Alexander, of Lowry Hill Congrega- tional church, has proven himself to be an efficient nimrod. He recently secured two reindeer near Grand Rapids. The above from the Minneapolis Tribune 1s most surprising news to us. A representative of the Herald-Re- view not only had a long talk with Rev. McGregor after his return from hunung a week or more in this vicia- ity, but‘also took a look at the game he had secured. The reverend gentle- man said nothing that would lead one to suspect that he had secured any- thing except a couple of ordinary decr and a glance at the two bucks as they lay in the wagon must have been very hastily given tof no thought of ther beingreindeers crossed the mind of the stupid scnbe. ‘Thats just the way with journalists the world over. The ordinary plug of a country editor lets important matters escape his notice while the braiy city news col- lectors goes deeper and sees wonders where his humble brethren detect nothing out of the ordinary. It is certainly a wonderful fact that rein- deer have been killed in this vicinity und we must be v ry much closer to the home of the “Laps’’ than we had any idea we were, or the two victims of the preacher’s deadly Winchester had wandered a good ways from home. Ot course thc Tribune couldn’t have been mistaken and we would suggest that the matter be looked into closely for some of our townsmen who intend to start for Alaska this winter with dog outfits would much rather use reindeer than dogs and ro doubt by using a little cauuon and a lump of salt enough of them could be cap- ttured to make getting to the Klondike @ pastime rather than a journey to be dreaded. C, E. Seeley was down from his Pigeon river camp on the reservaton yesterday. Hesays every thing is mioving along nicely with him and that-he 1s banking 50,000 feet of logs daily.

F, Metzger properietor of the City Meat Market had gone to Deer River to open a market there. Aseveryone knows “Johnnie” is a tustler and he now has every thing in order to open his shop the first of the week. He proposes to keep, as he does here, a first class market in every respect. The best of meats, poultry, game in season, oysters, vege- tables, etc., will always be in stock and as he proposes to give his person- al attention to the trade at Deer River our neigobonng friends are to be con- gratulated on the acquisition to our town. His shop is centrally located and we bespeak for him a first class trade from the first. How to Benefit Your Town. The following sensible remarks on the way to benefit a town are taken from an exchange and are worthy of perusing: Talk about it. Write about it. Help to improve it. Patronize its merchants, Advetise in its newspapers. Speak well of all its publie-spirited and enterprising citizens. If you think of no good word to say, Say nothing bad about it. If you are rich, invest in some- thing, employ somebody, be a “hustler.” Be courteous to strangers that come among you: they go away with good impressions. Remember that every dollar you invest in a permanent improvement is that much on interest. Always cheer on the men who go in for improvements; your portion of the cost wilt be nothing, only what is just. Don’t kick at any proposed neces- sary improvement because it is not at yourown door, or because your taxes will be raised 15 cents. * Don’t throw stumbling blocks in the way of your own town officers; they are generally public-spirited men and spend lots of time in the public interest for which they receive no remuneration. If, during the week, anything of interest has transpired which might appear in print to the community, tell it in the newspaper office so that it may be seen by the outside world, Never condemn your local paper unless it has unfairly used you. If it bas dealt with you unjustly, write to itor go into the office and talk with the editor about your case; if he is wrong he will lose no time to tell it to the public. Don't let politics get mixed up with your business. If yoy are a busines man don’t Jose the help that a@ newspaper can give you because its politics are not your politics, and by all means do not advertise to “help the paper along;” advertise to help your business and the town along. Newspapers are expected to advo- of the | have the Indians do the logging is nor| Cate that which isin the interest of howling, success” as: the. noble. red | the towns in which they ate publish, men. refuse to-assist in the work. & ed, Thoy generally do, Ir you are 4 interested in the town, you should show it by supporting and advertise- ing in its newspaper. If_you area business man or -professional man you should induce others to do so. This helps the town. Additional Local With the fine skating on the . lakes and the river and the skating rink in running order the young people that enjoy that most exhilerating sport are having rare fun these’ days and evenings. J. E. Tapley of the land department of the N. P. Railway returned to the Rapids last Wednesday and will re- main here for the winter...He spent the summer months in Montana. The Odd Fellows will give a Masque rade Ballon New Year's eve. They have engaged the DiMarco orchestra of Duluth to furmsh the music. It goes without saying that they wil have a big crowd and a jolly good time. The Rosser Hospital has a larger number of patients at the present yme than they have ever had _ before this time of the year, owingmo doubt, to the larger number of men employ- ed in the woods this season. Mrs, Daniel Dorap and daughter, Margarette went to Duluth Thursday morning to visit Miss Loretta Doran and other relations. Miss Margarette will return Saturday mght in order to resume her duties in the school room Monday, but Mrs. Doran will remain for a week. The Frazer house, an old land mark in Laparirie is being torn down. Four or five years ago a good busi- ness was done there, but late years business has fallen off so that the house has been closed and now 1s being demolished for what matenal there 1s in it.
