MINNESOTA WILL
MOVE TO ALASKA
Colony to Include Persons
on Relief in Northern
Counties of State

A contingent of 81 rural fami-
lies from Minnesota's cutover
area has been tentatively select
ed to join groups from other
states in starting life anew in
Alaska under a comprehensive,
government-financed plan, it is
announced by Charles st. Denis,
secretary, Rural Rehabilitation
corporation.
Thorough investigation of ELI
gibles was conducted for some
time by the SERA's rural reha-
bilitation and social service divi-
sions. Choice was limited to
families whose heads are between
the ages of 25 and 35, in good
health and able and Wiling to
brave and endure the hardships OF
northern life. They must agree
in writing to stay in Alaska, once
they have located there.
The states candidates for this
venture come from the following
nine counties in the northeast
section: Pine, Carlton, Itasca,
Koochiching, Beltrami, Lake OF
the Woods, Cass, Mile Laos and
Kanabec. Final acceptance OF
nominees rests with the Alaska
Rural Rehabilitation corporation,
which has exclusive jurisdiction
over all phases of the project.
Loans will be granted by the
federal government to enable
these pioneers to begin farming
on the new frontier. Advances
must be paid back over a period
of years.
No quota of single men has
been allocated to Minnesota for
this program. A number OF un-
attached individuals already has

EXTEND STATE
INCOME TAXES
UNTIL JUNE Is

The Minnesota Tax commission
has announced an extension of
time for filing state income tax
returns and for the payment of
the first one-half of the tax until
June Is.
Interest will not be charged for
the duration of this extension,
but in any case where taxpayer
secures an extension beyond June
IA, interest will be charged in ac-
cordance with the law for the
period subsequent to that date.
Due to anticipated changes in
the Income Tax Law by the legis-
lature, the commission has defer
red printing tax return blanks for
1884 income, in order to embody
applicable changes in the new
blanks. It is expected that these
return blanks will be ready for
distribution about May 1.

Mr.. and Mrs. Gazette are feel
ing very sheepish. They were
visited this week by a stray Lam
whose place in a show case has
been usurped by pair of wall
eyed pike and couple of shrimp.
AS the Lam is chop for whom
the best is none to good, Mr.. and
Mrs. Gazette have bought a new
press in which to put it to bed.
They have also put the Lam to
work as a bringer-on of subscrip-
tlon stops.
The Lam loves to gambol, and
believes firmly that you can't beat
fun-but it also likes to lay
ground rules before it starts to
play. The problem is this-Hen-
~ Davis has heart trouble
Dutch Lauster has foot trouble
Mrs. Lauterbach has trouble keep
ing the P. T. A. from busting
loose-and Scott SchOen has trou-
BILE keeping the Lam from busting
loose. Everyone but the Lam has
trouble.
=
Believing that you can't beat
trouble, the Lam is hereby invit-
ing it. All complaints and threats
will be received by said beast, in
person, during office hours in the
Gazette office where there are
nice hard desks to pound and a
lot of paper and hair to tear. The
rest of the force can't take it, so
butcher the Lam when you feel
like it.

40 ACRE FARMS
MAY BE OFFERED
INDIAN FAMILIES
Commissioners Ask Federal
Government to Buy
1000 Acres

Twenty-Five Redwood county
Indian families may be placed on
40 acre farms and given an oppor-
tunity to become self supporting,
if resolution adopted by the
county commissioners at their
meeting last week is favorably
acted upon by the bureau of In
dian affairs at Washington, D. C.
The federal government is buy
ing land in Wisconsin and else
where as part Of the rehabilita-
ton plan, parceling it to relief
families on basis whereby they
may become Independent.
The commissioners idea is to
have the government finance the
purchase of 1000 acres in Red
wood county, which would be di-
vided into 40 acre farms, each
of which would be occupied by one
family.
j. P. Kragh offered the resolu-
ton, which was seconded by Her.
man Muetzel and unanimously
adopted.
The resolution states:
Whearas, The United States
government is purchasing land
for rehabilitation of Indians for
the purpose of making each fami-
ly a unit and self supporting,
And whereas, Redwood county
has a number of Indians located
at what is known as the Birch
Coulee Mission and the lands now
occupied by said Indians are un-
fit for farm use and insufficient
for any Indian family to make a
living Or derive any income there
from,
Now therefore, be it resolved
that We favor the federal govern
ment's, under its rehabilitation
program, purchasing at least
1000 acres Of land in Redwood
county for the purpose of setting
up homes for said Indians, and
we, as a county board, heartily
recommend and indorse such a
program.

ferent boards must concur before
the plan can be made effective.

ready quite well organized with
commercial organizations in Min
reapol $, New Ulm, Watertown,
South Dakota and other towns
effected, taking up the fight IN
their sectors.
Petitions will set forth that the
road is an economic necessity to
these towns and that industries
in many of them must have the
railroad to continue. For ex-
ample, employment is afforded to
heads of approximately 20 fami-
lies in Morton by the. road alone,
while the quarry industry de-
pends on the road for Transports
ton and should the trains be TAX
en- off, the total families there af-
fected directly would run to 20 or
rs.
A mass meeting is planned at
Fairfax Friday night to further
stir up opposition. Arrangements
for a speaker from Minneapolis
are being made.
The meetings Tuesday were
conducted by Grover Jaehning
and E. F. Field, chairmen of two
