 A few months ago, his parents de cided to send him back to the coun- try of hts birth and made arrange ments with relatives in this city to have him come here. At the same time he received notice from the military authorities that being Of eonscriptlon age he was to appear at the nearest military office and begin his two year term Of compul sorry service. He protested on the ground that he was an American citizen. but could not produce suf- ficent evidence 10 satisfy the author lties.

ST. LOUIS COUNTY NEEDS
LAND SETTLEMENT POLICY.

"St. Louis County has 80 townships
which are only partly settled with the
number of settlers in each township
ranging from, 9 to 100" Executive
Director Vibert of the Minnesota Ar
rowhead Association. told the legisla-
ton and taxation committee OF the
Duluth Chamber of Commerce and in
connection he presented statistical
evidence of the need of a land settle
ment policy.
The taxable valuation of these town.
ships, MIR. Vibert pointed out. is from
$4,000 to $4,000 with a tax rate of
from 70 to 90 mills. In southern Min
.nesota, where townships are complete
ly settled, the valuation is $500, 900 and
the tax rate 46 mills on general
average.
The remaining townships in the
country, continued Mr.. Vibert, are in
the plated portion, including the iron
district. and are not settled at all
Lands which have reverted to the
state because. of delinquent taxes, !"
said Mr.. Vibert. now total 413,957
acres. This is over, .one-tenth of the
total acreage of the county which is
approximately 100000 acres. In adj
dition, there are, 418,O48 acres which
belong to the state, and 287,1l1 acres
set aside for Indian reservations and
other uses, which do not pay income
to the county" -

managed forests, the revenue of which
would go toward the upbuilding of the
educational opportunities of the peo-
pie of the State, and the timber from
them to maintain the wheels of in
dustry in continuous operation.
Although the, Federal government
already has close to million acres in
its National Forests in Minnesota,
there is room to increase this area of
National Forests, particularly in the
region of Lake Superior and elsewhere,
up to 8 million acres.
The bulk of 7, Minnesota,s timber
lands will. still remain in private
hands and it will be, largely up to the
initiative of these private owners that
the State must look for the regaining
by Minnesota of the prominent place
it once had in the lumber industry of
the country. With Statewide fire
protection, supplemented by fire-pro-
tectiye associations of timber owners
themselves, and with workable, prac-
teal forest tax law on our statute
books. and with faith in the use of
wood as indispensable to modern civil
lization, there is every hope that the
private land owners will be as keen
in holding their land for future forest
production as public agencies them
selves.
The State will gradually outgrow its
belief that only protection of cut-over
land from fire will regain for this
State, leading position in the timber
industry of the country. Fires have
replaced our original forests of Nor
way and white pine with popple.
(aspen) and jack pine; protection
from fire will merely increase our
stands of these inferior woods, but
will not bring back the fine forests of
Norway and white pine for which this
State was once famous-at least not
within the time measured by human
life. Planting. and planting on a large
scale, will be practiced not only on
public forest land but also. on private
forest lands. I am certain that Min
nesota will not lag behind the other
states in its forest planting program.
At present, planting in the State, is
almost Insignificant, and those who
would like to plant forests have not
the means for securing plentiful, and
cheap supply of planting material.
can clearly see the time when Min
nesota, like Michigan, Pennsylvania
and New York, will plant at least
$4,000 acres a year, that its nurseries
will be turning out every year 30 to
40 million trees for planting in this
State. This is not dream--it is well
within the realization of the next 5
or 10 years.
But above all, look to the time
when the people of Minnesota will be- |
come "forest-minded" and will regard
forest development as the most con-.
structiye public. activity in the State,
and will back it up to the limit. Near
ly 100 years ago, great French states
man, Colbert, said, France, without
forests, will perish. Minnesota is
confronted with similar dilemma
France has solved her forest problem,
and so will Minnesota, because that
is the only way in which its future
prosperity can be safe-guarded.

A Glance Into the
Future of Forestry.
BY Raphael Zon, Director Lake States
Forest Experiment Station

Two roads are open to this State ir
it's attitude towards its forest wealth
| One road leads to complete depletion
of Minnesota's forests and dependence
of the wood using industries of the
State upon raw materials imported
from Canada, the Pacific Coast, or the
South. The other, road leads to the
preservation and development of hel
own timber resources and indepen.
dence of her industries based upon
home grown materials.
The first road is fraught with in
stability, uncertainty, and lack of
sound development Minnesota is en-
dowed with wonderful natural re-
sources: fertile soil, land most won
derfully adapted to timber growing,
Mines lakes, and God-fearing people
who love the land their forefathers
settled. 1t is hard to conceive of any
permanent industry that is not rooted
in the soil of the State itself. The
second of the two roads is the one to
economic independence, to permanent,
stable industries, based on wood as it's
staple raw material, such as sawmills,
pulp and paper plants and many
other wood using industries
There is no doubt in my mind which
road the people of Minnesota will
eventually take. There may be occa-
sional halts in the development of the
forest resources of our State, some
confusion or hesitancy, but in the long
run. the common sense of the people
will assert itself.
1 can visualize, therefore, that a
great part of the 81 million acres of
forest land, which is unsuited to agri-
culture, will be eventually bearing
merchantable timber of as good quail
ity as in the past.
In this work of retaining our cut
over and burned land into forest pro-
ductivity, the Town, County, the State,
Municipality, Federal government and
private owner of land will all have
their share. I can visualize many
town and county forests, which, like
in Switzerland, will dot the vast ex-
panse of our State. These town and
county forests will be a source of
revenue to the local communities just
as they are in Europe instead of a
burden as the tax delinquent, cut
over lands are at present.
There is no douh., that the State in
the near future will adopt definite
and aggressive policy, for putting its
own forest holdings in order. The
State Forests, of which Minnesota has
some 100000 acres will be put under.
forest management. The remaining
State-owned forest lands will be block
ed out in large contiguous areas, and
whether organized into State forests
or not, will be handled as continuous
forest property and not merely as a
mine to be worked out and left to its
own fate. This State, by exchange
or even direct purchase, should have
eventually 2 to 3 million acres of well
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1928-04-27

