Lacking Feature in Virginia.

We note that the base ball season
in Eveleth opened with a procession
headed by brass band.
The band feature is lacking ele-
ment in Virginia doings. While we
have many musicians in the city,
number of whom belonged to form
er band organizations, Virginia at
the present time is behind many Of
the small country towns in this re-
spect.
The last we remember Of hearing
of a brass band in Virginia was on
election night some months ago,
when one of the candidates had the
orga nization corralled in back
room in readiness to celebrate his
victory; but he was defeated by so
decided majority that never note
was heard. 1t may be that it will
require another election to resusci-
tate a musical organization Of the
brass band variety, but whatever
penalty we believe Virginia would
and should support a band.

EACH PLACE A GAME TO THEIR CREDIT
VIRGINIA Trims h;bbioq in first Game
of Season Saturday; But Loses in
Good Game Yesterday.

The inability of the Chisholmites
to fill their dates with Virginia on
Saturday and Sunday last owing to
illness of members of the team fur
nished an opportunity for the first
game of the season between Vir.
! ginia and her old time baseball ad.
versary-Hibt'ing, the latter team
being substituted to fill the vacant
dates. but owing to the heavy rain
on Sunday the Saturday game was
the only one of the series played.
In this game Currie was on the
hill for Virginia, and the excellence
of his delivery was attested by a
| record Of but four hits made off
him, the score at the end OF the 4th
inning standing toOin Virsinia's
favor. In the 9TH, however, errors
| by the Virginia team allowed their
opponents 3 scores, Hibbing get.
ting one more in the 8th, the game
closing with score of 6 to in fav
or of the Virginians.
Despite the rain on Sunday del
eyation of several hundred rooter=

prospective game, but the down.
pour preclud+d all possibility of
play, and the visitors passed their
time among our various places of
amusement.
Return games were arranged at
the Hibbing park for Wednesday
and Thursday, but the weather man
again interfered with the program
on Wednesday, precluding all pos
sibility of play. At Yesterdays
game Tredway was in the hOx for
the locals and was furnished good
support throughout, the score be-
ing 2 to , at the close Of the 7th. In
the 8th, however, Tredway passed
the first man to base, the second
made scratch hit, and two more
given bases on balls forced a score.
the inning ending with 2 scores for
the Hihbingi,es. This lead was not
overcome, the close OF the game
showing Hibbing with scores to
her credit as against , for Virginia.
But the showing of the opposing
teams in these preliminary contests
favors the idea that Virginia has
her western neiyhbor cheated at ev-
cry stage; she will have to pick up
a few new ones if she desires to hold
her alleged distinction to the hon

Commercial Club Discusses Many
Topics of interest and Names
Committees to look
After Them.

While the meeting of the Com
mercial Club on Wednesday. even
ing was not all that could hav.
been desired from a standpoint of
numbers present, the interest dis
played by those in attendance aided
materially in making up for the
seeming lack of interest on the
part of absentees.
Secretary Hughes read letter
from the St. Paul Commercial Club
rendering the courtesy of the
capitol city club to members of the
Virginia body.
The matter of the proposed
changing of the Eveleth Virginia
road, and the advisabi of chang
ing the route of this thoroughfare
to run either at the base Of the hill
on the west or around the hill to
the east, was brought up and dis
cussed and a committee of three
appointed to confer with the COM
mittee from the Eveleth Club rel
ative thereto.
The continued inability to draw
conservative number of members
to the meetings of the body led to
discussion of the advisa bility of
entrusting the affairs of the body
to an executive committee of fifteen
to be chosen by ballot by all mem
bers. for such purpose, and the
secretary was instructed to have
printed list Of the names of all
members. forward copy of same
to each member. and request that
a vote be given for such committee
The idea of giving commensurate
attention to the agricultural in
terests adjacent to Virginia was
brought out through a letter to the
secretary from Mr.. Arnold, land
agent of the Duluth & Iron Range,
in which the idea of organizing
fair association at this point was
mentioned. The idea received the
commendatiOn>o of members present,
and upon motion a committee of
three, comprising +. J. Hughes,
Ransom NetcaIfe and W. f. Han
afford was appointed to confer with
Mr.. Arnold and with Mr.. A. B.
Hostetter, agent of the Duluth Com
mercial Club, relative thereto.
The possible establishment of a
county school OF agriculture en-
gagged the: consideration and e licit-
ed the encouragement Of the meet
ing, and the secretary was instruct
ed to draw a resolution and submit
to the county commissioner from
this district that it was the sense of
the Club that the site as selected by
the Eveleth Club, near Wolf juno
ton, was a most proper place for
same.
The committee, as named at
previous meeting, for the selection
of a site for the promised new
government building, was upon
motion held over for future re-
port. The selection of such site ap-
parently lies on Central avenue, the
only available site procurable, 80
far as known, being on that
thoroughfare.
Following the meeting the mem
bers present adjourned to the
European Hotel, where a luncheon
and smoker wan enjoyed.

age work in the city, was presented
and given its frat reading. The

lengthy, but contained naught but
full directions governing such work

asked that 1000 feet of new hose be
added. This amount was ordered
to be advertised for by the city clerk.

Ph0enix Saloon Ordered Closed.
Acting under the orders of Mayor
Hawkinson the saloon of Cohen &

This action ia the result of the
question in the council relative to
the granting Of il license to the firm
for the ensuing year. The license
under which they had been running
expired several days previously,
but inasmuch as their money for a
renewal was in the hands of the city
treasurer the mayor had not deem
ed it breach of trust to permit
them to run until such time aa the
question Of the issuance of the H.
cense should be definitely settled.
The evident intent of some Of those
present at the meeting Of the coun
Gil Tuesday evening, however, to
look into the legal right of the firm,
to continue bnsiI,- IA, in tire mean.
time put different aspect on the
matter and the mayors order was
the result.
From the publication of an appli.
cation for license in the Phoenix
block by J. b. Sattler, elsewhere in
this issne, it would appear that the
firm of Cohen & Mendelson had de.
cided not to press their application
for license in the specified location
in their own name.

SANTA CLAUS MAIL BARRED.
Letters Will Not Be Delivered to Cha,
table Organizations,

washington, Dec. 1S.-Postmaster
General Meyer has announced that he
would not renew his order issued ,in
December, 1907, permitting delivery to
charitable organizations of letters adj
dressed to Santa Claus"
Numerous complaints have been made
to the postmaster general by many
charitable organizations that owing to
the large number Of such letters taken
by the various charities while the or
der was in force, it was not possible
to investigate each case and that the
present given out fell into hands of
unworthy persons. The practice also
was objected to on the ground that it
tended to make beggars of children.
The postmaster general has directed
postmasters to treat the Santa Claus
letters in accordance with those sec
lions of the postal laws which pro-
vide that letters bearing fictitious adj
dresses shall be sent ITO the division
of dead letters unless the addresses of
the senders appear upon the envel-
opes, in which case the letters will
be returned to such addresses.
1t is estimated that more than $4,000
letters are addressed by the children
of the country to Santa Claus annu-
ally,
