mailed, the Rip-saw office received {
card from Cloquet, saying that twt
packages Of papers, addressed t.
"Blair,' remained unclaimed in tha'
office and that they would be returned
on receipt Of 3S cents for postage.
Last Saturday, June 81, a represen
tative of the Rip-saw was in Cloquet
He found out that Blair had calico
Friday and at various times up tt
Saturday night for the papers, always
being Informed that they were not
there.
Later, the postmaster claimed that
he had sent Blair a notice, at later
date, but no such notice ever was re
ceived and Cloquet is not large. Neither
are the Rip-saw and James Blair
Cloquet agent, at all unknown.
Agent Blair secured those two
bundles of Rip-saws on Saturday, june
81, one full week and day over, after
they were deposited in the Duluth
office.
That certainly is fine service. Presi
dent Wilson and postmaster-genera
Burleson yet will hear Of the prompt
delivery service in the Cloquet post
office.
"But why should Col. Scheibe, Clio
quet' postmaster under a democratic
administration, feel impelled to give
the worst of it to paper like the
Rip-saw, edited by real American
not a naturalized one, and consistent
supporter Of president Wilson in al
things worth while?" some reader
asks.
Here's the meat in the nut:
State senator Vibert has worn out
his welcome with the masses in Carl
ton county. 1t is possible, too, that ne
has made his pile, by grace OF the
Lumber Barons in that burg. Pos
sibly he plans to retire and 60 back to
his ancestral castle in the old country
Be that as it may, the Big Interests
in that senatorial district must shuttle
the cards and cut for new deal. A
good way to throw dust into the peo
ple's eyes will be to run Col. Scheloe
an alleged democrat, for the state sen
ate after M 'sieu Vibert gets through
That's the present plan, dear old
reader. There is way to kill cat
besides choking it on butter and there
are ways for Big Interests to get a
representative into the legislature with
out sending one who is republican OF
who plainly wears the corporation
brand.
Col. Scheibe may not be branded
with a big "W" on his forehead, but
he IS credited with having that letter
indelibly stamped on his brain and
heart.
Cloquet friends of the Rip-saw shall
have their paper if it has to 60 by
express or even that big Duluth-Clo'
Quet notorious.

The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1919-06-28

Only a few weeks ago, the dear old
News Tribune tried to throttle the
Rip-saw by refusing to print it after
June l. That was only two weeks
notice and there we're grave doubts
as to the ability Of the publishers to
find other printing facilities in this
city.
The News Tribune, through the Heir
Apparent, intimated that lack Of print
ing facilities made it imperative to
cease doing the Rip-saw's mechanical
work, although an l. w. w. paper was
not shut out and, since then, the con-
tract has been renewed for another
year, unless a. News Tribune employe
prevaricates.
Since the Rip-saw has gone to an
other shop and surprised its readers
by appearing much more neatly print
ed. members of the News Tribune staff
have admitted to different Duluthians
that the Great Family Journal was
turned down because of pressure from
different directions by powerful and
Influential Big Interests.
These Food Hogs, Fat Boys, Labor
Haters and Autocrats are just un-
American enough to try to run anyone
out of town whom they cannot control
or who may expose their netarlous
ways.
But the publisher Of the Rip-saw
saw this comfortable summer climate
before many of those who fain would
throttle the Great Family Journal,
therefore he expects to be here until
he takes that last, long, rough ride out
to Forest Hill.
Since the News Tribune could not
throttle the publication of the Rip
saw in Duluth, postmaster Scheibe
seems to be trying to please the Big
Interests by stopping its circulation
in oCloquet.
For many months, now, from 500
to 800 copies of each issue Of the
Rip-saw have been sold, circulated and
read in Cloquet, the baronial burg OF
the Weyerhaeusers.
One Scheibe is postmaster at Clo-
auet and, as he we'll knows, papers
have been regularly consigned to and
received by James Blair.
Last week, two fat bundles of the
Rip-saw consigned to Cloquet were ad-
dressed to "Blair, Agent for the Rip
saw The bundles did not 60 out
until Friday and the clerk who ad-
dressed them did not know Mr.. Blair g
first name, James, therefore used the
name "Blair'' and added the fact that
he was agent for the Rip-saw. Post
master Scheibe may claim that the
address was indefinite but Col. Henry
would call onto the carpet clerk in
the Duluth office who failed in the
delivery of package similarly ad-
dressed.
Under date of June 10, six days
after the Cloquet bundles had been

