GUARDING AGAINST oUAKEs.
Builders Must Try to Meet the lnevi-
table Exioencies.


Frank A. Perret, formerly honorary
assistant at Royal Vesuvian Observa-
tory, was one Of those who remained
at that post Of duty during the great
eruption Of 1906. He has since studied
at close range the volcano at Strom-
boil in action; in 1907 he predicted that
a great disturbance Of Aetna was i'm
pending, and he was on his way to
Sicily when the Messina tragedy took
place. Writing of 1.-The Messina Earth
quake" in the Century, Mr.. Perret de-
clares its lesson a two-fold one and
the freshness of the San Francisco
horror brings the warning home:
Those who live in earthquake dis
tricts should build their houses to
Withstand these vibrations Of the
ground. This is feasible, and 1t is to
be hoped that all ruined towns will be
rebuilt accordingly. But 1t is mani
festly too much to expect that exist
ing cities in earthquake districts will
be torn down and rebuilt, and there
fore those who favor the spending Of
large sums of money for astronomical
and other research for the proper stu
dy Of the world on which we live, in
order that we may learn its secrets
and foretell its movements, and thus
prevent a great earthquake from being
also great disaster. This, too, Is fea-
sible, and It is a matter of vital i'm
portance to humanity.
May 1t not be hoped that this last
great catastrophe, with its hideous loss
Of human life and its enormous total
cost, will cause the lesson to be taken
to hearth

the beautiful farm and country and

Record. A lack Of order and system

Fix Salaries at $50 Per Month.

At the adjourned meeting of the
board of education of the Inde-
pendent School District OF Virginia
on Tuesday evening motion made
by Director Roskilly and supported
by Director Moore that the clerk of
the school board and the treasurer
of the school district receive az
compensation for their services the
sum OF $50 per month each was
carried.
BY many this sum is considered
inadequate for the work entailed,
and il certainly out Of proportion
to the salaries paid for many years
past, when the clerk received as
high as SIS per month and the treas-
urer two per cent of the gross ex-
penditures of the district, amount
ing to from $1,000 per year up.
The move, however, 10 doubtless
in line with the epirit of retrench-
ment fostered by the imported re-

from a trip to Virginia and Winni-
peg. They were in the Manitoba
metropolis on Dominion day. Mr..

late yesterday afternoon. Their trip
to Virginia was one of considerable

The Virginia & Rainy Lake CON-
pany has decided to build another
lot OF dwellings for employees. The
company is just completing the
work of building so dwellings for
that purpose, and has just decided
on the additional number.
The company has decided to in

which will give the company a total
daily lumber producing capacity
in Virginia with both mills of bout
100000 feet q day.
A new planning mill which will

Personal Property lax.

City Assessor Fleming went to
Duluth last Saturday and turned in
the personal property assessment
for the city of Virginia for the year
1909. The assessors figures were
$685., ,344. The board of review raised
the assessment something like
$75,O00, their figures approximating
$4,000.
1t is worthy of note that the min.
ing interests are not represented by
az much as one cent in the above
figures, all the mines within the
city limits lying idle.
