NEW MILL OPENS NEXT MONDAY.
Plant Jurned Over Saturday aad Found
IN Fine Shape Throuqhout.


The mammoth new mill of the
Virginia Lumber Co., the finest IN
the northwest, was turned over
for the first time on Saturday last,
and was found to work to perfec-
tion throughout, and on Monday
next the plant will be put in steady
commission.
The mill has a daily capacity of
100000 feet, and will be run double
shift the year around, furnishing
employment to an army of work
men and meaning much to Vir-
ginia's prosperity. The plant was
installed by the Allis Chalmers
Company, and would have been put
in commission the present week
but for lack of a conveyor chain to
the huge burner.
1t is understood to be the inten-
tion of the company to shortly close
their old mill at this point for ex-
tensive repairs, greatly increasing
it's capacity. This work is expected
to take several months, and the
plant may be idle the greater part
of the winter.
The company has an estimated
timber supply for it's big plant for
upwards of twenty years, and con-
tinual additions are being made by
purchases of new tracts.

WRECK on GREAT NORTHERN.
local freight Runs lato Strinq Of Ore
Cars from Brunt Nine.

The local freight train on the
Great Northern, which is supposed
to get into Virginia at about 1000
a. M, but which always gets here
sometime between that hour and
1880 the following day, was jogging
along toward the close of it's run al
late hour Tuesday evening when
it bumped into string of loaded
ore cars that had broken loose from
the Brunt mine siding aud ran
down onto the main track. And
the manner in which flat cars were
made of box cars and mud scows
were made of ore cars would cause
one to wonder that the entire train
crew was not sent on their last run
together.
Ae it was, however, the engineer
aud fireman we're both injured
slightly, while others of the crew
escaped with but few scratches.
The injured men were brought to
local hospital and their wounds
dressed, and left the following day
for their homes at Superior for a
short lay-off while undergoing re.
pairs.

of! Joseph Cassiday will appear on

city convention, but it has been
stated that Mr.. Emlau would not
accept of the nomination and that
his name would be withdrawn from
the ballot. In such case it is more
than likely that Mayor Eaton, who
constitutes the Republican party
in local politics, will name some
other candidate for the position.

Reception to Rev. and Mrs. loqan.

One of the most pleasant affairs

MRS. Logan on the eve of their de-
parture for Minneapolis, where Rev.
Logan has been assigned for the
ensuing year.
A musicall program was en-.
joyed by all, after which Mrs. Logan
was presented with a beautiful
Mexican drawn work lunch cloth
by members of the choir and with
several pieces of hand.painted
China by the ladies of the church,
and Mr.. Logan was the recipient of
a fountain pen from the members
of his Sunday School class.
Luncheon was prepared by the
ladies and served in the spacious
dining hall, after which all united
in wishing Mr.. Logan and his
estimable wife Godspeed and a
pleasant year in their work at

Some Jhinqs for Parents to ThinkAbout

The National Educational Associ.
alton, at it's recent annual session,
passed resolution regarding the
prevailing faults Of children with
which teachers have to contend,
which parents will dc, we'll to con.
slider. The four chief faults report
ed were: 49,
"A tendency toward a. Disregard
for constituted authority; lack OF
respect for age and superior wis
dom; weak appreciation of the
demands of duty;a disposition to
follow pleasure and interest rather
than obligation and order"
Parents owe it both to their child.
rem and the teacher of their child
reu to visit the school. 1t is toe
often the case that parents know
nothing about teachers or the
school except what their children
report at home, and the report is
too often biased or colored up by
,he children, to the detriment of the
teacher and to the great advantage
of the children, even to downright
lying. To insure square deal te
teachers parents should visit the
schools. Another thing, parents
are allowing too much freedom tc
the children in the matter of spend
ing the evening hours. The idle
loating on the streets or in public
places, going to parties where there
are no teachers or responsible olde,
persons present, the reading oi
tlashy novels, and the frequent at
tendance on cheap, worthless shows
all have tendency to grow ul
boys and girls who do not like tc
work, who form wrong ideas of life
who have bad manners and low
standard of morals, and who art
not apt to become good citizens
The homes and the schools shoulc
work together for the good of al
the children. If your children ar,
carrying idle tales home make it :
point to visit the school and lear,
the truth.
