bate with the iiigh School of
- St. Paul. - ''"'

. "Virginia wOn!"
Such was the welcome news COM
ing to the city over the phone from
the state capital at HOO o'clock
last evening from the debate
of the Roosevelt High School
debating team with the Humbolt
High School team of st. Paul, the
winners of the championship in the
capitol city.
The subject of debate was "Re-
solved, That the federal government,
should subsidize the southern
states for the education of the
southern negro; granted that it
would be constitutional and the
southern whites would not object" !"
the Roosevelt team having the affir-
NATIVE of the discussion, the same
as in their debate with the Pine
City team in which they won the
championship honors of the Eighth
district, Pine City having defeated
the Duluth Central High IN pre-.
viOus contest.
The Virginia team comprised
Lambert S. Gill, Axel Dahl and Ed.
ward Berg, and while reports of the
victory are meagre it is understood
the decision gave the local team
two points to one.
The team, accompanied by Supt.
Bliss and a number of the Gee
Club of the Roosevelt School, en-
bracing Gerald Roskilly, Lester
Mcdonald, Charles Butler, Stephen
Quayle, Ebert l. Hannaford, Eu-
gene Mccarthy, Harold 'Wasson,
Harold Mcdonald, John Bonner,
Warwick Martin, Edward Deering,
Daniel Mahony and Thomas Bailie,
left on the Wednesday morning
train for the Twin Cities, stopping
enroute at Duluth, where the Glee
Club rendered several mum bers at
the Central High. Miss Holman,
principal, Prot. Sullivan and Prof.
freeman left the following morn
ing to be present at the exercises,
while number of attendants at the
Minnesota U and at St. Thomas
College from this city were also
scheduled to be there with hearty
good cheer for the winners.
The boys will not return until
Sunday morning, but they will be
greeted by many local admirers,
who also recognize the efficiency of
thetraining and discipline of Super
intendent Bliss in his successful
efforts to bring them to the stage
of perfection which the contest 50
clearly proves, the debate OF last
evening leaving them the undis
puted champions of the two great
est districts in the state.

Work Closes Today.

From recent developments it
would appear that the affairs of the
Virginia Lumber Co. had not as
yet resolved themselves to a point
where a definite knowledge of the
future had become as an open book,
the latest order being for the clos
ing of all repair work on the mills
at this point, becoming effective to-
day. This action would indicate
that the big plant will not, in all
likelihood, resume active opera
tions before the opening of the
lakes in the spring.

We note by the Duluth News Tri-
bune that William Fanta, who
formerly conducted a thirst par

business interests to Duluth some
months ago, was on Tuesday ar
rested for the third time for keep
ing his place of business open on
the Sabbath day. William will re-
gret his move if things keep com
ing his way as rapidly az that, and
will likely return to the range
where the only limit to the time a
man is permitted to keep his grog-
shop open is found in the shortness
Of the days, there being but twenty
four hours in any day in this sec

Sullivan Would be fire Chief.

osn"vou "OOtO VS bUS NUbeUs
On Tuesday James Sullivan, the
painter, filed his application for the
position of chief engineer of the
Virginia Fire Department, his ap-
plication stipulating that he would
attend to the duties of the position
in a satisfactory manner at 500 per
month.
Owing to the absence from the
meeting of Alderman Trezona the
matter of appointing a chief did
not come before the meeting, but
will likely be brought up at the
next meeting of the body. 1t is
understood Mr.. Sullivan was for
several years a member of the Su-
perior department, and feels that
he can "make good" in the capacity
to which he aspires.

But Little Of Special Interest Coaes
Before the MeetinQ.


The holding up of a liquor license
application-the first time in the

of Alderman Matteon, who reported
that he had been advised that the
applicant ran a disorderly house

the License Committee, com prising
Chairman Osborn and Adorned
Mattson and Laviolette.
Applications for renewal of liquor
licenses from B. F. Smith, Fred
Johnson, F. J.Leonard and Andrew
Sandstrom were received and met
with favorable action.
A petition for permit to use water
from hydrants at the corner of Cen.
trail and Willow and at the corner
of Wyoming and Magnolia streets
for the purpose of flooding the
lakes to make ice skating rinks re-
ceived the sanction of the council
1t is understood these ice rinks will
be free to all, and will afford much
pleasure to the younger element ol
American citizenship.
The matter of the sanitation OF
the city Jail was brought up through
a report from the committee on city
buildings, the report recommend
ing the installation of closets there:
in. This report was accepted and
the committee instructed to order
such work done. The installation
of pressure valves in each of the
city buildings, at an expense of SIC

ments into jury room and office
for the superintendent of police
and this work was ordered done.
The committee on fire and fire
department reported that in their
estimation the purchase of another
team for fire and general Use would
be advisable, and the committee
was instructed to look up suitable
team for the inspection and accep-
tance of the council.
The city attorney reported that
80 far as he could discern the first
twenty-four ordinances of the city
were null and void, through the
burning of the record of their &C.
ceptance and publication, but no
definite order was given to have the
defect rectified.

THREE DITCnES WILL BE BUILT
Court Sigos Order Which Means Re.
Clamation Of Much of St. louis
County and.

Judge w. A. Cant of the district
court on Wednesday signed the de-
cree and order for the building of
three bitches for the draining of
swamp lands in St. Louis county
and thus assured the county of ex.
tensive improvements, which means
beginning of the opening of a
future farming country.
AT a special hearing about ten
days ago, the matter was brought
to the attention of the court. The
plan, which now will be carried out
and work upon which will be start
ed in the spring, is the building of
three large bitches with total
length of about 40 miles, with later
al branches running. throughout
the district to be drained, and the
construction of roads alongside of
them. All these improvements are
to be made by the state, at an expen-
diture of about $4,000. All that is
required by the county is the ap-
preparation of $3.50 for the clearing
OF the land preparatory to the
building of these bitches. and this
amount has already been set aside
by the county commissioners.
The bitches are numbered So, "a
and IS. Ditch SO is in Island town
ship. 52:2l, ,'extending from the east
ern> boundary cf Itasca county and
crossing the main track of the
Great Northern railway to Grand
Rapids and down towards Flood
wood. 1t is about 1912 miles long.
Ditch 81 extends north and south
In 54.18 and 19, recommending at the
northeast corner of 54-18, running
south six miles, and then into the
Whiteface river. Its length will be
about 1872. Ditch 55 begins about
three miles east of the Duluth, Mis-
sabe & Northern's main tracks and
runs north and south in 55-17 and
81 II into the Whiteface river, and
then to the Miller Trunk road, with
lateral branches running east and
west. The bitches will be six feet
deep and twenty feet wide.
Contracts will be let soon, the
call for bids having been made.
The contractors are required to pile
all the waste material on one side
OF the ditch and this will be leveled
of to form road. This will assure
the county 40 more miles of good
roads.
The Duluth & Iron Range Rail-
way company, which owns large
tracts of land all through this sec.
tion of the country, has filed stipu-
iations' '~a,vfng~ '1ts'right to be ex-
empt from the pro rata taxation
and will pay more than $25OoO of
the expenses. This road has helped
the commission to large degree
in this work:
; George A. Ralph, engineer of the
state drainage commission, is in
charge of this undertaking, and ap-
preciates the efforts shown by the
people of Northern Minnesota in
pushing this proposition through.
The bitches, he says, will be COM
plete next summer, and he will
probably take some measures to
have others built. -.'--..
