Ia beautiful and symmetrical city.
All appointments of civilized life
are here. Her solid business
blocks and substantial school
buildings would be a pride any
where; her elegant homes are
equal in style and finish to any in
cities many times her size; her
culture is admitted, while her pub
lie buildings, parks, theatres, H.
brary, hotels, and banks, bear the
unmistakable stamp Of the genius
of the age. She has advanced in
every line, and nothing has been
omitted, the foundation being laid
broad enough to make her achieve
her destiny and become, as she
already has, the metropolis Of the
Iron Range.
In comparison with other west
ern cities, the growth in popula-
ton Of Virginia has been steady,
permanent and satisfactory, and
has been due entirely to the mater

making the total tax rate Al 6

duced after the extensive public
improvements now under way are
completed.
WATER, LIGHT AND
POWER SUPPLY
Virginia has a complete and
modern water works system, COM
bined with an electric lighting
and power plant, owned by a pri-
vate corporation. There are over
20 miles Of water mains now in
operation, and about % miles of
electric light wires. The water
supplied from artesian wells is
second to that of no other city in
point of healthfulness.

ithem standing out prominently as
among the best built and equip

Technical High School just fin

100000, and is regarded, by ex-
pert educators as a model school
building in all it's appointments.
The district has an ass s4sspi val

ers, and nearly 5000 pupils en-

ial progress made by the city in
mining, numbering, railroading,
general trade and industry. The
| city has not felt the influence of
transitory booms, nor has it been
compelled to strain a point and
add to its population the transient
visitors in the city in order to
make a showing. Following two
disastrous fires, which left the
townsite each time black, smould
ering waste, Virginia commenced
to build upon a sure and solid
foundation, discarding speculative
chances and relying solely upon
the efforts of her citizens. As re-
suit the growth of the city is Of
that lasting character that counts
tremendously in the long run. 1t
is due to Virginia pluck and
perseverance and is a good au-
gury of what is to come.
In 1892 Virginia numbered
scarcely 100 people. That was the
year in which the city was found
ed. In 1895 the population had
increased to $500; in 1900 to g.
500; in 1905 to 5000; in 1910 the
federal census showed 1O,473
this did not include any Of the con
tiguous mining locations. Careful
estimates based upon the last
school census place the popula-
tion today at 14,500. The growth
as shown by the school enrolment
is herein shown: In 1904 there
were $50 pupils; in 1905, 1850
in 1906, 124l; in 1907, 1925; in
1908, 1880; in 1909, l849; in 1910,
2215; in 1911, 1924.
ASSESSMENT AND TAX RATE

erty in the Independent School

kept in excellent condition by the

100000 has been spent by the
park board in the past several
years in beautifying the city.
STREET CAR SYSTEM.
A street car system taking in
all the Range towns is among the
improvements projected for next
year. This is heing financed by
outside capital and is a sure thing
this time. The system will be up
to date in every. particular.

grade iron ore, and six miles pay
ed with bi1ulithic, and creosoted
cedar blocks over a concrete foun-
dation. Altogether $250,0OO has
been spent on paving in the last
two years and 100000 or more,
will be spent next year. 1t is
the policy of the municipality to
pave, as soon as possible, all the
streets of the city. Over eight
miles of cement sidewalks have
been laid in the past two years.

However. the least said, the soon

the convention at our masthead and
will tear what is left Of our shirt to
elect him, believing that the surest
and best way to regenerate the party
is to make the fight within its ranks
not on the outside, and confident that
IL those who are democrats from con-

bound to prevail II u by desertion

principles II represents. by those
who can not always have their own

governor now sitting in the execu-
i've chair at Frankfort and a repub

commonwealth, and at other times
that might be named, has cost de-
mocracv heavy when II would other
wise have triumpbed.
A great many Of those who fought
for Klair the. strongest are among
the very ones who have proved the
traitors and deserted in time of need
before. or course, they are demo-
Gratis now, and II can hardly be ex

them what il means for a democrat,
who has not had his way to take his
medicine like little man, no matter
how nauseating the dose. and come
up smiling for more. II may profit
them to follow in some future time
the example which the anti-Klair
democrats are going to set before
them. True democracy is exempli-
fled by the rule OF the majority, and
1t has spoken. Therefore we cheer.
fully acquiesce.
Aside from other features. no Ken.

didly progressive platform adopted
by the convention. II declares in
emphatic terms for good roads. bet

amendment to the constitution, gi,
ing the people the right to change
their taxation system il they wish,
and other measures which will bene-
fit the people OF Kentucky as
a whole. 1t is splendid platform.
and one upon which the democrats
can Wei submit to the people.
