Work with all your might; but trust
not in the least in your work, Pray
with all your might for the blessing
of God; but work. at the same time.
with all diligence. with all patience,
with all perseverance. Pray. then.
and work. Work and pray. And still
again pray and work, and this all the
days of your life.-George Muller.

Where tho Blame IS Placed.

delegates returning from the
state capitol where they had been
in attendance upon duty in an at
tempt to press forward the county
division bill give little hope of the
passage of the measure, but from
the statements made it would ap-
pear the bill might reasonably ex-
pect the almost unanimous support
of both branches of the legislature
were it reported favorably from
comm ittee.
The reason the measure is not re-
ported from committee would, from
statements made, appear to be the
fault of the Hon. James p. Boyle
and the Hon. c. T. Knapp, range
members, who have apparently suf-
tered a change in faith since first
approached on the question.
1t is still possible, however, that
the bill may come before the gen.
eral assemblage.

RAthoAB FRANCHISE IS \. \.
SVEN FIRST READ|le"
Meeting Between Ropnssldavss Of eon-
paHy ant Property 01asE faf hpm
beiag 4 Love Feast


Duluth, Winnipeg & Pacific in its'l
course through this city, held sss|
per schedule on Tuesday, drew
forth many of the owners of prop
erty along tho proposed right OF
way, as we'll az certain ones who
own no property in the affected
zone but who had much to say, one
of thisl number being at one time
mayor OF the city:
The company wac represented by
Attorney Bailey and Engineer Ha.'
en-, neither of whom were in posi-
ton to give the agrieved ones any
particular satisfaction relative to
settlement of assumed damages in
case, of the building of the line, fur
Their than to inform them that the
award of damages would properly
come before court. Acommittee
of property owners later held an ex.
tended conference with the repre-
sentativss, named, but 80 far az
could be learned without more def
tie result
The ordinance granting the fran,
chise tor right of way to the road
wac before the council Tuesday
evening, and received ite first read
ing after considerable discussion,
but it is doubtful If az smooth
path marks the date of it's second
appearance on Tuesday evening
next.
As read, the ordinance passes up
the provisions for machine and re.
pair shops and contains no men,
ton of the making of Virginia a
division point, but we opine these
points will be covered before the
measure ever receives the concur
renee of the council.
On the other hand, it is alleged by
some that the company can con-
denim a right OF way across streets
and alleys, and that the action Of
the council 10 not a necessity.
If ouch is the case, all we can cay
is that the company through its
legal representatives is going to a
whole lot OF expense to try and oh.
tain something they do not need.
And we have never seen any partic.
ular signs of this corupaoy or the
parent company of which it be.
come part throwing anything away
that had semblance of value, unless
absolute necessity demanded.
Az we have said before, the city
wants this road but does not want
it at the expense of the individual
citizen.
Virginia wants the road, but
wants some things, that go with It,
among them being machine and re-
pair shops employing one hundred
men or better and wants a division
point, which would mean at the
least fifty families to the city.
Virginia wants these things made
part and parcel of the ordinance
before it receives official sanction.
There is but one time to ask ia
vors from a corporatiou-aud that
is when they want favors.
Virginia has had one experience
in the granting of a franchise which
should be sufficient for all time and
eternity, and we do not deem it wise
or necessity to give away some
thing of as much or more value
without mailing Something to the
masthead in the shape of conces.
sions of public benefit in return.
