WANT NEW THEATER.

A number of local people are said
to be using all their influence to get
the Virginia lodge of Odd Fellows
to accept the proposition to put a
really first class opera house in
their new building.
1t is understood that some wealthy
Duluth men we'll known in theatrical
circles have approached the Virginia
lodge with this end in view. The
enormous number of Virginia peo-
pie who now patron1ze the new Eve

en- there has set people thinking and
wondering why they cannot all see
the same shows at home in their
own city.

Among the most attractive scenes
in "A Modern Eve" the latest Ber-
lin musical success, which Mort H.
Singer and Martin Beck will offer
at the Auditorium in Eveleth, is the
beautiful wedding finale of the open
ing act, in which the principals and
chorus appear in the most exquisite
costuming seen on the stage in
years; the alluring "siren" number:
the laugh provoking debate, in which
the women assert their superiority
over the men, and the satirical d.
vorce scene. The delightful music
of "A Modern Eve" written by the
two foremost composers Of light
opera in Germany, Victor Hollaen-
der and Jean Gilbert, includes among
it's popular song hits, Goodbye
Everybody" the waltz song which
enjoys the vogue recently had by
Every Little Movement of Ma

The big cast of principals is headed
by Adele Rowland, who appears in
her original role, Alexander Clark,
Ray Raymond, Airline Boiling, Louis

VIRGINIA MAY BECOME
REAL FOREST CT

Virginia has $4,000 worth of
growing trees all doing fine and in
excellent condition. A healthy five
years old tree is easily worth SO in
the ground and this city has now
about $500 growing trees in the
streets and avenues and another 500
in the various parks.
The park board has been very
successful in their work and has
lost very few trees or shrubs. About
the only real trouble they have ex-
perienced is that of horses and cows
eating the bark off the young trees,
the various delivery teams of the
city being by far the worst Offend
ers. The city through the park
board took the matter up last year
and hauled some of the owners of
the horses into court with the re-
suit that the trouble was to some
extent stopped. The park board has
decided that the most satisfactory
method will be to follow some of the
other cities and put wire guards
around the trees: This will be done
during the coming sumner. The
experiment was tried last year with
200 trees and it was found that the
trees that were fenced in were left
uninjured.
The plan of planting with dyna-
mite has been tried here and found
to be highly successful, inasmuch as
it not only makes hole for the
tree but also opens up cracks in the
surrounding earth which will allow
the roots and moisture to find a
passageway.
1t is expected that many new
trees will be planted this summer
and then practically every street and
avenue in the city limits will have
trees on either side.

VIRGINIA'S LID FITS;
IS SPIKED DOWN TIGHT.

The lid is on real tight in Virginia
and it has spikes in it for those who
are tempted to pry it open for a few
extra hours.
Absolute strict enforcement of the
liquor laws is demanded by the pres
ent council and the police depart
ment under Chief Ellis Walsh keep
close tab on the side doors of all sa-
looms. While there are very few it
any that attempt to evade the time
limit, the police are instructed to
try every side door as we'll as the
main entrance of all places where
intoxicating liquors are sold.
A we'll known and prominent sa-
loon keeper named Pat Sullivan is
charged with keeping open over af-
ter hours and a warrant has been
sworn out for his arrest. The case
was brought up before Judge J. p.
Carey in the municipal court and on
application of Sullivan's attorney
continued until Tuesday.
1t is claimed that the saloon was
found open at O'Clock in the morn
ing of Friday February % and that
five men were in the saloon drink
ing at the time the police entered.
The bartender was arrested and
those who were present were taken
as witnesses.
The case is attracting consider
able attention at this time as the
observance of all liquor laws is be-
ing closely watched upon the ranges.
The council is said to be watching
the progress of the action with in
terest. Should it be proven that a
fragrant breach of the law and or
dinance took place the license may
be revoked.
A report of the police court pro-
ceedings in the case will be submit
ted to the council.

that considerable merchantable ore
will be brought to the surface during
the season. A fine brick engine and
boiler house has ben constructed and
the concrete smoke stack is a fine
piece of work. The grade of ore in
the mine is claimed to be god and
a considerable quantity will be
shipped before the close of 1913.

