Objections Presented That Will Ap- peal to Minnesotans Very Force- ably—The Private Owner- ship Problem. The great national park project re- cently advanced by Chicago and New York parties is meeting with no end of opposition throughout the north- west, and especially from Minnesota papers and prominent men interested in the state. C. B. Maben, of Min- neapolis, contributes some remarks on the subject that are worth con- sidering, and are here reproduced from the Representative: I see the papers are talking about a seven million facre park scheme sor northern Minnesota and, strange to say, some of them seem to favor the project. Look at the facts fora minute and tell us why the people should keep silent while the ‘‘steal under the cloak of public benefit” goes on. I claim: First, that government land still re- maining in Minnesota is needed for the settlers far more than a national park. Second, no “donations” of land from private parties.can reasonably be ex- pected, but on the contrary, those private parties will naturally in- crease the price of their land from $1 and $2 to $5 and $10 and possibly $25 an acre, exactly as owners did in Min- neapolis and every other city when park boards were authorized to ac- quire them. Third, removing so much land from the taxable property of the state will greatly increase the taxes on the bal- ance, and especially will this be no- ticed in the counties where the na- tional park may be located. Fourth, if the scheme is once au- thorized by congress and commis- sioners appointed, the land will be secured by purchase and condemna- tion proceedings, regardiess of cost. ‘Taxpayers may ‘be dammed,” and when it 1s too late we will hear them ‘*holler” just as they have in Minne- apolis for the last ten years. Fifth, that the scenery is magnifi- cent, the air pure and bracing and the water the best on earth noone denies, but we say let the sick “ take arest” in the delightful region by visiting friends or some of the sani- toriums which are springing up around the lakes, and for the home- ing them permanently and building upa home for their families. Set- tlers ought to buy land now while it -edfi be had for $1 to %5 an acre, on easy terms, rather than to wait until itis too high for them to buy and they are compelled to ‘yo farther west,’ or else to remain in the city “slaving ” for some one else all their days. Sixth, forests ought to be protected and growing of trees encouraged, but ip cannot be done by selling pine and stumpage to lumbermen on_ state lands and government. lands at 75 cents to $3_a thousand and allowing every pine tree large enough to make aZ4x4 joist to be cut, and this is just what has been done for years. BEGIN TO GET READY For Itasea County’s Annual Exhibit of Agricultural Products. County fairs can only be made suc- cessful and profitable through the concerted and energetic efforts of the farmers and stock raisers of the com- munity. The fine arts, domestic and mercantile displays are very desirable, and in fact quite necessary features, but the foundation for any real profit to be gained in a territory such as ours must be laid with the fruits ofthe field and garden. There is a con- stantly growing effort among the farmers of Itasca county to increase and improve their live stock, and it is to be hoped that a larger entrance of horses, cattle, sheep and swine will be made this year than ever. before in this county. These annual shows have a very decided tendency to stimulate energy among the producers, and the result is far more beneficial than is generally recognized. From now until the dates fixed for this year’s display of the season’s harvest the subject should be kept in mind by the farmers as well as officers of the association. President Doran has attended two state fairs with exhibits from this county, and he has a pretty clear idea of the requirements of such an under- taking. It takes some money and a great deal of hard labor to make a creditable showing in competition with the counties of the state. Here- tofore Itasca has stood well among her competitors and has never failed to draw a prize, but all former efforts should be excelled it an exhibit is to be made at Hemlin. The county commissioners have appropriated $100 to be used for this purpose, but that amount will be. insufficient. An ad- ditional sum must be secured by some means, otherwise the project will have to be abandoned. The owner of one of the most valu- able mill sites in. Grand Rapids has appointed H. S. Huson his agent, and has authorized Mr. Huson to donate the land to any firm who will build a mill on the site of sufficient ‘capacity to make a reasonably large pay roll. less and weary laden of the cities who are sick at heart, weary of brain and fagged out generally, we advise locat: On this subject the Herald-Review j will have something to say ina future issue. CASS LAKERS T0 STAY Lands to Be Sold Under the Nelson Law at an Early