The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1902-03-07

The meeting of the stockholders
of the road was for the purpose of
going over the work already ac-
complished and of providing for
pushing the work of construction
north toward Koochiching#as fast
as possible this spring, summer
and fall. An official of the con-
struction company said yesterday
that he had every reason to- believe
they would have the road through
to the international boundary by
next fall. The road is now graded
for distance of 20 miles and the
steel laid for 10. Steel for the other
ten miles has been delayed in de-
livery, owing to the heavy demand
for such material, but the company
has been assured that the rails are
now being rolled.
The Duluth, Virginia & Rainy
Lake road has completed connec-
tons at Virginia with the Duluth,
Missabe & Northern and the East
ern Minnesota roads. The Iron
Range road enters Virginia also,
and it may be that the new road
will connect with it later on.
The directors of the Land and
Construction company elected the
following officers for the ensuing
year: President, J. L. Washburn;
vice-president, HI. L. Levy; treasur-
er, w. X. Coffin, and secretary, J. F.
Walsh. Messrs. Levy and Coffin
are of Eau Claire.-News-T Tribune.

The BLIND GODDESS.

Il will show that smart--that
he can't come in here and tell me
how to run this court and 1 will
beat any case he comes in here on,
and if can't beat him one way I
can in another"
This was the startling statement
contained in an application for an
order requiring Justice J. H. Flem-
ing, of Biwabik, to make an amend
ed and correct return of a case
wherein one William Martin
brought suit against one Charles
Verrill for labor performed.
The author of the statement was
Justice Fleming and the person at
whom it was aimed was Attorney
w. w. Browne, counsel for Verrill.
1t seems that on January 20 Yer
rill appeared before Justice Fle,n-
ing to answer to summons issued
by the court. His attorney asked
that the complaint be filed so that
he might know the grounds upon
which the action was brought and
be enabled to answer same. 1t is
alleged that the court refused to do
this and without consulting either
party postponed the case for one
week. On January ~ Verrill with
his attorney appeared again and
the latter moved that the case be
dismissed on the ground that no
pleadings had been filed as requir-
ed by law. The court denied the
motion and straightway proceeded
to hear and determine the action
against Verrilps protest.
Alfred Laix, an Interpreter has
filed an affidavit corroborating the
foregoing. He said further that the
! court not only tried the case against
the protest of defendant but that he
even gave testimony himself. The
parties in the court room soon be-
gan to file out, and when nearly
every one was gone the justice, &C
cording to Laix, uttered the state
ment made in the opening para
graph.-News-Tribune.

WEST END NOTES.

Capt. Jas. H. Pear:e informed the
News this week that there is an err
ror in the report of the lease hold
ings of himself, E. B. Hawkins, Geo.
H. Crosby and o. D. Kinney in 57-22.
The report says 81 forties, but the
fact is the gentlemen control 80 for
ties, aside from the four recently
disposed disposed of to the Deer
ing interests. The Deering lease
contains upwards of 100000 tons
of ore, and Capt. Pearce says his
people expect to show up tonnage
of ore that will stagger the world.
Their holdings are west of and adj
joining the Deering and Capt. Perez
says it il all iron ore. Four drills
are at work and seven additional
drills will be placed next week, for
the purpose of giving the land a
thorough test, The ore in this To-
cality is generally of a low grade,
though the Deering has 100000
tons of ore that is exceptionally
good.

THE STATE rs EEM1NINE.

An esteemed exchange of h e
o be, the Mirror, of Manchester, N.
H., calls attention to the fact that in
the application presented to the supreme
court of the United States to prevent the
Northern Securities company from buy
ing certain railroad stocks, the state Of
Minnesota is referred to as your
oratr1x''
Now, tnasmuch as "oratrix" is femi-
nine, it is apparent that Attorney Gen
eraI Douglas regards the state as femi-
nine, and from his use of the word there
may come a decision by the ultimate
authority of the land on the subject The
esteemed Mirror points out that up to
the present time no court of competent
Jurisdiction has undertaken to say
whether state is masculine or feminine,
and that the precedent of the Minnesota
attorney general is subject to discus
sion.
When the supreme court hands down
its decision in the case it may contain
the court adopts the word ''oratrix, by
that token we may know beyond ques-
ton that the state is feminine. But if,
as has been the case, the court does not
feel competent to decide such weighty
matter-one, it is true, not involved as
vital part of the litigation in question
then every one will be left to his own
conjecture and contention.
The esteemed Mirror pays tie state
graceful compliment by declaring that,
should the supreme court decide Mime
sofa to be feminine. it must be confessed
that she is a fair and buxom female
Accepting it as foregone conclusion
that we are female, r h e G l 0 b e blows
a kiss to the esteemed Mirror in
acknowledgment, and comedies that a
fair sister would see herself as others
see her if she but held before her face

MIR. TAYLoR's UNIvERsALIsM.

