HORACE MAYOR TELLS HIS
SIDE OF THE STORY.
Saginaw, Mimi, Feb. II, '19.

Saginaw, Mimi, Feb. IL, 19.
To the Editor of The Rip-saw:
In a recent issue Of the Duluth
Evening Herald, under the head
ing Of Good Spender; Poor
WORKER there appeared the fol-
lowing news item, viz:
Josephine Mavor asserts that her
husband, Horace Mavor, hasn't done
enough work in the past two years
to pay his own board. Not only
that, she continues, in the divorce
action which she filed yesterday, but
the condition of affairs in the Mavor
household is generally known In the
vicinity of Solway, where they live.
She alleges that she has done virtu-
ally all the work on their farm, taken
care of the stock, cut and pitched
hay, plowed, sowed and harvested.
Meanwhile her husband cornered
all the revenue that drifted in from
sale of farm products, she says, and
spent the money quickly and I'M
wisely. She mentions ''other wo-
men" in connection with the spend
ing process. Still she labored along
at the farm, she says. Then the for
est fires came along and now she
hasn't even q farm to keep her mind
of her husbands misdemeanors.

to Fargo, arriving at 10 a. m. At
2 p. m. I was stripped, examined
and signed on to work in a pow
der plant at Nitro, Virginia. Just
had time to write home and send
$3.50. I also bought and paid for
a Liberty bond. My lawyer has
it now.
While at Nitro, I got letter
stating that they were burned
out. I sent more money and then
came home to see if my wife
wished to rebuild. My wife gave
me an icy reception. I asked re-
lief association for an axe, saw
and bed clothes, but got nothing.
I had donated twice to the Red
Cross and a piece Of blue ribbon
cost me SIS. Next I heard that I
was reported as a "slacker. Did

for fear that, perhaps, we might
explode some Of his pet theories
and demonstrate that hardwood
slash will burn.
My friends, what we should do
now is to think and act without
delay. You know as we'll as I that
climatic conditions, combined with
such law, would put us all out OF
business. We settlers must burn
if we are to clear land and hew
out homes in Northern Minnesota.
You further know as we'll as I
that we may set a brush pile burn
ing at 10 o'clock a. m. and be per-
fectly safe but, at II a. M, a
wind springs up too strong for
us and, before we can get help,
the fire gets beyond our control.
At IL o'clock, the forest ranger
arrives and we are started on that
road towards Saltwater, where
thieves, murderers, occasional
bank wreckers and, rarely, recre-
ant public officials eat out their
miserable lives behind stone walls
and iron bars.
" There are other damnable pos
sibilities in such a law but what I
have pointed out is suggestive
enough at present. beg and urge
you, my friends, to get busy. Draw
up petitions to the legislature and
ask the peoples servants therein
to change the present law SO that
our local town boards can control
this fire business. We can RUE our
own affairs without the everlasting
interference from St. Paul. We
have many friends in Southern
Minnesota but we must let them
know what we would have them
do. Get busy, therefore, with your
representatives. Send petitions.
Get rid of the present forestry
farce that is being staged at our
expense.

1t is pretty tough to get wal
lop and not be able to put one over
in return. May I not have space
to tell my side Of this matter.
Last spring, I cut ten cords of
4-foot wood and five cords of
short lengths. got out 300 cedar
posts, cleared one and one-half
acres Of land on my place and
planted over five acres of wheat,
oats, potatoes, barley and ruta-
bagas. On the adjoining farm I
put in ten acres of wheat, oats,
barley, peas, potatoes and ruta-
bagas. I narrowed most Of the
land three times, besides hauling
gravel and manure. I worked for
a party On the Pike Lake road
and plowed and sowed for an
other man. I helped build a sum-
mer cottage. I helped put up hay
on our own place.
I went to Fl. Frances to join
the Canadian army but was re-
jected because Of poor teeth. I
then went to North Dakota where
I worked in the harvest fields and
threshed. Being paid of, I went

