While all the towns around us are | forming associations of their business meu for the purpose of improving the towns, what is the reasan that our town can not have one? It will cost nothing to meet once in two or four| over the situation. While it might not do much to boom the town, yet we should get better acquainted with one another and] with one another’s wants and wishes, ' A community of spirit creates: an enthusiast which 1s very apt to dis some direction. The oid saying thateverything comes to him who waits, may have been true! in the old time, but ender the spirit of the present age if a person wants a thing be must go aftar it. We be- lieve there is a go-ahead spirit enough in town to carry -an improvemeut association through to good resoults it it were only started; and we also be- lieve that after it was fairly started the good effects of it would be felt immediately. Perlfaps not as some cities have done in getting great branches of industry to settle here, butin plaus for beautifying and im- proving what we have, and in being ready to embrace opportunities, if any should ceme. An association of this kind, itseems to us, would be pleasant and profitable, even if not muchin the way of “boom” came from it. Will not some of the ° busi- ness men make 4 movein the matter?

TRAINED FORESTERS State Ought to Educate Trained Foresters. : FORESTERS ARE MOST NECESSARY Our People Know the Benefits of Good Foresters—Need Forest at University—Income $49,000,000. If Minnesota is to have any pine timber standing a few years hence something must be done soon to pre- serve the remaining forests of the state and to raise new forests on the cut-over lands. Thatinvolvesseveral things, and the first of these is to edueate tbe legislation. When that is completed, the legi§lature will have seen the neccessity for state support of the project, and will have aprropriated enough money to secure the land and pay forexperimentation, for protection to the growing forests and for uther necessary incidental work. Meauwhile the state ought to be educating trained foresters to do the work that must be done if we are to kave forests. This can be done by voting the proper support to the for- estry department of the state agricul- school. Something of the im- e and necessity for this work can pe learned from the following whithghas been prepared dy the sec- retary of the Minnesota Forestry Asspeiation: “The present condition of the for- estry problem shows the very general desire on the part of thinking men to put this source of wealth on a pract- This Cesire, how- evet, is largely undirected,-and it is Important to unite all friends of forestry for that which can best be undertaken at this time, ‘More has been doue for agriculture by system of the young men than in any otber way, and undoubtedly we can do most for forestry in a similar way. Previous to the establishment of ag- ricultural education upon a practical, helpful basis. little advancement was made from year to year, but since then the whole character of agricul- ture has changed, and it has become much more productive and satisfacto- “We have au enormous area in Minnescta especially adapted for forests, and another large area which wil! not be needed for agriculture for along time: Ivis foolish to neglect now doing, The cut-over lands of Minnesota are today almost uuproducs tive “Our peopie do not know the great benefits that would come to them and it is not necessary here to recite them, but it should be better known that the annual income from our forests and their manufactured pro- ducts in Minnesuta amounts to $49, 000,000 per year, and yet we are doing nothing toshow how this greatsource of wealth can be maintained. ‘“‘What Minnesota needs just now is a more specific idea to the possivili+ ties of forestry. _The course of study in forestry in the University needs a demonstration forest in order to put the forestry instruction there on a practical, helpful basis, and this should be provided at the presect session of the legislature. ‘The Board of Regents are aware of the impor- tance of such facilities and have asked the legislature to furnish them. “It is a fortunate coincidence that the state hasin Itasca Park a tract of land in every way adapted for this purpose, which would be improved, even from the park standpoint, by being used for demonstration work in forestry, and the park really needs attention of this kind to preserve its beauties and make it more valuable. “Governer Johnson has recommend- ed tbat the park be turned over to the State Forestry Board, which is 1n line with its proposed use for demon- stration work. It is practical to make this park a forest experiment station. In addition to experiment in general forestry, experiments would be make there with the wuod of our quick growing trees, such as cotton- wood, willow and soft maple, to make atic agricultural education | ry in every way and isstill developing. ; ‘this great sourceof weaith as we are | Strength.” from the practice of scieatitic forestry, | Heeler APrAsSE then more durable in the soil an more valuable for construction parp ses. It.is believed that cottonwoc as fence posts by proper treatment. It is time that we utilized every source of lumber to the utmost. Such work has great possibilities. “The Forestry Board and the frie of forestry generally have put legis- lation to provide proper forestry instruction and experimentation ahead of all other forestry legi asked of the legislature this season, ifor they believe it means most for the forestry work of the future. Eight thousand dollars a year are asked for this work, and it is little enough, when the great interest at stake ate considered.” “McVeigh Funeral. On last Sunday afternoon at two o'clock occurred the funeral of” John McVeigh, the young engineer who met his death in such a tragic manner ina wreck on the Minneapolis and Rainy River Ry. on the Jessie Lake branch north of Deer River. The friends and relations met at the home of the deceased in the west part of the town and accompanied the remains to the Episcopal church where the services were conducted by Rev. Murphy. It was one of the largest funerals ever held in the vil- lage.