Date. WORK OF SENATOR NELSON. Section Fifteen to Be Disposed of in Parcels — Senator McCarthy Says Lydick * Allotment. Case. Will Result in Applicant’s Favor. The people of Cass Lake have am- ple reason to hold a royal jollification over the outcome of their fight for existance with the interior depart- ment. The trouble originated with designing adventurers who have townsiteinterests at Walker, Bemidji, Ferris and other mushroom upstarts. These schemers procured the co-oper- ation of a few Indians to send in lengthy protests against the white settlers at Cass Lake, and finally suc- ceeded in convincing the department that there was imminent danger of an uprising such as occurred on Bear island last summer. It did not occur to the Indian and interior officials that the Indians had no more rights in the premises than did the citizens located on the disputed territory, as. the lands had been ceded to the gov- ernment, and the United States is sole owner. It remained for Senator Nelson to. make this. point clear, whereupon Secretary Hitchcock with- drew his order requiring the removal of all intruders, and will soon sell the disputed section in parcels. This will give the business men located there an opportunity tu secure abso- lute title. Senator C. C. McCarthy, who has represented the Lydick in- terestsin an allotment on sections fifteen. and sixteen, says that his client will no doubt be awarded the land sought, unless the secretary of the interior should see fit to act ar- bitrary in the matter and ignore the just claims of the allottee. The land sought under allotment comprises about haif the present townsite and will be very valuable. Under date of July 25, the follow- ing news came from Washington: Secretary Hitchcock today finally dis- posed of the Cass Lake, Minn., con- troversy. He announced that the government would sell in parcels the north half of section 15, which com- prises almost the whole town of Cass Lake. The 500.or more intruders are located chiefly on this half section and on the northeastern part of sec- tion 16. They will have to remove from section 16 as soon as possible. The decision of Secretary Hitchcock closes the controversy over the pro- posed ejectment of the intruders from the Cass Lake Indian reservation jands. Senator Nelson was present eeeetaecan! when the announcement was made and expressed his satisfaction, This places: the 320 acres of land open to all for purchase. The half section will be advertised for 60 days and probably 15 days more allowed before the sale when the intruders must take their chances in the purchase of the lands or remove from them. The adjoining section 16 is not similariy to be sold off, as it consists mainly of agricultural lands and is subject either to allotment or homestead ac quirement. The intruders there must buy land in the other section or remove entirely from the reser- vation.” HEALTH RULES FOR BICYCLISTS. The Wheel and Lawn Tennis Combined Furnish the Best All-Around Exercise. ‘To those persons seeking exercise there are features in. bicycling that especially commend it for worthy con- sideration,” writes Edward. B. War- man in the August Ladies’ Home Journal. ‘It encourages sobriety, gives steadiness of nerves, requires quick perception and decision, and promotes deep breathing. During the summer months I arise at 5:30 a. m. and mount my wheel for a little run of fifteen to twenty-five miles, first warming my stomach with a cup of clear coffee. Returning, I take a sponge bath of cold water and a thorough physical exereise for all of the muscles of the body that have not been brought into play while cycling. Then my bath; and as I need no breakfast I take. none. Having no feeling of exhaustion I settle myself for the literary work of the morning, with aclear brain and a body unen- cumbered by food. ‘*Whoever rides a bicycle should bear in mind that while he is develop- ing leg muscle and lung capacity, and is assured of chest expansion, it may be at the expense of arm, shoulder, neck and chest muscles; therefore special exercises for the upper part of the body should always supplement the use of the bicycle. An excellent combination may be secured in an all-round development by use of the ‘wheel’ and lawn tennis. But wheth- er indulging to any extent in bicye- ling, golf, lawn tennis, croquet, row- ing, etc., excercises which are apt to cause profuse perspiration, never neglect following the same with a suitable bath. A sponge bath of salt water, when possible, will be found the best.” Dr. C. W. Cowen and Banker F. L. Denny, of Sandstone, went up the road. to Cass Lake last Saturday. They were joined here by Henry Weed, and the party was entertained by .that prince of hospitahty, George Lydick. One of the interesting inci- dents of the outing was the baptism of Mr. Weedin the sanctified waters of Cass Lake. The impressive cere mony was performed in the name of Jake Johnston's “Ditty Face Society.”