The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1919-02-22

The previous issue of the Rip
saw told how the American Red
Cross has roasted a big bunch of
Florence Nightingale brides on the
Fire Relief work. There are 81 of
them in the burned belt. For near
ly three months, on an average, a
bakers dozen of the cultured crea-
lures has been housed at the lux
urious and expensive hotel Spald-
ing. The names of thirteen Of them
were printed in the previous issue
of the Rip-saw.
These Florence Nightingale bird
les are women of high character,
broad education and careful training
in uplift work. Individually and
personally they undoubtedly have
tender hearts and fine instincts.
Their ability and training enable
them to command salaries ranging
from SIS to $3.50 month, with
all expenses.
These women, imported from
New York, Boston, Chicago and
even st. Paul have charge of the
Investigation of the fire sufferers.
Some, undoubtedly, do it with fine
discrimination, while others have
rather nasty ways of speaking to
the poor victims Of the hinterland
fires.
These tender, cultured, even
pampered women have the task OF
securing the backwoods in the dead
of winter. They are almost as well
fitted for a gold rush in Alaska.
They require teams, sleighs and
drivers. All that means mint Of
money, much O. which might better
be risked on fire sufferer without
too close an adherence to the card
index system.
Then what does a cultured wo-
man, from a luxurious home, know
about the people and their life in
Duluth's hinterland? What does
she know of their viewpoints, needs,
notions or manner Of living? There
are many prominent local people
who believe that husky young men,
possibly home guards. motor corps
embers, returned soldiers or even
trained but idle woodsmen would
have been better fitted for the work
of investigation and would have
been entirely available, at much less
expense and even smaller salaries
than the uplift ladies and settle
ment workers from the effete East.
| But, waving all that argument
and admitting that these high
minded women are the very best
material for the work, the system
in vogue at the armory, under the
administration of Little Eva has
fallen far short of making a hit.
Both Duluthians and hinter1and suf-
ferers deprecate and even resent
this lifeless, heartless card index
system and excess Of red tape. Sym
pathy and heart-throbs have been
killed by cold mathematics and life
less records.
Then there is criticism over the
way contributions and purchased
supplies have been handled. On
the start, much secondhand mate
rial, good and disable, was con-
tributed by the public. Some Of
those contributions have been sent
to the dump. Others have been
sold to junk dealers at nominal fig
ures. Still others are piled up in
storage here and there.
One former employe at the arm
DRY tells how a 2-ton truck Of old
shoes was sent to the city dump.
Some of those shoes could have
been cobbled profitab-J and success
fully. Farmers say that they could
have used the mere leather in many

THE SWORD OF GIDEON
FLASHES FORTH.
Mack, 1tasca Co., Mimi,
February 6, 1919.

~, ~~o'
To the Editor Of the Rip-saw:
Iwish to inform the settlers and
fire-sufferers of Northern Mime
sofa that, at the meeting of the
Northern Minnesota DEVELOPMENT
association, held at Grand Rapids
January 1916, the delegates
passed a resolution, asking the
present legislature to pass a law,
making it a penitentiary ofense
for anyone to let fire get beyond
! control and subjecting a c,1aprit
to triple damages in addition to
confinement at Saltwater.
Those Of you who have read my
letters in the Open Court of the
Duluth Evening Herald will recall
my assertion to the effect that the
state forestry service seeks power
and money enough to railroad
every settler in Northern Mime
sofa to the Saltwater penitentiary
as a proper and effective solution
of the fire menace in the timbered
regions.
Many Of you have thought that I
was jumping at conclusions and
talking extravagantly, but what
do you think Of it now9 There is
concrete evidence of the truth of
my assertions.
You settlers, who have toiled for
years among the difficulties Incl
dent to the conversion Of timbered
lands into farming lands, need to
get your eyes open. You who have
suffered the unspeakable hardships
Of pioneer life and who have con-
tributed so freely Of your time
and energy to develop Northern
Minnesota, an inhospitable region
in it's virgin condition, would
stand a splendid chance, under
such a law as the one proposed,
to spend a goodly number Of your
declining years within the gray
walls of the Saltwater prison, pro-
teges of that benevolent (?) clique
at St. Paul, the members of which
have bounded our every effort of
development and hindered US at
every turn Of the road.
They do not wish to see North
ern Minnesota developed into a
wonderful farming and dairying
country. 1t looks to me as if they
wish to keep this great region as
a playground for themselves and
their pet gun clubs. 1t hurts the
state forester more to hear Of the
loss of a few seeding pines than
if every settler in Northern Min
nesota had to move out.
My friends, I am speaking to
you as one of you. I have lived
for eleven years under the same
conditions as you have lived. My
little home here at Mack is sur
rounded by slashings Of several
years. accumulation. Had they
caught fire last October 11-12, /
would have been sent "West"
with my family, along with that
great host around Moose Lake.
Yes, the state forester says that
the slash which surrounds my
home is not dangerous because it
is made of hardwood and will not
burn, yet he proposes to forbid me
or my neighbors to burn said slash
