Taylor. decease’!, was an insured member of the Ladies of the Maccabees of .Cass_ Lake. She had been a member but a short time and had paid in but $18 20 up to the tlme of her death. Mr. Taylor has already received $2000 the amount for which Mrs. ‘Taylor was insured. There is no fraternal so- ciety that is more prompt in the pay- ment of its death losses than the Ladies of the Maccabees. At the meeting of the village coun- cil held Monday evening Council- man 1. D. Rassmussen was appointed as a committee of one to pick up the band instruments purchased last sum- mer, place them in the locker and have them insured. Early in the summer the village, im connection wile the firemen and a number of citizens expended in the neighbor- hood of $500 for these instruments in the hopes that Grand Rapids might have a band. But for the present it is not» to be, as a number of our musicians have. left the village, and others are. going to leave, and it was thought that it would be a good idea to look after the struments so that when the time comes that it might be possible to"have a-band organized an expenditure of several hundred dollars will not. be neeessary. : EMERGENCY RATION. That Selected by the Army to Be “Pat to Further Test. Volunteers from Cavalry in Okla- homa Will Try Campaigning on Concentrated Food — Pur- pose of the Experiment. Two officers of the United States army, Capt. Fountain, of the Eighth cavalry, and Capt. Foster, of the Fifth cavalry, have gone to New York to make final arangements for a supply of “emergency rations.” About a year ago a board of officers, consisting of Col. Dempsey and Capts. Fountain and Foster, yas convened for the pur- pose of inquiring into and deciding up- on a ration for enlisted men which can be used in an emergency. Manufac- turers of food products in all parts of the country were invited to submit samples of concentrated foods which could be used for such purposes. All samples submitted were subject- ed to rigid tests. The desideratum aimed at was, in brief, a minimum of space combined with a maximum of sustaining qualities. After months of experiment it was finally decided that @ preparation of parched wheat com- bined with a certain proportion of evaporated animal food would sustain life best with the least possible loss of weight and energy. To this combina, tion was added a cake of sweetened chocolate, and the whole ration, suffi- eient for one day, was inclosed ina her metically sealed receptacle, The officers of the board tested the value of the ration by living upon it themselves for several consecutive days. Now they have been ordered to continue the tests. With this end in view they proceed at once to Oklahoma, where there are two troops of cavalry.” It is the purpose of Capts. Fountain and Foster—Col. Dempsey has been de- tached from the board—to invite vol- unteers from these cavalry troops to accompany them for a week, ten days, or two weeks, for the purpose of test ing the value of this new ration. If it is found that the men can live «pon it without great loss of weightor. suergy, it will be adopted by the de- partment. It is not the purpose, how- ever, to substitute this ration for the régular food supply of the American soldier. But men in service will be sup- plied with two, three, five, or more of these rations when on special service. They will be allowed to use them only when it is found impossible to secure other food, In other words, it is an “emergency” ration, and severe punish- ment will be meted out to the soldier who uses it except in cases of extreme emergency. Sio8 The Minnesota Park. _ (Cobtinued from First Page.) | most conservative estimates regard the present supply of Iumber in all northern Minnesota as good for not more than twenty years. The cutt- ing of pine in the vicinity of Cass Lake and Walker would never cease tu be of vital importance -to the prosperity of the towns, could it be maintained, and we believe it can be. Up to the advent of lumbering, the pine maintained iteslf for thousands of years, and will do so now, but for fires. In fact, the clearings made in cutting are the very places that pine selects to grow in naturally, and pine grown on clearings made bv fire or blowdowns produced all the even aged stands of old trees now on the reservation. But young pines can not stand fire, and fires never fuil, and the result isa wilderness. The young pines would come in of them- selves and renew the stand could fires be kept out. There are many stands of pine already well grown but not merchantable size. Fire fol- lowing the cutting of the main crop will undoubtediv destroy these young stand, which, if protected, will take on volume rapidly and be fit tocutin 25 to 30 years. It is uscless to think of state officials or local fire wardens furnishing ade- quate protection from tires. There is but one force that can give it and thatis the national government. The goverament fire patrol in forest reserves is thorvughly organized, The Bureau of Forestry under Mr. Gifford Pinchot is attracting wide- spread attention in, its progressive handlings of the questions of foresta- tion in this country. Largely through its influence the administra- tion of the government forest re- serves has been placed in a_ special division of forestry in the depart- ment of the interior, over which has been put Dr. Filbert Roth, a man of great executive ability and thorough practical training. There is no question that not only would the fires be kept out if possible at all, but that every. reasonable encour agement would begiven to the young pines to replace the old crop. This pine land, as is known, is dispersed in small tracts over thereservation. It would therefore close no large reigon to settlement and the settlers would be interspersed over the tract. This would be beneficial to the reser- vation as the clearings would help to act as firebreaxs. The goyern- ment would in th: same way ur- doubtedly aid the settlers, by con- strtcting the necessarv fire hnes in the form of roads, which make the best possible firebreak, and fire- breaks would be the first consider- ation to forest officials, To sun up—this amendment. will interfere in no respect with the eut- ting of pine; 1t will retain but one- sixth of the lands on the reservation, and those the poorest for settlement and scattering tracts; it will offer the only possible change of perpetuating the lumber industry; it will interfere the couutry, but will assist in the steps, roadmaking; the protection offered against fire will be of great benefit not only to the young timber but the whole section. preventing as it will, waste ot firewood and great injuty to agricultural: soils which are the univeisal results of such fires. But this net all. Should these two am-ndments prevail, Cass ake to upbild her reputation a summer resort, which consideration is not to ledespised. And most important of all—the Morris bill so amended, while safegardi1g and promoting everv local interest, could net fail to } win its support most if not of Min- nesota’s delegation, and this would msute its passage this winter. It is for you to chouse—do you desire a few more settlers, some moresettlers some time inthe future when the land has been ravaged by tires, ordo you wish action, now, and provis- ions tor present sett’ers, and the securing of large revenue from tour- ists attracted by the reputation of a forest reserve, about which they could be allowed to entertain what- ever notions they wished,—the pine on the island would not disappoint them, The above sums up conclusions ot close study, which by reason of his position as superintendent of the State Agricultural Experiment farm at Grand Rapids for five vears past, may, he hopes, be accepted as un- baised and formed with fair under- standing of local needs, both present and future. He is also at least partially familiar with the views of nearly all of Minnesota congressmen what guided thereby... He: submits this letter for vour earnest immediate attention.

I see you have started to school again. ‘Tis well, the whole life 1s a school, at least it ought.to be. ‘Never too old to learn,” is an adage that has been old for half a century or more, and as true as it is old. In Uncle Tom’s Cabin a book that was written by a good woman nearly fifty years ago one of her darkey characters is repre- sented as saying “Bobservation makes de difference in niggers.” I am much inclined to think that observa- tion makes some difference in others than niggers. Now if you keep your eyes open and your thoughts proper-| ly at work, you may learn soncthing new and enlarge your out look day by dav. This new year isa good time for you to start afresh. A Happy New Yearto you anda first cl.ss term in school. The services of the week of prayer have been jnteersting and profitable to,those who have attended, but there |have been seats vacant that others might, and doubtlessly ought to, have been occupied.