POSTMASTER AT CL0QUET HOLDS UP THE RIP SAW

"Last Sunday I was shown further
concrete evidences of soil destruction
caused by the fires in the vicinity of
Cloquet, where thousands of acres
have been made worthless in a manner
similar to those cited in the foregoing
paragraphs. One farmer ironically
showed me the folly of supplying seed,
which, he said, the relief commission
was now trying to unload on him, by
waving his hand over 4O-acre field,
which the most optimistic boomer
would now admit could not grow ton
Of fodder in the next generation. Can
any man with brains determine where
the compensation for these fire out
RACES comes in, as Mr.. Mahnke at
tempted to show some gullible cub
reporter in the Twin Citiess
"Now let us briefly consider where
the compensation for losses in the
small villages and towns comes in, &C.
cerding to Mr.. Mahnke. What was
the improvement made by the fires as
he would have a blind public lead to
believer Was the real estate made
more valuable, did it resurrect the
homes, the business houses, the public
buildings, street improvements etc.'
Let the reader remember that the fire
took toll of all. Farm and city and
village homes and business houses suf-
fered to the extent of $25,0O0,O00 or
$50, 100000. I would like to have Mr..
Mahnke particularize as to just how
these losses were compensated for by
the fires, or tell me the name of the
special brand of oil Of gladness that
produces such wonderfully clever
ideas.''
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1919-06-28

could see Mr.. Mahnke's great fire
benefit, as wisely expounded in the
Twin Cities press.
"This man, C. F. Mahnke, is the
same who made such a "brilliant ef-
fort' before a legislative committee
last winter in behalf of the Infamous
motor corps bill. Mr.. Mahnke is a
highly popular and well thought of
citizen, according to the daily press
of Duluth, which frequently extols his
great virtues.
"The day following my visit to
Moose Lake was spent at Atkinson,
where I was again shown the damag-
ing effect of the fire upon the soil Of
Carlton county. One Of the oldest
settlers in that part Of the county, one
OF the progressive farmers Of the state,
showed me over his farm of 24O acres,
an 80 of which had been almost COM
pletely ruined by the fires. This 80
acre field had black muck soil and
the fires had so honeycombed it with
holes Of various depths that the entire
tract was virtually ruined. In spots,
sometimes as much as an acre in ex-
tent, all that was left remaining on
the subsoil was a bed of whitened
boulders. A soil expert, with whom
discussed this particular case of soil
damage few days later, told me that
the rehabilitation of this field would
cost at least twice as much as the land
in its formerly cultivated state was
worth. This quite forcibly explains
the complete loss of what was once a
valuable farm asset to the state as
we'll as the owner.

THE LATE FOREST FIRES
DAMAGED THE FARM SOILS
Moose Lake Mahnke Recently Brought Grin to Farmers
Faces by Assertion That Farm Lands Were
Greatly Helped by Forest Fires.

Mahnke of Moose Lake delivered him
self of some remarks on the value of
the forest fires to the northern part
of the state. He was quoted by one
of the Twin Cities dailies as having
said substantially that, aside from the
loss Of human lives, the burned-over
area of these northeastern counties
had been benefited sufficiently by the
sweeping flames to entirely compen-
safe for the losses Of property.
"That such reasoning is ridiculous
is averred by a number of intelligent
citizens of Moose Lake with whom I
discussed this eruption of Moose Lake s
great editorial mind, while viewed the
remains last week and interviewed
some of the survivors of the great fire
in that town.
CT suggested that Mr.. Mahnke prob
ably meant that the cleanup of the
slashing conditions existing, the burn
ing of underbrush, and what he might
consider soil Improvement, by reason
of the fires work, was what he was
driving at when he talked to the Twin
Cities scribe, whereupon one of my
informants Immediately invited me to
accompany him into the country where
he could show me exactly what the
fires accomplished.
"There was shown, as I have been
upon innumerable occasions since the
fire, just how the country has suf-
fered by being robbed of crop-growing
elements of the soil, rendered danger
GUS for the pasturing of cattle, and
made almost impossible of rehabilita.
ton. was shown hundreds of acres,
which were once valuable meadow
land, producing either hay, or being
used for pasture, where the fires had
so eaten down through the black soil,
to a depth Of two or three feet in a
honeycombed fashion, SO that virtually
one-half or more Of the area was
rendered unfit for croppage. The per-
centage Of destroyed surface varied in
different places, but in almost every
case there was an appreciable soil
damage. In ona Of these places, one
OF my guides asked me whether

