On the other hand the coun- cilmen allege that the band organiza- tion is rather ‘an uncertain element '|{asa business proposition. The in- :|}creased light and fuel bills appear to be gfeater than the amount realized from the dances thus far held and the actual benefit derived therefrom does not appear to the city dads, Several years ago, when Grand Rapids was in her swaddhng clothes the citizens here contributed erally for the pur chase of band instruments, but as the musical genius of the village dis- appeared from time to time, also dis- appeared the instruments, and finally ‘there was no band. If a business jlike proposition should be presented ito the council wherein the instruments that are paic for with public contribu- tions and through patnotic aid of the citizens, should’ become the property of the village the incentive would be much greater to sustain the band.

Itis now that merchants expect to do a prosperous business and sell goods at a good profit. In Grand Rapids there is no end of good things to be found in the stores. All our merchants in every line are well stocked with holiday specialties that are not surpassed in the larger institutions of the cities. Their prices are such thatithere is no need of seading out of town; for what may be desired, Tomorrow the three churches of Grand Rapids will hold services both morning and evening. Christmas- tree festivities will take place at the Presbyterian church. Extensive pre- parations have been made for the en- tertainment of young and old, and Santa Claus will devide his time be- tween both places.

The Daughters cow | nounced today that the logging of dead and down timber will be resum- ed on the Chippewa Indian reserva- tion iu Minnesota this winter, but will not be continued after this season. He said the decision was the result of the recommendations of Special Ageots Parke and Schwartz, who in- vestigated the subject for the general land office and of the recommenda- tions of several of the congressional delegation, the idea being that the larger part of the timber can be logged | this winter, Words of Praise “I can say for one that I called on Mr. Perreault and received only a few of his medicated vapor baths and was completely cured of a severe attack of rheumatism. , control, the former also’ looking after’ I was a great sufferer | the sleeping department and hovels, A Visit to Myers’ Camp. A visit to Wm. Myers’ camp in the Lawrence lake country was one of the pleasures indulged in by a Herald- Review representative last Sunday. Mr. Myers has a contrac.to cut and bank 2,000,000 feet OF ping Jogs this winter, and although the \.wmpage.is scattered, he alrecdy has nearly, one- third of that amount banked, .ané still | another third on skids awarting havi’ * ing. At present the seat of his perat | tions 1s the old Mature: mips near Lawrence lake, in whigh! vicinity he has about 500,000 to cut and bank, which he expects to have cleaned up next week, when he will move his outfit and go_into camps about seven miles northigf his present location, where he will “put in ‘some 450,000 feet for Price Bros. To the average logger the scattered nature of the timber would be a serious obstacle in the way of making a success _finan- cially of his contract, but Mr. Myers’ indomitable energy coupléd with his thorough knowledge of, the every in and out of the logging business makes it possible ‘for mm to succeed where others might fail.. He gives his opera- tions his personal supervision, but the conductance of his Coldwater ranch requiring considerable of his attention, Mike Morrissy is nominally in charge of his camps. Mike himself is no novice in the logging business, and it is not amiss to state that he isa master of every feature requisite to successful logging. Every member of his crew spoke highly of his ability to handle the work to the best advantage, and all voted him the prince of good fellows. On the other nand, Mike quietly told the Herald-Review man that he had the best set of men in his crew that were ever gotten together inacamp, and said that so trust- worthy and competent were they that all he had to do was to map the work out for them each day and it was done thoroughly. The haul is about a mile from the farthest skidway to the present landing, one four-horse team, driven by Thos. Smart, doing the hauling. Theroad is a good one and over it H. Richards, or “Texas” as he is more familiarly dubbed, holds sway as “road monkey.” Jas. Cook and Wm. Quackenbushare the load- ers, and better than they don’t follow the business. | They have an able as- sistant in Julian Mitchell, who handles. the ribbons on the loading team. On the landing Frank Clark discharges the duties of landing-man with ease and skill, There are two skidding crews, one ‘in charge of “The Terrible Swede, Fred-Anderson, with Pat Mc- Guire and Mike Stinson, swampers, and Dwight Askew, chainer; the other crew is in charge of Jas. McLennan, teamster, with Swampers Kirk and Carlson and Chainer Nelson as _assis- tants. ‘Iwo ‘Montrebecers,” Eli Mornsie aud Zin. N’Delackis do the sawing, and Herman Khtaand Edw.