By EDWARD BEATTIE

Everyone has seen small object placed high on the poles carrying electricity to your house; you have al so wondered what it was for. These small, black objects lower the volt age of the line so that it may be used for household and other purposes. The wireless transformer resembles these in all respects except that it raises the voltage and that slight changes must be made in construction for it's purpose. It is an instrument having two windings of wire, one coarse and the other fine. Both of these are wound on an iron core When cur rent is sent through the primary, or coarse winding, the iron core is mag netized. The magnetic lines, passing through the finer winding, called the secondary, which is in their path, set up in it a high potential. This high voltage charges the leyden, or else q glass plate condenser, now used more than the former on account of it's compactness. The condenser dis charges a multitude of sparks across an instrument called the spark gap, with such rapidity that it looks like one solid flame. This discharge af- fleets the ether and produces the eff feet in the receiving set. By pressing a telegraph key for short and long periods, the dots and dashes of the code are sent out. This discharge is the noise that takes the visitors breath away when he is visiting a wireless station.
 The sending outfit now must have an instrument for tuning, or balanc- ing the circuits. This is called a helix. It bears the same relation to the send ing apparatus as the tuning coil does to the receiving set. It is a cage-like affair and is made by winding several turns of heavy wire on large drum.
 Although wireless telegraphic appa- ratus is required on all ocean-going carrying over fifty passengers and travelling more than one hundred miles from port, it is still emphati- cally in it's infancy, In the near fu- ture it will be doing things unthought- of, and even unheard of Among the many things now accomplished by it's use is sending out a signal from the Efiel Tower in Paris at certain per iods so that jewellers, shops and rail-

way stations may have the exact time.
 It is saii that the French govern, ment has art wireless to the use of steering torpedoes over the water, di- recting them to the enemy's ship. The same government has also adopted a plan of sending out signals from diff ferent points on the sea-coast every few seconds. Those originating from different places have distinctive tone from which the wave comes, the exact location of the ship on which it is received can be calculated.
 A gentleman by the name of Cris- topher Wirth, recently demonstrated on Lake Wanasse, near Berlin, Ger many, his crewless vessel, directed solely by means of his wireless appa' ratus. This is a noteworthy invention as life boats can be directed to yes sels on the rocks, or else take out a lifeline, and many other things can be accomplished by its use.
 Frank w. Prentice, Canadian, re- gently perfected his device, which, when there is a washout-out on the railroad or any other trouble on the track, will bring a speeding train to a full stop as it hears that section.
 Several men are now experimenting with the directing and steering of air craft by this wonderful means, but, to the writer's notion, this will not prove very practicable, because when a gust of wind strikes the machine, the person on the earth who is con trolling it would not be quick enough to right the plane before it would lose it's equilibrium.
 It is suggested that wireless can be used to light the signal lamp on light buoys, thus saving the cost of hay ing someone make the rounds to ex- tinguish them in the morning and light them at nightfall or to save the cost of keeping them lit all day, both methods which are now in vogue. It might also be used to regulate clocks within radius of several hundred miles, just as one master clock now regulates all the clocks in one build ing.
 These are only a few of the prac- tices which this mysterious wonder of the twentieth century can do, and within the next twenty-five years the present day apparatus will be consid- cred primitive, and wireless will be doing feats that you or I are not now able to think of

PIONEER
 TALKS OF TOWN

"Things look good to the Westward, notwithstanding the numerous disap- pointments that our people have en- countered in the way of developing our great natural resources" said George Sexton, of Seward, yesterday Mir. Sexton is proprietor of the Col man hotel at Seward. He is enroute to Chicago where he will be a wit ness in the Alaska coal land case which is set for trial on Feb. IT, next. Mir. Sexton is a witness for the government
 "The people of the Cook inlet coun- try know that that section has bright future" Mir. Sexton said, "and they know that development Is bound to come. Therefore the people are hope full and there is not that feeling of depression that is sometimes found in other localities. And we have a fine lot of people, too.
 Mining is increasing every year, both as to quartz and placer, and we believe we have one of the most prom ising sections of the territory.
 And as a hunting ground it is not excelled anywhere. If you want moose hunting, or bear or wild fowl, you must visit that region, and fish ing, one can get any kind that he likes"
 MT. Sexton expects to return from the East sometime in March, and eX- poets to stop over in Juneau for a few days, with his daughter who will accompany him to Chicago.
 MT. Sexton was a pioneer of skag- way and participated with Captain Tanner and others in the cleaning out of the undesirables in that town in 1898.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The de- tailed plan for controlling and regu- lating all corporations engaged in h. terstate Commerce submitted by Sen ator Bristow provides for jurisdiction over all concerns doing business of s5,OOO,OOO a year outside those per forming duties of transportation com panies. In effect it creates tribunal similar to the Interstate Commerce Commission for dealing with all in- dustrial and commercial agencies. An Industrial Commission of seven mem bers is proposed by MT. Bristow.
 His plan is the same as that here tofore advocated by Col. Roosevelt and many Progressives. In explain ing his bill the Senator said;
 "This bill creates an industrial com mission, giving it the power over in dustrial concerns that the Interstate Commerce Commission has over trans portation companies, and which the Comptroller of the Currency has over National Banks.
 Suits brought by the Department of Justice or by the commission will proceed as usual, but while these suits are dragging their weary way for years through the courts the yio lations of the law will not be per mitted to go on as they do now.
