CRIMINAL Waste.
The Hutchinson Leader Takes a
Rap at LAUNDERING as Done.

The investigation started BY
Oscar Arneson, chief of the timber
bureau in the state auditors office
into the stealing of state timber by
false scaling returns and Other
methods has already resulted in
unearthing serious irregularities
If reports heard over northern
Minnesota can be believed there is
room for lot of inquiry along this
line. One who has occasion tc
travel over the timber region of the
state on other business hears much
in regard to the ease with which
state timber can be stolen.
1t is not in actual stealing OF
logs and timber, however, that
the greatest injury is done to the
state, nor is the loss of the value
of timber stolen of serious conse-
quence in comparison with the
irreparable damage done by waste
full methods of numbering, in
evitably followed by terribly
destructive fires.

rangers undoubtedly do what they

ELY SHUT OUT
Two HaFbors Boys Garry Of
Honors 4 to o Sunday.

In a well played game the Ely
team went down to defeat at the
hands of the Two Harbors
Gophers" Sunday on a score of
4 to O. The visitors started pro-
ceedings by slainming out the first
ball thrown and the next man up
put home run hit over the fence
scoring himself and the man ahead.
From then on the scoring was
desultory and while Two Harbors
secured two more runs during the
eight innings that followed the Ely
boys failed to bring a man across.
West did the twirling for Ely
and after the first inning held the
visitors to struggling hits.
Lambert was behind the bat.
The Two Harbors pitcher had
the game under perfect control
the larger part of the time and
pulled himself out of several tight
holes by the inability of the Ely
sluggers to connect with his
offerings.

FOREST FIRES
Superior National Forest Sui.
fers Some,

Fire conditions on the Superior
National Forest still remain very
unfavorable. Five fires have been
completely put out and one is under
control, and being patrolled.
Three others are being fought
with a crew of seventy-fve men.
One fire has burned over approx
imately four thousand acres and
may cover a considerably larger
area before it is under control.
1t has been necessary to take in
men and supplies as we'll as tools
and camp equipment, by canoe.
Forestry officials are very much
gratifed that thru the cooperation
with county and city officials and
the St. Croix Lumber Co. they
have been been able to secure men
to put on the fire line. It is ex-
pected that it will take about ten
days to control the fires now burn
ing.

many hard campaigns and their
successes on the tracks and speed
ways have been due to their des-
perate method of negotiating space

During the strike of 1913 in the
copper country a periodical called
Truth was published by authority
of the Citizens Alliance to tell the
truth regarding the Western FEEDER
alton, which was at this time in
charge of affairs. In one of the
issues the paper tells of the opening
speech of Carlo Tresco, who was
at that time Western Federation
leader.
Among other things he told the
miners that they had just begun
to fight and they could only call
themselves victors when they had
planted the red flag on the mining
properties" Then he said, Non
la straccia con la STEELE la strappo,
ma la bandic rosa del riscatto. I"
In English this reads, mot a rag
with the stars and stripes, but the
red flag of our redemption.
In closing he said that when
they had won the strike and gone
back to work they should save their
money and instruct their children
to save their money to buy cart
ridges with which to take the mine
properties away from the ruffians
and the dirty bosses and give them
back to humanity. to whom they
belonged. Yes, take them away
and cut the heads off the bosses who
are now fighting against your
rights. "-Virginia Enterprise.

National Forest Recelpts

Receipts from National Forests
for the fiscal year 1916 reached
the high-water mark of approx.
mately $2,s2O,OOO, according tc
figures just compiled. This is
S341,OOO above the 1915 total,
which in turn exceeded any pre-
vious year. Officials say the gain
was due to increased demand TO,
all classes of forest products.
There was a decided growth il
the revenue from all sources, the
largest being that of $2O3,OOO il
timber sales. Grazing fees showed
gain of $4,000. Receipts fol-
water power development were
over S12, 900 more than for 1915
Sales of turpentine privileges anc
charges for special uses were bott
considerably in excess of the pre-
vious year.
Officials say that the nationa
forests are important factors il
the prosperity of the regions III
which they are located, on account
of the large amounts of timber
range, and other resources which
they hold available for use a.

reflected in the receipts of the
forests. Consequently the show
ing for the past year is regarded al
an index of increased business
activity throughout the sections
where the national forests are
found.

