A GREAT NEW NATIONAL PARK: Many Acres of Sareet and Lake in Minnesota. ST. PAUL, Nov, 28.—The fact that the Yellowstone park may in the near future have @ great rival that a large area comprising some o the aplendid scenery of the north pine beit of Minnesota may to our national playgrouw doubt be warmly welcomed by public, The thought of preserving @ few large breathing spaces out of the vast territorial resources for purposes of health and recreation is an exceedingly happy one and meets with Hberal response from all class- es of people Tt ts therefore not surprising to learn that a number of the public @pirited legisiators are behind the @cheme to secure a large section of territory, now comprising Indian Teservations in Minnetota for this purpose The site of the proposed national Park in Minnesota ts 200 miles north of the Twin Cities, contains 611,693 scres of Jand and 218,470 acres of wa- ter surface, is crossed from east to west by the Great Northern road, and the Brainerd & a reliroad passes near Within its limits are three large forest bordered lakes, stocked with fieh, including favorite white fish. The Mississippi river flows through three of the larger taker Cass and Winnibigoshic—and Leech lake bas an outlet into the same riv- er. The whole area forms an im ite Fost part of the head waters of © he Misaiasipp! river, and if kept in forest will help maintain the water supply. The land ts principally cov- ered with pine forest, of which con- siderable ts merely jack (baskslana) pine, and which, though not com- Monly regarded as having commer- cial value, has sanitary advantages | and has some value both for lumber and fuel.
