SOME CUCUMBER.

A. H. Braa, sexton at the Vir-
ginia cemetery, has been spending
his spare moments during the past
summer in truck gardening, and
has some things to show that he
knows how to raise things and
that the soil of this section is
adapted to agriculture. Among
the "garden sass'' shown from
his garden spot is one cucumber a
trife in excess Of thirty-two inches
in length, while a number of 9th
ers in the same field are upwards
of twenty-folr inches long.
The Commercial club will get a
half dozen of these for exhibition
purposes, at the county and state

HISTORICAL SPECIMEN FOR
LIBRARY GROUNDS

During the past week Supt.
Thos. Owens has presented to the
library board two huge chunks Of
iron ore. The pieces have been
deposited one on each side of the
steps to the library and make a
souvenir Of historic interest and
value. They weigh approximately
700 pounds each. Mr.. Owens had
silver plates bearing inscriptions
placed on each specimen. The ore
was the first taken from a Min
nesota mine, and were hauled to
this city by Mr.. Owens, then an
engineer for the D. & l. R.
One piece is out of the old Ely pit
of the Minnesota mine, now
known as the Soudan, at Tower.
The mine as we'll as the city of Ely
were named after Samuel P. Ely,
deceased, Of Cleveland. The
schooner also bearing his name,
lies in the bottom Of the harbor
here where she was wrecked years
ago. The schooner lies inside the
breakwater and can be seen very
plainly on clear days when the
lake is calm. The other specimen
or ore was taken from the Stone
Pit, named after George G. Stone,
deceased, Of St. Paul. This mine
is now also known as the Soudan.

ELECTRIC LINE
FRANCHISES GRANTED

The franchises for the proposed
electric railway between the Mesa
ba range cities are being readily
granted by the various municipali-
ties, the terms and conditions of
the grants being for the most part
in keeping with the desires of the
company.
The company has a force Of en-
gineers in this city, laying out the
proposed line, and it is probable
the initial work on the line will be
done from this city, the central
point Of the range.
The construction of this line will
be of greater benefit to the bus
mess interests Of Virginia than
aught else could possibly be, in
asmuch as it will give the resi-
dents Of the smaller cities and out
lying precincts an opportunity Of
getting in touch with Virginia s
handsome stores and of buying up
to-date merchandise at reasonable
prices.
