Consider Cemetery Sites.

The citizens Of Eveleth, who since
the birth of that town have inferred
their dead in the Virginia cemetery,
are considering the idea of estab.
fishing cemetery of their own. A
wise idea, and one which cannot
but appeal to all residents. At any
season OF the year, and more es-
pecially in the winter, seven mile
drive is not recreation which ap
peals to one. Then there is the
home pride side of the proposition.
The proposition will also appeal
to the liverymen of our neighbour
ing city who will book big saving
in horse flesh, it being the habit of
many of those who accompany a
funeral cortege to the Virginia
cemetery to enjoy the sport of rae
ing horses on the return trip.
