ONE THING VIRGINIA NEEDS

ONE OF THE things which Vir-
Rinia has not which would be OF
xreat benefit to the city is a 7. M.
G.. A. Conditions are such In Vlr-
xinia and over the Range on account
OF the newness of the region and the
;rapidity with which 1t is developing
that there is a great predominance
a. Young men, who come here from
the older cities and the more deVel-
oDed sections of the country and are
awav from home influences. The Oh
liver Iron Mining company employees
have a place to go-the Mohaml club
and a splendid institution it is. Hun
dreds OF other young men employed
by other corporations and concerns
great and small would take advan-
tage OF the facilities a Y. M. c. A.
plant with reading rooms, gymnas-
ium. dormitory, baths and various
other facilities such an institution
provides, to say nothing of lectures
and entertainments as we'll as the
educational and religious features.
Those who have investigated, have
estimated that it would take $4,000
or $4,000 to erect and equip such
q building as Virginia needs. But it
would be we'll to have the organ
ization in temporary quarters while
the greater plans were being worked
out. When Y. Nj. C. A. was talked
Of for Virginia a year or two ago,
two or three of the large corpora
tons of the city employing young
men gave assurance that they would
have generous sums available for
such purpose, recognizing the bene-
fits of such. The D., M. & N. road
encourages the Y. NJ. C. A. at Proc
tor and the Iron Range road knows
that Y. NJ. G.. A. at Two Harbors
pays in more efficient work by the
men who are the members Of it.
The sentiment in favor of Y. NJ.
c. A. for Virginia is arising again
and it is probable that the present
yeaf will see the organization in ex-
istence. 1t may be a year, or two,
or three before Virginia's Y. NJ. c..
A. will have it's own home. The
Enterprise predicts that this city will
have a Y. NJ. c. A. within a reason
ably short time. The demand and
need for Y. w. c. A. is scarcely less
than that for the "Y. NJ" and the
~. W." Is likely to come in the
natural course of things too.

THE boldest policy is the one
which oftenest wins. The man who
does not stop to consider the
strength of the opposition for a
single moment will scale the
heights and having made the
achievement may wonder how he
ever did it. The boldest measures
can be carried through, if they have
the merit of being right.

Conrad Mattson, who was present,
requested that the Finnish people be
allowed a room at the North Side
school for Sunday School purposes.
According to a former action of
the board, it was decided not to al

was thought at this time that they
had better not deviate from the
above custom at this time and no
action was taken.

Savannah, Oct. 14-Dr. G., H.
Layinder, IN charge of the marine
hospital, who reported an epidem-

from the bite of mosquito" said
DR., Lavinder today, land physi-

treatment of the disease"
