The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1907-04-26

While Virginia and Virginians
have repeatedly been assured dur
ing the winter months that the dis
grace and filth attached to it last
year through the action of it's
honored mayor, would this
spring be removed by the passage of
an effective impounding ordinance,
it would seem question: ble whether
or not such ordinance would be
passed to judge from the tone of
an ordinance introduced and given
its first reading at the Tuesday
evening council meeting.
The ordinance read is the same
instrument turned down by the
vote of the council in August last,
with the amendment that the "poor
mans cow as the mayor is pleased
to call her, is curtailed in a degree,
it being specified that she may run
at large, pay her calls and leave her
card only between the hours of a.
m. and 6 p. M, while the instru-
ment as originally drawn permit
ted her depredations between the
hours of 6 a. m. and p. m.
The introduction of the ordinance
caused ripple of excitement on
the council, Alderman Owens and
President Kimball evincing their
disapproval of Il half-hearted meas
ure in matter of 80 much import
ance to the home-owner and to the
city as a whole, and it's passage,
despite the fact that it seemingly
meets with the forced approval of
the Emperor, is doubtful.
The Enterprise believes it to be
public opinion that Virginia has
received odium enough through
the failure of the council to show
their will power by passing prop
er impounding ordinance over the
mayors veto last spring, and in
common with others who are look.
ing for the welfare and clea nliness
of the city rather than for votes, be-
lieve decisive step should be
taken for the protection of the
home. owners improvements by
giving protection from the bovine
pests at all hours.

gineers held an open session at 400

enjoyable time was had.
Cigars, songs and speeches were
on the bill of fare, delightful num-
bers being rendered by Messrs.
Hare, Culp, O'Leary, Mccarthy and
Skinner. Master Eugene Mccarthy
accompanied on the piano in most
artistic manner.

Notable Reduction IN Rates.

Through the efforts of the state
railroad and warehouse commits
sion express rates throughout the
state have suffered a reduction
which is pleasing to the patron,
but which will doubtless cut deep
on the profit side.
The new rates became effective on
the 10th inst, and hundred pound
package from this city to Duluth,
which formerly cost $1.OO, has been
reduced to 55 cents forty.five per
cent reduction. Similar rates
under the new schedule pertain to
all Minnesota points.

SHIPMENTS FROM VIRGINIA DISTRICT
BY the Oliver iron Mining Company
Will Be larQe.

That the Oliver company will
make Virginia one of their centers
of industry has been apparent for
several months past, or since the
commencement of work on the Ohio,
Lone Jack and Mormon mines was
commenced. But the fact is en-
phasized by the preparations for
shipment from these properties the
coming season as evidenced by an
initial order tor 100000 car tags
filled by The Enterprise this month
for the three mines named, while an
order for 5000 for the Higgins, and
100000 for the Mountain Iron and
Aetna mines, at Mount Iron, com
pleted the order.
At the present time a force of
about 450 men is employed at the
mines on the hill, three shovels and
five engines and train crews being
employed in stripping operations.
This force will be greatly increased
with the opening of shipments
which will commence at an early
date, tracks now being repaired and
laid in readiness therefor
At the, Higgins a large crew is
also gwen emproy yffffent; stripping
throughout the winter and placing
the mine in shape for greatly in
creased output.
At the Mountain Iron and Aetna
properties the company will keep
up its former reputation as the
largest producer, giving employ
ment to several hundred men
throughout the season and making
of Mount Iron a thriving center.

Diminutive Artists Delight Audiesce

Those who took occasion to visit
the Broadway last night were most
agreeably surprised by the clever
ness of the children appearing un.

Bostonians, in simple little
musical piece called Dorothy"
Rose Cole, as Dorothy, is pos
sessed of a wonderfully strong and
clear voice, which she has under
perfect control, and possessed, as
the young miss is, of a pretty stage
presence and a natural ability for
acting, she captivated the house
last night.
Lois Mason and Ruby Lang also
sing delightfully."-, and, with Lydia
Hawthorne and Miss Cole, have
quartette selection in the first act

comedian of the piece, is a funny
little chap who has the instincts of
funmaker, although he boasts not
much of a voice. But, for that mat
ter, comedian is not supposed to
be able TO do apythins, ;s:z
: But the hit of the company is the
less than diminutive seven.years-
old Halcyon Martin, a child pos.
sessed of much more ability than
many fullfledged professional
who is played up on three sheets

FAMOUS BACK TAX CASE"
Georgia Loses in Litigation Before the
e.pfeme Court Of u. s.

Atlanta, Nov. -O.-Georgia has lost
out in her famous back tax case be-
fore the supreme court Of the United
States, according to an Associated
Press dispatch received in Atlanta
Monday night.
This famous suit was brought
By the comptroller general against
the Georgia Railroad and Banking
company and the Central Of Georgia
Railway company to collect taxes,
since 1895, on 80 900 shares of stock
owned in the Western Railway Of AL
ALBANIA, by these roads to the extent
OF 10 600 shares each.
The aggregate OF taxes sued for was
about 100000, aud in the event the
state lad won aad collected these tax
es, $500, 600 would have gone for
state taxes and $500 600 for city and
county.
Richmond county and Augusta would
have been the favored ones in the
Georgia Railroad and Banking compa-
~ case and Savannah and Chatham
county in the Central of Georgia case.
Ia.> suit has been in some court for
the past five years. Ii was first
brought in the federal court before
Judge Newman, and the decision went
against the state; it was taken to the
curt Of appeals and again the state
ost and on a certiorri carried to the
supreme court of the United States,
where the state won it. It was brought
again into the STATE courts and car
ried through the supreme court Of
Georgia, where the state won it, to the
United States supreme court, from
whence the decision came.

His appearance in this city yesterday as
the soloist at the concert Of the Phila-

massive concerto in E fat major. a work
Of tremendous technical demands and, IN
the hands Of an artist. capable OF poetic
Interpretation. AS a master Of technique,
Lhevinne is every whit the equal GO
ROsenthal or D'Albert, and he has more
temperament than either His tone Is
rich. warm. round. and full. while he
gives 10 each separate note a remarkable
quality. His pedal work is nOticeably in
teliigent and effective. In the execution
of difficult arpeggios. and stiIi more intri-
cate chrOmaties. he is a marvel Of dex-
teTity, and vet he never sacrifices temper

ton which his playing occasioned. and
responded with an encore. POldini's

with admirable skill and feeling. Alto
gether, his appearance constituted nOta-
bic event.

direction OF Fritz Scheel did excellent
work although il perceptibly lacks the
solidity and polish Of older organizations.

which was given with abundant deIicacy