He stated that "Help from the bust
ness people in this connection has been
very encouraging"
Reports were briefly made on the
different departments, physical edu-
cation, penmanship, drawing and in
dustrial art, music, kindergarten and
primary supervision.
There was the customary statistical
report on medical inspection and from
the attendance officer.
Supt. Hoke reported that Is schools
had, up to June 6, filed their garden
enrolment cards; showing a total en-
rollment of OF. Nine schools then
had not reported, but their additional
enrolment was expected to bring the
total up to about 400.
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1919-06-28

Before last November's state cleo
ton, Gov. Burnquist sent personal
representatives through the burned
areas in northern Minnesota, urging
the farmers to stick to their ruined
homes and promising them substan-
tial restoration of their burned pos
sessions.
After reelection, Gov. Burnquist
quickly lost interest in the forest fire
victims. He practically ignored them
and their needs in his message to the
legislature. 1t is true that the state
provided nearly two million of dollars
for relief but that was only tenn
porary, not any two evenly distributed
and it served only to pull the people
through a miserable winter, leaving
them in a very Indifferent condition
when the farming season opened.
Congressman Carss has been collect
ing data for the purpose of asking
congress for a relief appropriation of
not less than $5,O00,000. If he fails
Of success, the forest fire sufferers
must, henceforth, depend exclusively
on their own efforts and resources.
As result of all this, many who
pulled through miserable winter,
hoping for better things in the spring,
now are moving away. Their lands
will stand there idle unless unloaded
onto some newcomer at q sacrifice
figure.
Damage to soil is one feature that
has not had much attention. In scores
of suits that undoubtedly will be
brought against railroad and lumber
companies for damages as result Of
the forest fires, soil damage will play
an important part.
Now comes Col. Mahnke, editor Of q
paper at Moose Lake and a member
OF the Minnesota Forest Fires Relief
Association, with the peculiar idea
that the fires really were a benefit,
barring the loss Of human life. A
writer in the Minnesota Leader dis
cusses the situation in most interest
ing manner, as follows:
"Several weeks ago Editor c. F.

The previous issue of the Rip-saw
reported that about 8 per cent Of the
teachers in the public schools had
automatically resigned by failure tc
sign contracts for another year OF
service. In addition to that, OF
course, other teachers have resigned in
a direct and formal manner. There
is something in the educational atmos
phere in this city that repels rather
than attracts teachers.
Lack of space in the previous issue
of the great family journal prevented
publication of the list Of automatic
designations. Supt. Hoke will have tc
make many trips away in alleged
search Of new teachers to fill such
gaps if they grow any wider. But
all that is another story. Here's the
promised list, viz:

BOT TIRE SERVICE

Did you ever see fire engine leave for an alarm in the business district? Well that's just the way the S07 Tire Service has, trained their service drivers to an- swer the call of the unfortunate motor car owner. If it's a blowout or bad pune ture it is almost impossible for the owner to repair it, so he calls S07 Tire Service, the tire man comes in a hurry and you are off in a hurry. This service is con dueted by the Blacklock-Posner Tire company, one of the oldest tire concerns in Alabama, and with their reputation for fair dealing and giving service they have gained the confidence of the auto mobile owner who has traded with them. They are the distributors for the Hood tires and Curtis tires.
