SAYS PROVIDENCE SAVES
rs FROM DESTRUCTION

At a meeting of the State Fire
Prevention association held at the
City hall Wednesday evening the
audience was informed by w. O..
Chamberlain, one of the principal
speakers of the occasion, that it was
only because Providence had been
kind that Virginia had not for the
third time been devoured by a con-
fagration.
The speaker had two views of
back yards in the business district
of the city which he showed, and
which he stated would be taken
away by the members of the asso-
citation present, who had made an
inspection of the city during the day.
1t was stated that the owners of the
property where the views had been
taken had been advised to at once
clean the same, and Mr.. Chamber
lain gave it out that the state law
imposes heavy fine on anyone dis
obeying these instructions.
Mr.. Chamberlain also stated that
he had hoped to be granted the
privilege of addressing the pupils
of the public schools, but had been
unable to get permission so to do.
He contended that many of the fires
throughout the country were started
by the careless use ofmatches or fire
crackers by the little folks, and that
he usually made it a practice to ad-
dress the scholars, advising them
against the careless handling of
these things.
Other speakers of the evening
were Byron K. Cowles, who read a
paper on the comparative fire risk
in this country and in continental
Europe, in which the United States
shows up in very bad proportion.
R. L. Bruen and Louis Law, Sec
rotary of the State association, also
addressed the audience, while Pres
ident Lenont, of the police and fire
commission, made a few remarks on
the work being done in the city.
Some forty members of the State
association are on the present trip
Of inspection, and a most thorough
inspection of Easements and prem
fses in the business section of the
city was made, while a cursory re-
view of conditions in the outlying
districts resulted from the visit.

THE CCRFEW.

The relating of the necessity of
the enforcement of the curfew or
dinance by Alderman McGhee Tues
day evening and his assertion that
boys of tender age were to be found
on the streets smoking cigarettes
and using profane language at all
hours of the night, recalls the fact
that a certain member of the police
and fire commission was appointed
as a committee of one at a meeting
Of the commission some two months
ago to arrange for the sounding of
the curfew whistle. The records of
the commission will inform any who
wish to know the name Of the men,
Der to whom was delegated the trust.

V|ReINIl-PIkE RIVER AND .....'
international ROAD WORK
Road Overseer Charles Kangas Re.
ports Good Work Being Done on
Virginia-Pike River and Interna.
tiOnal Roads.

For a distance of fifteen miles
north, leading from this city to the
Pike River district, which section is
fast becoming settled by farmers,
fine progress is being made on re-
pairing the highway, according to
the report of Road Overseer Charles
Kangas. The repairs on this road
is being done by the county and
some Is men and six teams are en-
gagged upon the job. The road is
being widened to distance Of about
IS feet, the sand and gravel being
taken from the side of the highway
and the road proper graded in a
manner to allow good drainage. The
crew is obliged to do a considerable
amount of grubbing and cutting Of
underbrush to allow for the widen
ing of the road, but Mr.. Kangas says
that when the work is completed it
will be one of the best roads in this
section of the county, which fact will
be greatly appreciated by the people
of that section, as heretofore those
who were obliged to haul their farm
products into Virginia experienced
pretty tough sledding." The i'm
provement of this road will be an
added benefit to Virginia, for it will
give the farmers in that section an
opportunity to market their products
here instead of going to some other
town.
Mr.. Kangas also has charge of
the work on the International road,
which Is now being repaired for a
distance of about ten miles, and
which work is also progressing
nicely.
The work on both roads is being
done by the farmers residing along
those routes, who receive for their
services the sum Of $500 per day
and "eat themselves" The men with
teams are being paid $500 per day.
Mr.. Kangas handles the pay checks
and there is no John Doe" or "Rich-
ard Smith" receiving pay for nom
services. The sowing and planting
on the farms has been accomplished
and as there is little to do about the
farms for the present these men are
glad to secure employment at road
work and an opportunity to earn a
little ready money in aid of keeping
the wolf from the door during the
slack season.
Mr. Kangas says that more men
and teams will be engaged on the job
from time to time until the work is
completed, and that the work will be
pushed rapidly in order to finish the
same in time so the farmers may be
able to haul their products into Vir-
ginia after harvest time.
Commissioner Neil McInnis in
tends to push all possible road work
to the end that there will be little
criticism of the highways in this dis
trict henceforth.

MAY PUT ON SHAM
BATTLE AT COUNTY FAIR

The county fair promoters, num-
bered among the hustlers of the vii
lage of Hibbing, have made applica-
ton for a permit for the holding Of
a sham battle between the Hibbing
and Eveleth militia companies dur
ing fair week.
Hibbing has ever been blessed
with class of citizens who worked
tremendously for the general good
Of the city, and while neighbor may
not love neighbor they were all
found working together at all times
for the public welfare. And it is
this spirit which has assisted ma
terially in making Hibbing, and 1t
is the lack of this unanimity Of con-
certed action on the part of citizens
in some towns which has had a ten
dency to retard general growth and
prosperity in the community.

KILLING OF CALVES
CAUSES HIGH BEEF;
BUTCHERS ASKLAWS

. CHICAGO, Aug. 17.-Federal and
state legislation to forbid the slaughter
of calves will be asked of congress by
the United Master Butchers association.
1t is the slaughter of calves, the butch
ers say, that is responsible for the high
cost of meat. Proper legislation against
it. the butchers say would reduce the
cost Of beef tenScents a pound within a
year. and fifteen cents within five years.
ut is the wanton killing of calves
that is responsible for the high cost Of
meat" said Theodore Mix, of Minneapo-
lis. Unless it is stopped. | can foresee
a time when there will be practically no
beef for the market. Thed airymen are
most at fault. Many of them kill calves
for the profit of the hides alone
a resolution adopted by the associa-
ton demands laws prohibiting the kill
ing Of male calves under one year and
female under three years of age

The gathering was addressed by c. A.

All of the speeches were along the
usual line of Mr. Alexander's campaign
addresses, cards and promulgations.
Georgia was declared to be in state
of anarchy; the bosses" were alleged
to be ruling while the people weep; the
newspapers were viewed with alarm
and resolved to be in a diabolical league
against Mr.. Alexander, and Slaton's
campaign was declared to be in the
hands of the big interests"
Nothing much, one way or the other.

and his campaign was scarcely men,
