The qualities usually attributed to ten-cent ci- gars have been developed in the “Anna Held” cigar through the intelligent application of scientific principles to the culture of the tobacco leaf before it reaches the cigar factory. At a cost of over a million dollars the Axf‘lerican Cigar Company has constructed immense ° stem- meries” where the leaf is put through different processes of curing, ripeuing, fermenting and blending. Cigar Company—remov: S spicion of harshe ness, thoroughly matures the leaf, and combines in a rich, mellow, uniform flavor the natural fragrance of the choicest tobaccos. The “ Anna Held ” is a striking example of what has been accomplished by these new methods. It costs you a nickel—instead of a2 dime. Sold &y «ll dealers in good cigars.

Minn., as second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR Colonel Cooper’s Scheme. ELSEWHERE, the Pioneer re- produces a copy of a letter written by John S. Cooper, an attorney of Chicago, who has had much to do with formulating and putting into existance the pro- posed national forest reserve that now surrounds the village of Cass Lake like a Chinese wall. Mr. Cooper, who has been in- cumbered with the the !title of ¢“Colonel,”’still holds tenaciously to his original scheme of at- tempting to make of nearly the whole of the north half of the great North Star state’s national forest reserve, or park, where thecity folk can desport them- selves and the forestry crank can experiment to his heart’s content, at the expense of Uncle Sam; while the state would lose all chance 1o obtain a splendid country that would eventually be a thriving farming community, enriching the state exchequer with taxes and adding to the population and wealth of the commonwealth. When the Indians ceded this land which is now embraced within the con- fines of the forest reserve, they had no intention whatever of letting it go for that purpose; and, as no provision whatever has yet been made to reimburse the Indians for their land, it looks considerably like a bunco game for “Poor Lo.”” Prior to the advent of Secretary Hitch- cock to the interior department, it was giyen out at that depart- ment that these lands would speedily be opened to settlement, hence the advent of the people of Cass Lake whoare now residents there; and they have been lead a precarious existence, waiting for the release of the lands. They are surrounded by a tract of land that is absolutely worthless to the community, unless it ‘s thrown open to settlement, and as the state is to be deprived of] land that should be hers by right of settlement and occupancy of her citizens, itis as much the interest of any citizen of the state as the Cass Lake people] that the land should revert to the government and be throw open to settlement. " The junket of the presidental 'party and congressmen, as .proposed by Colonel ‘Cooper, might™ be of some benefit as an outing, but the practical resuits to~be ‘de- rived therefrom are largely problematical. THE - village council of Cass Lake will build a new village hall and jail. The plans for the:jail have been approved by the state board of control—and many of the citizens of that ‘place would like to incarcerate in the new edifice some cf the forestry advo- cates.

Greeley a Candidate. oIt is quite geunerally known throughout this secfion of the istate that A, M. Greeley, editor of the Big Fork Compass, will be a candidate for the state legis- lature next fall, If the people of Itasca county have become ac- quainted with Mr. Greeley, there is practically no doubt of his election, as Greeley has a faculty of counting his friends by his acquaintances and his best friends by his acquaintances of the longest period of time. He is a writer of more than ordinary ability and during his stay at Ripple has, through the columns of his Big Fork Compass, done more, perhaps, than any other one man to bring in settlers and develop the country about him. Heis an excellent speaker and will make himself heard when he is elected to the legislature. His friends in Bemidji wish him un- bounded success. A. G. Bernard, president of the state drainage league, takes occasion, in the last issue of his CassLake Voice, to score the editors who have seen it to ques- tion some of his methods relative to drainage matters. While Br’er Bernard will, undoubtedly, do considerable good, at Wash- ington, for the cause of drainage, he is also taking avery active part in the forest reserve scrap and other matters entirely of moment to his own personal benefit. A little less of political shortening would undoubtedly improve the drainage pie. Like crystals fair of morning dew, your ccmplexion now can vice, and drink Rocky Mountain Tea.

In order to further the project, a congressional junket was taken to Cass Lake and the country ad- jacent thereto. ‘The members of| the party wined and dined them-| selves and when they reached| island, dedicated the island as “Cooper” island. in honor of the promoter of the park scheme, and also named the small lake in the middle of the island as ‘“Lake Helen,” in honor of the daughter of Congressman Joe Cannon,who was a member of the party. Strenuous ' efforts were ‘made; after the trip, to have the entire reservation ‘set aside as a great national park, but when the Mor- ris Chippewa bill was passed the park people had ‘to be ‘content with about 200,000 acres, nom- 1nally as a forest reserye, for ex- perimental purposes by the gov- erament forest officials, There has been much demand for the lands (which are tied up in a forest reserve) on the part of intending settlers, and these ‘people are not at all retarded in their desires by the declaratious of White,et al, that theland is un-' fit' for agricultural purposes. It would be much better tohave the ' land peopled * with * industrious farmers than be the home of ex- periments of doubtful value, the results of which will not be mani- fest until' the third or fourth generation; more especially as the state, under ‘the reserve re- gime, would never receive a cent in taxes or other revenue, It is doubtful if the proposed trip of the congressmen and the president and his eabinet would be of any'pecuniary ‘benefit to || ‘anyone living in'this courtry, as| those people invariably travel in ||} six;montha® standing; and theumatism ispecial trains,' where evér‘yth;pg i is furnished, even to ‘the drinks | which are partaken of so liber- | be, if you will take this good ad- | 1 Barker’s Drug Store, I8 Reserve Scheme § the larger part of the land) was v Cass Lake they went over to Star | PROFESSIONAL . cApDs.

It is. also a specific remedy for all such chronic or long standing cases of catarrhal affec- tions and their resultants, as bronchial, throat and lung diseases (except consumf- tion) accompanied with seyere coughs. It is not so good for acute colds and coughs, but for fingering, or chronic cases it is especially efficacious in producing per- fect cures. Itcontains Black C!\errybark, Golden Seal root, Bloodroot, Stone root, Mandrake root and Queen’s root—all of which are highly praised as remedies for all the above mentioned affections by such eminent medical writers and teachers as.
