VIRGINIA PAYS Better Prices
for farm Produce and Naturally Get
the Trade, Says q Pike River

The following from the B,wabik
Times of last issue will be read
with interest by Virginlans, wheth.
er they are engaged in the produce
business or not, al it signifies the
spirit OF fairness in business mat
ters which has ever marked the
Virginia buyer and which has
brought to this city a trade which
which is an ever increasing factor
in it's prosperity:
III. III. Salmon last week made a
! trip to the Pike river farming
country, and while he came back
much impressed with the future of
this section, he also learned the
reason for Biwabik losing this de.
sirable trade.
It has been no secret for some
time that the Pike river farmers are
travelling several miles farther to
Virginia, and some months ago
The Times sonnded the alarm that
the farmers claimed that the Vir.
ginia merchants pay them a better
price for their produce aud sell
flour, bacon and sugar cheaper
than do the Biwabik people.
"Mr. Salmon says that he talked
with the farmers and that they
verified what was stated in this
publication at that time. He told
of farmer having just returned
from Virginia, where he took forty
pounds of butter. In Virginia he
was paid % cents pound for the
product. and stated that he did not
take it to Biwabik for the reason
that he could never get more than
Is cents here. The question of Ger.
tain necessities being cold cheaper
in Virginia was also raised.
1.-THE village and township year
ago went to considerable expense
to build a road to the Pike river
country, but it has not brought in
the trade tor the reasons stated.
The situat ton is clear. The farm
ere would prefer to come to Biwa.
blk, other things being equal, but
if Biwabik cannot meet competi.
ton it cannot expect to get the
trade. For of such is business sue.
cess and failure made.
"Unless some of the merchants
will agree to meet the prices little
or nothing can be done. Several
citizens who have been seen have
agreed to take butter and eggs
brought in by the farmers at the
regular retail price, which would
mean that the farmers would be
paid not less than 80 cents a pound
for their butter, but this will not
remedy the situation unless the
retail dealers will meet the Virgin.
ia prices on flour, sugar, bacon and
such articles.
"Will Biwabik meet the competi.
ton, or will it turn THE trade, con-
servitively estimated at $4,000 a
year, over to Virgipin without fur.
Their protest."

around the church, and lined the roadway
adjoining, testified to the interest and enthu-
slaam Of the people Of the parish, IN the
work which is being so successfully carried
out by the Rector and Priest IN Charge, in
that part of the parish.
The seating accommodation of the little
church, had to be largely increased by the
addition Of chairs and benches. borrowed
from the neighbourin9 estate, even this was
inadequate, as a goodly number had to stand
throughout the service.
The Rector-Rev. Canon ~Hutson-assist-
ed by the Priest in Charge, Rev. JIG. Vauier,
conducted the service, which was begun
punctaaIly at 4.30 ?. m. At the c Inclusion
OF the hymn after the third collect the IN
teresting cermony of consecratiug the new
reredo8, carpet, and organ, was carried out
BY the Rector and Priest in Charge. An
appropriate aid eloquent sermon by the Rec
tor, was listened to.with interest and appre-
cation by the congregation, after which the
procession or''march'o f the Sunday Schools
Juvenile and Adult of the church was begun.
The procession was a large one, and with
banners and badges marching around
tho cane fields, heoded by the clergy
gave a picturesque appearance to the sur
rounding landscape. Returning to the church
after The mnrch-the singing OF a hymn and
the announcement OF the benedictiou Gy the
Rector, brought the service to a close.
The new reredos IS an elegant piece of
work, and adds greatly to the beauty Of the
little chancel. 1t is a gift from the mem
bets Of the congregation to the church, and
the carpet the gift Of Mrs. Stokes OF New
York City-is Of a fine pattern and mike,
and matches well with the leredos. The
organ, of Danish make, is Of plain and I'M
protentious appearance, and surprised every
one, by its ren and full tones and Volume
OF sound, considering its size. To the en-
ergy Of Mr.. Emil Hoyer, the congregation
Is indebted for this valuable and much need
ed addition to the church furniture
and also to the many kind friends
woll-wishers who 50 generously res
pended to Mr. Hoyer's appeal to them
for subscriptions towards its purchase
also To Mrs. Stokes, for the carpet through
the influence Of Miss r. Walker, IA member
Of the congregation. It must be encourage
ing to those who have the good work in
charge, to realize, that in spite OF the many
difficulties and disappointments which they
have to encounter, in the furthering OF the
church's work and influence ii that part of
the pmish-they are not without friends and
symputhizers, both here and far away. MAY
they increase, and may the work continue
to prosper more and moro.-COUt.

