Would Refer 1t to Business Men.

There is a general sentiment
among the citizens and residents of
Virginia that before the city coun-
Gil grants franchise to the Mesaba
Traction company or to any other
company, that the council ought to
appoint committee of three of the
reputab bic business men of the city
to investigate and report to the
council within one week from Tues
day, February 5, which of the two
companies that have presented
their franchises for consideration
of the Virginia council will be most
acceptable to Mt. Iron. Bull, CHS
holm and Hibbing, as it is gener-
ally understood that there will be
trouble in getting a street railway
line into the towns of the western
Mesaba unless the people there are
in favor of granting a franshise to
such company as may secure a
franchise from Virginia.
To obtain street railway simply
to Eveleth and Biwabik would be
valueless to the city of Virginia.

Al Uncalled For Roast,

AT the meeting of the St. Louis
County Good Roads Association in
Duluth on Thursday evening last
one A. B. McManus made a number
of statements which have the ap-
pearance of cheap notoriety rather
than conviction, and stamp him az
a man to whom Truth is stranger.
In the course of denunciatory re-
marks against the present system
of road building in this county Mr..
McManus charges that "the system
is a rank robbery OF the taxpayers"
and claims that the $4,000 road
fund appropriated for the present
year will, for the most part, "be
thrown away" and that the actual
benefits resulting from the expendi-
ture of this vast sum will not have
an actual cash value of more than
5000 or $780,"
In other words, the speaker has
charged that the board Of county
commissioners will throw away SIS
of road money to each dollar that
is judiciously expended. A broad
charge. and one which will not
stand investigating nor which Mr..
AcManus can back at any stage.
In common with the membe of
the Good Roads Association the
Enterprise scribe desires to see
good use made of all moneys, but
we believe this has, with the single
exception of the famed Miller Trunk
Road, been done in the case Of
every road built in St. Louis
county for the past decade, and We
further believe the commissioners
have been honest in all expendi.

BUYS Land.

acres of land in Itasca county, just
west Of Floodwood. The Longyea1

with dia drills and the exten.

belief that ore has been found in
sufficient quantity to warrant the

ton of Itasca county.

The ''23" Hoodoo.

The following dispatch from a
Minneapolis paper under a Little
Falls date line is a concise state
ment of the effects of an overworked
hoodoo:
"A queer mixup occurred on Wed
nesday evening, Jan. %, in the local
freight yards. To begin with, a
train pulled by engine 1928 arrived
in the city at % minutes after IL
o'clock, Canadian time 1928.
The engine had 81 loads and
switched eight of them off on a
sidetrack, and had % cars hooked
onto it when the accident occurred.
The engine 1928, with the % cars
coupled to it, which had come into
the station at % minutes after IL
O'Clock on the evening of Jan. %
had just entered a switch when the
23d rail from a point between the
railroad crossing and the paper
mill spread and engine 1928 went
off the track.
No serious damage was done and
the trainmen stood around making
remarks for about % minutes and
then set about getting the engine
back on the rails. This was accom-
plished in several hours and %
minutes, and by that time it was
Jan. "a and the hoodoo was broken
and the train resumed it's journey
westward.
The whole story in a nutshell is
that engine 1928, with % cars
coupled to it, which had entered
the local yards at 1928 on the night
of Jan. %, ran off switch owing to
the spreading of the 23d rail from a
point between the depot and the
paper mill-and there you are,
skidoo!"

stated to the council at a meeting
held one week ago that he wanted
to be convinced of the financial
ability of the promoters of the re-
spective street railway companies
to build the street railway line and
to equip the same, and the council
adopted resolution instructing
the city attorney to write to the
persons who had been named by
the respective promoters as ready
and willing to furnish the money
and to finance their respective CON-
panies, and to ascertain if the state
ments made by Mr.. Berdie and MIR.
Meyers relative to their backing
were founded on fact. No inquiries
were made of Mr.. Berdie's hackers.
although almost at the last minute
Mr.. Shea telephoned at the request
of Mr.. Berdie and Mr.. Haley to
Judge Middlecoff at Duluth who re-
piled that he was willing and ready
to furnish the money. on bonds to
Mr.. Berdie's company to build and
equip the road. Did that informal
ton have any effect on the mem bers
