Steamer EASTON MAY
BE TAKEN TO OCEAN

Inadequate facilities for transport
tation along the Atlantic seabord are
causing many shippers to invade the
Great Lakes ports in search of YES
sells to be used in coastwise traffic
on the Atlantic this coming spring.
The passenger steamer Easton of
the Booth Fisheries company is likely
to be. taken from here. The local
manager of the company said this
morning that there has been some
talk by the Booth people of transfer
ring the Easton to the Atlantic O.
cean, but that nothing definite has
been decided upon.
There is absolutely nothing to the
report that the passenger steamer
America of our line will enter ocean
traffic next spring." said the Booth
manager. This boat will be used in
the regular North Shore service next
summer, the same as in past sea-
sons. Duluth Herald.

TOO MUCH SNOW FOR AUTO
BUS ON STAGE LINE
Failure Of Towns in Keeping Roads
Open Suspends Auto #
Mail Service. "

Winger & Robertson had to dis
continue the use of their auto bus
on the west stage route today, and
put on horses on the entire distance,
owing to the many snowdrifts along
the road. They made an earnest eff
fort to keep this car running, having
ploughed out the road several times,
but found the expense too great for
them to bear.
It is. the duty of the different
towns through which the state road
passes to keep it open in winter,
and it would seem reasonable that if
each town would do their share to-
wards ploughing the drifts, or put
up snow fences in places to prevent
the drifts, the road could be kept
open so that truck could be used
all winter, and the expense would
not be burden to anyone. But it
is too much to expect the mail car
riers. to do this alone. So far this
winter but very little work has been
done by the towns toward keeping
the road open.
Winger & Robertson would be glad
to run their auto bus through from
here to Cramer the same day, CIV
ing us through mail service in winter
as we'll as in summer, if the road
could be kept in condition to permit
it. And it would seem that it is up
to the towns to do something in this
regard, at least to make some effort
and see what can be DONE

the JONES BILLS
AND THE Farmer

The Biwabik Times favors the tax
bills introduced in the senate by
senator Jones which would reduce
CAKES on buildings and business, la
DOR and industry and increase taxes
On the holders of vacant lots and
acres; but the times thinks these
bills will have the opposition of the
farmer.
Where does the Times get it's in
.ormation?
In both house and senate, members
from the farming districts have join
ed with Senator Jones as co-authors
Of the bills. Many of these men are
farmers themselves.
The Northern Minnesota Develop
ment Association has gone on record
several times in favor of the princi-
pie embodied in these bills; so also
las the All Minnesota Development
Association, no less than three times,
co my knowledge.
The Farmers Non-Partisan League
of North Dakota, the Oranges of
most of the states, the Tenant Far
mers' Association of Texas, are all
on record in favor of this principle.
The Grain Growers Association of
Western Canada favors it, and all
the farming communities of the
three western provinces are now and
for many years have been working
on this principle. No farmer in
Western Canada is penalized by one
cent of tax because he builds house
or barn, raises crops, buys and uses
horses, cattle and machinery.
And why shouldn't the farmers ia.
vor the Jones bills? Under the pre-.
sent system they pay about half the
taxes in the United States, but they
own only about one-tenth of the land
values. The land values are not il
the farms. They are in the cities
the mines, the forests, the waite,
power, and other great natural re-
| sources.
But the Jones bills are only 9
moderate step in this direction, but
they are in the right direction. They
will give the people a chance to test
the principle. If they like it they
| will want more.

GREAT RESOURCE OF STATE
NEEDS PROTECTION

White pine is one of the great nat
ural resources Of Minnesota to be
compared with her iron, her water
power, and her agricultural products.
It is one of the timber trees of the
world and it grows wonderfully we'll
in Minnesota. It is a native of east
ern North America and covers the
northeastern quarter of the United
States and adjacent parts Of Canada.
It has furnished billions of feet of
lumber for the building up of Mime
sofa. 1t has been great natural as
set Of the state. Can it be called an
asset of the future? We know that
the white pine can be raised profit
ably on large areas of land in the
state. Will it be done?
Is fire the only serious enemy? 1t
is not. Another real enemy has ap-
peared in Minnesota-the disease cal
led pine blister rust. Fire can be
prevented. Blister rust, if once we'll
established, can probably never be
eradicated; and, in that event, white
pine will, according to the experience
in the east and in Europe, have to be
eliminated as a future asset of Min
nesota and probably for all time to
come.
Now is the time to act. Every ef-
fort ought to be made to stamp out
the Infection in Minnesota and to
protect the state from any future in
fection.-E. M. Freeman, Minnesota
Experiment Station.

MAY PROTECT GAME BIRDS
FOR PERIOD Of Three YEARS
Legislature Asked for Closed Season
on Partridges and Chickens by
Game League.

Members of the Minnesota state le-
gislature will be asked today to en-
act a law placing a closed season on
partridge, prairie chickens, grouse of
every variety, Chinese ringneck and
English pheasants for period Of
three years, according to an article
in the Duluth Herald. The bill will
receive hearing in the senate cham
Der at 3 o'clock this afternoon, when
it is expected delegates from the Du-
luth branch of the Minnesota Game
Protective League will be present to
urge upon the senators the import
ance of acting favorably upon the
measure.
1t is believed by State Game Com
missioner Carlos Avery that the only
point that will furnish any conten-
ton will be that of closing the sea-
son on prairie chickens, and he has
so informed James A. Lawrie of this
city, one of the officers of the Du-
luth branch.
The salient features of this bill
were commented upon at the annual
meeting Of the Minnesota State
Game and Fish Protective League
held in Duluth last August, when the
| various delegates to the convention
agreed that unless a closed season
of at least three years was placed
on game bird life that partridge,
grouse, prairie chickens and other
birds would be forever wiped out of
| existence.
Duluth sportsmen have favored a
closed period on partridge since two
years ago, when rainy weather and
an exceptionally large slaughter of
the birds depleted their numbers to
such an extent that few of them
were able to survive. 1t is the in.
tention of the sportsman to conserve
the few that remain in the hope of
replenishing their ranks and build.
ing up the coveys to the size that
they were several years ago.
Few cartridges were killed last
fall for the reason that the birds
were so scarce that real sportsmer
refused to shoot at them, preferrine
to give the birds a chance to propa
gate.
A concurrent resolution, memorial.
izing congress to enact an enabling
law making effective the migratory
bird treaty with Canada, will also
be brought up at the Wednesday
meeting in the state senate, the pur.
pose being to remind congressman of
the treaty between the United States
and Great Britain, entered into Aug
%, 1916, and which prohibits the
spring shooting of migratory birds.
