Did Not Come From Nj. Weber.

In connection with the recent con-
demning of the cutting of ice on
Mud, Silver, Virginia and Three
Mile lakes by the Health Officer, it
has been reported the action was at
the 1nstigation of Mr.. Frank Weber,
the rumor being that the order was
promulgated with an object of plac
ing him in position to more fully
control the ice output for this city.
Mr.. Weber desires to deny any con.
nection with the issuance of the
order, which he states in order to
become valid should be signed by
two members of the board of health.
Ice has been cut from Mud lake
for the past six years for family use
in this city, aud Mr.. Weber is cut
ting a limited amount there this
season for cooling purposes only,
while awaiting the better formation
of ice on Haehnke lake, where he
will obtain his supply this season.

WAITING FOR VIRGINIA
TO MAKE FIRST MOVE
Bixabik Times Asserts People Of the Range
are Ripe for County Division, With
Vi1ginia as County Sslt.

The Biwabik Times has ever been
a consistent "rooter" for county d.
vision, and in the following article
in its last issue emphasizes the idea
that the time for action is now ripe
and that it is Virginia's move if this
city would profit by the vote of the
people of the range:
"For reasons mostly selfish the
division of St. Louis county has
been delayed for years. This was
not because there was any very
strong reason against such division.
Different towns aspiring for the
county seat we're pitted against each
other, Duluth did not want division,
and the big corporations were op.
enly antagonist1c.
"There are signs that we are about
to enter upon thorough crusade
for the creation of Iron county. It
is to tie hoped that this will include
only the Mesaba range and the
northern end of the county contig-
uous thereto, for it is evident that
the Vermilion range is not favora-
bly, inclined to make the change.
This is for reasons apparent, the
Vermilion territory having secured
more than its just proportion of the
road fund.
"Our inform ton is that the issue
will be brought directly before the
Commercial Clubs of the Mesaba
range in the very near future, and
that as soon as matters can be ar
ranged the petition asking tor an
election will be circulated. If this
is done we hope there will not be
the backing away from the fight
that has been apparent in the past
tor on this occasion county division
is certainly destined to carry.
"Of course Virginia will be the
county seat. It is the natural loca-
tion. Hibbing, on the very edge of
the proposed new county, is out of
the question. No other town long
er pretends to have ambitions. But
to win, Virginia must lead the bat
tie. To her belongs the task of get
ting out the petitions and securing
the signatures that will make an
election possible. To her belongs
the task of laying out the boundar-
les OF the new county, after consult
ing with those favorable to the is-
sue.
Virginia has been held back by
its desire to secure the branch court
house and thus insure the location
of the county seat there. But there
no longer remains any reason for
such a conservative course.
"All of which is designed to i'm
press upon all concerned the neces-
sity of prompt action, sincere advo.
cacy and persistent support of the
movement that has just been fairly
started"

The One Young Mark Twain Sprung
Upon the Scientists.
Mark Twain's father was an ornithoi-
ogist. He had several friends who
were also enthusiasts on the subject of
birds. Whenever any one of them dis
covered a rara avis It was the custom
to have a consultation. Mark had been
a witness Of several Of these bird in.
quests and had noted the delight the
old men took in discussing a new
found specimen. One day it occurred
to him to provide the Hannibal orni-
biologists with real circus in the
form Of bird. He killed crow and
also barnyard rooster. Plucking out
the tail feathers Of both the crow and
the rooster. he substituted the ROSTERS
tail feathers for those of the crow, pro
ducing q unique effect. When he had
the specimen nicely prepared he went
to his father and, banding 1t to him,
said:
Here, father, is a very curious bird
| shot l thought you would be inter
ested In it,
The old gentleman gazed upon the
specimen with establishment That
evening the ornithologists Of Hannibal
were assembled in Mr.. Clemens par
lor. The rare specimen was put be-
fore them. The discussion was long
and learned. The opinions expressed
were various. One thought the bird
was an offshoot Of the bird Of para
disc family; others had equally ridicu-
lous notions as to its ancestry. But
there was one who refused to be
swerved by the popularity Of the
birds tail from the judgment that II
was Of the crow family.
