STATE SENATORS ARE
FAVORABLY IMPRESSED
Eve have saved the stand Of pine
nearest town." said Mr.. Mcdonald,
"and we hope to save the other grove
nearer the head Of the lake.
''You see, there is state law
which permits a city the size Of
Bemidji to incorporate into what is
kown as a park district A board is
then formed which is empowered to
acquire, either by purchase of con-
demnation, park property within the
city limits or within two miles of
the limits The only connection be-
tween this park board and the city
government is that it's treasurer shall
be the same. -" 4
'The city of Bemidji has Just
formed such park district. The
boundaries of the city are such that
practically all Of the big pine just
across the lake is within the city
limits, and that will become park
property almost at once. This will
save the city one of it's greatest at
fractions, as those trees form one of
the few stands of virgin pine still
left within the limits of the state,
which once contained so many mil
lions of acres Of it. We were just
in time for the man who has been
holding it for years has recently Of
fered it for sale, and if it got into
other hands it would, of course, be
cut down ad sawed into lumber.
1.-THE other big grove at the north
end of the lake is outside the two
mile limit and our park board has
no control over it, We are trying to
save it by legislative action, and are
very hopeful of success. A year ago
last May, you remember, the state
senators took junket through
Northern Minnesota We took them
around the lake and gave them a
lunch in the pine grove. At that
time everyone of them expressed him.

the state should buy 200 acres of the

were sincere though we did give them
corking good lunch.

CROOKSTON CHIEF

Crookston, Mimi, Aug. 25.-Alder-
man Hussey made an attack on the
efficiency of the Crookston police de-

that when a young girl was placed
in the cell one night last week it was
in such condition that no human be-

much less a young girl. Chief of Po-
