shown industry and thrift in his work in this section.  He is now
handling a good trade as blacksmith, in Orient, and owns his shop

and there also learned the carpenter trade.  In 1886 he came to the 
United States with his father, being then eighteen years of age, and

of carpenting in Duluth, then took up merchandising with his brother
in the same city.  Later, he went to teaming and followed this until
1897.  After that he removed to ALberta, Canada, and took up land, 
which later he sold and came on to Greenwood, in British Columbia.

followed blacksmithing and wood working.  Being a first class mechanic,
