The city Of Virginia has taken a
step in advance Of other cities on
the range and in fact in advance
of many older cities in the coun-
try, in building modern incin-
Grating plant for burning its gar
bage and refuse.
This plant is being erected
near the baseball grounds, which
is a central point and an easy
haul from all parts Of the city.
In construction the plant is
strictly freproof, the building
being of brick of buff color with
red tile roof, and the chimney Of
radical brick construction, also
buff color to match.

COUNTRY CLUB AT AURORA,

Over at the little village of Au-
| rora there is bunch of live
wires who would be a. credit to.
any community. The Commercial
club of that little berg entertain
ed the St. Louis County club
Wednesday and it's members Ger
tainly did themselves brown.
President j. H. Hearding of the
club was present and carried on
the ceremonies attendant in his
usual capable manner. Speeches
were made by number of prom
inent range men as we'll as by a
number Of the prominent farm
ers in that section of the country.
During the day large display
Of the farm products were on dis
play at the city hall and every
thing showed that the land in
that section is productive of the
best products that can be- grown
anywhere.
In the evening banquet was
given in the fire department head
quarters Of the city hall, and it is
needless to say that the eatables
dished out were greatly appre-
ciated by the delegates present.
They served oyster stew, chicken,
mashed potatoes, green peas, pie,
fruit, etc., and the Ladies Aid of
the M. E. church certainly are de-
serving Of much credit for the
manner in which the banquet was
served. Aurora has one of the
best city halls on the range and it's
people take great credit in show
ing to visitors.
About $50 farmers were in at
tendance at this meeting and the
results of the gathering will un-
doubtedly be productive Of much
good for that section Of the coun-
try as regards the agricultural
possibilities. Good roads was the
principal theme at the afternoon
meeting, and in the evening tai $
were given on the subject of san
itation for the towns of the coun- .
ty by prominent physicians of the
different range communities.
The next meeting of the club
will be held in Duluth sometime in
January. 8 - -.

JAPANESE SCHOOL EXHIBIT
Received by the Virginia Schools
From Worlds Fair at Ma
goye, Japan.

The Virginia school children
are the proud possessors Of a
unique and beautiful exhibit OF
work from the schools Of Japan,
consisting of manual training anu
domestic science hand work, text
books, specimens Of handwriting,
photographs, pencil work in draw
ing, color work, illustrative exer-
cises in arithmetic, geography,
language, spelling, English pen
manship, commercial work, me-
chanical drawing, historical pic
lures done by pupils, courses Of
study, and all manner of school
work known to the experienced
teacher. This exhibit is now on
display in the Technical High
School.
Over a year ago the Virginia
schools sent the exhibit on which
they won the silver cup at the
Minnesota State Fair, to Nagoye,
Japan, in which city was held the
Worlds Fair. This exhibit was
there awarded a medal, and a
diploma. The fair authorities
kept the Virginia exhibit as per
agreement, for part Of per-
manent exhibit, and returned to
the Virginia Schools specimens Of
the worl done in the schools of
Japan, which become the proper
ty of the Virginia schools and will
be placed in the new school
museum
The English writing of the
boys and girls Of Japan is quite
marvellous and certainly COM
pares very favorably with the
hest specimens of handwriting in
any Of the public schools of this
country. In many of their note

glish and Japanese are such
