threatened with an attack of base

the Tribune Herald rightly says:

LARGE TONNAGE IN LUMBER THIS YEAR
Much Timber Sold Ready for Shipment
at the Head of the Lakes.

The Virginia & Rainy Lake com
pany has sold 100000 feet Of No.
and better, and 100000 feet Of
spruce to Tonawanda parties. The
stock will be shipped by rail to Du
luth and from here by vessel.
It is estimated that there is $1,000,
600 feet of dry lumber sold and on
dock at the head of the lakes to be
shipped by boat this season, and
more ia accumulating all the time
Comparatively little stock that is
sold is on hand ready to ship. A
large amount of lumber will be
brought to Duluth from the interior
mills for shipmentby boat. Thirty
five million feet of interior stock
has been sold for lake shipment
This much can be mentioned by
any of the leading lumber brokers
of Duluth, and it is expected tha
the amount does not represent al
that is sold for lake transportation
At any rate there is 100000 fee
OF local and intericrlumber that il
sold for lake shipr,rnt, which is {
substantial quantity for the open
ing of the season.
The lake rate for lumber from Du
luth to Lake Erie is S225 per 100
feet. Some contracts running tt
September have been made on tina
basis, and some charters have beer
made on the same basis.
There is 100000 feet of coast fl
timber at Duluth waiting lake ship
ment. The timberh accumulated

Viro;nia'S Opportunity.

Some years ago Virginia: increas.
ed her boundaries and her assessed
valuation to a considerable extent,
but lost a proposition to still furth'
er increase both by the vote of a
certain section including several OF
our best mining properties. Under
the new law relating to extension OF
corporate limits Virginia is now in
position, without doubt, to acquire
these properties within her territor
ial limits. The question is, does she
want to do so? If 80, now is the time
to act.

WILL DISCUSS POSEOFEiCE E SITE.
Commercial Club Will lake 10 Several
Matters of Local importance at
Meetinq~ Monday E> eninq. =

The Commercial Club is schedul-
ed for busy session Monday even:
ing next, at which time discussion
of the post-of6ce site and action of
the department in turning down the
site selected at the price agreed
upon by the appraisers will prob
ably receive due attention.
In this matter the delinquency of
the department in acquiring site
after the efforts of our former Com
gressman, Hon. J. Adam Bede, had
placed the sum of $4,000 at the dis;
posal of the department for thk
erection of building at this point,
is responsible for the present price
asked for the site selected, the price
of property having materially ad'
vanced during the past two years.
And today, if we personally should
possess the property included in
the plat selected, we would feel
much like telling the United States
government to 60 to Hong Kong or
the South Sea Islands before we
would accept of ST., 800 therefor.
1t is understood to be funda-
mental principle of the department
to hold the purchase price of a site
within twenty per cent of the total
appropriation, but in the case of a
desire to buy well-located property
we'll within the lines of business
possibilities in a thriving city like
this the rule will eitheer have to be
abrogated, the appropriation will
have to be increased, or the govern.
ment will have to seek outlying
property for their proposed build
ing.
Virginia wants federal building,
and as we said in our last issue we be-
lieve that if "little Jadam Bede" was
still down in Washington we would
not at this time be wondering
whether or not we are some day to
have one, but we would have been
standing on the curb.l line watching
them laying brick on the structure.
Another matter which should
properly come before the body is
the question as to whether or no
the people of Virginia want street
railway, together with, interurban
connections. The former council,
after a careful consideration of the
matter. decided such an innovation
went toward the building OF pro-
gressive city. We believe the con-
sensus of public opinion favors
such move today, as ever, although
tor some ulterior motive it would
seem there was an effort on the part
of certain citizens to either delay
the work or drive the promoters
from the field, leaving the traveller
free to pay his railroad fare between
range points or walk, at his pleas
ure.
The improvement of highways
leading to and from the city, badly
| needed in the case of several roads
from the farming sections to the
north and west, and the establish.
ment of market square will also
be brought up, it being anticipated
that committees from the council
will be in attendance.
! There are many matters of a pub
lie nature that can be taken up by
this body with advantage to all
classes, and the Club is outlining a
course of action which will give the
body ample work throughout the
season.

HOLDING UP STREET RAILWAY
Chance in Ordinance viii Delay If Not
Ultimately Drive Promoters from
the field.

| way ordinance at it's second reading
on Tuesday evening of last week, a
copy of which is to be found in the
official proceedings of the city coun-
Gil in this issue, was the subject of
solicitation on the part of the pro-
moters on Tuesday evening, Mr..
Prindle being in the city and an at
tendant at the meeting.
The amendment was tackled onto
the ordinance after the ADVERTISE
ment for an acceptance of bids tor
the franchise, and unless the same
is rescinded it will mean delay
through forcing a Reimbursement
for bids.
The effect of the amendment
would also be to complicate the
entry into the city of the railway
line, forcing the company to mater
tally change their routing, and while
the company has already been to
several thousand dollars of expense
and at the present time has engi-
neers on the ground preparatory to
actual work on the line. it is not i'm
probable that the change is of a
nature which would eventually
drive the promoters from the field.
AS to the object of the amend
ment, we have naught to say. At
the meeting Tuesday evening AL
derman Kim ball was the only men,
Der speaking against reconsider
alton of the matter and the rescind
ing of the amendment, but action
was necessarily deferred under the
provision of the charter that such
reconsideration has to be at meet
ing at which an equal number of
aldermen are in attendance as at
the meeting at which the amend.
ment is voted. 1t will therefore
require a full attendance of the
council if such amendment IS to be
rescinded.
The building of an electric line
between the cities of the range has
long been a dream OF the progress
sive citizen, and we are sorry to see
aught placed in the way of CON-
pany that comes in with the evident
intention of doing business. The
building of such line might, per-
haps, keep few nickles from the
grasp of the range railroads that
give intermittent service between
this city and Eveleth, taking pas
eengers half way to Duluth in order
to give them longer ride, but we
know of no other interest which
might possibly feel the effect in a
monetary way. The great majority
of citizens, however, neither own
stock in nor depend for a livelihood
on the range railroads, and are
eager to see progressive policy in
the matter.
! Under the provisions of the fran
chise as granted in the bid OF E. NJ.
and W. NJ. Prindle the promoters
are bound to have at least one mile
of such railway constructed prior
to January 1st, 1911, and if they are
to be given any leeway in the matter
of building the line it is up to the
council to act as PROMPTLY as pos
sible in the matter. We are salts.
fled majority of the council feel
like so doing, and can but trust that
no retrogressive policy on the part
of individual members may be per.
mitted to seriously interfere.

Keyport, Dec. 9:-The Keyport

who attended.
High gentlemen's score for the
evening vas made by William v,

score was made by Miss Gardina w.
Hoagland, with SO.
The last two games were rolled
by Norman r. Voorhees, and Lloyd
F. Armstrong. Armstrong; side
won both games by narrow margins.
and exciting games they were. Owing
to the fact that there was not
enough members present to supply
an equal number of couples for each
team, Gilbert Van Mater and Miss
R. Wynne Walling rolled five frames
of each game for each side.
So great was the success Of the
scheme of sides that the same names
will constitute each ofthe sides next
Wednesday night, when voorhees,
isde will make an attempt at re-
venge. Armstrong says 1t will be
a useless one. Goats were run
ming around loose in abundance but
they belonged mostly to Voorhees,
