WOULD COMPEL LOGGERS |LIEUTENANT HAMILTON D. |STAVE FACTORY A NEW T0 BURN “SLASHINGS.” Northome Commercial Club Desires Aid In Passing Bill at Coming Session of Legislature. Northome, Minn, Dec. 20.— During the warm, dry months of last summer and fall, the set- tlers of Northern Itasca county were menanced many times by forest fires and many a home- steader could not sleep at mght for fear his little all would be wiped out by the : ‘“destroying elemert,” in the form of a forest fire. The Commercial club of the complaints from these set- tlers, which were in many cases accompanied by the suggestion that if the slashings and dry tops left from logging operations, were burned under proper super- vision, the danger from fire would be greatly lessened. The mem- bers of the Commercial club discussed the matter informally several times, and now it has been decided to appeal to the legislature for the enactment of a law compelling the men cutting pine in the state to burn their slashings at the time the logging is done. With this end in view the club has prepared a let'er and a copy of the proposed pat- ition to the legislature. The petition is as follows: Whereas, there is in Northern Minnesota a constantly increas- ing accumnulation of tree tops, limbs anh refuse from logging operations; and an increase ir in the number of actual settlers on the forest farms, isolated from one another, and with lit'le Ilun hope of escape in case of a gen- eral conflagration; and an in- crease in the number of villages, and valuation in property, ex- posed to destruction by forest fires; and viewing with great alarm this ever presentinenance I 50 from the irresmstible .fire demon, L] and wishing to avoid the disas- trous resnlts and suffering that would be incurred by a repitition of the great Hinckley fire of 1894 in this state; therefore, the un dersiged, residents of — —— Minnesota, respectfully petition the legislature for the passage of a law substantially in the follow ing form: ‘An act to provide for the re- moval or burning of slashings, limbs, tops and refuse on any lands in the state of Minnesota, and to punish for failure or neg- lect to do so. ‘Section 1. Any person, firm or corporation who, shall cut, or cause to be cut for commercial purposes, any logs, railread cross-ties, cedar poles, pulp wood, firewood or other timber, on any land in this state shall, before the 15 of May next ensu- ing, burn or remove the slashiogs, limbs, tops, and refuse, in such manner as to prevent danger to timber left standing, and other property, and in so doing shall be responsible for the ex- ercise of reasonable care. “Section 2 Any person, firm or corporation who ‘violates any of the provisions of the act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of not less than $10, nor more than $100, and costs of prosecution, or be imprisoued in the county jail for not less than thirty days, nor more than ninety days.” The scheme of burning the slashings and refuse left over from logging operations has been successfully tried on the Chip- pewa reservation, it being a re- quirement of the provisions of the Morris law under' which the timber on the reserve was sold. The Pioneer is informid that the burning has been easily done on the reserve, and that the cost for the work has not been over fiftce1 cents per thousand addi- tional for the total cost. of the ‘logging, and in some instances '~ has been a8 low as eight cents.

The factory will be of much benefit to this community, as the timber used in the making of the staves and barrel heads1s popple, birch and basswood, and good prices are paid for the “raw material,” which ‘would give homesteaders an opportunity to dispose of this class of timber of all dimensions and sizes.
