MAYOR ELlVE

Michael Boylan, Progressive Vir

In Queen City.
FORMERLY NEWSBOY
IN MICHIGAN CITY
Has Been Member of City Council for
Seven Years and for Past Two Has
Served as President-Came to Vir-
ginia as Working Plumber and Sue
cess Is Tribute to Energy.

Michael Boylan, of whom it is soft
ly whispered that his friends, who are
many. are bound to make him the
next mayor Of Virginia, wishes all to
know that though he would consider
it great honor to be thus chosen the
chief officer of our fine city, he is yet
mindful of the fact that people need
him for something else as we'll.
NJ. Boylan & Co., are in the plumb
ing and heating business, and in real
earnest about it. Mike is not like the
German girl spoken of by her friend,
Il have looked for her everywhere and
couldn't findt her all over" You can
look for Mike everywhere and find
him all over. True, like good Irish
man, he manages to spare little of
his time for politics, but that is rest
ing with him. He wants jobs, putting
in heating and all branches of plumb
ing, and he wishes people to know that
he understands his business; that he
is not too indolent to do the work
right, and that though he believes
that the laborer is worthy of his
hire, he wants no mans money un-
less he gives full value therefor.
Among the many important jobs
which Mr.. Boylan's firm have done

coal can be shipped by water. The
cranks will get busy, and iron and
steel will be manufactured without the
use of pound of coal, and then will
Virginia become a great city.
Right at our gates we have the raw
material; within a stones throw we
have the power which will make that
raw material take the form Of finished
product. Is it then unreasonable to
expect that in the near future the ex-
periments now going on of changing
iron ore into iron and steel by means
of electricity will be reality?
And when that day comes, Virginia
will not only be the Queen city of the
Mesaba, but also the great manu-
featuring and industrial center of the
empire of the northwest.
We have now four railroads con-
Meeting US with the great lakes and
the markets of the east and Europe;
we have two connecting us with the
Pacific coast and the immense terri
tories lying between us and the far
west. Empires which have barely
started in the building, where millions
and millions of dollars worth of the
products we have in abundance will
be required and utilized every coming
year. Not always shall we be carry
ing coal to Newcastle; not always
shall we labor to thwart the scheme OF
things as established by wise Provi-
dence.
Our mineral resources are unlimit-
ed; we have only begun scratching
in the surface, and ten years opera
ton has revealed to US that instead
of exhausting our resources we have
only explored to lay them bare fol-
future.
These advantages, with our natura
advantages, will draw capital; mer
with modest sums to be invested will
be attracted, and sanitary up to date
dwelling houses will spring up.

THE SUCCESS OF
FRANK E. SKARP
Reared on Carlton County Farm and
Firm Believer in Future of
Northern Minnesota.

Frank E. Skarp, whose place of
business we find at No. 101, Mesaba
avenue north, came to Virginia near
ly four years since, and has in that
time built up a large business in his
line.
Mr.. Skarp was born in the northern
part of Finland, but while yet he was
a babe, his parents decided to seek
a new home in the land of the free.
At the age of 2 years he came with
his parents to Carlton county, where
he grew up on a farm.
He has lived on the range the last
Ia years, is married and the father
of nine children, seven of whom are
now living, and five attending our
public schools.
MIR. Skarp is of great help to the
Finnish people, being conversant with
the Finnish language as we'll as the
English, in speech, reading and writ
ing.
Mr.. Skarp is in the business of gen.
eral conveyancing, real estate, power
Of attorney to be used in the old coun-
try, insurance, foreign exchange,
steamship tickets, etc.
In real estate he has made manv
deals in the city of properties reach

this means to put the heaviest burden
on those who are the most able ia

work and such men.
Speaking Of Boylan's running pro-
pensity reminds the writer of the
story told of an 1rishman. Pat was
running away from a ghost which
had taken it into it's bonehead ia
chase him. After he had run until
he was sorely winded, he thought he
had gotten rid of his ghostship and
seated himself on a fallen tree to
rest. Wiping his forehead he said

known to Pat had seated himself by
his side, "and whin you have risted
we will run some more"
Mike is Irish. and he likes it. Some
times an Irishman will do things that
those who think they hate them must
admire. The writer was told of an
incident in Mikes career which shows
his character and leaning, and it was
told by the man who is in the habit
of speaking the truth, and who
claimed to know the facts.
It seems that some captain Of in
dustry in Virginia got notion that
1t was necessary to build barracks
for the state militia in the town. This
was before the several corporations
had discovered that it pays in the end
to treat people as human beings. A
strike was imminent or in progress,
and this Jealous captain wanted the
militia close at hand. Mike was a
councilman, and when the question

comfortable majority. Somehow, the
people of the ward forgot that he
was a democrat, at least the republi-
cans: and progressives did, and re-
membered that Mike had always been
on the square.
Boylan is married, and though he
may have offended some Irish girl
by marrying a Swedish lass, Mike
himself seems to be both happy and
proud Of his choice. They have two
little Boylan's, one girl and a boy,
and they are naturally both pretty and
witty. (The writer here wishes to
give voice to his own opinion on the
matter. which is, that the easiest way

there with a big No. what, build
barracks in our city for a lot of fell
lows who might be called upon to
shoot down our citizens? No, never!"
The barracks were not built and the
corporations got along with grease
better than with bullets.
Mike has also the agreeable habit
of paying his men good wages, and
as councilman he has waged many
battle to raise the wages of the city
employees. He is old fashioned enough
to believe that the man who labors
should have his just share of what
he produces, and he's not afraid to
say so, even when it touches his own
.pocketbook. He is an earnest and
outspoken friend with his friends!
and as an enemy he has the reputa-
ton of being pretty hot potato.
But even his enemies admit that he
fights fair; if he doesn't like you he
never tries to stab you in the back;
he tells you his feelings right to your
teeth, and he doesn't shed any tears
back, as usual with those people.

With all his activities Mike has
found time to do some reading, and
naturally, his mind has broadened

writers of the world. He is neithe,
a political nor religious bigot, ana
the old ryme about Dublin City does

Besides the many other businesses
and affairs. already mentioned, Mr..
Skarp is the legal stand for the Fin
nish people, many of whom are not
able to understand or express them
selves in the English language. He
does not pretend to be a lawyer, but
he has had wide experience in legal
matters, and when an attorney is
necessary he helps his countryman to
secure one that will suit the occa-
sion and explains the matter in ques-
tion to him.
He employs in his office, as steno-
grapher, Isaac Lemppa, Jr., a young
lad whose father is the Finnish
Apostolic Lutheran minister at En-
barrass, and who likewise speaks the
Finnish as we'll as the English
Language.
By and through square dealings
with his country people, Mr.. Skarp
has gained their confidence and es-
TEEN; they all appreciate his willing
ness to aid them, and they know that
ne possesses the necessary qualif-
cations to that end.
Mr.. Skarp looks forward to busy
time in the future, as he is confident
of Virginia's prosperity and growth.
