attend to such matters.
The communication was finally
disposed of by referring same to the
city attorney for an investigation
of the city's duty in the premises,
with instructions to report thereon
at the next meeting.
The ordinance limiting the mum.
ber of saloons in the city to So was
upon motion given it's third read
ing, and was killed by vote of
three to two, Aldermen Prijanovich
and Mesberg opposing the passage
of the measure. Alderman John
son thereupon tried to get new
chance on the measure by moving
for reconsideration of same but
an attempt to have it laid over
until the next meeting failed of the
approval of the mayor and the
ordinance was declared lost.
The bids of C. C. Butler in the
sum of $4798.42 and OF Joseph
Rooney in the sum of $5500.00
for the construction of sewers
in Districts Nos. 80, Sd and
3 E, were submitted, and upon
motion the bid of c. c. Butler for
such work was accepted.
The application for liquor
license by Frank Klink for the east
room of the Opera House Block,
came up for consideration and was
allowed. This makes 81 saloons tor
the city, and the man who goes dry
certainly does not do 90 through
any inability to find place where
liquid refreshments may be had.
An application for license to
conduct a shooting gallery on the
lot adjoining the Engel building
on the east was denied, and the fee
ordered returned to the applicant.
A resolution to compel all own
ers of Chestnut street property to
lay cement walks within sixty days
was killed, the mayor instructing
the council that the resolution was
illegal. -.

WAGES OF UNDERGROUND Men.
A Schedule Shows an Increase OF Pas
for Al Classes of Men.

A statement of the pay of under.
ground men for the year ending
June 80, 1906, and for the year end
ing June 80, 1907, as furnished us by
Mine Inspector Harvey, shows de-
cided increase in the pay of all
classes of labor and bears out the
contention that the present labor
troubles are ill-advised and pro-
badly would not have existed but
for the work of the paid agitators
who enjoy a soft snap at the labor
er's expense.
The statement covers the mines
of the Oliver Iron Mining Co. on
this range. and is as follows:

Virginia, Mimi, July. 22. 1907
To the City Council, Virginia, MINI,
Gentlemen:-
1 take the liberty of calling your
attention to certain violations of
the liquor laws in the city of Vir-
ginia, and I respectfully ask your
honorable body to take immediate
steps to enforce the law governing
this matter.
On Sunday, July 18th, myself and
three other witnesses entered and
made purchases of liquor, or saw
purchases made in nine different
saloons in Virginia, the rear doors
of each saloon being wide open at
the time we went there.
On Sunday, July 81, 1907, myself
and three witnesses visited the fol.
lowing saloons, conducted by
Lantry Bros, Bochi Bros, Suoma.
laisten Saloon, Garvey, Svea Hotel
Saloon, IS. c. Rudd, Phoenix Saloon,
European Hotel Saloon and Finch's
Saloon, and we purchased or saw
liquor sold and used at each OF
these places.
I have called on the city attorney
and submitted the facts to him, and
after investigation he advised me
that he found no city ordinance
covering violations of this nature
under which he could act, and he
referred me to the Municipal Court.
I understand that the city has
control of saloons and has authority
to regulate and close them on Sun.
days, and that an effort is being
made to do so, but many saloons
continue to keep open and desire
to make complaint against the diff
ferent parties here where I have
procured or know liquor is sold on
Sunday, and respectfully call
upon your honorable body to have
the proper proceedings entered al
once. 80.
= Respectfully yours,
P. HAUGLAND

LABOR IS PROMISED PROTECTION
Governor Johnson Says Order Must Rule and Guarantees
Protection to Men Desiring to Return to Work.