to enforce the law requiring the
burning of slash, yet the regard of
this provision of the law in many


localities is a reproach to the state.
Immense areas including township
after township have been denuded
of every last vestige of vegitation-
even the soil having been consum-
ed to the bare rocks, where once
the virgin forest clothed the face of
mother earth, conserving the
moisture, sheltering the game, and
producing valuable growth-all
to save the expenditure of a few
paltry dollars for proper disposal
of slash. Instead of burning slash
in the winter, when the numbering
is done and when it should, and
can easily and cheaply be burned,
it is often left until the summer,
when, dry as finder, a match is
touched to it and the whole region
is consumed in a fiery furnace.
LAUNDERING operations, as they
have been carried on in Minnesota
are blighting curse to the state.
Beautiful forest-clad hills and
slopes are converted into CHASTITY
scenes of destruction and desola-
ton which generations cannot
eface. Lovely lakes trimmed with
verdure are transformed into ugly
ponds-cemeteries of countless dead
trees flooded by dams, their
beauty gone forever. Lands of
private owners are submerged and
their value destroyed without
leave of license. The poor, hunt
ed inhabitants of the forest are
driven hither and yon and not
even swamp is spared for them
in which to hide from relentless
pursuers.
Much is being said and written
about the beauty of Northern Min
nesota. lit is called the future
playground of America. 1t is
indeed. where spared the devasta-
tons of fire, a place of surprising
beauty, but in failing to take
strong and vigorous measures to
protect the small remnant of the
unspoiled wilderness. we are
guilty of criminal negligence.
Arguments, spacious and full of
sophistry, are advanced to show
that the burning of the country is
a benefit as a preparation for agri-
culture. Nothing could be more
misleading. Cut over lands are
generally covered with a miscel-
laneous growth of small timber
which serves to provide an income
for the settler while opening up
lands for cultivation. There is a
constant market for ties. posts,
poles, cordwood, mining timber.
pulpwood, etc., all of which can be
manufactured from the residue
after numbering operations are
over. Burned-over lands yield
nothing in the way of timber pro-
ducts. There is nothing to sus-
tain and support the settler and
his family while preparing land
for the cultivation of crops. Con-
sequently settlement does not
follow the lumberman as it should
and the development of the country
is retarded.
More power to the state auditor S
Office and to the state forester to
compel observance of the laws we
have to protect the state from
further plundering and to save
Northern Minnesota from the re-
suits of ruinous and destructive
practices before it is everlastingly
too late.-Hutchinson Leader.

LIFT POTATO EMBARGO.

Washington, Dec. 6.-To attack the
high cost of food so far as potatoes
are concerned the Department of Ag-
riculture has ordered relaxation of
the quarantine of potatoes from Can
ada.
Hereafter Canadian potatoes with
not more than 10 per cent showing
traces of disease will be admitted at
any border customs house instead of
specially designated ports as has been
the practice. Shipments will not be
detained for inspection and the horti-
cultural board will take steps to make
the formalities attending such imports
as free of burden to importers as pos
sible.
The departments action is expected
to bring large quantities of potatoes
into tht United States to meet the
high prices.

PRESENTS SCHEME
TO CHECK WEEVIL
Smith Proposes System of Quarantine
Lones-South Carolina Senator
viii Push Plan to Stamp Out
Cotton Pest.

Washington, Dec. G.-Creation of a
series of zones in the South in which
no cotton could be grown for a
ptrlod of one year as means of
checking and eXterminating the boil
weevil in this country will be pro-
posed in a bill which Senator Smith
of South Carolina announced tonight
he soon would offer and urge for
passage. The senator proposes that
the non-growing area shall be started
IN the extreme northeastern limit of
work southwark and westward in a
series of zones 100 miles in width
each year until the entire cotton
growing section shall have been COW
cred.
The fedtral government, Senator
Smith said, would be given the power
to police the zone to see that the law
was observed and growers and gin
ners affected would be compensated
by the government. Experts esti-
mated that it would cost $25 100000
a year to maintain the boil weevil
zone in Alabama which Senator
Smith proposed year ago.
The first year the cotton pro-
hibitive zone would include the ex-
treme eastern portions of North
Carolina and South Carolina. The
next year this zone would be released
and the non-productive area extend
ed 100 miles and this rotation would
he kept up until the entire territory
had been covered.
Highest chronological authorities
have approved the zone system as the
only practical means of exterminat-
ing the devastating boil weevil in
this country" said Senator Smith.
The annual cost would be infnitesi-
NAL as compared to the benefit that
would be derived. Six hundred mil
lion dollars has been expended to
eradicate the bill weevil in this
country, but he still thrives and is
moving rapidly toward the fields of
North and South Carolina.
The zone system not only would
prove the practicability of this meth
cd of exterminating the boil weevil
but by giving farmers opportunity to
grow cover crops, would demonstrate
whethe rthe South can SUCCESSFULLY
grow other food products"
