Indiana Working at Logging.

It is reported that the Indians of Bad River Reservation, near Ashland, have never been in better condition than they are this winter. The recommendation of Indian Agent Mercer, which brought the Washington officials to favorably consider the proposition of logging on the reservation, is responsible for the happy condition. J. L. Stearns, the lumberman, has deposited a bond of $50,000 with the Washington officials and begun logging on the reserve, giving ample employment to all the Indians who wish to work, and at a very fair rate of wages. He has eighty Indians at work now, and they are getting out 50.000 feet of logs daily. The attendance at the Indian School on Bad River Reservation has never been so large as this winter.—[Milwaukee Wisconsin. /•Jerusalem has been modernized by a railroad.
