as being strenuously opposed to the

islature and DESTROYS of cooperating
with the city council in the work of
getting a market building this year
on the site the city has acquired for
that purpose. The club after some
discussion also concluded to adopt
the plan of being managed by
board of directors who will appoint
special committees to carry out
specific work as it arises. Last year
the club had large number of
standing committees and few of
these did active work. The standing
committee plan will be abandoned
and the board of directors plan
adopted. A meeting will be held
the night of the goth for the election

SENATOR b0YLE'S Letter
REGARDING STATE EIGHTY

Mayor Murphy's suggestion that
the city acquire the eighty-acre tract
lying just north of Olcott park has
met with general favor, and the
hope is expressed by many that ar
rangements for the purchase will
soon be made. The mayor COM
municated with Senator Boyle and
Representative Knapp in regard to
the city's chances OF acquiring the
land and received replies, which
were read at Tuesdays meeting of
the city council. The following is
from Senator Boyle:
St. Paul, Feb. 3. 1913.
Hon. M. A. Murphy.
Dear Sir: Pursuant to the re-
quest contained in your letter OF
January %, l called upon the state
auditor and had a talk with him
relative to the matter about which
you wrote.
There isn't anything that the leg
islature can do; at least, the auditor
so informed me. Under the consti-
tuition, these lands, as we'll as other
state lands, must be sold to the
highest bidder. The auditor has
about concluded that these two
''forties'' would bring into the state
a great deal of money if they were
plated into lots and then sold.
However, he says that If the citizens
of Virginia generally desire it, he
would be willing to put the property
up at public sale and give Virginia
chance to get it.
My suggestion is that you or some
committee get in touch with the
auditor and go over the entire prop
osition with him. Perhaps some
system can be worked out by which
the city con secure the property at
a reasonable price. Very truly
JAMES p. BOYLE.
Representative Knapp writes that
he is willing to assist the city in the
acquisition of the. land to any extent
| he is able.

AGRICULTURAL PERSu|TS
PROVE PROFITABLE HERE
Development Of Farming Land Adjacent To
Virginia Greatly Assisted BY Advent
Of Electric Inter-urban Railroad

Dairy farming is growing fast in
this part of the state largely on &C.
count of the splendid markets offered
by the mining towns for all the prod
utcs of the farm.
The coming of the new interurban
line and it's future extension will do
much towards assisting the producer
in getting his wares to market swift
ly and cheaply.
The scarcity of land in any great
quantity for farming purposes ad-
jacent to the mining towns of the
ranges owing to the refusal of the
big owners to sell and the hard win
ters makes the raising of grain diff
ficult and Improbable.
The back to the land enthusiasts
can however point to dairy farming
as means of livelihood that is safe
and profitable here. Virginia is
fortunate in having considerable
available land suitable for both
truck gardening and dairy farming
within easy reach of the city and
with excellent transportation facil-
tiles and rapid agricultural develop
ment is to be looked for during the
next five years. ::
Minnesota dairy produce for 1912
is valued at $53,000,000. The out
put of dairy products of last year,
established a record, and each COW
in the state produced an average of
175 pounds of butter which sold at
an average of q cents a pound, max
ing the average production from each
cow $47.25, an increase of more
than 10 per cent over the individual
record of 1911. The total income
from poultry for last year was APP
proximately $30,00o,000, an increase
of 100000 over the preceding
year, making a grand total for dairy
and poultry products in the state
last year of more than $S3,OO0,0OO
Minnesota creamery butter COM
manded the highest price on the
market and that a product unknown
to the state less than twenty years
ago is one of the greatest sources of
revenue. There are 1,125,O0O cows
in the state, yielding an average of
1000 pounds of milk containing $50
pounds of butter fat, equivalent to
IT'S pounds of butter. The state
marketed during the year approx
imately 100000 pounds of butter.
The statistics of 1890 gave Mime
sofa $4,000 COWS yielding an aver
age of 1880 pounds of milk and 1913
pounds of butter per COW. In the
twenty years the average production
from each cow in the state has been
increased $3.50.

