THE NlOHANu CONCERT

Despite lnclement weather the
Mohami band Of thirty-six pieces en-
rertained at the Olcott park, Sunday
afternoon. A fair crowd, consisting
mostly of Oliver Iron Mining COM
pany employees, was in attendance
and enjoyed the concert.
The band, which is under the d.
rection of Conductor Eugene Laugier
has made very good record since
organizing last spring and many en-
gagements for the winter and spring
have already been arranged. 1t Is
possible the organization will make
trip to Michigan next spring CIV
ing concerts.
Anent the band, Editor E. J. An
derson of the Gilbert Herald, an old
musician, has the following to say:
While at Virginia last Saturday
we had the pleasure Of listening to
the Mohami Band. This organiza-
ton is one of the best in the state
without doubt, and reflects great
credit on the leader. Prof Laugier
The harmony was excellent and
every member played his part in a
professional style. To a stranger
one would believe that this band
followed music as a profession and
would express considerable surprise
when the fact was made known that
all members were employed at var
ious vocations during the day in con-
nection with the mines. Performing
manual labor daily and producing
music such as was rendered by this
band last Saturday is worthy of CON-
ment and Virginia may we'll feel
proud of their Mohami Band.

ALWAYS ON THE JOB.

President Fred E. Lister of the
Commercial club, is always ION the
job as Virginia booster, as the
following from a recent issue OF the
Eveleth News will testify:
"F. E. Lister, Of Virginia, range
manager of the Mesaba Telephone
company, was in Eveleth Monday.
Mr.. Lister says that the Farmers
day in our neighboring city Sat-
urday was very successful. Farm
ers were in attendance from all
directions and~as.~~-far ~as twenty
miles away. Many from Forbes.
Wolf and other points south of Eve
leth exhibited their products which
it is said were among the best shown.
Including these were VIM. Haenke
of Elmwood farm near Wolf, and
Alex Zygowski, also of Wolf. Both
exhibited several varieties tpf po-
tatoes, as fine 40 can be growing,
besides turnips, carrots, ruta bagas,
beets, cauliflower, etc. Also wheat.
oats and winter rye. Mr.. Lister says
that the exhibits were far ahead Of
last year, indicating the rapid man
ner in which the country adjacent
to the range towns is developing.
The farmers this year again record
ed the number of acres under culti-
vation, and these figures compared
with those of last year show that
the cultivated area has almost
doubled in the past year.
Like good many other range
people, Mr.. Lister says that he has
just made the discovery that this
country is capable of wonderful
agricultural development and he is
going to begin himself to get into
the game"

According to the Gilbert Herald
of last issue 141 passengers boarded
the short-line train at that point on
Saturday, bound for Virginia. OF
the number 81 were women.
Nothing surprising about that,
Brother Anderson. The people Of
Gilbert, including the ladies-God

and the merchants of Virginia know
how to get trade by advertising the
bargains and specialties offered. And
after the trolley line gets going a

WHY TOM LEACH WAS LET GO
Manager Clarke Compelled to Trade Clever Player to Make Way
 Clear for Honus Wagner.

The cat is out of the bag as to why Fred Clarke, manager of the Pirates, apparently had to show his lack of sagacity as a big league team mana ger and be outdoRe in a trade when he let Tommy Leach and Lefty Lei field go to the Chicago Cubs in ex- change for King Cole and Sol Hof- man.
 According to a member of the Pi- rates, this trade or some other trade by which Tommy Leach would get out of the Pirate ranks was absolute ly necessary to prevent constant in- ternal dissensions and save the scalp of Barney Dreyfuss. president of the Pirates Also 1t had to be done in or der that Hans Wagner may be man. ager of the Pirates next season.
 This Pittsburg player declares that some time ago DTeyfuss promised Tommy Leach he would succeed Clarke when the present manager of the Pirates retired.
 At the beginning of the present sea. son Clarke told Dreyfuss he would re. tire at the end of 19t2 Clarke also told Hans Wagner. and tho big Dutch. man thought he would like to be man. ager of the Pirate for at least one season. He went to nreyfuss. and Dreyfuss told Wagner he would sue. ceed Clarke. This left nfeyfuss with two prospective managers on hla hands the fighting Tommy and the big nalehman.
