Would Start Ciqar Factory.

L. Tillman, for many years a resi-

at Bloomer, Wis.,, was in the city
the first of the week seeking a loca-

Like a number, of others who
have sought business locations dur.
ing the pact few months, however,
Mr.. Tillman was unsuccessful in
finding q location, no vacant room
being found in the city, aud he
looks over other range towns for
his project.
The dearth of both residence and
business property has kept many
desirable enterprises and citizens
out of Virginia this year, but the
condition of the city is not one of
hope of a material change in this
respect. there being many appli-
cants for any new place opened, at
abnormally high rents.

SOME VIRGINIA ADVERTISING.
Caused tv the Order Closias Poker

While Virginia has, through its
municipal troubles, had q consider
able amount of advertising of a
nature which would not be probable
under a different mayor than the
one at present occupying the high
est honor in the gift Of a grateful
people, che does not appear to be
losing out on her prerogative of
getting more of the same kind.
Some of this advertising has been
caused through the sensitive ma.
ture of Hizzoner a. exemplifed in
the suit instituted by him against
The Enterprise scribe for $4,000 for
having allegedly besmirched his
spotless reputation. And much
more evidence of the manner in
which the city is being run aud the
laws of the state disobeyed will be
produced at any time this cause is
brought to trial-it now being up
to the plaintiff to enter the case on
the calendar for the September term
if he % desires.
But the last fling at the existing
conditions az contained in the Du-
luth News Tribune of Tuesday
listens like the writing of someone
who had sized up the situation and
believed in hewing tot the line. Aud
while it may hurt the feelings of
some to have the article reproduced
we believe the public good will not
be harmed by having every citizen
Gee the claas of "booets" our city

said 10 be professional strikebreakers.
Orders were given by the city authorities this
afternoon that a policeman be put each car

This decision was reached after the COM
pany had made a frantic appeal for better pro
lection. and after Mayor Barth himself had been

nearby policeman TO rout the crowd.
The disorders to-day, which began with jeer-

blocked by wagons driven by members OF the
teamsters union, the men manning them were
dragged of and in some cases beaten, con-
trollers were stolen the cars could not be
moved, and trolley ropes were cut The majority
of the men assaulted CD the cars were once en-
