressive spirit mani
tested by all persons concerned, the
desire upon the part of the opera
tors and the men to learn about the
work of the Bureau along safety
lines, the enthusiastic, kindly
greeting of the men of our resue
cars, the eagerness of the miners to
take the prescribed rescue and first
aid training. all those were sufici-
emily noticeable to bring warm COM
ments from the employees of the
Bureau. And the result has been
so fruitful in so many less funerals
so many less widows made and
so many children who have their
fathers left to them. If there were
lesson to the entire mining in
dustry for the year just closing, 1
would point to the remarkable re-
cord made by Michigan and Min
nesota."
The Bureaus report on metal
mine accidents in the United States
in 1912, shows COL men killed, A.
5O2 seriously injured and 26,232
men slightly injured out of total
number of 169, ,199 men employed.
The figures show a decrease of
thirty-four deaths from 1911. de-
spite the fact that Alaska with
twenty one fatalities is included for
the first time in the 1912 report.
The death rate for 1912 was 3.91
for every 900 employed as against
A.. l9 in the year 1911.
The report on metal mine acci-
dents completes the mortality sta
tistics for the mining industry for
the year 1912 and shows in coal
mining, metal mining and. quarry
ing. a total of 1924 deaths for the
year. with death rate of 3.22 as
against 1902 in 1911 and rate of
3.5S in every 1000 employed.

MOYER SAYS GOMPERS
ROW WAS EXAGGERATED
PRESS REPORTS MADE MOUNTAIN
OUT OF SMALL HILL.
Difference Was Over Method to Be Pur-
sued in Raising Funds to Carry
on Michigan Strike.

President Charles II. Meyer of the
Western Federation of Miners returned
to Denver Sunday from indianapolis,
where he had been in attendance upon
the annual convention of the United
Mine Workers of America. He was there
at the time President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor made his
address. He says reports of strife sent
out by daily press reports greatly ex-
aggerated the trouble, and the only diff.
ference was as to the method to be pur-
sued in raising funds to support the
copper strike in Michigan.
"Gompers and myself differed as to
the best way of raising funds for the
support of the striking miners. He
thought it should be raised by an APP
peal, while | believed that the execu-
tive board OF the American Federation of
Labor should make levy on its mem.
bers,"
Meyer also said the report that Dun
can Mcdonald, delegate from Illinois
in the convention, charged Gompers
with being drunkard was twisted out
Of shape. The charge was made that
there had been drinking among members
of the Executive Council of the Fedora
tion, and was not directed toward in
dividuals.
