RESERVE Wisdom of Its Selection DefendedNo More Experiment in For- estry ContemplatedLands Especially Well Adapted to tlfe Government''s Purpose. By Eugene S. Bruce, Inspector United tional forest reserve on solid, com-. States Forest Service. In view of the many misleading statements that have been published with the express object of influencing public sentiment against the Minne-, sota national forest reserve, the fol lowing facts may interest those who want to know the real situation re garding this reserve and the steps taken in its formation. The Morris amendment to the Nel son bill provided that the forester of the department of agriculture should select 200,000 acres classified as "pine land^ from lists to be furnished him by the secretary of the interior from certain described ceded Indian lands. In classifying the Indian lands only two kinds were allowed to be recog nized: "Pine lands," those upon which there was merchantable pine timber, and "agricultural lands," which included all other lands, wheth er burns, barrens, muskegs, swamps, marshes, or boggy shores of lakes. By the terms of the Morris bill 25,- 000 acr^s classified as jfgricultural" were to be included with the 200,000, which at the time the act was passed was thought would be ample to consoli date the area selected. The fact that there were only* two kinds of land to be distinguished, accounts for the large area classified as "agricultural," the greater part of which is absolutely worthless for agrieultiiral purposes. At the time of the passage of the Morris bill there were no maps avail able which showed the Indian allot ments, agricultural" and "pine lands in fact, a large portion of the Indian reservations was not classified at the time, whioh explains why there was no way of knowing just how much land other than pine land would have to be included to consolidate the area selected. The very apparent intention of thewaters legislators was to allow a sufficient amount of lands classified as "agricul tural" to be included to make the area selected for the Minnesota na- Xakes hair light and fluffy.

The system of- classifica- tion, however, made it impossible to consolidate the area with only 25,000 acres of so-called "agricultural'' land, the amount specified the Morris bill. Why Cass Lake Lands Were Selected. It has been charged that the selec tion of that portion of the reserve in the vicinity of the village of Cass Lake was an injury to the inhabitants. The obvious reply is, that the most com pact body of classified "pine lands" on the reservation, and containing the lowest percentage of lands classed as "agricultural," is comprised in the townships which border on Cass Lake and those contiguous to .them. Moreover, if these townships, which were almost entirely classified as "pine land," had been "excluded, it would have been impossible for the forester to comply with the provisions of the Morris bill and select 200,000 acres of "pine lands" in anything approach ing a contiguous area, or with any pos sibility of consolidating the reserve in such form that it could be protected and administered properly and econo mically. The first selection for the re serve contains the largest' acreage of compact "pine lands''and the small est percentage of lands classified as "agricultural," of any area of equal, size which could have been selected in these Indian reservations. It has been stated that there are other locations on these reservations which could as well have been selected which would have served the purpose of a reservo just as well. The facts justify no such statement. Had it been possible to select the territory further north and east, which it was not, since the greater part of those lands were classified as "agricultural," the result would have been to protect the head of the Big Fork river, a tribu tary of the Rainy river, which runs into a foreign country. This would not have served the purpose for which the reserve was created, which is to protect the GONE!!! Herplckt* Will Sare It. Too Late for Herptetdo.

