M. King of the Nor- thern Minnesota Development as- sociation and chairman of the board of county commissioners, ‘was down from Deer River to at- tend a meeting of the board yes- terday. In a conversation wilh a Herald-Review representative Mr. ‘King said that there was a large amount of misunderstanding con- cerning the aim of Secretary Mac- kenzie and himself im asking the interior department to withhold th issuing of the patent to ‘%uv,000 acres of land still td be allotted by the federal government to the state of Minnesota. The impres- sion. seems to obtain in some quar- Jers that if is the intention to try and have the government re- fuse patents on these lands, when nothing of the kind is being at- tempted. Particularly does the at- titude of the association officials geem to be misunderstood in the cording to Mr. King. In order to place himself and hig colleague right on this question He outlined his posilion as follows x “We do not want one dollar or one acre of land belonging in any degree to Soulhern Minnesota, but | we do want some of the things that rightfully and justly belong | to this section. I intend@ to use every power at my disposal to se- cure for Nerthern Minnesota what belongs io that section of the s‘ate. At the Bemidji meeting the mat- |} ter of the protest of Mr. Macken- zie and myself will be taken up | and threshed out, and the action faken at the meeting will voice the sentiment of the people of this part of the state in regard to this matter If the delegates at that meeting wish to forfeit the rights to which this section is entitled, no further action in the premises will be taken either ‘oy Mr Mackenzie or myself, but it, as I believe will be the case, they sustain our course, we shall certainly go ahead along the lines indicated in the complaint.” Mr. King believes that when the that have ever confronted the or- ganization. In the next. leg slature Northern Minnesota will have something 'ike an equitable repre- sentation, and the attitude of the meeting at Bemidji will im many | cases decide the pcsition of the | delegates’ from the north upon many questions. Ancther _ thir that will come up for discussion, and settlement at that time is whether or not the association as a body will endorse the action of, its officers in protesting to the | federal government concerning the | way in which the moneyp derived \from the sale of ceeded swamp lands is being used. There is a- diversity of opinion on this matter and the attitude of the delegates will to a great extent decide what ecoursé will be pursued in the premises., Itasca county and every com- munity within its borders should be represented at this meeting, as no county is more vitally inter- cusesd {ian we are here.

Prisoners For Land Clearing. | The state board of control has, under consideration a plan for em- ploying the prisoners of the peni- tentiary in reclaiming some of the cut-over and swamp lands in the northern part of the state. A law recently passed forbids the em- | ployment of prison labor in the apr sciens: of shoes or other arti- cles that in any way comes in com petition with free Jabor after Sep- ‘tember 1, 1914, and as this will throw large numbers of men out of their wonted employment, some system will have to be devised for keeping them busy.. The board be- lieves that these men could Le well utilized in clearing up and drain- ing the state’s lands and that they would not in any way conflict with wage-earners in this occupation. The scheme lcoks both humane labor. for these men and putting the waste lands in shape for eul- tivation. following commitlees were appointed: Nominating, Mrs. | L. M.

The Badgers made their ‘cuchdcwn in a forward pass im the third half. All the boys played a good, stiff game, the visitors putting up as good an article as the home team, Fullback Wolvin of the visitors playing a particularly finer game. The game was won in the last half on a disputed point. The branch of a tree interfered ‘with the free passage of the ball and deflected iis course so that it went between, the goal posts. The Superior team claimed that inas+ much as the ball would have gone Wide had not the tree interfered ‘with it, it should not be countea. Referee Patton decided in favor of ‘Grand Rapics and allowed the point. reserving the right to re- verse this decision should an ex; amination of the rules prove him wrong. It seems that no specific jule covering the case can be found and the decision is allowed to stand. The line-up: ' Grand Rapids Position Badgers Powerg .. .. .. ..TQ.. ..

Reports from all locations are to the effect that more land has been broken up this fall than ever before im the history of the county, by far the greater part of this work now being done at this time of the year. For a tong time agricultural instructors and journals -have preached the wisdom of turning over all the land possible in the fall, but many farmers have been slow to adopt the advice, prefering to allow the work w go-until the following spring. Slowly the advantages of fall plowing have made themselves apparent. and there are but few now who donot do the greater part of this. work while the weather permits after the harvest is over. Should Help Wardens. Im an open letter addnessed to, the people of the sfate generally. Executive Agent Rider of the state game and fish commission calls upon all to aid the wardens im en- forcing the laws relating to game and fish in the state. In his letter Mr. Rider says that the appropria- tions are insufficient for carrying qn.the work and that it will be impossible to give the protection intended by law unless all citizens joim in helping to keep down il- legal practices. Mr. Rider points out that every one is as interested jin preserving thé supply as the commission is and asks their aid in suppressing law-breaking. ‘offer | School of the university. was asked per year for both participating and| segregated on an island in the St. Alfalfa Seed. killed bv a train on the Mississippi , to appoint a committee, the pur- Hill City & Wesern railway at, Pose of which would be to make that town last Wednesday evening. | provisions for some system where- He was standing between. the rails, | by the cost of the different modes in plain sight of the engine crew, of clearing land could be gotten and must have been in deep| at with something like a certainty. thought as he paid no attnteion to It is an easy matter to discover repeated warntes from the cab to legthiehy process is the fastest am: a’ for thecoming winter months.
