The Herald- Review has ever been in favor of aiding any and every project which will advance Grand Rapids, and in this matter it believes the location of this particular enterprise in our town will be tne nucleus of our future pros- perity and growth, both in regard to! population and wealth. ‘To our read- ers we most emphatically say, vote “yes” on the bonus question next!

Some days agu the Washington correspondent of the Times wired ‘that the work of estimating the pine on the Chippewa reservation in this state would be concluded about April 15, and that the interior department had annoucned that it wouldsbe offer- ed for sale as soon thereafter as pos- The reason given for this haste in disposing of this pine was thatitis in danger of distruction from fire. The Times does not believe that the danger from fire is so imminent as to justify any great haste in disposing of this the unused body of white any consequence in the United States. It has stood for *|years without being burned and there is no reason to think that it will not be safe to let it alone fora year or so more in order that intend- {ing buyers may have an opportunity to examine it. As soon astthe work of estimating is finished, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the:results of this work should be printed in a pamphlet, accompanied by maps showing the location of logging streams, :together with other information such as an intending purchaser would desire to have placed before him. If the sale is postponed say for one year it would be found that there would be a heavy demand for information regarding this pine and that much better prices would be obtained. If, on the other hand, the sale is hurried there is reason tu believe that a few big concerns will be in a position to buy most of the pine by reason of having had an opportunity to obtain inside information regard- ing the value of the different des. criptions of land. upon which it stands. It is not for the best interests of the northwest that two or three large concerns should be permitted to purchase the buik of this property | unless they are willing to pay more for it than anybody else. They al- ready own most of the standing pine {in the state. To let them get pos- session of this pine will be to place them ina position in a very short time where they will be able to dice tate prices to suit themselves. The widest possible distribution of the ownership of this immensely yaluable property is better for the country and will put more money in the pockets of the Indians to whom it belongs. That result can be brought about only by delaying the sale as suggested.—Minoneapolis Times. Homeseekers’ Excursion Rates Via the St. Paul & Duluth Railroad.