A portion of the reservation (delin eated on present maps by a black line) was withdrawn April 23,1903, from sale or settlement. This,was done on theMayme recommendation of the forester, who agreed to confine his selection for theAbout reserve within the black line, the secre tary of the interior agreeing that none of the withdrawn area should be opened to sale or settlement until the territory to constitute the reserve had been final ly selected. This step was taken to allow lumbering Xo begin pending the completion of the Indian allotments and the delineation of the war department's flowage line, that department having purchased from the Indians the right to flow certain lands inside these reserva tions, prior to the passage of the Morris The allotting of Indians inside the black line has not yet been completed. Locations have been completed in the field, but these have not yet been finally acted upon by the Indian department at Washington, nor have maps yet been received rjm the war department show ing the final delineation and location of the flowage line. But. from a list which has been furnished by the war department showing lands which will be affected by the government dams lo cated at Leech lake and.Winnibigoshish. it appears that 75 per, cent, of the lands which were included within the black line, classified as agricultural^' are affected by the flowage and likely to be submerged. The territory withdrawn includes ap proximately 207,000 acres classified as "pine lands,'* and the smallest amount of lands classified as "agricultural' which it was possible to include, and, at the same time, include the requisite number of acres of land classified as "pine lands." The 7,000 acres of "pine lands" with in the black line in excess of the 200 000 acres-stipulated in the Morris bill, was included because a careful exam ination made it apparent that apart of the classified "pine lands", would be covered by the flowage and it was esti mated that the surplus of "pine lands would be needed to replace the acreage which would be flooded. The lists re ceived from the war department show that the estimate was conservative. Selection Defended. It has been frequently asserted that these "pine lands" are not really pine lands" but are good "agricultural lands." Again, I call attention to the actual conditions existing on the ground. Anyone who is acquainted with this re gion or any similar region, knows whether land upon which Norway, white and jack pine grow naturally can justly be considered as highly valuable tor agricultural purposes. It is of exactly such lands that the area selected for this reserve is chiefly composed. The selection was not entirely the work of one man. The area included was looked over by the forester, the commissioner of the general land office, the Indian agent and the writer, all of whom expressed themselves favor ot its location. Some of those who are now the foremost opponents of the forest reserve saw a map of the proposed loca tion before it was submitted to tne secretary of the interior for his ap proval, 'and expressed themselves as highly pleased with it. There is no reason why the location is not as desirable today as it was at the time it was made. It was freely stated before lumber ing operations commenced on this re serve that the brush could not be piled and burned for less than $2 a thou sand. It has been demonstrated by actual operations that it can be prop erly done for from 15 to 25 cents a thousand, depending on the class ot timber, density of the stand and theare executive ability of those charge o the work. More than an Experiment. The statements that this work is sim nlv an experiment in forestry are also fallacious. Forest management along similar lines has been successfully con ducted for years. The reproduction of voung pine on the area selected is bet ter than on any other portion of the Chippewa reservations. This was a very necessary point to be considered on account of the small percentage (5 per cent).left for seed trees to insure reproduction., In addition to the trees left for rethe stocking, there are large areas thru out the reserve where the ground is covered with a growth of young and thrifty pines from one to thirty years The statement has. been published that on the heavily timbered sections east of Cass lake, along the Great Northern railway, the brush from lum bering would be six feet deep, and that, in order to bum it without destroying the whole country, it would be neces sary to load it on flatcars and haul it out to the prairie country in Dakota. Instead of that being the ease, the brush and debris on these densely tim bered sections, the heaviest stand on the reserve, has all been burned in ac cordance with the rules and regula tions of the forester. Not one of the seed trees has been injured by fire, and actual measurements show that less than 7 per cent of the area lumbered was covered by the brush piles. On the territory lumbered in the winter logging season of 1904-1905, the area covered by brush piles which were burned has been found by actual meas urement to be less than 2 per cent of the total area logged. The relationship between the lum bermen and the forestry officials has been friendly and amicable thruout. On all the territory lumbered to date, the brush-piling and burning has been completed and not one fire originat ing from brush burning has gotten be yond control, nor has any of the young growth or seed trees left standing been injured. J, The geographical location of this re serve on the headwaters of the Mis sissippi river makes it possible for all timber which is removed, either now or in the future, to be cheaply floated down that stream to any city located upon it, free from injury by fire, worm or beetle the moment it is placed the water, with the additional advan tage that it can be stored or held in boom at any point along this great thorofare until such time as it is de sirable to manufacture it into lumber. Natural Pine-Growing Area. The forest conditions of this reserve make it one of the most natural pine growing areas in the United States, the strongest evidence on that point being the noted stand of timber-which is at present being removed from it, and which was sold for the highest price ever paid for timber in the re-charcoal Altho this reserve, compared with others, is small, yet from its particu larly favorable location and its natural suitability for the growth of pine tim ber, which can be so economically dis tributed to its markets, I question if double the area in any other reserve will be of as much real benefit to the people of the United States as the small but highly important Minnesota national forest reserve. I feel that the present opposition to the reserve will be shortlived, because the reserve itself interferes with no legitimate in terest or enterprise and makes for the present and for the future the best permanent use of the area and the .re- sources it protects.

Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the 'safest and most efficient dis infectant and. purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleans ing purpose.- Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better it is" not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and im proves the .complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious 'gases which collect in the stomach and bowels it disinfects the mouth and throat'from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges they are composed, of the finest powdered "Wil low charcoal, and other harmless^ anti septics in tablet form, or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozen es, the charcoal being-mixed with oney. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much-improved condition of the general health, better .complex ion, sweeter breath and pilfer blood, and the beauty of it is, that jho possible harm can result from theirf continued use, but on the contrary,, great benefit. A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal says: I ad vise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat I also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I be lieve I get more and better charcoal in, Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in any of th^ordinary charcoal tablets.*' 0 This Stomach can give Penalty 100 0 Dollars "ifWATE and imprisonment for not more than two ffik years is imposed by the United States on any mum person who shall re-use or refill a bottle of our J?gj Bourbon Whiskey without removingand destroying the United States Treas- ury Depart- ment's Gree nyfipoo.StampGBUILDINtfr-CAWTOlG*r* TRAIGHT BOTTLED IN BOND irttled irt its pure, hoaeat, natural state according to the law passed by U.