For a series of years the sum of 5000
Francs has been allowed from the Colonial
Treasury here to each public physician, and
In now proposing that 3 public physicians
be constantly appointed, it is with the idea,
that one of the three shall reside in Chris
tiansted-as long as the Landphysicus re-
sides there-and that the two others shall
be appointed for Frederikgted and country
district. The public medical duties Of the
town and country district can be divided
between the physicians, which division can
be left to the Government to fix as they
may find it necessary aud convenient to do.
1t is considered necessary to increase the
travelling expenses from 400 Kroner to 1000
Francs.

The "Frederjksted Skytteforening' held
q prize shooting contest yesterday among
its members, Mt which had the pleasure to
be present.
Previous to the shooting the christening
(wIthout religious ceremony Of the pavilion,
which has recently been erected, took place.
Lieut.. Pade, in q short address, gave a
brief history OF the little building, stating
by whom it was planned (Mr. Sorensen) etc.
He expressed the pleasure which it afforded
him to note that it should be dedicated on
the birthday of H. II. II. the Grown Prince.
AT the termination Of the address the GEN
darme Band, which was in attendance, play
ed the natl nal anthem, the doors were
opened and the little hexagon shaped
building was entered, and there enioy-
ed-not wine and cnke-but the soft and
gentle zephyr which was waited from the
south.
The shooting was not as good as usual,
owing partly no doubt to the excessive heat
which IS prevailing, but there are some
crack shots among them, who would do
credit to clubs Of q more pretentious charac-
ter.
Prom the centre piece in the pavilion, go
ing through the roof and serving as a staff,
old Dannebrog loated over the building.
I nearly forgot to mention that several
ladies graced the pavilion with their pres
ence.

The H0tterS

entered the Southern Club saloon
with a friend about 3 O'Clock yester-
day morning to have a drink and
while in there, stepped over to the
AFRO bank to bet a quarter. When
| put the money down, | remarked
hal 20 was my limit as | was no
longer a plunger or a millionaire, l
had no more than made the remark,
when Myers, whom l had not seen,
jumped from the table and said, you
mean that. for me- and then struck
me between the eyes, knocking me
down." When Weiss was asked con-
corning a knife which 1t is claimed ne
had at the time he got up from the
floor, he said that lee must
have slipped it to him, as he did not
have one when he entered the sa-
loon. Weiss has a black eye, sew
eral cuts about the face and a cut on
the hand which he claims he received
when the knife was slipped to him.
Shortly following this trouble,
Myers got into a fight with Richard.
in which the later claims he vas hit
in the face, after which he drew a
gun. Before he could use the same,
1t was taken away by Officer Moor
mail. his ulu HOl S6CIl6 the u
for Myers ven to his hotel and got
a gun but before he could get out of
the building IL was taken from him
by Marshal Baird.
After having his revolver taken
from him, it is claimed, Richard
went to his home and secured a 30
80 Winchester rifle and came down
town looking for Myers. This weapon
was also taken from him and he was
told to go home, which it is said
he did. The only person to be
seriously hurt during the different
mixups, was w. D. Snyder, a bar
tender, who was unfortunate enough
to be taken for Rickard, the result
being that Myers struck him on the
nose and dislocated it. 1t was not
until City Attorney ZURICH later in
he day had warrants sworn to, that
any of he men were arresed. Why
the arrests were not made at the
time the weapons were brought into
play, is a question which is being
asked by the citizens of Ely.
