The regular meeting of the Com
mercial Club on Wednesday, even.
ling was not noted for it's enthusias-
tic attendance, but those who were
there took formal action on several
matters of interest. one being fling
on the date for the proposed ban
quet under the auspices of the Club
for the 24th of the present month,
the committee reporting that they
had arranged for the holding of
same at the New England Hotel,
run by Messas. Leonard & Brown,
at cost of not to exceed 500 per
plate.
The idea of holding a banquet
was primarily for the. object of
creating more sociabIe epirit
among the members and for the
purpose of inviting as guests of the
evening large number of the
business men of the towns to the
north of Virginia along the line of
the new railway, and it was decid-s2
ed by unanimous vote that such
guests have rendered to them a
ticket emitting them to transporta:
tion from any point on the new line
to the city and to the banquet.
Another matter of more than
passing importance was the con.
sideration of a home rule charter
for the city, but while no such
charters from other cities we're OBJ
tained action looking to such change
was taken by the appointment of a
committee of five by President Met
calfe to look into the feasibility of
such change and submit report to
the Club within the next thirty days.
Such committee as appointed CON-
prised J. L. Kimball, former presid-
ent of the city council, A. C. Osborn,
present president of the body,
Mayor Hawkinson, Attorney Picker
ing and +. J. Hughes.
The committee to whom was re-
ferred the matter of a possible ex.
tension of the city limits to embody
several of the mining properties
adjacent to the present bounds, were
authorized to go to Duluth to con-
fer with the county auditor in the
acquisition of desired statistics and
to interview the managers of the
properties.
A letter from Secretary Eva, of
the Duluth Commercial Club, an.
nounced the passage of a resolution
by that body for an exchange of
courtesies with members of the
local Club, and in, future members
of the Virginia Club will be entitled
to the freedom of the Duluth Club
rooms when in the city.
The county division proposition
wac again brought up and a cursory
review of the present conditions
lent hope to the success of a divis
ion movement at this time. This
matter will be more fully discussed
at the next meeting, at which it
will be made special order of
business. 1t is asserted that at the
present time fully two Thousand
homesteaders and settlers are locat4
ed in the country to the north of
Virginia, and it is believed a lively
campaign would enroll them all on
the side of division, with Virginia
as the temporary county seat.
