GOVERNOR BURNQUIST
SUGGESTS STATE PARK
AT HEAD OF LAKE

In opening his address Governor
Burnquist referred to the trip
through the northern part of the
state what was known as the "Ad-
journed Legislature" last June, and
spoke of the benefits resulting from
that trip, of the different portions of
the state visited at that time, and the
great enterprises which were seen on
| that occasion.
| In this connection he mentioned the
beautiful tract of virgin pine that
remains adjoining the city of Be-
midi and suggested the consideration
of the advisability of securing the
same for state park, to show to fu-
ture generations the Minnesota for
ests of the past.
Speaks Of Bemidji.
He said that one result of that trip
was the calling of an "All-Minne-
sofa Development Convention" by
the late Governor Hammond, which
was held at the capitol, Dec. 1, 1915.
Governor Burnquist discussed certain
of the propositions which were recon-
mended by that convention, such as
the revolving fund amendment, high
way, drainage and the necessity of a
soil survey of the different portions
of the state, and in this connection
Explained the recent sale of portion
of the foreign state bonds held by the
Estate of Minnesota, the proceeds OF
which can be loaned to different
school districts, municipalities and
counties of the state and at the same
time procure for the state higher
rate of interest as most of the bonds
have netted only three per cent in
Iterest.
An Engineers Survey.
Another matter that the governor
Thought should be considered is thu
ladvisability and the practicability O.
having an engineers survey Of :tht
northern portion of the state to de
ltermine what can be accomplished
Ialong the lines of draining all of tn
swamp lands and at the same tim
secure cooperation with the fedora
government to Investigate the feast
bility of constructing reservoirs to re
tain the water, to be used for navi
cation purposes in the Mississippi
river when the water in that river
too low for navigation. The prac

bright, catchy windows attract
the attention of tourists, also," said
Mrs: Netzer. "A tourist will remem-
ber the appearance Of q city whose
stores have attractive windows and
lit will mean a big advertisement for
the city" -: H.. ---.-
Mrs. Netzer also urged the use of
indoor show cards and every other
step that could possibly be taken to
make the people realize that the more
sent out of town so much more would
the value Of their property decrease
in the town. She urged merchants
to trade at home also, IL they desired
|other people to trade at home. :.
"There are five reasons why trade
at home," said Mrs. Netzer. They
are as follows: ;, -, ...~
"First, have my Interests here.
"second, because believe in trans
acting business with friends.
"Third, because the community
that is good enough for me to live in
is good enough for me to buy in.
Fourth, because the man pur-
chase from pays his part of the city
and county taxes.
Fifth, because I believe in my
town and it's FUTURE"
Aid Sales Force.
Mrs. Netzer urged the merchants
to secure a good sales force and to
cooperate with the force. She urged
the holding of meetings to discuss
the stock and sales ideas. She urged
the merchants to find out the needs
of the customer and satisfy him or
her, stating that it is easier to sell
Ia second article to a customer that
is satisfied than to sell an article to
Ia new customer.

Lack of Roads.

"However, the one great drawback
in the development of this land is
the lack of roads to get to and from
it. This fund will enable the state,
through it's commission, to build such
roads, and to clear a certain amount
upon every section of land.
"1f this amendment is adopted by
the people Of Minnesota these lands
can then be put upon the market with
a nice little cleared area ready for
the settler to go upon and till. He
will not have to face the many hard
ships and overcome the innumerable
obstacles which confront the sturdy
pioneer of today and of yesterday. 1t
will enable the man with small
amount of money to settle on this
land, and in the first year raise a
little crop on that portion of his land
which the state has made ready for
the plow. This will leave him free
to devote his spare time to clearing
additional land.

with this amendment, you should
look into it very thoroughly as I

lands that are far better for agricul-
tural purposes than for reforestra-

principles expounded in the church.
that it in no sense could take the place

its members.
