THE report of the Virginia Fourth
of July committee, as made last
week, contained several errors in
| credit according to statements made
to The Enterprise scribe during the
week. These errors as reported
amount to the sum of $1,000, $1,000
OF which was donated by the Bank
of Virginia, $500 by Ned X. Farrand
and $1.O0 by B. F. Britts, for which
no credit was shown. These sums
are said to have been paid to Mayor
Thompson, chairman of the COM
mittee, and application to him will
doubtless result in finding the miss
ing coin and a proper accounting
therefor. Secretary Bickford's re-
port as made showed a proper &C.
counting for all moneys received by
and disbursed through his hands.
II. b. ROGERS. now of the Ely
Times but formerly connected with
the Hibbing Tribune, will appear
in district court to answer to a
charge of grand larceny preferred
by J. A. Mcintyre, publisher of the
Tribune. The case involves the
carrying away of the account books
of the Tribune office by Mr.. Rogers
when he left, and to which he con-
tends he had a perfect right. Mr..
Mcintyre sets up an allegation in
direct opposition to this claim and
Rogers has been placed under $3.50
bonds for his appearance. furnish

THE Hibbing News man is doing
an amount of "park" scheme delv-
ing just now, and suggests to the
citizens of Virginia and Eveleth
that they petition their respective
city councils to hand over the cash
necessary for the proposed "twin"
city park, and in case of failure in
obtaining desired results advises
them to apply to the village coun-
Gil of Hibbing. We fear, however,
that the joint owners of a "twin"
city park as mentioned would get
along in a mutual enterprise very
much like two strange bulldogs.
A PETITION is being circulated by
Carlton county people asking for
the opening of the Fond du Lac res
ervation. The reservation includes
some of the best farming lands in
the state, and as there are but COM
paratively few Indians on the reser-
walton, and they make little or no
effort to improve the land, it is
deemed expedient that the lands be
opened for honest settlement.
IT is said that our old friend P. H.
McGarry is again in financial trou-
BILE, at Walker. But if Patrick can
save his reputat ton and his gall
from the wreck he need have no fear
of the future. He would still be fit
ted to re-enter the newspaper bust
ness or chase up a post office.
COUNTY AUDITOR HALDEN will
this year refuse hunting licenses to
all applicants under Fl years of age,
a very proper act, and will also
charge residents of the county
$25 for licenses, the same as charg-
ed non-residents of the state.
WE note by our Gogebic exchang-
es that the little city of Bessemer is
to be blessed by the addition of an
other newspaper. A ripe field for
someone to learn that hot air is not
all that is required to keep a coun-
try editor in bed and board.
DRAW the immigration laws a
trifle tighter and there will be less
of anarchy and more room found
for honest, patriotic Americans in
these United States.
WITH the red flag of anarchy on
the run, it is now the time to head
after that other foe to American lib
erty-the monopolistic combina-
ton of capital.
