WAR TO THE END
IN PIANO FIGHT
Local Dealers to Reopen Cable
Company Contract Before
School Board.

The war drums still rumble in the
what they claim is their rightful share
CT School Board patronage. Although
the committee on buildings and furni-
ture at its last meeting recommended
the purchase OF four Wellington pianos
at Sl25 each from the Gable Company,
of Chicago, the School Board win be
asked at its meeting next Monday
night TO send the recomme ndation baCls
to the committee with instructions 10
reopen the matter for another hearing.
The new line of attack follows In
the wake of a statement by Chairman
Ebel. of the School Board. at the COM
mittee hearing Tuesday night, to tie
effect that he would not consider
awarding the contract to the Chicago
firm were it not for the fact that it is
a regular taxpayer of the city. The
statement that ii was a taxpayer was
made by Chairman j. G. Corley, Of til.
purchasing committee. who is sole
representative of the Gable Company
in Virginia.
Pays No Taxes.
In letter addressed to Chairman
Ebel yesterday by A. j. Crafts, the
local dealer most active in the piano
fight, the latter states that ne finds
upon examination of the records at the
City Hall and Capitol that the Cable
Company. of Chicago, the successful
bidder, pays no taxes to this city. In
the same letter various other re:s,rs
are advanced in the interest of n .e-
opening Of the question. Mr.. Ebel. i.
is reported has invited the local piano
dealers t. appear at next Monday
nights meeting.
Mr.. Crafts said yesterday that the
local dealers would pursue their inveS

GETTING READY 10

LA 1NAONS
The Mesaba Street Railway COM
pany has thousands of ties piled up
along side the tracks of Duluth, Mis-
sabe & Northern railway and a large
crew of men busily engaged in pre-
pairing them for the time when they
are to be laid on the streets of this
city. This will be done as soon as
Wyoming avenue is in readiness. The
rails for the new line are expected
to arrive soon when the road will be
pushed rapidly towards completion
in order to have it ready for the re-
ception of car service before the
winter sets in. The line will enter
the city On the Gilbert road and run
north on Wyoming avenue to the
Northside when it will take a west
erly direction to the Mountain Iron
road. The company does not expect
to complete its road the entire pro-
posed length this year, but will do
so the following year, when it is an
ticipated that the service will be in
operation between Virginia, Eve
leth, Gilbert, Chisholm and Hibbing,
and later n other Wwns of the
ranges.

FIRST BLOOD FOR THE CITY.

In the application for the vacation
Of portion Of the city plat instituted
by the Security Land & Exploration
company for the vacation Of the plat
commonly known as East Virginia,
City Attorney Morgan started suit on
Saturday for permanent injunction
against further steps being taken in
the matter, and obtained an order to
show cause and a temporary order
against further steps until the hear
ing OF the matter, set for July 20.
This suit was formerly instituted
on the 18th inst, the restraining Or
der being granted on that day. After
ward the question OF the validity of
service of the order was brought up
by the Security Land & Exploration
company, but on Saturday Mr.. Nor
gan again went to Duluth and OBJ
tanned stipulation from the Security
people acknowledging that the serv-
ice was correctly made and that the
order Of the court was valid.
The Security company will now
doubtless proceed to obtain an order
to show cause why the city's order
to show cause and temporary re-
straining order should not be set
aside, but the first blood in the bat
tie goes to the city-and the last
blood in the battle will doubtless be
drawn by the municipality.
IF the resolution passed by the
former city council relating to the
prospective purchase of the light and
water plant, passed in March last, in
which notice is given the company OF
the city's intent to purchase in 1913,
under the terms OF the franchise, is
valid, would it not have to be re-
pealed before the company could le-
gally entertain proposition Of any
nature for the purchase of the plant
at the present time? Just a question
OF law. that's all; and as we are only
an editor, not a lawyer, we ask the
question with the full expectation
that many who do not know any more
about it than we might be expected
to, will answer.

