The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1903-03-27

thursday noon Oh 0dCn Week, II convenient,
as it saves time and trouble for both parties.
We reserve the right tc positively refuse
any notice Of whatever nature after 2 O'Clock
p. m. on Thursday.
: SPECIAL cattle trains between
range points don't cut much ice in a
voting contest, evidently.
The looks of yards about the city
is evidence that although the snow
was not deep it did cover a multi
tude of things that can be disposed
of without loss.
WHEN it comes to anything-for
fun, money or marbles-Virginia is
always lit" when placed in COM
petition with our neighbors from
the south end of the school district.
We wonder how the esteemed
editor of the Eveleth Mining News
will take it. Will probably move
his taxable interests out of the
district rather than pay such enor-
nous taxes.
WISE is the man who desires only
what he can obtain. He may have
to work hard to obtain it, as in the
case of the school bonding PROPOSE
ton, but the result exemplifes the
striking difference in the wisdom of
the peoples of two towns.
The street car ordinance con-
tinues to bob up serenely before the
people of various range communi-
ties. And in some instances the
proposition does not appear to
meet with as warm a reception as
it's promoters might desire.
IT was not a volcano which
struck Virginia Tuesday evening.
1t was simply a squad of visitors
from the south end of the school
district, who came in to get &C.
quainted. They found Virginia a
w~ide.awake little city, fully prepar-
ed for surprises at all times.
UNDER existing conditions the
people of School District No, %
may be able to overtake harmony in
time but it looks as though it
would be an awful long time It
would also seem that residents of
the south end of the district were
averse to training for the sprint.
THE fame of Duluth as a how Hing
wilderness where animals hold un-
molested possession, is spreading,
as evidenced by the fact that an
aged nimrod walked all the way
from St. Paul to Duluth the past
week to hunt wolves in the outskirts
of the trading post at the head of
the lakes.
SENATOR TILLMAN in the delivery
of a lecture on the race problem, in
a Minneapolis church Friday even
ing last, is accredited with the use
of stronger language than is u.s.
ually given vent in houses of wor-
ship. But the trustees of the church
are to be blamed for the occurrence
more than the speaker, whose sub.
ject is one upon which he is a crank.
WE presume Editor CARROT, of the
Eveleth Mining News, will this
week indite another article upon
the school election which will bear
out the self-evident fact that he has
bats in his belfry. But as the sup
erintendent of an Eveleth mine put
it Tuesday evening, "God knows the
people of Eveleth are not to blame
because the Divinity failed to fill
his skull with brains"
THE characteristic of politeness
seems to be developed to a larger
extent in the west than in any other
part of the country. Out in Mon.
tana the other day they sentenced a
man to be hanged, and he immedi
ately proceeded to thank the Judge
and jury in a very profuse and
touching manner, saying that he
much preferred having it that way
than to be sentenced to a ten years
term in the penitentiary. j
In speaking of the proposed bill
whereby county division may bt
made possible through legislativ,
enactment the Mesaba Ore says
"Hibbing will be backward abou
supporting the movement en-
Enthusiastically until there is som,
assurances as to the location of til,
