City Clerk Bickford is perhaps a

Chief Thayer, for a heavyweight,
is always in the pink of condition

proclivity' stood him we'll in the

to get first on several occasions.
Judge Carey proved his ability to

which way the decision was made.
He was relieved. in the seventh by

A BIT OF ANCIENT HISTORY,

From the Twenty Years Ago"
column of the Duluth Herald of Sat-
urday we reproduce the following
bit of ancient" history, which will
be of interest to many Virginians,
especially to few of the otd-timers
who were here at the birth of the
town:
"The town of Virginia on the
Mesaba range is being plated and
the sale of lots will take place in
about two weeks. 1t is situated in
section 8, 58-17, and is surrounded
by six or seven mines, so that it 10
certain to be prosperous COM
munity.''
And il the writer of the article
could but see and know Virginia to-
day he would realize fully that the
town was a prosperous community,
one of the most prosperous in the
northwest. A town that will grow
from being plated to q place but
fifth in point of population in the
state of Minnesota within twenty
years needs but little said of it's
prosperity and stability; it is the
recognition of these points that has
made Virginia grow, and that will
insure her continued growth for
years to come.

W0n / RES
DENTS WANT BIIUlITA|C
Present Petition to City Council Ask
ing for Reconsideration OF Resolu-
ton to Pave With Creos0ted Wood
Blocks, That Streets May ConfOrn
in Appearance.

A we'll signed petition presented
to the city council Tuesday evening,
asking for q reconsideration of the
resolution designating creosoted
wood block as the paving material
for Wyoming avenue, was laid ON the
table.
The petitioners set forth three
reasons for desiring the change
named. first being that the paving
with bitulithic was cheaper by APP
proximately 100000, another that
the bitulithic would be in keeping
with other streets in the southern
section of the city, and another that
they would be the people most direct
ly affected by such pavement and
that they preferred the bitulithic for
various reasons. The idea OF economy
on the part Of the city in naming
bitulithic as the paving material was
made a point of special stress in the
document.
The contract for paving these
various streets and avenues for the
season, however, had already been
signed, and the petition was laid on
the table, and creosoted wood blocks
will be the material used on this
avenue, unless some of the petition
ers see fit to enter proceedings to
enjoin the Improvement.

planned and as noted in the Enter

a better showing could be made a
a slightly later date.

ALDERMEN SHOW EN-
THEY CAN PLAY BALL
Defeat the City Commission Team by
Score of II to o in Sundays
Contest for a Fund for the Worthy
Poor.

The Sunday afternoon game be-
tween the aldermanic team of the
city council, headed by President
Michael Boylan, and the team select
ed from the various city commissions
and headed by J. w. Murphy, of the
police and fire commission, the pro-
| ceeds of which go to a fund for the
relief of the worthy poor during the
winter months, drew big crowd of
"rooters' and while but trifling in
terest was taken as to which side
! might be the winner there was even
more coaching from the grand-stand
than usually attends game.
President Boylan's team included
the mayor, Aldermen McGhee, Moi
Ian, Ketola, Heritage, City Engineer
Johnson, Assistant City Engineer
Dollhouse, Judge Gillespie and Mr..
Boylan, while the opposing lineup
included Fireman Anthony, City
Clerk Bickford, Turnkey McCulloch,
Chief Thayer, R. C. Pickering, F. J.
Hughes, Chief Walsh, D. E. Shea and
Mr.. Murphy, the positions of the
players being changed so often dur
ing the contest that but few appeared
in two successive innings in the same
position on the field. In the first
inning, however, the mayor appeared
in the box for the aldermen and
President Boylan did effective work
behind the bat. At the close Of the
inning, however, President Boylan
recalled the mayor, placing him in
center field, and Alderman Heritage
did the twirling for a time, while
Judge Gillespie later succeeded to
the position behind the bat. On the
opposing side City Clerk Bickford
and Fireman Anthony held the
points the greater part of the game,
doing good work throughout.
Numerous incidents of more than
passing mention were to be noted,
but the home runs by Engineer john
son and Assistant Engineer Bolt
house were the most ~remarka BILE
plays, perhaps, of the game, the ball
in neither case going beyond the
tielders; the batsmen, however,
showed their sprinting abilities by
beating the ball in-after it had been
tossed from one to another of the
| players and lost in the shuttle a few
times.
| 1t is said approximately 5000 was
netted from the game, all printing,
balls and other necessary equipment
being donated for the good of the
| cause.
1t is understood the losers want
a chance to make good, and are in
daily practice with a view to chal-
longing the winners to return game
shortly.
