TOURIST TRAVEL IS
WORTH TEN MILLION
This is Estimate Of Authorities on
lmportan Industry

ampGFta tant In0uStry
According to reports from St. Paul
100000 tourists came to Minnesota
in 1920. This had an estimated value
of no less than ten million dollars ac-
cording to those who have studied
the tourist trade and conditions.
Many of these tourists came through
Northern Minnesota as the land of
lakes has been the main attraction
for the state and it IS estimated that
n6 less than 10000 came through
Grand Rapids and Itasca County.
That this tourist business will in
crease is the opinion of those who are
studying the situation. Good roads
will improve conditions and the wide
advertising given the state through
the Ten Thousand Lakes association
brings thousands of inquiries each
month ,r r"
The Grand Rapids Commercial club
has a. committee at work making
plans for, reception of tourists here
during the coming summer For
those who cannot secure accommo-
dations at local hotels, or who might
desire to camp out, some site will be
secured with conver,iences for those
who travel. It is undecided as yet,
exactly what will be done, but sew
seral hundred IN dollars has been pro-
vided for this purpose from the Com
mercial budget Grand - Rapids

STATE PROPOSES MINERAL
LEASE FOR STATE LANDS

der on Sliding Scale
One of the most important pieces
of legislation now being considered
at St. Paul is that in reference to q
new mineral lease. The state owns
thousands Of acres of land contain.
ing iron ore. A large amount of this
lard is Under lease for mining pur.
poses, but there have been no min
eral leases since about fifteen years
ago when leases on the present prop
critics were executed. A committee
Investigating the subject of state
leases concluded that new lease
law would be highly desirable at this
time and the legislature is now ap'
proving bill drawn by that com.
mittee and the state authorities
The proposed lease law is much
like that one which was in effect be
fore. Fifty years: is given for the re.
moval of the ore and certain mini.
NUNS must be paid. The ore must
be mined in general conformity tc
the lease and to the regulations of
the state mining department. How.
ever, there are two important feat.
ures. The royalty ON the ore is not
set, but the property is to be giver
to the mining opera tors who will
pay tn most. This means that the
state will get the largest possible
amount due to competitive condi
tioms. Furthermore the royalty is
to be paid upon a sliding scale de.

American Treasury Officials Fall 20
Recall Proposition to Clean Slate
-Enqland's Indebtedness.
About $4,000, 100000.

Birmingham, England-The British
government formally proposed cancel
lation of all inter-Allied debts. but the
proposal was unacceptable to the
American government, said J. Austin
Chamberlain, chancellor of the exche-
Quer, in a. speech to his constituents
here.
"To make them again." Mr.. Cham
berla1n continued, would be, think,
beneath our dignity and would make
us liable to a misconception of our
motive"
"In making them," he added, 1--WE
sought no national advantage for our
selves. We proposed a solution in
which we should have foregone claims
larger than RENTED to US and we
proposed it because we believed it
would be in the interests of good rela-
tions among peoples, the rehabilita-
tion of national credit and the restora-
tion of International trade.
"Our great international debt is due
to the obligations we undertook on
behalf of our Allies. If we had mad
only ourselves to consider we should
have been virtually free of external
debt at the present time.'
Mr.. Chamberlain prefaced his re-
marks by saying he would have pre-
ferred at the close of the war that
the whole inter-allied debt had been
Cancelled, so as to start with a clean
slate. There was no proposal for a
settlement of the international debt
among the Allied and Associated
powers, whether for a total or partial
remission, which the British, govern.
ment would not have been prepared
to be party to, he declared.
No Official Proposal Recalled.
Washington-Trea officials re-
fused to comment on the statement
OF the British chancellor Of the exche-
quer, J. Austen Chamberlain, in an ad-
dress at Birmingham, England, that
the United States government refused
to accept British government proposal
$hat the inter-Allied debts arising from
the World war be Cancelled.
No officials here are aware, it ap-
pears, that the British government had
ever, through any official channel, pro-
posed remission or cancellation of
the British war debt to. the United
States. Great Britainss indebtedness
of about $4,o0O,000,0Oo is far larger
than that of any other OF the Allied
countries, but this is explained by the
fact that Great Britain herself was a
creditor country, and had disbursed
American funds to her other allies

Report Of United States eovernmesi
Not Encouraqin4 to Growers

~ : ItTE.-
Not Encouraging to. Growers
Information was received this week
which does not give encourag cement
to the potato grower. Government
reports show that. but a small part
of the crop has been sold and; figures
for some of the states are as follows:
Maine 88 per cent, New York so
per cent, Pennsylvania 81 per cent,
Michigan 33 per cent, Wisconsin 8s
per cent, Colorado 90 per cent, Wash
ington 80 per cent, Minnesota 80 per
cent. = ~ \ ~ =;ss-*:z$ ;s-z:= :~5 s: -:
260,000,00O bushels Of potatoes now
remain in the hands of the growers.
About 80 per cent of the years crop
is unmoved in this state at this time.
Approximately SO per cent only
should be in the hands of the growers
and throughout the country instead
of 250,0O0,000 bushels on hand, $780,
100000 should remain. - +.
These statistics are discouraging
for those who anticipate high prices
this spring. At the present time, 80
cents a bushel is being paid on the
Grand Rapids market and there is
little demand for potatoes even at
this price. The market in Duluth is
about 80 cents a hundred delivered
there and about the only potatoes
sold now are those which are being
disposed of on the Mesaba range.
Even that market is overcrowded,
Eaccording to potato dealers.