WILL CALL FOR BIDS
on Publishing REPORT

X. ]. McGhee chairman of the light
and water committee, to which CON-
mittee was delegated the work of
'paring" the Burns & Mcdonnell re-
port and who in conjunction with the
printing committee was to have such
abbreviated report published, made a
motion which prevailed Tuesday
evening that such report be published
and that bids for the printing of
$500 copies in pamphlet form be
called for.
This report was referred to the
light and water committee to act in
conjunction with the printing COM
mittee some two months ago. II
printed complete it will make a vol
ume Of $50 pFges or more, but
whether it is desired to have the en-
tire report included in the proposed
publication or to present only the
more vital points Of the document to
the voters at this time is not known,
It's publication in full, however, will
convey to the voters of the city a
correct idea Of the light and water
plant value, Of the expense of run
ming such plant and other matters
which will pertain to the municipal
ownership proposition.
When published it will be worthy
the perusal Of every taxpayer of the
city.

TO ORGANIZE BASEBALL TEAM
Fred Anthony Is Getting Together a
Good Bunch of Players and Ex-
poets to Have a Team Organized
Within q Short Time.

Virginia will not have league ball
this season, but the chances are that
1t will have something just about as
good. Fred Anthony. one of the best
men behind the bat in the country, is
making an endeavor to get together
bunch of the best players in the
city, and there are many, and he
says that his efforts are in a fair
way to become successful. Besides
himeslf, Anthony has already lined
up the two Boyle boys, McCulloch.
Hole of the Mohamis, George Meehan,
Charley Mccormick and Joe Meehan,
the latter a promising twirler. An
effort will be made to secure Dahl
gren Of Superior, who is considered
one of the best pitchers in the coun.
try. Dahlgren is now in Michigan
but it is thought will come to Vir.
ginia If he is wanted.
This will be good news to Virginia
fans. as If this lineup is perfected
the range towns will see as good am
ateur ball as ever produced in this
section. Hibbing is more than anx.
lous to get Virginia into the game
for just at present the games being
pulled of there are rather lukewarm
Virginia and Hibbing are old enc.
mics in the baseball line and nothing
pleases the fans of either town more
than to witness the teams of these
two long-standing feudists On the
field of battle.
1t ia now up to Virginia fans to
boost the proposition to a successful
end. thereby securing a goou team
and good baseball entertainment fol
the balance of the season.

| MAY EXTEND ITS LINE
| TO CANADIAN BOUNDARY
Rumor Afloat That the Duluth, Mis-
sabe & Northern Railway Company
Will Extend Its Line From Some
Point ON the Range to Reach the
Canadian Line.

Since the advent of the Canadian
Northern into the field of railroading
from the Canadian border to Duluth
there has been many rum0rs of other
railroads building lines in that ai-
rection, the latest of which is that
the Duluth, Missabe & Northern will
extend it's line from some point on
the range to the Canadian border,
heading apparently for Winnipeg
This report is said to have first ema-
mated from the company's Office at
Hibbing, and later report comes
from the Office Of the Oliver Iron
Mining company OF the same place,
this latter report being seemingly
the most authentic.
It. is said the proposed route Is
to follow nearly the line OF survey
made about twenty-five years ago.
This runs northwest from Mountain
Iron, passing through the towns OF
Sturgeon and Morcom In St. Louis
county and crosses the Bear river
about two miles north Of the village
Of Bear River, and thence northwest
through the town of Carpenter in
Itasca county into Koochiching coun-
ty toward Winnipeg. 1t is said that
a party Of engineers are now at
work on the north end of this line
working southwark. establishing the
permanent route, and that it's con-
struction will begin at an early date.
Considerable strength is given
this rumor by the increasing inquiry
as to the iron indications during the
past four years in the Bear River
section. Several parties, who were
known to be in the employ of the
Steel corporation, have visited that
section, among them having been
cruisers, mining engineers and labor
atory chemists. That there Is iron
ore in the Bear River district has
been known for some years, but not
to what extent, though it is thought
there is enough to make it worth
while looking after. 1t is said that
some years ago drill was brought
into that section and some test work
was done in the town of Linden
Grove. After putting down two
holes the operators pulled up their
drills and moved them away and
they have been conveniently silent
ever since. Strong indications OF
ore are found in the towns of Bear
vile and Carpenter in Itasca county
and within short distance of the
proposed extension of the Duluth,
Missabe & Northern.
The extension of this road would
give the Bear River country a direct
connection with the Head Of the
Lakes, besides passing through the
heart Of what Is destined to be one
OF the richest farming communities
in this section of the country.
1t is quite likely that ii the ex-
tension is b0ilt it will be made from
the roads terminals at this point.
This will mean added business for
Virginia and more impetus in rail-
road circles.
