Although spring isn't here yet, the

house cleaning from top to bottom,
and considerable renovating has been
done, for the historic house is begin

have caused the appearance of the
presidents home to be neglected, and
many buckets of paint have been
used to keep up the custom, made
necessary by our friends the British,
of keeping the White House white.
In the interior of the building, the
historic color schemes, such as lhe
blue and the green rooms have not
been changed, but just here and
there touches have been made to
cover up the marks Of time. lnd1-

BILL LETS COUNTY
CLEAR ALL LAND

ST. PAUL. Feb. 1S.-Senators f. L.
Cliff Of Ortonville and Fred Bessett Q
of Orr. have prepared for introduction
a bill which will permit counties to
remove bodily the fire menacaa OF
out restriction the entire northern
section Of the state to agricultural
settlement.
A bill introduced earlier by Sena-
tor Bessette authorized boards Of
county commissioners to authorize
the clearing of cutover land not to
exceed five acres in every forty upon
application of settlers, the cost to be
levied against the property, to be
paid off by the owners In a twenty
year period. This measure was con-
demned by the judiciary committee.
Then Senator Cliff revised the Bes-
sette bill. practically rewriting into
1t the provisions of the state drain
age law. The new bill provides that
each county undertaking the work
must clear a minimum acreage Of
500 acres. No minimum limit Is
set.
The measure provides that the i'm
proved land shall be assessed for tue
cost of clearing, and the assessment
spread over a term Of twenty years.
Timber but from the land will re-
main in the possession of the county
and may be sold to the highest bid
der. the amount received being cred
tied to the land as an Offset to the
cost of it's improvement. Clearing
may be undertaken by the county
boards at the request Of the owners
of the property. Should county COM
missioners refuse to act favorably
upon such petition, the owner has
the right as under the drainage law,
of appealing to the district court to
compel the county to undertake the
work.
Under the terms of the land set
tlement bill introduced by Senator
Leonard g.. Nord OF Koochiching
county, settlers can borrow money
from the state to stock their farms.
This bill, together with the Cliff
Bessette measure, Legislators believe,
will lead to complete settlement Of
Northern Minnesota within the next
FIVE years.