the men have. for the most part,
been quiet and orderly, the only
trouble reported being the stoning
of workmen at the Fayal stripping
because of their refusal to walk out
when ordered and the "biffing" of a
drill man with an axe handle for a
similar reason. The effort of lead.
ers seems to be to keep the men
sober, in the following out of this
plan petition having been pres
ented Mayor Eaton asking him to
see that the saloons were made to
obey the state law Turing the period
of trouble. This petition has thus
far, however, been disregarded, the
saloons being open to great ex.
tent on Sunday and throughout the
nights since.
The strikers have no sympathy
from the business element of the
range, and that they will not be up-
held in their demands is evidenced
by the fact that At Hibbing the
merchants have gi3en it cold that
no strikers will be given credit.
This, together withEa certainty that
men to take their place will not be
hard to find, is expected to have a
soothing effect upon the men, many
of whom know not for what they
are "striking" and who only await
the reopening of the properties and
the assurance of protection to re-
turn to their places. And while the
strike is not "broken" it is apparent
ly badly bent at the present time
and depends in large measure upon
a settlement of the dock strike at
the head of the lakes. Following
an adjustment of the dock trouble,
which is already practically agreed,
the mines will be running within a
week; and while the Western Fed
Grafton mem bers may not return to
work or will not be permitted to do
80 by their leaders such action
would not prove serious obstacle
should the mines get in shape to
reopen.
The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1907-07-26

The strike inaugurated by the
agitators in the employ of the
Western Federation at the mines of
the Steel Corporation on Saturday
last. and which has since extended
to most of the independent mines
on the range as we'll, promises to be
speedily settled through the plain
and unequivocal assurance of Gov.
John A. Johnson at speeches de-
livered at the City Hall, and Eveleth,
yesterday, in which the states chief
executive pointedly told the lead
ers of the labor trouble which
erstwhile promised to tie up the
range, in the midst of the most
prosperous year in it's history, that
every citizen of the state would be
fully protected in his right to work,
if he 80 desired.
At the same time, the Governor
assured the striking miners of like
consideration in guarding their
rights, but stated plainy that order
must prevail and that any violation
of the peace or interference with
men would be promptly met by
force if need be.
The first intimation of culmina-
tion of the promised trouble, which
has been brewing since some three
years ago when trio of range men
discerned chance to get a few of
the honest dollars of the toilers by
organizing branch of the Western
Federation, was on Saturday morn
ing when notices were posted on
the roads leading to the mines Of
the steel corporation along the
range, ordering the men employed
at these mines to "lay down their
tools and quit work at once" This
order was signed by committee of
thirteen, headed by the famous
Teofilo Petriella, general secretary
of the range branch of the Fedora
tion and who enjoys good living
at the laborer's expense.
Throughout the trouble thus far

Ardmoreite Special
Washington. Sept. 2s.--About fifty
miles south OF the Arctic circle and
tho land of perpetual snow and ice,
in the Juneau land. Uncle Sam will
open 2.9S0.0O0 acres OF land for
settlement on Monday. This great
Alaskan tract has been held in re.
serve for a national forest around
Norton bay, but the demand for en-
try on the land was so great that
the project was abandoned. by the
terms OF the proclamation of the
secretary OF the interior, the tract
becomes subject to settlement day
after tomorrow. and to entry one
month later.
Despite the meager accommoda.
tions provided by the steamship
companies. and the fact that Alaska
has been passing through the throes
of a general strike and tie-up thous-
ands of prospective settlers have
made their way to the northland,
and reports received here indicate
that nearly all of the big tract will
be speedily settled.

ing hand In hand with the mining.
building and road.making operations.
Government experiment stations have
been established to determine what
will grow which has heretofore been
exotic to the soil. SO far, all the
harder vegetables have been made
to thrive. and successful expert
ments are now being made In the
interior valleys to grow hay, grain
and stock feed capable of main
tanning work animals. 1t Is be-
lieved by those who have investi'
gated the soil of Alaska that the
territory will in time become as
rich agriculturally as 1t now is In
the mining industries. In portions
OF the tract about to be opened to
settlement. the climate Is said to be
comparatively mild, and the soil will
grow almost any crop raised In
temperate zones.
The rush of settlers to Alaska to
work its farms will result in great
increase In the white population
which is now in the neighborhood
OF 10000, and statehood is not i'm
possible ia the remote future. The
yearly Increase in the Caucasian
population has been about 1000 In
the past, but this is now going NJ
| by leaps and bounds. Cable tele
graph connections are being rapidly
extended throughout the territory
and already the popular conception
of Alaska as barren, ice-bounC
and almost uninhabitable section Is
exploded.
Most important to the growth nj
prosperity OF Alaska is the develop
ment OF its railroad and steamship
lines. and this is being rapidly ac
complished. The Alaska Contra
