Indians Offer Services As Guides and Canoeists For Duck 

 Hunters. 



At Orr on Pelican lake and on the Boies Fort reservation 

 on Net lake, there are a number of Indians who offer their 

 services each fall as canoe men to take out duck hunters. 

 These Indians are very good at this work and usually are 

 paid at the rate of $2.50 a day. The fishing on Lake Vermil- 

 lion is excellent, and the big game hunting, as good as can 

 be found. There is very little wild rice in Lake Vermillion, 

 consequently the ducks do not gather there in large numbers. 

 Net lake, however, is entirely covered with rice and is one 

 of the best in the state for hunting. Pelican lake, too, fur-- 

 nishes good duck shooting, while deer and moose are fairly 

 plentiful in the country north of it. The following list may 

 be taken as reliable:
