By Cong. G. A. Lindbergh.
(Sixth District, MinnesOta.)

I could give a short story of the
interesting scenic surroundings along
the Mississippi headwaters, but they
have become so we'll known that, in.
stead, shall express my views on
the economic Importance of the up.
per Mississippi and it's tributaries.
A trip down the headwaters can be
most easily made in small row
boat. The trip involves hard work
but the experience and pleasures one
gets out of it are sufficient to fully
repay all the work. We took 20
days from Lake Itasca to Aitkin.
Wild Tract at Cass.
At Cass Lake, Mr.. Marshall, chief
forester, showed me over a consid-
erable section of the national forest
reserve. This consists of about
10000 acres. There is some OBJ
lection on the part of towns in the
surrounding territory because Of this
wild and undeveloped tract. Mr..
Marshall is pushing some work that
will go far to remove the objections.
He has plans for leasing tracts of the
forest reserve for grazing purposes,
stock raising, etc.
Build Up Community.
He is leasing lots for summer
homes on the lakes and this brings
trade and business to the surround
ing towns. The Forestry Depart
ment is expecting to bear it's proper
tion Of the expenses in making local
improvements so that the surround
ing country will be aided. The de-
partment wishes to be liberal and to
establish a policy and pursue Its

..z In Progress.

London, Sept. 16.-The admiralty

is too small to accommodate the chill

ton.
