Si 3 ment some over ten thousand miles of roads haye been con- structed along drainage ditch banks and several million acres of fertile wet lands made available for farm factory use, and about 2,000 new taxpayers added in Bemidji district as pur- chasers of reclaimed gov’t. lands under state drainage road law and Volstead Act in the last four years and for the benefit of these two thousand new land owners as well as around a.thou- sand homestead settlers north of the lakes since 1907 better rail- road facilities are asked for, needed and worked for. 5 In order to properly develop a fertile district, that is bette aquipped with wagon roads than central Minnesota, we specially urge the organization of a tax payers’ and development league, by these theee thousand land owners in the Red Lake and Rainy River basins, for protection and development of their, combined forest and soil resources, inclnding mineral deposits south of the Lake of the Woods in the Clear River District and south of North Red Lake in the Quiring, Nebish and Hay Creek districts. Such an organization has great work ahead that needs at- tention before the local town, county and state taxation depart- ments as well as before the state legislature and Federal con- gregs on taxation, soil experimental development, and a better and closer co-operation between the state and federal railroad SHERMAN’S'MAR CH T0 THE SEA.
