Dixie Walker pitched good ball.

Westervelt was off on balls and

glory and a uniform big enough to cover

Percy Given was seen to give an ex-

escape a foul careering into the upper
tier.
The megaphones have made a decided
hit with the fans, and should be a fea-
ture OF the contests at the concrete
coliseum this season..
Al Williams debuted in fine style, his
pegging to second being sharply accu-
rate, and his backstopping smoothly eG-
rectve. Williams will do.
The Nationals showed absence of brain
in combating the umpires in a bunch in
the seventh. thus giving Morgan a
chance TO warm up. They probably
realize this today.
Bill Cunningham replaced Mcbride at
short in the ninth, but had nothing to
do. Bill looked strange in that section
of the infield, but his good physical con-
dition was marked by the fans.
Much comment was heard about the
new sCoreboaTd. TIE games at the con-
crete coliseum will not be first class

other battles in the league.

new SCHOOL BUILDING
FOR PIKE RIVER|TES
Virginia Board Of Education Contemplate
the Erection Of a Two Room School
Building for the Pikers.

Owing to the largely increasing
attendance Of pupils of the school
in the Pike River district the school
board of the Independent School Dis
trict No. 22 of Virginia, the district
of which extends to a distance of
some eleven miles north of this city,
may decide 20 erect two-room
building for the accommodation of
the children of that sc a.ion this
summer. The district around Pike
River is fast settling up with far
mers who have many children and
the present school building located
there is too small to house the num-
her of children restdibe5in that see
ton. The past year two teacher
were employed to teach the children
of that district, with only one room
in which to carry on their work, and
as the present membership of the
board are in favor Of a larger build
ing it is likely that the work will be
accomplished this year. ::

CNITARIANS WILL BUILD
CHURCH.

The Finnish Unitarians Of this
city will soon begin the erection Of
church edifice at the corner of
Beech street and Wyoming avenue.
The building will be 28x40 feet with
basement and will be of frame con-
struction. J. A. Kertu. is chairman
Of the building committee and states
that the work of digging for the
basement will be begun as soon as
the ground is in shape, which at the
present time is in rather a wet con-
dition. When the church is complet-
ed Rev. Risto Lappala will be in
charge. Rev. Lappala formerly re.
sided in Duluth, where for a time he
acted in the capacity of editor of a
Finnish paper, and is quite well
known in Virginia. He is at present
assisting in the clerical work at the
American Exchange bank.

MAY PETITION FOR MUNICIPAL
COAL AND WOOD YARD.

The Enterprise scribe overheard
coterie of Virginia workingmen
one evening recently discussing the
idea of municipal coal and wood
yard for this city, and was struck
with the statement of one of the
men that there must be profit in the
at the mine at about $2.75 per ton
business where coal may be bought
and when delivered to the consumer
in Virginia stands the purchaser
about $500 per ton. The men were
discussing the idea of petition to
the council for the installation of a
municipal plant for such necessities,
and we doubt not it will find it's way
before the body shortly. A saving of
such an amount as the statement re-
ferred to would make to the average
family would materially assist in
paying the light and water bills of
the householder.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH
VIRGINIANS?

A regular meteing of the Com
mercial club was called by Secretary
Archer for last evening, but the lack
of quorum prevented the transac-
tion OF an amount Of necessary busi-
ness. The Commercial club has a
mission in the city. and it is wrong
that so few of the business people,
those most directly affected, make it
point to be in attendance at the
meetings of the body. At last even
ing's meeting there was to have
been up for discussion the Fourth
Of July celebration, baseball and
kindred matters, while a proposition
Of more lasting value was the con.
sideration of a communication from
a large wholesale house desirous OF
locating at this point.

If reports are true and little

Duluth 4 iron Range will be run
ming its trains into the station OF
the Duluth, Missabe & Northern be-
fore many months have passed. Sur
veyors have been at work for some
time running lines from a point near
Mariska to the Missabe tracks and
it is said that the work of grading
the road bed and the laying of ties
and rails will be begun shortly.
If this comes to pass the new or
der of things will prove of great
convenience to the travelling public
who are obliged to ride on the Iron
Range out and into Virginia. The
long climb up the hill east of the
city, where the present Iron Range
depot is located, will be eliminated
and t he travelling public will great
ly appreciate the change.
1t is said that iron is located un-
der the site of the present Iron

the near future develop the property
and that it is for this reason that
the Iron Range people are desirous
OF making the change 50 as to take
