Cover this box neatly in. side and out with wall paper or pret- ty fancy silk, first having made as many small slits on the top as there are bolts of ribbon.
 Paste the covering on the box. and if it Is found difficult to turn in the edges neatly around the slits do not attempt 1t, but cover the roughness with nar row edge of gilt paper for braid.
 Put the ribbon in the box, first hay. ing removed the paper and rewrapped the ribbon and put one end through each slit so 1t is about an inch on the outside of the lid. If these ends are fastened through bodkins, for which narrow strips have been provided on the top of lid to hold them in place, it will add much to the convenience of the gift.

TO CONSERVE
WATERS Of
MISSISSIPPI
Cutting Timber on Indian
Reservations Must Be
Stopped
RefOreSting Of HeadWaterS
Country Of River Must
Be fastened

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 14.-Those
alarmed about the future of the Mis-
sissippi river because it's headwaters
region is becoming denuded of for
ests, find little comfort in the reports
of United States government engi-
neers which caused the expenditure
of more than a million dollars for
five reservoir dams. In the report
of Col. F. V. Abbott, acting chief
engineer, for 1876, he said regarding
the reservoirs: without the addi-
ton of stored waters from the reser-
voir system the river at St. Paul is
liable to fall to stage of or foot, as
happened in July and August, 1894,
or to zero, as happened in April,
1896, whereas, with judicial and eco
nomical use of the reservoir waters
it is quite practicable to keep the
gauge at st. Paul from ever falling
below 3 feet. A flood stage existed
this season from Sandy River to Ait
kin, Mimi, and below, from May 20
to July 1, during which period there
was impounded and held back in the
reservoirs over 10000, 100000 cubic
feet of water, the flood waters of a
drainage basin of 1896 square miles. y
The cutting of the timber has caused
the filling up of lakes because the
soil no longer is protected from ero-
sion by rains, and the floods and
droughts will each year become more
violent, and the limit of reservoir
capacity has been reached. It is for
this reason that those favoring the
revival of river transportation on the
Mississippi declare that the cutting
of timber on the Indian reservations
under the Morris bill, must be stop
ped and reforesting be fastened.

SAThER

Gophers out the 9Th day of January
must be something of rare, bit Of
news, but this was the report made
at the postoffice by our stage driver
and when old Samuel says SO it must
be so, as he is quite a trustworthy
man.
This morning we received a post
card from a dear friend in Pennsyl
vania in which. we were taken to task
for an, item which we, not Intention
ally omitted in our last correspond
ence. We beg pardon.
The incident proves that the Trib-
une is not read in North Dakota alone,
but we dare say in every state in
the union. n
Julius Andahl had quite a lively spin
with one of his teams one day last
week. While going down a hill near
his home one of the clevice pins in the
eveners dropped out and the pole was
detached from the neckyoke. This
started the horses on a lively run and
understanding that he had lost control
of the team, and perhaps thinking that
he was riding the blind baggage, JUL
us made a dive for liberty and escap-
ed unhurt. He is minus a wagon axle
and an old saying is that one mans
loss is anothers gain. This applies
in this case as Julius brought out
new Mant wagon Thursday. s.
Frank Kocher, ST., John Flanagan,
Herman Worst, VIM. and Emil Paul
and Peter Harvey, represented this
slocality in the Capital City on Thurs
day.
Lizzie Schonert and her brother Will
lie, have been on the sick list the
last few days, the cause being throat
trouble.
1t is reported that Mrs. Frank Koch
er, ST., will return home in the near
future. Mrs. Kocher has for the past
seven weeks spent a we'll earned vaca-
'tion visiting friends and relatives in
her native home in Pennsylvania and
when she returns home she will be
pleased to know that she in reality
has become a grandma since she de-
parted for the east.
