We have more interesting news for
our readers. In our last issue we illus
trated our progress as citizens in Min
neapolis by giving a list of some of our
business representatives. This week
their progress is further marked by a
practical example set forth by one of
our conservative young namely Mr..
Jasper Gibbs. Mr.. Gibbs came to Min
neapolis but few years ago from Chi
cago. He engaged here at our largest
hotel as side waiter. His ability and
competency soon warrented his promo
ton to second waiter, which position he
has filed with credit and success until
last saturday when other business called
for his resignation. Mr.. Louis Hurd
will take his place as second on the staff
at the West hotel. Mr.. Gibbs has now
completed arrangements for the finest
lunch establishmentin the whole North
west. This place is located in the very
best business center in the city, it is op-

large room 2lxl00 feet on first floor. his
kitchen and other apartments are
equally large. He has without any ex-

nine rows of drawers of three tiers each