Totals -. POI 1,461,599
There are conditions surrounding
dozen or more of the largest of
the state mines, that will compel the
lease-holders to greatly increase
their annual shipments; in. fact, 1t
is reported on good authority that
the allotment agreed upon for the
coming seasons shipments from one
of the mines by the leaseholders Is
100000 tons.
All indications point to a sub
stantial increase in shipments all
along the line, supplemented by the
impetus that will be, given produc-
ton by the entrance into the ship
ping list of six or seven additional
new mines.
There is every prospect that the
output in 1913 will reach mark
somewhere between 100000 and
100000 tons, and the trust funds
of the state enriched 100000.
That annual income is likely to be
maintained for the next IS years;
rather, be is said, increased; for
new discoveries of ore surely will be
made on state lands; and those
mines at present under lease un-
questionably will develop far more
ore than is now admitted, possibly
several times as much. The Guyana
range is developing into splendid
mining district, and the activity on
both the Mesaba and the Vermilion
ranges goes on undated.
In view of the fact that thousands
of acres of state lands lying within
the mineral area have never been ex-
plored, and the further fact that on
such lands on which ore has been
developed, a greater tonnage than
now known will be eventually mined,
it is no wonder that men who have
given the matter much thought and
who have looked far into the future,
prophecy that the trust fund of OUT
state will some day reach stupendous
proportions from iron ore royalty in
come.

PRODUCING MINES that
ARE OWNED BY the STATE
In 1912 Seventeen Shipped and In 1918
will Produce Revenues For
The People

The year 1912 was not only the
record year in Minnesota for the pro-
duction of iron ore-the output be-
ing 34,1O7,251 tons-but it was also
the banner year SO far as shipments
from the states own mines are con-
cerned.
The total tonnage of unmined
merchantable ore admitted to the
state tax commission by owners and
lease holders of mines last year, was
,340,743 tons: OF these depos-
its approximately 100000 tons,
or about one-tenth, were on state
lands.
There are now rs mines on state
lands developed to the shipping
stage, although there are at present
173 state leases in force, the lands
covered by 4S of which have been
proven to contain deposits of COM

Paul from James P. Bople and C. T.
Knapp in reference to enquiry from
Mayor Murphy about the city &C.
quiring the state 80 on the Mountain
Iron road. The state auditor has
advised that the land must be put
up for sale to the highest bidder but
has also stated that he would offer
it for sale and give the city chance
to get the title to the tract which is
desired for factory sites, athletic
field or any purpose that may be de-
cided in the future. The city wants
to own and control the land.
The Jones & Laughlin company,
owners of the property in the Jrth
part of the city known as the Co.
lumbia mine, filed plat with the
city clerk and have given notice that
they may ask for vacation of streets
and alleys on the property. This i:
taken to indicate that they may, IN
the near future, develope this pro j.
erty and take out the ore. Alder
man Mattson, McGhee and Coffe>
and the city engineer were appoint
ed a committee to consider what is
to be asked and to be ready to make
report.
The conncilmen, acting on the sug-
gestion of President Michael Boylan
fixed Saturday as the time and the
city hall as the place for meeting
the various representatives of the
breweries, at which time the alder
men will talk turkey to the brew
cry men and tell them that there
shall be absolutely nothing doing in
the way of sales to the blind pigs
and that the concerns that go con-
trary to what the wishes of the coun-
Gil are in this respect, will go with
out consideration when a liquor Ii
cense is desired for any property the
brewery owns or controls. The coun
Gil of Virginia has the power to re-
woke or refuse to grant any license
without giving any reason for it's
action.

CITY COUNCIL

The city council at it's meeting
Tuesday evening gave the third and
final reading to the so-called tele-
phone franchise ordinance. This
does not mean that any franchise is
granted. 1t means only that the
franchise is up to be bid on and the
council under the provisions of the
ordinance may reject any or all bids.
The two companies that have
shown and interest in the ordinance
are the Mesaba Telephone company
which has had service over the
Range for many years and the Range
Telephone company, the new organ
ization which is affiliated with the
Zenith company of Duluth and the
Tri-State's long distance lines.
Sealed proposals for the awarding
of the franchise will be opened by
the council at it's meeting March II.
There are petitions being circulted
both for and against the installation
of telephone system, other than the
one now operating. r. J. Montague
spoke at the meeting Tuesday night,
before the final vote on the ordinance
saying it is subterfuge to get some
thing new in effect and to soak the
company now in the field. City At
torney D. D. Morgan resented Mr..
Montague's remarks as personal
affront and wanted to know why Mr..
Montague had not been heard from
long before. He said: why have
we not heard from you before? You
are not s. CHI a modest little sunflower
that y u want to stay in the shade
all the time. l never knew you yet
to keep in the background when
there was an opportunity for you to
get in the limelight." Mr.. Montague
declared he was modest and that Mr.
Morgan was mistaken. Mr.. Morgan
admitted that he surely must be
mistaken. Those who voted no on
the adoption we're: Mattson, Coffey
and Boylan.
