FROM THE IRON RANGE

Eveleth, Mimi, April 2.-Holy Fam
lily parish is contemplating some very
substantial improvements. The pres
ent church is much too small for this
congregation, so the parishioners,
backed up by four Austrian societies.
with a membership Of 500. are plan
ming the building Of pressed brick
| church, the cost Of which will run up
to about $4,000. No definite plans
have as yet been decided upon, but
among those considered is the SELL
ing Of the old church to the Italians
of Eveleth. If this plan fails then the
present cdifice, which is Of lumber
construction, will be moved and the
$4,000 brick building will take its
place. In the event of sale other
quarters will be selected for the new
church. It Is the intention of the
Austrian societies to have meeting
halls IN tho basement; also a chapel
and Sunday school rooms. Our in.
AOAihohG says CiIhI ltlC dulOuIlI vi. rent
paid by the different societies for
meeting purposes will In few years
pay for the extra work in connection
with the church. Committees from the
different societies will meet next Sun
day afternoon and talk matters over.
It is expected that some Of the leading
! Italians will be present and close the
deal one way or another. The Aus
TRANS have made up their minds to
build some time In May. and they As-
ure that the church will be completed
early in September. When the new
church is to be dedicated it is planned
to run excursion trains from the diff
erent towns on the Range and Duluth.
The day following picnic will be
held ut st. Mary's lake.

We note In the last issue of the Irish
Standard that Division NO. /. A. o. H.,
Of Duluth. passed resolutions denounc-
ing one Victor Huots actions in mis-
representing Irishmen and Irish char
acter. The Htbernians of the Iron
Range are with Division No. 1 to a
man. 1t seems strange that in this
late day such ignorance of Irish char
acter should prevail Especially Is this
so. when one comes to think Of all the
Irish have done in America. In the
war of the Revolution in this country
Ireland furnished 100 men to any
single man furnished by any other for
eign nation. The grass has grown
green on the graves of thousands Of
lrishmen who fell fighting for liberty
in this country long before any Huots
came to those shores We might con-
tinue to cite instances Of Irish deyo-
ton to this country which would carry
us through all the wars the nation has
borne. To the flair-minded person We
have cited suftcient to prove the fact
that we are members Of q race whose
generosity and heroism are worthy Of
remembrance and to remind US that in
studying thesmen of that race we are
learning the story Of a people who
have displayed qualities of heart and
mind which will bear comparison with
those of any other race, and traits Of
character which deserve the approval
of all lovers Of liberty. To deliberately
insult such a race or its representa-
tiyes. as done by Huot, is a display Of
prejudice ana ignorance that deserves
the strongest condemnation.
