The Volstead act passed in 1908, extending the Minnesota drainage laws to the public lands, has stimu- lated entries in Northern Minne- sota. The law is popular and there has been an active demand for the lands offered. Before the act was passed the area of unappropriated land in Minnesota was reported at about 1,- 750,000 acres. On July 1, 1915, the acreage reported was 943,381. The prospect of the early drainage of many of the lands has stimulated their disposition. Much trouble has been found in ad- ministering the law, however, be cause of its involved provisions, and there has been great diversity o opinion in construing its terms. Because of competition in bidding at forfeiture sales, some of the lands were sold at a bonus, and the, dispo- sition of the excess has been a per- plexing question. The state authori- ties contended that the excess should go into the state treasury, and the purchaser given credit for the amount cn his future payments. It was finally determined by the department that this excess or bonus should go to the United States. Most of the lands are ceded Chippewa lands and the money is held in trust for the Indians. Also the law is so framed as to permit of speculation in the public lands, but this has been dis- couraged as much as possible in ad- ministering it. The twelfth year of logging on the ceded Chippewa lands closed on June 30, last, and during the year there were cut and removed 46,729,950 feet of timber, valued at $373,442.73, as against 85,799,120 feet of timber, valued at $763,915 in the previous year. The falling off was due to duilness in the lumber market, on which account several of the pur- chasers obtained extensions of time to complete their contracts. The total amount of timber cut during the 12 logging seasons is 1,224,564,- 667 feet, and the total price paid is $8,678,787.79, the average price be- ing $7.06% per 1,000 feet. Prior to the sales of the timber estimates are made by government examiners, but the purchasers pay for the amount actually cut and removed, their bids being by the thousand feet. The amount thus cut far exceeds the government estimates by 316,- 772,750 feet, and the moneys re- ceived exceeds by $2,164,661.66 the total prospective receipts, based up- on the prices bid per 1,000 feet and the government estimates as to the amount of timber upon the land. There are 15 purchasers whose con- tracts are not completed. The av- erage number of logs per 1,000 feet scaled is 11 2-5. The expense of conducting the logging operations for 12 years, including scaling, su- perintending, recording, office rent and the examination of the Mille Lac reservation, has been $360,879.35, which is 4 4-25 per cent of the total receipts. =3 “Andy” Rahn of Minneapolis, who is well known here, having a farm near this city, who filed for dele- gate at large to the Republican na- tional convention, will undoubtedly receive a large vote from the Repub- licans in this district. Mr. Rahn has always been a strong Republican and no mistake could be made by sending him to the convention.

(Written for the United Press.) Small boys all know that tanning Makes persons quite some smart; And that’s a fact that summer girls Will have to take to heart, Because all dyes grow scarcer Since first the war began And for those dying to be smart There’s nothing left but tan. New York, Feb. 4.—Positively the only way you can go in for color ef- feets this coming spring and sum- mer is to turn green with envy, have a yellow streak, a fit of blues or red yourself up to be the pink of neat- ness. They do say that all is fair in love and war but it’s mighty hard for some of us to be fair with the recent embargo on peroxide. For- tunately that has just been lifted and hearts and heads are once more light. Outlook is Dark. The outlook for other dyestuffs, however, is very dark. The weather man has often predicted a white win- ter for us but now the fashion man promises us a white summer—white with a large dash .of tan by way of variety. By way of getting the greatest amount of variety out of tan you can call it biege, ecru, string biscuit sand and putty as it’s intensity of tanness wanes or waxes. " Cotton Shades Effective. Fortunately we already have such charming tan summer materials in natural pongee shantung and rajah no real tribulation. Cotton voiles of rich biege ‘color silks, to:say nothing of natural lin-|®&~ -ens, that:to be thus.limited ifor- spring and summer outfits threatens |l striped in the same toned cotton vel- |f vet are most effective and. the biege dblack striped are stunning additiens § to the new tan-toned fabrics. Faille is lovely in these neutral shadings, too, and spring: suits of eeru: accrue much credit to the wearer as do the little turbans: of’biscuit colored straw and taffeta.and.the high-shoes with putty colored tops. Pearl Gray in Use. If you remember, we were- caught in a sand:storm of sand colored suits, hats and accessories last spring, but this year’s bisque hued crop prom- ises less violence and more quiet ef- fectiveness. As befitting a neutral nation that other most neutral of .tints, pearl grey, will also have its place in the monotones:of our most modern frocks. Of a necessity then the modern maid, deliberately going against the admo- nition of Mr. Omar to fling her win- ter garment of repentance aside for the fires of spring, change instead her flame hued garb of winter for the ashes of a new sartorial season. War Not Responsible. And so a grey or tan mark will be added to the aggregate mass of black marks against tbe war by the woman of fashion. But between you and [} me, after viewing the Ballet Russe || backed by Bakst with its chaotic and unrestrained riot of colors I can't believe that the poor old war is the || only thing responsible for the alarm- ing shortage of dyes.
