Official Paper of Itasca County MINNESOTA’S FOREST LANDS. Fred D. Sherman, commissioner | of immigration, has issued a state- ment regarding Minnesota’s finan- ces, in which he says, vatinnescta:s, iminense permanent school fund is attracting national attention, “and ber method of conserving her na- tural resources is being cited as an example that other states should follow.” | The following article in a recent | issue of the Milwaukee Journal is, other statement of what think about Minnesota and her manner of creating and tax-| ing care of her trust funds: “Wisconsin frittered away the school, university and other lands a fair slales | | | ceeded to the state by the federal government and has little to show | States are advertising their land to | in connection with them, except a |e worth. Minnesota is not em- record of shame and folly. Minne- | phasizing the high spots, which is sota, like Dakota, husbanded these resources, and as a result posses-! fund that exceeds $28,- 000.000 and assets that bring the | total up to approximately $200,-| 000,000. Wisconsin sold her land, including the valuable timber that stood upon most of it, for little more than a song, and now the state legislature contemplates dealing a fatal blow to a forestry policy designated to correct in a part the mis e of former years, while Minnesota has pursued the policy of selling timber upon state lands at something like its real | value, with the result that during | the last fiscal year that state re- ceived an income of $324,295 for | timber cutting privileges alone. | The Wisconsin university land fund amounts to only $232,796.50, as! againsf $1,506,136 in Minnesota, and the income from this fund Jast year was $17,959.44, against $57,000 in Minnesota. The principal of Wisconsin’s school land fund is 4,117,698 and the income from it last year was. only $203,977.15, | while Minnesota's school land fund! sesses a is $22,614,294 and the income from it for the last fiscal year was $850,- 000. Minnesota has wisely managed these public lands, has carefully conserved these natural resources, while Wisconsin has been exploit- ed and robbed. State forestry pays. The fact that Mirnesoia, during | the last fiscal year received an in-} come of $324,295 from the sale of timber, while retaining the title to the land from which the timber | was cut, proves this. This sum is greatly larger than Wisconsin's total income from all public land | sources. Germany’s achievements’ bear absolutely convinicng evidence! of the feasibility and great advan- tage of state forestry.” eee a Farm Lands for Farmers. The Counry Gentleman, pub- lished in Philadelphia, is one of the most widely circulated farm} journals in the United States, and ‘the wisest policy.

State Board of Immigra- tion/of, Minnesota is conducted by men/who are going about the big work, -pf settling Minnesota in a live’way. The immigration board is alg@gan information bureau. It is men who are earnestly en- deavoving to attract the right kind of settlers. They are advertising the state’s farm land as farm land —not as. one-crop gardens that re- duce farming to. the pleasant pas- time of lotus eating and coupon | clipping. Farming is represented as} a business and not as an ideal form of recreation. There are 19,000,000 acres of de- veloped farm land in Minnesota and there are 27,000,000 undevel- oped acr There are 155,759 de- veloped farms and room for the de- velopment of 165,000 more of the average area of 160 acres. The cost of these farm lands, you are | informed, ranges from $8 an acre for wild land in Northern Minne- sota to $125 for improved land in| Southern Minnesota. These are alluring prices in view} of what some of the Far Western The tion board has general statistics to offer but there are few suggestions of the get-rich-quick variety. This official advertising and boosting board is located at St. Paul and it yearns to get the ear of the land- seeker. There is no doubt that the immigra- ! gentlemen who conduct the board have a lot of interesting informa- tion on tap. When a public service organiza~ heavily on the loud pedal it is worth listening to. 4 QUEEN ELEANORE. Bulgarian Consort Asks Queen of Roumania to Halt Troops.

Washington, July 22.—The inter- state commerce commission held that all rail freight rates on wheat from Chicago and Lockport, N.

Washington, July 22.—Asserting that | a foreign “lobby” had influenced the Democrats in framing the Underwood- Simmons tariff bill, Senator Smoot, Republican member of the finance committee, delivered a vigorous attack on the measure. He painted a picture of mills shut down, workmen unem- ployed, investors ruined and an era of general financial and industrial depres- | sion as the result of the leveling of | tariff walls. “There has been a lobby here in be- | half of foreign manufacturers,” he | charged, “such as was never before witnessed in the history of the nation, and they have got even more than they asked for. The Italian chamber of commerce of New York asked for certain reductions and the Democrats in nearly every case have given them more than they asked.” The senator assailed the increase in the free list, especially with reference to sugar, wool, pig iron and textiles. He charged that the sugar industry of Hawaii and Porto Rico would be ruined, with consequent benefits to the so called sugar trust, and that China, with its great steel plants, would capture the steel business of the Western hemisphere. 5 2 Me i i a i i i a i hi POISON DOG; THEN ROB STORE.

SERVIANS CHARGED WITH CRUELTIES Thousands of Albanians With- out Food or Shelter. New York, July 22.—A private mes- sage received by Rev. George Otis Dwight, secretary of the American Bible society, from an American mis- sionary now making his way from Scutari into the devastated regions of Albania, says that the Servians are engaged in what is there believed to be an attempt to exterminate the population of several of the Albanian districts. Guards from the Servian army, the message says, are patrolling territory definitely assigned to Albania at a distance of as much as twenty-five miles from the boundary to prevent any one getting out of or going into the region. Thousands of refugees are in the mountains without food or shelter, expatriated and starving, feed- ing on roots, grass, bark and twigs. “I found near Leah,” said the mis- sionary, “and all the way from Scu- tari a great many villages burned and few fields planted. The country has been ravaged by the Servians, by the Montenegrins and by the Turkish army under Eéssad Pasha, who thus punished the inhabitants for refusing to help him save Turkey. At Kroya we heard of four women and forty- eight men who had been wantonly hanged, shot or cut to pieces with swords by the Servians.” [r TASCA) [BRAND] GUARANTEED PURE PASTEURIZED MILK --per quart .O7 Cream, whipping “ -35 Cream, cooking---- et .25 Buttermilk- 3 * Buttermilk. --gallon Cottage Cheese..-.pound We Are Ready to Furuish the Goods at any Time of the Day.
