He reports that the young men of the ibe are nearly all engaged in the work, either directly or indirectly. Those who do not handle the ax or saw find profitable employment fur- nishing fish and game to those who are now able to buy in consequence of the improved conditions that have been produced. The present munistration of Indian‘afiairs will have no cause to regret the experiment now under way on the Minnesota reservations. They Like the Jub, George Lydick was in the city re- cently, having come down from Deer River for suppiies. He says the very best results are looked for in the oper- ation of the dead and down timber act. There are about five hundred able- bodied indians on the Winnebigoshish reservation, and everyone of them is earning his living, and most of them are learning how to work and thus be- come independent in the matter of making their own way after a while when there shall ve no timber for them to depend on. of the Indiansare at logging work and the balance of them are hunting or fishing to provide meat and fish for the camps on the reservation, or doing some profitable labor.

The Herald-Review takes pleasure in calling its reader’s attention to the business. announcement in this issue of the Nisvett Jewelry company, of which Will Nisbett is the manager. Mr, Nisbett has been in business in Grand Rapids for more than six years and dunng that ume he has success- fully conducted a large business, until the hard times of the past two years brought to him the same trouble that overtook many another, It is indeed gratifying to his friends to know that he has succeeded in organizing a company which is backed with sufficient capital to put in the largest stock*of watches, clocks and jewelry that has ever been brought to Itasca county, About the first of January woods and with his greatly enlarged stock there is reason to believe that before. In the meantime, it will be noticed that he is doing repairing and cleaning at just one half regular price. Ifyou have “any work to do in the jewelry line “now is the time to have it done at this low figure. Bound to Succeed.
