CORPORATION Is GOOD
AND VIRGINIA IS LOYAL.

P. E. bowling, former Range man,
now of Duluth and president of the
Greater Duluth club in an article
lately printed on what is hobbling
the growth and development of Du-
luth points out Virginia. as the mo-
del city that has initiated and es-
tablished improvements without con-
sulting corporate interests. Mr..
Bowling, says in part: Let me show
you how Virginia, Range city, as
one example of the many, has grown
to be one of the prettiest cities in
America. Virginia did hot play the
game of subserviency to the large
corporation. She went ahead with
the spirit of independence and when
told that she could not do this or do
that: that she could not build
large high school or lay out a pretty
park, or have a lighted way or pave
her streets or build her public build
ings other than schools, she simply
came back with the reply that the
people of the city were not consult
ing the steel corporation as to what
they should do. They were going to
levy taxes adequate for all improve
ments and were not going to allow
or tolerate any form of dictation
from any corporation. Yet Virginia
is loyal to the interests Of the cor
poration and evidences go to show
that Virginia has today the admra-
ton of the United States Steel cor
poration.'
Speaking specifically about the
United States Steel corporation, Mr.
Bowling said in part in the same
paper: II know of no better corpora
ton. Its history on the Ranges is a
history of broad and human policy,
a history that has always given evil
dence that the corporation stood
ready and willing to cooperate with
every community, with every city, on
the ranges

Mesaba Electric railway. The lad

WOMEN HAMPER FIREMEN.

The fire department had a mid
night run to the home Of Michael
Azar. 225 Elm street, early in the
week. The cause of the cont1agra
slight as the department arrived be-
fore the blaze had secured a big
dwelling and some of the women
hampered the movements of the fire
fighters by insisting on trying to en-
ter the burning building. The prop
erty loss was less than $500 with in
surance to cover loss on building but
none on furniture.

LIBRARY CONCERTS POPULAR

The Sunday concerts at the public
library are very popular and large
number of people are attending each
one. The music is rendered by the
new Victrola and considerable care
and attention has been given the
selection of the records chosen.
R. c. Pickering, the secretary of
the library board, said in talking of
the Sunday concerts that he was
glad that the public seemed to so
far appreciate the entertainments
that had been arranged and that the
number of the attendance seemed
rather to increase than to deminish
as the time goes on.

TWO BASEBALL COMMITTEES
APPOINTED.

This city has two committees of
five each, one a general committee
appointed at a baseball meeting Sat-
urday night and the other appoint
ed by the president of the CONNER
cial club to 60 out and sell stock in
the baseball organization which will
have team in the Northern league.
At a largely attended meeting Sat-
urday night at the city hall the pro-
moters and fans organized for the
purpose of arranging the finances for
the team with D. D. Morgan as chair
man and Frederick Mackey as secre-
tary. The working committee ap-
pointed by Mr.. Morgan includes
Fred E. Lister, Tom Lusk, Ellis
Walsh, Mike Moylan and Chase
Stevens. Among those present at
the meeting were A. B. Coates and
Ed Finch, the recognized chiefs in
matters pertaining to baseball or
ganization in Virginia. Mr.. Coates
said that among provisions for the
most unfavorably season that could
be anticipated $4,000 would finance
the team as a guarantee and that
with good luck all the way through,
it might be that no part of the guar
antee fund would have to be used.
Mr.. Finch explained that each city
had to deposit $500 to defray league
expenses, cost of umpires, a statis-
tician and other minor expenses.
Last year a baseball company was
organized and incorporated and that
organization will be used this year.
When the stock is sold the stock
holders will meet and elect directors
and they in turn will elect officers.
The par value of the stock is $40
per share. In this region many quit
work from 4 to $3.50 o'clock and it
is the intention of the promoters to
have quite number of after-supper
games played. This is REGARDED as
being as practical here, on account
of the long twilight as it is in Win
nipeg and other cities of the Can
adian Northwest where at times the
league teams play three ball games
in one day, two in the afternoon and
one after supper. The Virginia or
SANITATION has three managers un-
der consideration, one of whom is
Spike Shannon, formerly with the
New York national league team and
later with Kansas City and St. Paul.

ENTERPRISE CONTRIBUTOR
TELLS OF NIGHT SCHOOLS.


TELLS OF NIGHT SCHOOLS.
The Virginia schools are carrying
on an interesting work through the
evening schools. On three evenings
of each week the night classes for
foreigners are assembled in the
Roosevelt school building, and here,
under the guidance of teachers who
understand and sympathize with
them, they are eagerly endeavoring
to master the difficulties of our
language, gaining knowledge which
will make them happier in their
daily life and better citizens of the
country which they have adopted.
In community such as ours,
where so large a part of the pop
ulation is made up of foreigners,
the significance of such a training
can easily be understood, for just as
surely as the school child of today
is the citizen OF tomorrow, so the
foreigner of today is also the future
citizen, and his attitude towards
American law and ideas depends
largely on his knowledge of the
language
In the night classes are gathered
men and women from many differ
ent nations of Europe, each with
their different ideas and national
peculiarities and each accustomed to
the laws of their own country. The
close association of the class room
joins them together with a common
desire for progress and mental i'm
provement, in common spirit of
democracy and tolerance towards
each other regardless of nationality
1t is interesting to note the high
respect and regard which they have
for their teachers, their eagerness
to please and their pride in their
own advancement and progress. On
one occasion the teacher was ex-
planning to a very new beginner the
difference in the meaning of two
words with similar sounds. The
pupil was having difficulty in grasp
ing the trend of the explanation. A
countryman of the pupil, being more
advanced and occupying seat at the
other side of the room, was quite
interested in the proceedings and at
this juncture turned about and in
their common tongue made the ex-
planation to the beginner, where
upon he was politely thanked by the
Enterprise-Eleven .. -. -.
teacher and he resumed his work.
Glasses in the common English
branches are being held in the
Northside school building for those
who live in that locality.
While the newcomer is being TAX
en- care of in this way, there are
classes conducted in the Technical
high school building every evening
of the school week for the benefit
of those who wish to take up the
commercial branches but who are oc-
cupied at some other work during
the day.
Among the subjects taught are
bookkeeping, short4hand, typewrit-
ing and mechanical drawing, the
class rooms being equipped with the
latest office fixtures.
All these evening classes are open
free of charge to anyone wishing to
enroll.
America has been called 1.-The land
of schools and this is especially
true of the range towns where every
opportunity is given, not only to the
child but to the worker who wishes
advancement along higher branches
of learning. but to the newcomer as

FROSTLESS
POTATO

John Harris of Raethi, New leland
has discovered a new blight proof and
frost resisting potato. The discovery
is said to be the most important one

Agricultural Department of the New

the phenomenon and admitted that
the properties claimed for the new p0-
tato are beyond question.
Mr.. Harris has been experimenting
with potatoes for years and some time
ago he noticed healthy stalk grow
ing among crop of Northern Stars
and Fl DoradOs. all OF which were ef-
fected by blight. He took up the root
Of the healthy plant, and finding it IN

The result is that potato now called