but the rangers and the public must
be, so organized and equipped that the
quickest and most practical action
can be taken once fire starts.
Forest fire lookout stations, tower
ing above the forests with their look
out watchmen, ever on guard for
smokes must eventually be increased
to where the entire forest area can
be kept under direct observation at
all times during dangerous weather
Of fire seasons. These stations can
only properly function when they have
direct or quick telephone connection
with the ranger or other forest officers.
AT these lookout stations, smoke clas-
ers" should be in readiness with shock
troop equipment. The first half hours
work on a fire generally counts for
more than the ten hours following.
Fire suppression will always be a
partial failure until the detection sys-
tenn is adequate and prompt, and the
forces completely supplied with the
best and most effective equipment
available. The forest ranger in his
fire. suppression duties is very compar-
able to city department. except he
often has to go fifty to a hundred
miles, on uncertain roads and trails
or by canoe.
pplementary to Preparedness for
action or warning Of danger days
and hours, primary lookout stations or
ranger stations over the State will be
equipped with weather instruments so
that hourly readings can be taken.
Small burning tests will be carried on
under forest conditions to keep close
watch on inf1ammability. Forecasts
from the data obtained viii warn the
fire suppression forces as well as any
one using fire at that time. The Uni
ted States Weather Bureau is now CO.
operating by putting special men on
fire weather studies and forecasting
danger days.
Minnesota's forest laws do not need
a great deal of revising or strengthen
ing, but public sentiment and better
reaction in all the courts is necessary
to make them effective. The law en-
forcement problem is best carried on
as an educational feature Support
for forest protection and management
depends quite materially on a well
directed and comprehensive educa-
tionai program.

Forest Conservation
and Tourists.
BY H. c. Hotaling, Ten Thousand
Lakes Assn.

4
| Next to our ten thousand lakes
themselves there is probably nothing
quite as important in the attracting
! of tourists to Minnesota as our forests
In fact, our lakes would lose most OF
, their attractiveness were we to remove
, the forests from their shores,
Forests contribute greatly to those
| things that go to make summer
playground interesting. The trees
themselves add to the beauty OF the
landscape. They offer protection to
the birds and animals They even af-
ford a certain amount of food for the
fishes in the depths of the lakes. In
times of freShets they hold the waters
in scattered reservoirs preventing
great floods In times of drought they
gradually release these waters, keep
ing lakes and streams levels closer to
normal than they would be if the
country were denuded of trees.
Thus the forests from the viewpoint
of their value in the conservation OF
game and fish are tremendously inn
portant, because people from the large
cities of the United States, from which
Minnesota draws great percentage
of her summer visitors, are interested
in the creatures of the wild and the
beauties of nature to be found in the
forests.
We, who are constantly in touch
with the tourist business of the State
find that summer visitors, from the
cities are deeply interested in explor-
ing the woods, either by hiking or
canoeing. In this way they have an
opportunity to study nature in way
that they could not do by motoring.
They enjoy tracing the delicate per-
fume of the trailing arbutus to its
source; they like to study the habits
of the various animals and birds.
The rabbit eating clover at the road
side, or the partridge hurrying her
brood to safety thrills them. The
sight of fawn gives them something
to talk about all the next winter.
The forest yields material to the
man who wants to build log cabin,
and this type of summer abode is in
great demand with many tourists. 1t
protects the cabin from the heat of
the sun during the day. 1t beauti-
fies the shoreline of the lake on which
the cabin is located and offers whole
education in nature to children and
grown folks as WELL
In recent years we have constantly
been reminded by tourists that one of
the reasons they are coming to Min
nesota is because the lakes here still
have trees on their shores Not only
has this been an important factor in
attracting tourists here as visitors, but
it has also been aNsplendid induce
ment to the man seeking a site for
summer home.
Lakeshore denuded of its trees is
lifeless and holds little appeal to the
man looking for a place to build a
summer home. Trees, unlike most
other vegetation require many years
of growth before they become large
enough to be of value. Therefore,
conservation of the trees which we
now have is of more importance in
our reforestation scheme than the
planting of new trees.
Several years ago the state of Min
nesota very wisely withdrew all its
lakeshore timber from the market,
and today lakeshore tracts may be
leased from year to year as summer
