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 things, aad the first of edueate tbe legislation. When that is completed, the legiSlature will have seen the neccessity for state support of the project, and will have aprropriated enough money to secure the land and pay for experimentation, for protection to the growing forests and for other necessary incidental work. Meanwhile 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- tural school. SomethIng of the im-} portance and necessity for this work these is to “The present condition of the for- estry problem shows the very general desire on the part of thinking men to pul/this source of wealth on a pract- i Lbasis. ..

The course of study in forestry in the University needs a demonstration forest in order to put the forestry instruction there on a practical, belpful basis, and this should be provided at the presert 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 has in 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 No. 1300, on Monday, Apri} Ist, 1907, | attention of this kind to preserve its Bovey, Minn., Lehrke Opera House | beauties and make it more valuable. “Governer Johnson has recommend- Dance tick-|ed that the park be turned over to ets $1.00, supper served by the | the State Forestry Board, which is 1n Catholic ladies at 25 cents a plate. |line with its proposed use for demon- The Eagles of Bovey are noted for|stration work.

Murphy. It was one of the largest funerals ever held in the vil- lage.

John McVeigh had lived in this town for many years before entering the employ of the railway company and was_ well liked by his associates, He was a young man of exemplary habits and the Herald-Review voces Protect Your Town.

Some Good Advice. ~ Foolish spending is the father of poverty, Do not be ashamed 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, cout and boots. Du not eat up or wear out all you canearn. 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, too! Let that pride be of the right kind. Be too proud to be lazy; too proud to give up without 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. Doii’t be afraid to do your duty be- cause some one ridicules .or opposes you. Aman who has opinions 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; life is 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. 3 { t HeCCAPTIASIF RARE | they had selected.

Any resident of this state who has lived here a generation will remem ber that settlers were tuld that the lands first of the Rum River section, and then of the Hubbard, Wadena, Itasca and Cass county sections were uct worth filing on. all 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 Now they are j of their wealth and development. So ot Minnesota, as fast as trees have gone men have come. Settlement has pushed back the forests and increased 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, zod when the iron is gone the real prosperity of St. Louis county will begin.— Duluth News Tribune, Card of Thnaks.
