HOME THRUST At THE BLjND-PIeeERs
Alderman Moi|an Causes Introduction Of
Ordinance Which Strikes at the Root
Of the Evil.

An ordinance introduced and Civ
en- its first reading at the council
meeting Tuesday evening is direct
ed at the root of the worst evil ex-
isting on the iron ranges today-the
prolific blind pig, and if permitted
to pass without material alteration
or amendment would not only tend
to curtail bht would practically
eliminate the existence of these H..
legal groggeries through cutting
off the delivery of their stock in
trade
The ordinance provides that it
shall be unlawful for any person,
by himself, his agent or employe,
directly or indirectly, to sell, barter,
give way, deliver for use or con-
sumption outside the patrol limits,
to transfer or otherwise dispose of
in any manner or to have in his
possession for the purpose of SELL
ing or giving away, any spirituous,
matted, fermented or vinous liquors,
and provides that a conviction for
violation of any provisions of the
ordinance be punishable by fine
of not less than 5000 nor more than
$4,000, or by imprisonment in the
county Jail not less than fifty nor
more than eighty-five days.
The patrol limits of the city, with
in the confines of which the sale of
liquors may be licensed, extend to
the alleys on either side of Chestnut
street from Railroad avenue on the
east to Lake Boulevard on the west,
thence in a southwesttrly direction
along Lake Boulevard to Ohio Ave
nue., thence south along Ohio Ave-
nue. to the alley in Block 40, this ex.
tension from Chestnut street being
80 defined as to permit of a retail
license in connection with the plant
of the Virginia Brewing Company.
The passage and enforcement of
such an ordinance would entirely
cut off the source of supply from
these illicit drink-holes, and could
only result in the wiping out of a
traffic that is indirectly responsible
for many of the crimes laid at the
door of "the range" The provisions
of the ordinance as read may seem
somewhat drastic, but the principle
involved is entitled to and will re-
ceive general appreciation. If men
must have liquor let them buy it in
regularly licensed saloon, which
is licensed against the sale of liquor
to habitual drunkards or to intoxi-
Gated persons, and which license is
issued subject to bond IN the sum
of $1,000 for the observance of the
written law.

His Record Basis Of His Canpaign.

Senator P. r. Vail resents the
statements that have been made
that he is willing to spend his
"whole brewery" to win the republic
can nomination for the senate from
the Forty-ninth district, says the
Duluth News Tribune.
Mr.. Vail says: "The statement that
[ would spend my whole brewery to
be renominated and elected is ab-
solutely false. I never made any
such statement.
"The story that if DR.. Weirick of
Hibbing we're to file for the uomina-
tion 1 would withdraw is equally
false. I am in the fight to finish
and shall use my record as senat.
or and my record only as basis of
my campaign"

SCHOOL ELECTION TOMORROW
Runors Are Ii Effect that / New Candidate
x viii Elta Wlth vIsu b n,li,g
WhifIuild Finish.

While to date the only open an
nouncements of candidacy for the
positions to be filled at the school
election tomorrow are those of
James II. Fleming, r. J. McGhee
and Charles Olson, appearing in
the Enterprise, it is consistently
rumored that William H. Eaton will
become an eleventh hour candidate
after the last issue of the Enter
prise preceding the election has
gone TO press-with the idea of m d H.
ing whiriw,nd finish.
We candidly believe the people of
the school district know their own
mind on school matters, and we
will therefore pass up any comment
of personal nature on the promis.
ed candidacy. We're such comment
to be made. our readers can easily
imagine what it might portray. in
asmuch as our opinion of Mr.. katon
on matters of public policy have
heretofore received considerable
publicity in our columns.
We believe that from the three
candidates before the people two
can and will be chosen who will en-.
deavor to give to the school district
their best efforts in the line OF edu-
cational advancement instead of
retrogression, whose record will be
that of considering all matters from
an unbiased standpoint instead of
the standpoint of personal griev-
ance or some fancied wrong which
has become chronic on their minds
to an extent precluding fair and un.
biased judgment.
The polls will be open from 200
until 500 o'clock, and it is to be
hoped every voter in the district
having the advancement aud the
good of the schools at heart will be
present to cast a ballot in favor of
men who will stand for a continued
progressive policy in school affaire.

ESTIMATE COST OF PLANT At 100000
Committee Makes Report on Light L Wat
Or c0nnaav's prnhahIl lnvasinAnt.

The light and water committee of
the city council made report Tues
day evening that, in accordance
with the proposition looking toward
the possible ultimate purchase of
the plant and franchise of the Vir.
ginia Electric Power & Water Com
pany, they had made research in
the matter during the week and in
conference with Manager Griggs
had CLEANED the information that
the probable estimated value of the
plant and equipment of the CON-
pany at the present time was about
100000.
City Attorney Poirier also made
report that he had looked up many
and various points in conjunction
with the possible purchase, and the
city's right to acquire, and that he
considered that April, 1913, was
the earliest date at which such a
transfer could be made unless by
mutual consent of all parties there
to, and that in case of purchase by
appraisal the city would have until
April, 1912, to give notice of its in
tended action. He also recommend
ed that the city should take steps to
thoroughly advise itself on all
points, and inasmuch as there exist
several new laws giving to cities
special rights in the acquisition
and ownership of light and water
| plants he would be pleased to have
more extended time in which to
study the question in it's various
| phases, and would recommend that
the committee from the council or
the council az body look into the
question more thoroughly and ad-
wise as to what steps might be
deemed advisable. He stated that
in case of acquisition there would
of necessity be two special elections
on the question. one authorizing
the purchase and one authorizing
the issuance of bonds therefor.
In speaking of the proposition
the matter of thoroughly looking
into the question of water supply
and the permanency of came, of the
adequacy of the plant to meet pros.
pective demands and other items OF
more than passing moment were
brought up. and the idea OF seeking
expert opinions on all these points
was received with favor by the body
The question has become a live
issue, and we believe the day Of mu'
nicipal ownership of public utili.
ties will eventually come to Virgin.
ia. even az it has come with profit
to other cities throughout the coun.
l try.

Engineers.

The Dumbarton bridge is finished
across the bay at San Francisco. From

OF the Ogden route can set into the city.
The old ferry transfer is thing OF the
past and the great boats used for haul
ing the box cars back and forth will be
used at other points or in other service.
While far away, the new bridge has
some local interest. 1t was planned by
the late II. II. Hartman after he had
off. Chief Engineer Hood was in charge
and the actual work of construction was
under the supervision OF w. Il. Marsh,

that the central portion is u steel bridge
