Minnesota Gets More Land.

State Auditor Iverson received
from the interior department at
Washington It's approval of idem.
nifty land selections in the Duluth
land district, amounting to 32,642.42
acres, The tracts selected are in St.
Louis, Lake, Cook, Itasca and
Koochiching counties. They are to
be patented to the state to make up
for school sections on the Red Lake
Indian reservation, and also for
school sections that tall short of
the $40 because of lakes. The land
is largely timbered and in time the
stumpage will be sold. Mr.. Iver.
son hopes, however, that iron may
be located on some of the pieces.
He has made as many selections as
possible along the general derec:
tons of ore finds, picking out stray
forties that have been left from
timber and stone selections.

Church Will Be Re-Ded(cated.

The basement in the Presbyterian

This is an improvement that adds
much to the appearance of the edi-

adds much to the strength of our
city. The Presbyterian people have
been laboring with diligence and
commendable zeal during the past
summer, and have good reason to
feel proud of their success.
The church will be re-dedicated
on the 24th of this month. The
special services connected with this
service of re-dedication will begin
Tuesday evening, the 10th, the gen
eral program as arranged being as

fund of $23,O0O,OO0. There still re.
main 100000 acres of unsoId school
lands. The royalties from the iron
mines are pouring thousands of
dollars monthly in the fund. Con.
sidering the fact that the great
bulk of this enormous fund wac de.
rived from the northern part of the
state, would it be any more than a
square deal for the balance of the
state to be little more liberal and
humane in dealing with the hardy

the most honorable men it is ever

with an iron hand: !,
OF the council elect Mr.. Boylan is
an employe of the Virginia Hard
ware Co. in the capacity of plumb
er, and his ability as a hustler is
we'll exemplified in his victory over
a strong opponent:
Conrad Mattson, alderman-elect
from the second, was a member of
the council under the administra-
ton of NJ. L. Fay, aud is known as
an able, conscientious and tireless
worker in behalf of the city.
James Laviolette, who won a de-
cisive victory in the third against
two independent candidates, is pro-
prietor of the Troy Steam Laundry.
1t is his first advent into the politic-
al arena, but there can be no ques.
ton to those who know him that he
will make good.
Edward c. A. Johnson, who was
elected on the Eaton ticket two
years ago but who was not wanted
in the same place by the same
party another term, was endorsed
by the voters of his ward in a
pleasing manner. Mr.: Johnson is
young man who has made good in
his official capacity during his first
term, and who will certainly give
the people of his ward and the city
as whole satisfactory service for
another term. 49,.
A. c. Osborn, independent, was
accorded a pleasing vote for alder
man-at-large, and while a new CON-
er to the city, comparatively, there
can be no question that the con-
fdence of the voters was we'll be-

by his constituents.

The ballot battle on Tuesday
marked the close of one of the
warmest contests in the history of
Virginia-and if they have warmer
contests anywhere else on earth the
place has not become known as yet.
But the result is one upon which
the taxpayer and the home owner
of the city is to be congratulated,
Andrew Hawkinson being elected
mayor by decisive majority while
the balance of the ticket was an
even break between the two tickets,
the winners all being recognized as
men Of ability and integrity who
will do for the welfare of the city as
a whole during their term of SER
vice.
The majority accorded Mr.. Hawk
inson over his opponent, the pres.
ent incumbent of the office, was
forty-six, Hawkinson getting a
majority in three of the four wards
in the city while the Republican
nominee won in the second ward by
majority of one vote, the total
vote accorded Mr.. Hawkinson being
466 as against 420 for the friend of
the poor mans COW.
One of the surprises of the elec-
ton to many was the defeat of Judge
Chas. +. Nelson, who has held the
office since the establishment of
the court twelve years ago, James P.
Carey winning in this fight by the
narrow margin of three votes, re-
ceiving 434 votes as against 43l for
Mr.. Nelson. For special municipal
judge J. H. Fleming received 423 ae
against 356 for John Peterson, the
Republican nominee.
In the fight for aldermen at large
Capt. Jas. Trezona was accorded the
highest vote, 1913, while A. c. Osborn,
independent, came second with a
vote of 377. P. A. Coffey came third
in the race with a vote of $50 and
Joseph Backus finished fourth with
vote of $50.
In the ward contests Michael
Boylan was a big winner in the
first, Conrad Mattson made good in
the second, James Laviolette won
over his two opponents in the third
and Edward c. A. Johnson was en-
dorsed in the fourth by rousing
majority.
For the office of treasurer Buck
Pratt showed them some things
being elected by majority of 272
over his opponent on the independ.
ent ticket, John Costin, Jr.
The personnel of the ticket az
elected comprises an even break
between the independent and re.
publican tickets. but the defeat OF
the head of the republican machine
is glory enough for the average
citizen and while it may be possible
that all are not happy over the re-
suit the home-owners of the city are
wearing smile that won't come
off. And they are assurediy en-.
titled to do 50.
Mr.. Hawkinson, the mayor-elect,
is numbered among the pioneers
of the city, coming to Virginia
from Tower in the early days. He
was for several years city treasurer
and is recognized by all as one oi
