The tonnage tax bill met defeat
in the house on Tuesday by vote
of SO to 81, after a spirited debate led
on the one side by Representative

on the other by Representative jeff

who talked 80 long and to 80 little
purpose in defense of the measure
that his colleague, Representative
Bjorge, finally felt impelled to ask
him to resist.
The address by Representative

of the ranges is the iron deposits,
and while not advocating a low tax

right and equality in a convincing
manner.
Mr.. Miller contended that the i'm
position of tonnage tax would
prove the least harmful to the steel
corporation; that it would be the
independent operator that would
suffer most from such measure as
the steel corporation is in position
to transfer it's operations to a great

counties, where the search for iron
is as yet in it's infancy.

WORK COMMENCED on NEW MILL.
Force Now At Work on Virq;oia's New
1nduStrv.

Duluth may have her steel plant,
and the north country rejoices in
her good fortune; but Virginia is
as much or more interested in the
new sawmill proposition, and re.
joices in the fact that actual work
on the mammoth new plant has
been started during the past week.
The work is in charge of r. L.
Hoyt, of Minneapolis, who arrived
in the city Saturday, together with
crew of millwrights, and has the
work of construction under way.
1t is the expectation to have the
new plant, which will be one of the
largest and most complete in the
thwest-furnishing employment
to four hundred workmen and with
a daily capacity of 100000 feet, ready
tor operation by the 1st of August.
Not a steel plant, but an industry
which means as much to Virginia,
comparatively, as does the prospec-
tive big industry at the head of the
lakes to the Zenith City.

discovery of iron on the Minnesota
ranges, is at last to be realized, and
the future of the Zenith City as a
commercial and industrial center
assured by the news flashed over
the wires on Monday of the final de-
:cision of the United States Steel
Corporation to establish gigantic
steel works at the head of the lakes.
The initial appropriation for the
big enterprise will be between &c.
100000 and $4,000 900, and means the
placing of Duluth in the front
rank of the industrial centers of
the west.
1t will mean the furnishing of
employment to thousands of skilled
workmen, and the growth of the
city at rapid rate.
And in the good fortune which
comes to Duluth every citizen of
st. Louis county has part.

4 DAY CURRENT IN PROSPECT.
Commercial Club Discusses Idea With
Manaqer 6riqqs OF L. & w. Co.

The question of day current is
not a new one in Virginia, but it is
one which has heretofore been &C.
corded but casual attention by the
individual. The growing import
ance of the city and increasing nec-
essity for such accommodation,
however, demanded the attention of
the Commercial Club Wednesday
evening and the movement assum.
ed different form.
Manager Griggs, of the Light &
Water company, was present and
stated that with the installation of
the new machinery at the power
plant the company was now in po.
sition to furnish such service, but
that at rough estimate the cost to
the company would be from $500 to
$500 per month, necessitating a
guarantee of from 60 to rs horse
power consumption.
Upon motion, the chair was au-
thorized to appoint a committee of
three to interview our business peo-
pie and users of power, to ascertain
80 far as practicabl the initial load
that might be expected. President
Tredway will name this committee
later, selecting men who will be the
most interested in the success of
the movement through personal
motives.
N. Steinberg also brought up the
question of existing light and wat
er rates, claiming that such rates
las charged by the local company
are abnormally high as compared
with rates charged in other NUM-
Ecipalitiee. This contention brought
Ion a spirited discussion between
Mr.. Steinberg and Manager Griggs,
being finally disposed by motion
that the secretary write other north.
ern Minnesota cities asking rates
paid for similar service, together
with other Information bearing on
Ethe question.
President Tredway fathered sug-
Igestion which met with unanimous
Iapproval, that the secretary be in.
Estructed to extend the compliments
/ of the Club to the st. Louis mem.
bers of the Legislature for their val
liant work against the tonnage tax
measure, the fret organized move.

THE MAYORS fEELlN's ARE nvR1ED
But He Figures That $4,000 viii
Repair the Damages.

The more or less honorable Will
liam Henry Eaton, the man who as
mayor of the city of Virginia took
his solemn oath to uphold the laws
of the state of Minnesota and the
Constitution of the United States,
has had his feelings hurt by divers
and sundry articles which have
from time to time appeared in the
columns of this very respectable
family journal, but from the pur-
port of a complaint served upon
the editor hereof during the week it
would seem that his rufHed honor
was of a nature that could be sooth-
ed for price-the paltry sum of
$4,000 being the figure named as
an adequate indemnity for the in
juries allegedly sustained.
1t is not for the Enterprise to pub
licly discuss the document or the
man who signed same as plaintiff;
in fact, we feel that should we at
tempt to do so we should acquire a
lasting grudge against old Noah
Webster for his failure to provide
adjectives of sufficient strength and
volubi]ity to properly cover the
subject.
But we would state that if we cor
rectly interpret the statutes the
laws of the state of Minnesota pro.
vide esta blished rules for the regu-
lation of the liquor traffic; and the
zeal of the present mayor of the city
of Virginia in living to his oath of
office is duly attested by the man
ner in which he looks after these
provisions.
We would further submit that the
state law provides against gam.
bling and gambling devices within
the confines of the commonwealth;
and the zeal of the present mayor
of the city of Virginia in living to
his oath of office is duly attested by
the manner in which he looks after
these provisions.
We would further submit that the
laws of the state of Minnesota pro-
vide against what are generally re.
ferred to as houses of ill-fame; and
the zeal of the present mayor of the
city of Virginia in living to his oath
of office is duly attested by the
manner in which he looks after
the enforcement of these provisions
for the safeguarding of virtue.
We would submit that it is Truth
which hurts, and that our answe.
to the complaint will be filed in due
time; that thereafter our readers
will be kept in touch with the points
of interest in the game.
In the meantime we shall cut
down our expenses for chewing
gum, that we may amass a suffi.
cient amount of salve to soothe the
narrowed feelings of the friend OF
the poor mans cow-when the court
advises us it is time.
