H1o1h issue or FeDruary "a, 1893:
A citizens meeting in the Hayes
building on Saturday evening last
brought some fifty of our people to-
gether, the object of the meeting be-
ing the organization of a volunteer
fire department, the perfecting of a
business mems association and the
consideration of the project for hus-
Ting for city charter and the pros.
pective territory to be included in
the prospective city limits. The
meeting was called to order by Mr..
L. McNeel, who waived the right of
procedure to the embryo fire CON-
pany which formally organized by
the election of the following Off
GERS: President, J. A. McVichie;
chief, E. w. Coons; assistant chief,
E. F. Riddle; treasurer, George Lie
brock; secretary, P. J. Ryan. The
right to select the foreman and as
sistant foreman was granted Chief
Coons. Thirty-two members were
enrolled. X X The matter of
the city charter was taken up, Mr..
McNeel presiding and Mr.. Coons
acting as secretary. Inthe absence
of Mr.. N. MCInnis he had written
letter to Mr.. McNeel in which he
championed the annexation of ter
ritory to the north, south and west
of the village plat, and Mr.. Taylor,
as chairman of the committee ap-
pointed, made a verbal report in
which he stated that by taking in
one forty north, one forty south and
one forty on the west it would give
us city plat one mile square. Some
discussion was INDUCED in relative
to the advisab ility of taking in the
mining properties to the east, but it
appearing thatno benefit to the city
by way of taxation would be deriv-
ed from doing so it was the sense of
the meeting that such a course
would hurt rather than benefit the
taxpayers of the place. All who
were present were Of the opinion

From issue of February II, 1898:
Several more saloon licenses have
been issued during the past week.
There are now over one hundred
buildings on the TOWNSHIP.
New buildings are being started
every day, and soon it will be pos
s1ble to accommodate many of those
who desire to engage in business in
our promising city.
The framework of Mr.. Finlavson's
immense sawmill is going up. Work
will be pushed with the utmost Wig
or until the plant is ready for oper-
alton. The completion of this mill
will mark the Inauguration of
business which is destined to be-
come no small factor in the build
ing Of Virginia.
The fine building for the Bank of
Virginia is nearing completion and
will soon be in readiness for occu-
pancy.
The spring boom does not wait
for the close of winter, but build
lngs and buildings are being erect
ed on all sides.
r. The village council at its last
session decided to proceed at once
to the work of putting down
good wide sidewalks on Chestnut
street. These walks will be sixteen
feet wide-the proper width to &C.
commodate the spring rush and to
properly care for a snake.trail Jag.
Days come and days go, but peo-
pie who come to Virginia do not go
unless it be to bring their fami-
lies and friends back with them,
Mr.. Neil McInnis was the first cit
izen to show his appreciation of the
Enterprise by planking down a
years subscription. His example
was quickly followed by goodly
number of others and the publish
er's heart was made to rejoice.

pected that NJ Gallant will send over his

4 CONTROVERSY

Complaint has been made to the harbor
master OF Newport by Rear Admiral Ev-
ans that on Aug. II at the time OF a thick
fog, the mail steamer O. w. Danietson.
commanded by Capt w. Talbot Dodge
of Block Island. failed to turn from her
course In answer to a whistle from tn,
torpedo boat destroyer Stewart.
This action on the part of the Daniel
son, so II Is claimed, endangered the safe
ty of the torpedo boat.
Both parties in the controversy are
widely known navigators and the tilt, IL II
ever comes to a hearing. promises TO be
one of the most Interesting Both Fight
ing Bob Evans and Pilot 'Tal" have
regulations for calling things by their
right names and there is nothing artificial
to either OF the men, so II is the general
opinion that IL the two can ever be brought
together to fight out their respective sides,
the result will be most forcible exhibi-
ton OF the technical attainments or lam
guage qualifications of the two.
Capt. Tai Dodge was interviewed on
the matter last evening by means of the
cable telephone TO Block Island. He was
asked IL he was captain OF the Danielson
on the day OF the accident. His reply
came back smoothly enough, until the
captain came TO the really interesting part
brass -buttoned officials. At this point
there was something wrong with the ca
BILE because the reporter caught only
some vague sounds that rhymed with ram,
lamb and so forth.