To the Editor Of The Globe:
Rev. Mr.. Taylor has seized an early
opportunity to criticise a report Of a
sermon of mine appearing in I n
G 10 b e.
Anyone at all skilled in such matters
would have known at once that the re-
port was not furnished by me and there
fore could not be the basis Of contro-
versy. The report was excellent enough
as such things go. but the change Of q
single word changed the entire force Of
a paragraph. I used the word 'elect''
and not the word "seet" in speaking OF
the CaIvinists. This makes further COM
ment unnecessary
1 regret to note that Mr.. Taylor wishes
to confine attention to the position of his
denomination in the last fifty years. 1t
was prior to that time that it had It's
most heroic and It's most interesting his
tory, and 1t would be well for him to 7e-
view the history Of Hosea Ballou with
his death and glory salvation which
was an effective protest against the cruel
and rigid Calvinism of his time
My own views have been authoritative
ly published in my "Retribution," to
which I trust Mr.. Taylor will call atten-
ton when circulating literature on the
subject, though I regret that 1t cannot
be had upon the terms named-''free of
charge" -Samuei u. Smith.

BENEDICT WILL OPPOSE
SENATOR AGAINST EXEMPTION
CLAUSE OF NEW LAW.

Senator c. l.. Benedict, of Mankato
has issued a call to his constituents urg-
ing them to give him their views on the
tax bill. He says:
Having examined the report Of the tax
commission and the proposed bill forum
lated by them. and being DESTROYS of a s.
ceftanlng what the people want me to
do in reference to the matter I would
urge every person who has an interest
IN tax legislation to either call and see
me mere or write me at this city or St
Paul and give me their ideas in refer
ence to the same.
There is one item in the proposed bill
that / cannot support and will not SUM
port the bill if the same is left in the
Dill; that IS the cutting down the exemp-
ton from 800 to $25 The cutting down
OF such exemption is against the interest
OF the poor man. Under the present law
his property is listed at one-hadf of its
true value, making it really an exemp-
ton of $500. Under the present proposed
law only $25 is exempt and the full value
or his personal property is put into the
schedule at that. Taking the old law as
basis there would not be more than
$3.50 exempt to the poor man and his
family.
There is another item in said proposed
bill, designated therein as section so. This
section requires all persons to list, besides
his own property, all property CONTROL I'd
by him as agent, attorney or banker. Sec
ton defines how the term ''persan" shall
the existing law the word banker This
means that the banker must list his de-
posts. This would not affect national
banks, for the reason that the courts
have already held that this could not be
done for the reason that such a procedure
would necessarily conflict with the bust
ness of such banks. The courts hold that
to conform to such a law would neces-
sarily cause a run on banks just before
the time of making assessments, and
would therefore interfere with the stabil-
ity Of such banks. But what as to state
banks created under the laws of this
state? I call the attention of bankers to
such provision.
There were many other items upon
which could dwell, but will not at this
time. My only desire is to know what
the people want, and when do they may
rest assured that I will try to carry out
their wishes. While some of my enemies
are holding meetings to try to defeat me
If should run again for the Office of
state senator, l shall spend my time in
carefully looking over each detail of said
proposed bill and try to carry out so far
as possible the wishes of the people Of
this county.

To Rival Coney Island

TO Rival COney Island
There is great curiosity at City Island
concerning the makeup of the syndicate
that has purchased and optioned $500, 900
worth of property there in less than a
month. The people who have sold their
property are as much in the dark regard
ing the identity of the purchasers as any
one else. H. S. Pell, the local real estate
broker through whom all of the transac-
tons have been conducted, declines to
unravel the mystery.
The latest report is that the entire
island is to be turned into a summer re-
sort to rival Coney Island just as soon
as the transit facilities now under way
can be completed.