Some Good Advice. x Foolish spending is the father of poverty. Do not be asham of hard work. ‘Work for the best salary or wages vou can get, but work for half price rather than be idle. Be your own master, aud do not let society or fashion swallow you individually— hat, coat and boots, Du not eat or wear out all you Ganearn. Compel your selfish body to spare something for profits saved. Be stingy to your appetites, but merciful to others’ necesities. Help others, and ask no help for yourself. See that you are proud, tov! Let that pride be of the right kind. Be too proud to be lazy: too proud to give up wythout con- quering every difficulty; too proud to wear a coat you cannot afford to buy; too proud to be in company that you can not keep up With in expense; tuo proud to be stingy. Don’t be afraid to do your duty be- cause some one ridicules .or opposes you. Amanwho has opimons of his own and the courage to advocate them will be sure to have opposition in this world because he runs across or contrary to other people’s opinions; put just keep right ahead if your cause ismght and your conscience clear. Don’t worry about what other people say; lifeis too short for that, Some will abuse you through envy, others for the want of principle and some be- cause they honestly differ from you; but if you keep right on openly, man- fully and intelligently, and with your proper dignity of character, honesty of purpose and self-respect, those who differ from you will respect your opin- tons. cao be made to last eight or ten years | ation | The | Knights of Pythias and the Brother- | sincere | parents town above every other as the growth | ture, etc., at home; have your print- | shoe- } Mi } market for bis grain, a better trading He up } SETTLEMENT. | AND IRON | Mines Bring Great Wealth to This Vicinity. CITIZENS OF THIS STATE ALARMED ' What Will Become of this Section of the State When the Iron is all Extracted From the Ground. A number of the citizens of this state seem very much alarmed as to what will become of this section of the state when the iron is outof the ground. They seem to fear that there will be nothing left, and that this will be a wilderness dotted by the ruin of deserted cities. If they could have happened ip the government building in this city last week they would have hada glimpse into the future that might have sur- prised them and have quieted their fears. They would have scen a bun- | dred and fifty persons waiting to file on government land near the city of | Hibbing. ‘ | Many of them had camped for more than a week night and day in the | corriders to be sure of the homestead they had selected. They were a sample of the wealth producers who } Will take the place of the mines when they are exhausted. ‘They were a sample of the human iron, of blood and muscle that the iron in the ground is bringing into St. | Louis county to make a permanent | home for themselves and thair child- ren. The mines have been the great factor in bringing them, because t hey are poor men and they know that whble developing their farms, clearing the land, and building their homes they can always find work to do, They will not have to take the | usual chances of the moneyless pio- | neer who is remote from settlements and must dig his bread from the soil or starve. Minnesota is repeating in |the north the history of the counties tothe south and the histor-v of and Wisconsin. sident of this state who has | lived here a generation will remem | ber that settlers were told that the | lands first of the Rum River section, | and then of the Hubbard, Wadena, Itasca and Cass county sections were worth filing on. Now they are ll Splendid, well populated agricul— tural districts. Mieeigan and Wisconsin were sure that when their timber and mines were gone that that would mark the end. Yet it was only the beginning of their wealth and development. So of Minnesota, as fast as trees h {men have come. Settlem | pushed back the forests and increa wealth has resulted. The mines are bringing into this | section a greater wealth in brain and brawn than is in any ore the earth can yield, 2zad when the iron is gone the real prosperity of St. Louis county will begin.— Duluth News Tribune, Card of Thnaks. } Mr. and Mrs. Joho McVeigh and family wish to extend thanks to the K. P. lodges of Grand Rapids and Deer River, the Brotherhood of Rail- way Engineers and the citizens of Grand Rapids for the many kind acts of kindness and love extended their son and brother during the last death |of John McVeigh.
