The executive council may have to
back peddle little on the question
Of the assignment of rooms at the
state house. The council ordered that
the geological survey be moved to the
residence building standing on the
states land east of the capitol across
the street. This was to make room for
the secretary of the executive coun-
Gil which in turn was to make room
for the attorney general. But the geo.
logical survey department objects.
Prof. Calvin Of the State University,
wno is the state geologist and man
of such ability that the state wouldn't
lose him for anything, has called at
tention to the fact that the rooms of
the geological survey are filled with
charts and field work notes that are of
inestimable value II has taken years
of labor to prepare them and their val

Had a fine Time.

The fret annual ball of Virginia
Lodge No 746, B. of r. T., held at
the Fay Opera on Friday evening
last, was pronounced success in
every particular, and the many
guests of the evening are protuse
in their praise of the boys as enter
tainers.
Music was furnished by Wilson's
Orchestra, and the fact that range
people need no longer send to Du-
luth or elsewhere for first-class
music was proven in a pleasing
manner, it being the consensus of
opinion that no superior music was
ever furnished party in this city.
The hall was appropriately decor
ated for the occasion in neat and
tasty manner, the display doing
credit to the committee in charge
and winning the admiration of at
tendants.
Many guests Of the evening were
present from Duluth, Superior and
range points, and the pleasant
evening spent will tend to again
bring them to Virginia for future
events of similar nature.

- the Comiaq Season..
w. II: Cook, of Duluth, president
of the Duluth, Rainy Lake 4 Win
nipeg road, who has been in Chi
cago for the past week, left for home
last night after having closed a,
contract for the sale Of bonds
whereby his road will be extended
from Virginia, Mimi, on the Mesaba
range, to Duluth. The extension,
which will be seventy miles, is fully
financed and the construction work
will be accomplished this year and
ready for operation by Jan. / next.
1t is learned here that. bids will be
called for on the construction work
within few days..
Several surveys have been made
for the proposed extention between
Virginia. and Duluth, and it is said
that one that is very advantageous
as to grades, and very direct, has
been selected. The extension will
give Duluth direct line to Win.
nipeg by way of Virginia and In
sternational Falls.
The Duluth, Rainy Lake & Win
nipeg has a traffic arrangement
with the Canadian Northern road
and will tap that line at Pether's
Point, e couple of miles east of In
ternational Falls. The route
between Duluth and Winnipeg will
be in connection with that line.
The total length of the: Duluth
Rainy Lake & Winnipeg main line
will be about 40 miles. The ex-
tension from Virginia to the Rainy
River is. being pushed and the
grading will be done April /, and
trains running July1.
It is also learned that the Duluth.
Rainy Lake 4 Winnipeg road has
acquired dock property in the
upper harbor in Duluth on which
will be erected an ore dock, a lum.
Der dock and merchandise dock.
These will be constructed next fall
and winter and be ready for opera
tion by the opening of navigation
1908, The new road expects to
handle not only. q, large volume of
aumber, merchandise and general
traffic, but enjoy q share ST the. ore
traffic also. -.

Thinks Little OF Chinese Army.

DR.. Morrison, the well-known corre-
spondent of the London Times at Pc
king, went to see the recent maneu-
vers of the modernized Chinese army
in the neighborhood OF Chang-te-fu.
He describes them as repetition of
the performance of 1905-a set piece
carefully prepared long beforehand by
a number of Japanese advisers. The
inefiiciency of the officers is still con-
spicuous and the field training OF the
men Inadequate, but the material is
good. DR.. Morrison hints that with
out japanese officers to direct affairs
the contending armies would have
been little better than rabble.

MOUNTAIN GUIDES FAIL HER.
Miss Peck VIII Make Another Attempt
Upon the Highest Andean Peak.

Miss Annie Peck. whose chief pleas
ure Is climbing mountains, has re-
turned TO New York from Peru. beaten
in her attempt to climb the highest
OF the Andes. beaten not by the noun
tain itself. but the worthlessness of
the men she employed as guides and
porters on the expedition. She is con-
WINGED that she would have reached
the summit but for the faults OF her
men and says she is going back with
Swiss mountain men to make another
attempt
AS 1t was she reached height Of
$4,000 feet. being then about 1000 feet
above the summit This was at her
first attempt. One of her men deserted
and the rest got drunk on the alcohol
which was carried as fuel for cook
ing. Besides they were all afraid of
the trip and especially as they ap-
preached the top of the mountain. OF
which they have superstitious dread.
The second attempt was like the
first, except that the men gave out
sooner and so less progress was made
before the attempt had to be aband-
oued

Rough Scales, Itching and In

Il wish to inform you that your
wonderful Cuticura has put a stop to
twelve years of misery l passed with
my son. AS an infant l noticed on
his body red spot and treated same
with different remedies for about FIVE
years, but when the spot began to
get larger l put him under the care
of doctors. Under their treatment the
disease spread to four different parts
OF his body. The longer the doctors
treated him the worse it became. Dur
ing the day it would get rough and
form like scales. At night 1t would
be cracked, inflamed, and badly swol-
len, with terrible burning and itch
ing. When / think of his suffering,
1t nearly breaks my heart His
screams could be heard downstairs
The suffering OF my son made me
full of misery. / had no ambition to
work, to eat. nor could l sleep
One doctor told me that my son
eczema was incurable. and gave II up
for bad job. One evening / saw an
article in the paper about the wonder.
fu Cuticura and decided to give 1t a

is worth its weight in gold, and when
had used the first box of Ointment
there was a great improvement. and

years old. and his skin is as fine

POTENT LIQUOR is SAKE.
lafcadio Hearn's Testimony as to
Strength Of Japanese Wine.

There is no liquor in the world upon
which man becomes SO quickly in
toxicated as Japanese sake (rice
wine), and yet none of which the ef-
fects last so short a time. The in
toxication is pleasant as the effect OF
opium or hasheesh. It is soft, pleas
ant, luminous exhilaration, everything
becoming brighter, happier, lighter;
then you get very sleepy.
At Japanese dinners 1t is the rule to
become slightly exhilarated, but not to
drink enough to talk thickly or walk
crooked. The ability to drink at ban
Quets requires practice-long practice.
There are banquets of many kinds.
and the man who is invited to one at
which extensive drinking may be ex-
pected is careful to start in upon an
empty or almost empty stomach. By
not eating one can drink a good deal.
The cups are very small and OF many
curious shapes. Ono may be expected
to empty so. A quart OF sake is a good
deal; two quarts require iron nerves
to stand. But among the Japanese
there are wonderful drinkers. At a
military officers banquet captain
offered me tumbler holding a good
pint of sake. almost tainted at the
sight of 1t, for 1t was only the first.
But a friend said to me: "Only drink
little and pass it back" which did.
Stronger heads emptied cup after cup
like water.-Letters Of Lafcadio

ter to any who might ask it of him.
His many friends demonstrated with
him about this characteristic, know
ing that many INSCRIPTIONS hoboes

these remonstrances the old man re-
piled that he believed in practical

Caution,

limitations have been placed upon
the market SO closely resembling All
cocks Plasters in general appearance
as to be well calculated to deceive. 1t
is, however, in general appearance
only that they compare with Allcocks,
for they are not only lacking in the
best elements which have made ALI
cocks so efficient, but are often harm
full in their effects. Remember that
Allcock's are the original and only
genuine porous plasters-the best ex-
ternal remedy known-and when pur-
chasing plasters the only safe way is
to always insist upon having Allcock's.
