POLICE AUTO :.
!. IS PURCHASED
Commission Also Decides to Hire Man
To Look After White Way and
Fire Alarm Boxes. y .

The days when Virginia police off,
GERS will have to carry DRINKS of the
paralyzed type long distances to land
them in the city Jail are about over.
Likewise the days when the maudlin
resisting intoxicated are hauled
through the streets half naked from
resisting arrest are about passed, for
within 60 days the police department
of the city of Virginia will be equip
ped with modern, up-to-date patrol
wagon that will be available when
badly needed in just such cases as
these, as well as for the transporter
ton Of all persons arrested about the
streets to the city Jail. The purchase
of a 60-horse, six-cylinder Kissel-Kar
at cost of $4,000 was authorized by
the police and fire commission at its
regular meeting last Wednesday even
ing. 1t was bought from the Inter-
state Auto company of Duluth and
it is expected will be in service in
about 60 days.
A new garage will be built at the
rear of the station and will be so
arranged that the car can be driven
into it and prisoners committed with
as little publicity as possible. Two
drivers will 60 on duty, one for the
night and one for the day shift, and
the applications of B. Gordon, E. A.
Daggett and Oscar A. johnson are
now before the police and fire COM
mission for the job. The new "black
Maria" will be fully equipped and will
be identically the same car as that
recently put in service by the police
department at Duluth, succeeding the
gasoline-propelled ice wagon that
formerly served that city.
Another Good Job Created.
The police and fire commission also
decided to create another good city
job Wednesday evening, when it was
decided to hire a man to look after
the upkeep of the white way system
and the police and fire alarm boxes.
There are in the city at the present
time 169 ornamental light standards
and AZ police and fire boxes which
are practically without supervision
at present, receiving only such sup
CRITICAL attention as the roundsmen
Of the police force are able to give
them. The duties of the new man
will be to look after the upkeep of the
white way system and the police and
fire alarm boxes and to have charge
of the flashlights and other equip
ment of the police officers. He will
be designated probably as the city
electrician and will be expected to
make all necessary repairs to the
white way system, regularly inspect
it, have charge of the supplies neces-
sary and generally overlook all mat
tiers of that nature. 1t has been
proven recently that there is plenty
of work for such man. There are
no applications for the place up to the
present time.

GREAT NORTHERN SOUNDS
A NOTE OF WARNING

"A MULE Vt w ANN1lNU
In circular letter addressed to all
it's agents throughout the northwest,
H. A. Jackson, traffic manager of the
Great Northern, sounds a note of
warning regarding the situation with
regard to the coal supply for the win
ter of 1913-1914. The coal movement
from the Head of the Lake docks to
country points during August has
been far below normal, and as a re-
suit the storage capacity of all the
docks is taxed to it's utmost capacity
at present. This means that the dock
companies will be obliged to stop ship
ping from Lake Erie ports until such
time as the dock space at the Head
of the Lakes is available, unless the
dealers in and consumers of coal place
orders with the coal companies for
their winter requirements and have
their shipments made from the docks
Immediately. The coal now on hand
at Duluth and Superior should be all
moved to the country and the docks
again filled to capacity before the
close of navigation to take care of the
requirements of the northwest during
the winter. The existing condition is
serious and the local agent of the
Great Northern in Virginia is endeav-
oring to interest local coal dealers and
consumers in moving their coal at
once.

Big CONTRACTS
St. Louis Power Company to Furnish
Current for Lighting Plants at
Hibbing and Gilbert.

Wire for extensions of the power
transmission lines of the St. Louis
Power company, subsidiary of the
Mesaba Electric railway was received
this week and the construction work
will be begun shortly. The concern
has recently been awarded two i'm
portant contracts, these for the cleo
trio light plants at Hibbing and Gil
bert. It also is furnishing power to
the Virginia mine, where a crusher
plant and electric drills are being used
in mining iron ore. The concern ex-
poets to build up a big business on the
range and is installing the best trans
mission equipment from the outset.
The conditions at the Virginia mine
where the power is utilized are some
what different from that of most
mines on the Mesaba. The ore is
found in a hard formation and most
of it must 60 through crusher plant
before it can be handled for shipment.
The new system has but recently been
installed and is proving satisfactory.

ganizing with the completeness which
has marked the preparation of those in

sired results be obtained.
Tho various committees seem to have
exhausted all sources Of publicity at
very small expense. In but one re-
spect have the promoters Of homo prod
ucts fallen behind those who have for
eign products to sell. They have not
sought fully to advertise their wares
in the newspapers. Such advertising as
they have obtained free, while of great
help, cannot compare with the persis-
tent daily advertising Of foreign prod.
ucts, and, therefore, the benefits to
home industries must be more or less
spasmodic until system of unremit-
ting publicity is adopted, In this one
respect, however, the Utah dealers are
showing a decided improvement that
