be agreeable to make a national
park out of the strip of land north
of the Superior National forest up
to the border.
If Mr.. Vibert had ever been up
over this strip of land he would
know that the pine was cut clean
by the Swallow & Hopkins Co.
twenty years ago, and that the fol-
lowing forest fires swept it so clean
that all of the soil was burned.
leaving nothing but the bare jag
ged rocks as devoid of vegetation
as the Sahara desert. A fine place
to cut out for park. The only
asset there is the boundary waters
and the iron ore which is known to
exist in unlimited quantities. Mr..
Vibert is voicing a splendid idea
for the landholders who are now
paying taxes for the sake of chances
of mineral development to get out
of paying those taxes. Give the
government the land for a park
and reserve the mineral rights and
AahC SOuAty WOuA0At SSt q hkShiS
of revenue out of that area too.
One of the Merits opened his heart
about two years ago and gave the
biggest part of Isle Royale to the
government for "a national park
for the same purpose. When these
birds let their generosity grow to
the extent that they will let their
mineral rights go with their gifts
to the government, we will begin
to believe in their sincerity. This
is a great idea that has trickled into
Mr.. Vibert's brain, and Lake county
taxpayers who are now paying the
fifth highest tax rate in the state
cannot fail to appreciate it. Don't
include a tree that the lumber COM
panies want in the park idea, but
give us this rocky, barren waste
that will take a million of years of
erosion before there will be enough
soil on it to grow tree again.

FOREST FIRE SCORE
HEAVY IN 1926

Forest fires caused IA m g e
amounting to approximately $27,-
000,00O in the United States in
1926. This immense loss resulted
from 1880 fires which burned
over $4,000, 600 acres Of lands Of
the country. More than ~ per
cent of the fires are known to have
been caused by man, and IL per
cent by lightning; the causes of a
little over Is per cent are not
known. Careless smokers lead all
others as forest incendiaries with
a known total of 5.625 fires or over
16 per cent Of all; railroads come
next with 13 per cent, and brush
burning is the third most import
ant cause with IL per cent.

perpetuate, not destroy the forests.
-Skillings' Mining Review.
Brush Away The Camouflage.
We can't entirely agree with the
"Save> the Superior Forest COM
mittee which originally had for it's
plan the setting aside of 1900, 900
acres to include the Superior Ma
tional forest an a large part of
Cook, Lake and ST.. Louis counties
-. a public park.
And it is no less difficult to agree
with the Minnesota Arrowhead as
ISOLATION, which in counter attack
ing this proposal infers that most
of the mature and beautiful stand
ing timber in this section must be
harvested in order to properly put
the forestry amendment into effect
There appears to be a bit of
canounage about this argument that
ought to be brushed away.
To retain the Superior National
forest in all it's glory it is certainly
as essential to retain a considerable
part of the virgin standing timber
in that area as it is to stop Backus
from making simpl, reservoirs of
the border lakes to enhance his
power projects.
Not so many months ago there
was movement on foot to build
some roads near me forest for a
few of the settlers and there was a
strong wave of protest that the for
est would be ruined by such a
move. Now when the Weyerhauser
interests want to extend 26 miles
of logging railroad through the for
est there comes to their defense
spokesman who were conspicuous by
their silence when settlers roads
were proposed. To choose between
the lesser of the two evils-to most
folks who want to see the forest re-
main a wilderness mere roads have
been classed as evils-would GER
tainly be to choose public high
way.
Cloquet makes a vigorous protest
against those who would step the
Weyerhauser plans, stating that the
lifeblood of that city is dependent
upon the timber which this railroad
will tap. That argument would be
more effective if it had not been
previously used. About seven or
eight years ago the last beautiful
stand of virgin pine in the White
face district on the Vermilion trail
was cut. Considerable effort was
made to preserve a strip Of this
timber along the road for it's beauty,
but the Weyerhauser interests re-
piled that the city of Cloquet had
been rebuilt largely on the strength
of such stands. One suggestion
made was that the state take over
strip of forty rods or thereabouts
along the road and in return re-
place the same amount of timber
for the company in some other To-
cation not so much desired for it's
beauty but this suggestion also met
with no reception.
No one wants to cripple Cloquet
or any other saw mill or numbering
town, but it is we'll to remember
that the Superior National forest is
eminently fitted for a wilderness
playground and it's worth as such is
beyond estimation.
While two million acre park
would take in too much territory
it might be well to set aside some of
the most desirable territory including
good canoe routes and administer
it as park and not for timber cut
ting, although forestry methods
would be in use when timber be-
comes over mature by the selective
cutting process.-Ev.Ieth News.

THOMPSON HOME
BURNS AT FINLAND

The home of Walter Thompson
was completely destroyed at Finland
on October 10, with the loss of all
the household effects. Mrs. Thomp-

time and the daughter at the home
of Andrew Sonju. Mr.. Thompson
had prepared some food on an oil

District National Guard

troops. This expense, il was pointed
| out. might better be transferred to
transportation, and allow the troops
to get farther away from Their home
station for their annual encampment.
III they went to Virginia Beach they
would live in tents, but there has been
a suggestion that if they go to
Humphreys this year this amount
could be saved by putting the troops
n tents there. However, about the
only place for tents at this post Is on
the parade grounds and there is Oh
lection TO using these grounds for
camping purposes.
Plans are being formulated by the
officials OF the Engineer Regiment for
holding examinations in the near fu-
ture for the establishment of an eligi-
BILE list from which will be selected
men to FIJI the grade of second lieu
tenants of Engineers as vacancies
occur in the 121st Regiment.
During the recent hearings before
the subcommittee on appropriations
handling the District expense bill. the
@uggestion was made by Representa-
tive. Simmons that IL the local Ma
tional Guard had been decided by the
oaniz.tion 1t should be transferred
20 the War Department and taken
off the District pay roll. but Maj.
Gen. Anton stephan, comma nding
the local organization, pointed out
that there was no National Guard on
The Federal pay roll. Mr.. Simmons
said that the National Guard was
held a Federal organization SO that
the National Government would carry
4 part of the expense that normally
should be carried by the municipal
government.
Carrying out his argument further.
Mr.. Simmons said that if this Guard
was a Federal organization it should
go TO the War Department and then
let that Federal branch come to Con-
gress and obtain funds with which to
provide an aI1nory. Gen. Stephan
pointed out. however, that the munich.
nal government now bears a part of
che expense of the local National
Guard 1t also was disclosed at the
hearings that the District government
is paying rent for the use of the Gov
eminent hotel quarters on the Capitol
Union Station Plaza, which 1t is now
using for armory purposes.
