According to the plan, the settlers
will pay four per cent of the cost of
clearing the first year, Is per cent
by the end of the fifth year and the
balance of the cost in a period of 10
years. The county will issue bonds
to cover the cost.
First land to be cleared under the
scheme will be between 500 and 500
acres between Rice lake and Pike lake

it would be a material boost to them

A law passed at the last session of
the Minnesota state legislature gives
the county authority to issue such
bonds and to furnish the capital for
the clearing.

TO ENCOURAGE
CLEARING LAND

The problem of securing the devel-
opment of the logged off lands is one
that is bothersome in Boundary coun-
ty as well as in many other districts
of western states. Middle west states
have made great strides in the past
ten years towards the development OF
logged off lands. A dispatch from
Duluth, Mimi, tells of a plan proposed
whereby a county will finance clear
ing work. If this plan proves practi-
cal and is success there is no reason
why it should not be followed in
Boundary county. The Duluth dis
patch is as follows:
Authorization by the county com
