A Big Vote In Prospect.

IVirginia's growth duringthe past
two:years is best attestedlby the in.
crease in the prospective vote OF
the city as compared with the mu.
nicipai election of two years ago,
when slightly in excess to 500 votes
were polled in the city at large.
This years registration shows a
total of 9O8 voters who are DESTROYS
of using their franchise by having
a'vote in the running of the city
for the ensuing two years by regist-
ering for the election on Tuesday
next.
This number shows a wide dis.
crepancy in the various wards of
the city, the Third with 312 showing
up as the banner ward, while the
old second, which for many years
was the big ward at election time,
has dropped down to the last place
on the list, with a registration OF
175. The first shows up with a
registration af 1872, and the Fourth
comes in for second place with a
registration of 239.

WI wonder if, in case of defeat,
Mayor Eaton will follow the step
taken four years ago by depicting
the city treasury and paying out
thousands of dollars for hauling
several inches of mud or paint rock
onto II business thoroughfares
for the succeeding administration
to care for and remove.
IN the selection of Edward G. A.
johnson as a candidate for alder
man from the Fourth and of John
L.. Owens as a candidate for alder
man from the First it is generally
conceded that the Independent
ticket has been materially strength
ened. Both have been members of
the council for two years past, and
have proven their efficiency in a
manner deserving their return.
GEORGE W. COOLEY, engineer of
the state highway commission,
during a visit to the range examin-
ed a number of the iron ore made
roads of the section and reports his
belize that lean ore makes excellent
roads. MI. Cooley never examined
the paint rock road built on Chest
nut street some four years ago as
n of the last acts of the former
Eaton administration, so he made
no report as to whether or not paint
rock and rain mixed good in the
making of a highway.
THE closing down of the lumber
camps to the north and west of
Virginia will have a tendency to
fill the city with a few hundred adj
ditianal "citizens" on Tuesday next.
It will therefore behoove the boards
of election in the various wards Of
the city to be on their guard and to
read up on the law relative to
woodsmen and railroad men not
being eligible as electors. And it
might also be we'll for the floating
voter to remember that he will be
carefully watched and his answers
taken for future reference, and that
the law will be enforced on illegal
voters in every instance.

The supreme court of North
Dakota has upheld the c~onstitu-
tiouality of the law requiring the
publication of an official notice by
the holder of a government tax re-
ceipt, commonly known as a govern
ment liquor license. If a similar
law was in vogue in Minnesota it
would prove of valuable assistance
in locating the numerous "blind
pig" dives which are alleged to in
fest the range-and which the
county attorney is alleged to be
strenuously seeking, without ap-
parent success.
The "tar-paper shack" occupied
by The Enterprise and the fact that
it furnished rs an opportunity of
emptying a cuspidor out of our W
window has long been a thorn in
the side of a certain Virginian; and
the fact that our present abode is
soon to be changed for one of the
finest structures on the street seem.
ingly prods the thorn a little deep
er. But a quarter century of bust
ness life has convinced US that it is
impossible to please both ourselves
and our business competitors at all
times, and right or wrong we have
usually consulted Jul own feelings
first relative to affairs of a private
aatuFe.
