The republican candidates for the legislature in this district thought they had a lead pipe cinch for election and intimated that they did not need to make a vigorous campaign, but now —well, they realize that it 1s too late to begin. Supt. Dennis McMahon, who has charge of the Mississipp1 and Rum River Boom company’s driving oper- ations on the upper Mississippi, ar- rived here yesterday with his crew to take down the last rearof this season. The company’s wanagon, in charge of Bert Colwell, was tied up at the old: steamboat landing, and a visit to the same resulted in our inner man,. being regaled with many on the delicacies of “nver chuck,” thanks to the grace of Ed. McCarthy, chefd’ cuisine of the boat. There was but few familiar faces in the crew, but we noted the towering form of Phil McCullough “at home” on a small Norway in mid- stream, and the dazzltng smile of Dan O’Mara was in evidence as he “cuffed the round stuff’ with his old-time zeal. Foreman Jas. McCarthy informed us that it will take about thirty days to take off a clean rear to Brainerd. They Don’t Like It The platform adopted by the Demo- cratic legislative convention of this dis- trict. did not fall with favor on the political minds of our Republican friends. Especially the strong resolu- tion denouncing the present ingle: ous system of discounting lumber- men’s time checks strikes them with with much dis‘:vor. Notwithstand- ing the fact that every resident of this and other northern counties of Minne- sota have long protested against the law that authorizes the collection of taxes in Hennepin county on logs cut and remaining in this and other pine producing counties of the state, and have d.manded_ its repeal at every session of the legislature since its en- actment, our contemporary, the Mag- net, treats the subject asa joke. That paper also derided the resolution which demands that men working in the woods shall be paid in cash in- stead of by time check. If the Mag- net will agree to keep this campaign up until election day, we will guaran- tee to carry Itasca coynty for the Democratic legislative ticket in this county by 1,200 majority.

Mr. Herman, was ‘bu with a hearing when the article was} shown him, but he will haye somé to say about the matter later. ‘The: are.several errors in the article? ti re most glaring of which assumes that a bill was passed at last session of con-" gress providing that permits should be granted for cutting dead and down timber. The facts in the case are that a provision was inserted in the Indian appropriation bil] of 1897 authorizing the-secretary of the interior in his discretion and upder guch. regula- tion as he may prescribe to allow the Minnesota Indians to fell, cut and remove dead timber, standing or fall- en, sell the same, and the proceeds to go tothe Indians. It is also provided that whenever thereis reason t0- beleve that any timber'has been| kil ed, burned, girdled or otheswise in- jured for converting the green tim- ber into dead material then all ' per- mits secured under such circtmstance shall be revoked: Thus far a good showing has been made by the Indi- ans,and while itis proposed to ‘con- tinue this policy and give the Iudians the benetis, it is known that compl- aints have been made that timber is being cut under the system ‘thaf ought not be included in the dead-and down categor;, An + investiga. tion will be made in each case where specific charges are fillede mE LAND FOR SETTLER!

There~ will bea great rush‘for those landsclassed as “pine lands,” as comparatively few are valuable for timber, and speculat- ors and homesteaders as well will vie with one another for the possession of those lands especially valuable for their timber. Some of these lands are particularly valuable, as some. of the finest white pine in the state is located in this section, but: in some- what limited quanitites. Some quart- er sections will go as high as 2,000.000 feet of white pine. . This factand the returniig markets for white pine logs will make these lands valuable to an. , who are fortunate enough to locaté or them. ' ae _A large part of these lands have been taken by squatters, who have been waiting for the reservation to be opened, and in some cases were living on them befor the goverment servay was completed some monts ago.
