FOR RETURNED SOLDIERS.

A preliminary survey OF every coun-
ty in ClOverland Is now being made
by the department of interior through
the several county clerks in order that
a bill may be offered to Congress pro-
yiding for governmental assistance to
returning soldiers who may want to
take agricultural pursuits.
Francis II. Murray OF ST. Paul, has
made a hasty trip into Cloverland
seeking general information on cut
over lands. He has charge Of gather
ing necessary data for the department
OF the interior in the cut-oyer regions
OF Minnesota, Wisconsin and Glover
land When his data IS completed II
will be sent TO Washington and there
incorporated into plan for assisting
returning soldiers.
Canada has already begun its work
OF putting soldiers on unoccupied
lands. The plan is working so well
that. the United States hopes to &C
complish similar results. Just how
the government will assist is unknown
Before this plan is announced, great
mass OF information must be secured.
The auctions when every county
celrk must answer are difficult and
any persons having information are
earnestly sought. Cooperation with
the county clerk at once may mean a
great impetus to these counties in the
way OF developing the waste lands.
