SHOULD EMULATE VIRGINIA.

In speaking of the clearing UP Of
portion of the townsite and the
prospective beautifying of the city
of Fort Frances, Ontario, the Times
of that city rightly says, -,
1.-THE next move should be to have
some uniform system of tree plant
ing. Nothing adds to the appear
ance and value of a street as does
it's trees, roads and sidewalks. Fort
Frances should emulate the city Of
Virginia, Minn., where over 1900
trees were planted last year with re-
markable success, not more than one
per cent dying. "A system of trees,
boulevards, walks and drives enhan-
ces~the beauty and value OF any
property and gives to strangers ia
vorable impression of our town. =

Have Awarded Contract for Drill

Despite the problem Of whether
or no the city shall acquire, by pur-
chase or condemnation, the plant OF
the Virginia Electric Power & Water
company, and the antagonstic atti-
tude of certain element: Of. citizen
ship whenever light and water plant
is spoken, the management of the
local plant have decided to put a
stop to the wait for results and will
proceed at once with the improve
ment of the plant along lines which
cannot but be of benefit to the city
as whole and place the plant in
position to amply supply the needs
Of the city on the water problem.
Pursuant to this decision they
have awarded contract to the Ma
tional Wells company of Bellaire,
Ohio, for the drilling of a twelve
inch we'll to depth of five or six
hundred feet, the company having
this week placed their outfit on the
ground in readiness for active oper-
ations Monday morning. In addi-
ton to the drilling of this new we'll
the two wells now in existence, one
of a depth of $50 feet and the other
Of depth of 41S feet, will be made
twelve-inch diameter to correspond,
and new air compressor, for deep
water lifting, of a capacity of 200
horse power and capable of lifting
$500 gallons per minute, will be in
stalled.
With this additional and improved
equipment the company will be-
placed in position to lift sufficient
water to more than supply the needs
of Hibbing, Eveleth, Chisholm, Buhl
and Biwabik at the present rate of
consumption in those towns. :.
The company will also at once
proceed with the laying of new fire
mains on Virginia avenue, Cedar
and Birch streets, it being the inten-
ton to lay IL, s1afandas-ineh pipes.
for fire and conlnercial service, six,
teen blocks or more ofssnew, mains,
to be laid this season.
Another reinforced concrete reser-
voir three times the size of the pres
ent reservoir, or with capacity Of
100000 gallons, will also be erected
later and materially assist in max
ing of the local plant one Of the
most modern and best equipped
plants to be found any city of
similar size in the United States.
The company had practically de-
cided upon many of these improve
ments some mGnths ago, but wo1id
have got earlier action on their ac-
complishment had it not been for
the fight for municipal ownership or
for something else, which has made
the company position IN the c1ty
precarious for some time past. 1t
is now felt by many, however, that
the requirement of the light and
water plant by either condemnation
or by purchase is practically dead
issue, while it is not considered the
taxpayers of the community will at
any time stand for the idea of the
construction of a connecting plant.
