GET LESSON IN
CITIZENSHIP
Night School Pupils Hold a Municipal
Election and Display Much
Interest.

Two of the advanced classes in the
night school being conducted as a
part of the work of the Virginia
schools held municipal election on
Monday night and some rs or 80 for
eigners who were members in this way
received practical lesson in the dis
charge Of the duties Of citizenship.
q The election was not given local
application. The candidates were bal
loted for under fictitious names, but
a regular election board was organiz-
ed, regular ballots were prepared and
counted and cast in the regular way.
The night school students displayed
much interest in the election and it
was held with an idea of instructing
them in the duties of exercising the
franchise of voting. An interesting
fact developed in connection with the
election was that a great majority
of those participating have not per-
fected citizenship while many of them
have not taken out first papers. Prac-
tical instructions as to the laws of
naturalization were also given. Sew
enty-eight new pupils were enrolled
in the night school during the month
of January.

THE RECORD OF 16
PLYMOUTH ROCK HENS

Sixteen White Plymouth Rock hens,
the property of State Mine Inspector
Dick Mitchell of Mountain Iron have
established themselves no doubt as
the champion January fresh egg pro-
ducers of the Mesaba range. Ten. of
the 16 hens are. less than a year old,
and the; other six are less than two
years old. During January the flock
produced 159 eggs. of this number 1O8
were produced during the last two
weeks of the month. Mr.. Mitchell,
who is known as an enthusiastic chick
en- fancier believes the record of his
White Plymouth Rock hens as layers
will be of interest to other range
chicken fanciers. Fresh eggs are SELL
ing on the Virginia market for 50cents
dozen, so that Mr.. MitchelPs ex-
perience clearly demonstrates that it
pays to keep good hens and look after
them we'll on the Mesaba range.

MERRY ROW ON
e - = $500 y 80 K - r
PARK BOARD
Body Divided Over Appointment OF
A. F. Thayer as Super
intendent,

There is merry row on the Vir-
ginia park board, the outcome Of the
appointment Of A. F. Thayer as park
superintendent. At Wednesday nights
meeting an unsuccessful effort was
made to have the appointment re-
considered and members of the COM
mission engaged in wordy war about
the salary for the position.
Commissioner Erickson is opposing
Mr.. Thayer's appointment on the
ground that he is inexperienced. 1t
is also proposed to GUST one member
for failure to attend meetings and
yesterday City Attorney Morgan was
asked to look into the legal aspect of
Mr.. Thayer's appointment. 1t is said
that injunction proceedings are con-
templated to stop the commission from
paying Mr.. Thayer's salary.
Commissioner Schulze stated last
night that he was confident Mr.. Thay-
er would make an excellent superin-
tendent. eff he does not fulfill the re-
4uirements of the place." declared Mr..
Schulze II shall stand for his being
succeeded. Mr.. Thayer is himself con-
6dent he can fill the duties of the
place acceptably and asks only a
trial."
Members of the Progressive league
are interesting themselves in the fight
and declare that the expenditure of
between $2o,000 and $4,000 of the
public funds should not be entrusted
70 an inexperienced man. Others de-
clare that the selection of Mr.. Thayer
was satisfactory and declare he will
demonstrate his entire fitness for the
place. Mayor Murphy openly: denounc-
IS the appointment Of Mr.. Thayer.

GOVERNOR EBERH ART INVITED

TOURNAMENT IN VIRGINIA
PLAN. TO BUILD
fine new BLOCK
Local Business Men Consider Fine
Building to Be Located at
West Virginia.

Local business men are considering
the plan of building at West Virginia
in the vicinity of the general yard
headquarters of the Duluth, Winni-
peg & Pacific railroad ia three-story
brick block to be utilized as hotel,
grocery store and billiard hall and
while no definite decision is yet an
nounced it is very probable that the
construction of such a building will
be begun there early in the spring.
The hotel as proposed will have about
40 rooms and will cater to employees
Of the D., w. & P. in the train serv-
ice. Investigation has convinced
those interested that such a
building will be a profitable
business investment and plans will
probably be drawn for it in a short
time.
Local realty men say that West
Virginia is due to experience the big
gest building boom in it's history with
the advent of spring. It led all sec
tions of the city in the number of new
residences constructed last year, it
is claimed, and the matter Of annexa-
tion to the city of Virginia will be
taker up at once with the city council.

JUDGE HUGHES HOLDS COUNCIL
HAD RIGHT TO INlPEACH NELSON
Decision Filed at Hbbng Yesterday the Effect Remov
al of S. A. Nelson from Board of Police and Fire
Was Justified Under the Terms of the City Charter

Judge Martin Hughes yesterday at
Hibbing filed his decision in the certi-
orari proceedings instituted by S. A.
Nelson looking toward his reinstate-
ment as a member of the police and
fire commission of Virginia.
Nelson was removed from officd
by a majority vote Of the council fol-
lowing his trial by that body under
impeachment proceedings charging
drunkenness, committing a nuisance
upon the streets of the city, gambling
and interfering with a police officer
in the discharge of his duty.
The court in it's memorandum holds
that the charges Of drunkenness and
committing a nuisance upon the city
strets were sufficiently substantial
ed to warrant the action taken by the
council when Nelson was removed
from office. 1t does not, however, find
the charges of gambling sufficiently
verified.
Nelson's attorneys have asked for a
stay of ten days. It is not yet definite
ly decided whether or not the case
will be appealed. The outcome of the
recent election on the charter amend
ments provides for the appointment
of an entire new board of commission

MONDAY WAS
GROUNDING DAY
Weather Prophet Rodent Didn't See
His Shadow and Winter May
Be Over.

Monday of this week was Ground
Hog Day, when according to an anci-
ent and -honored tradition the
ground hog emerges from his winter
quarters and takes inventory of the
weather. According to a legend of
long standing if the ground hog sees
his shadow he retires to his winter
quarters and sleeps for six weeks
more. If, however, the day is dark and
cloudy he remains abroad and the
back of the winter is said to be broken.
Grounding day corresponds to the
Candlemas day of English weather
lore and there is line which says:
"If Candlemas day be bright and
fair
The half of the winters to come
and more"
Monday was dark ::nG cloudy and
ov;r ast skies were the rule through
out the day. so if any grounding came
CT from hi, winter quarters he didn' I
see his shallow 3nd may still be at
large. The present winter up to date
has been on. Of the 11ildest in ten
peratures of any in the memory OF
old settlers on the Mesaba range.

CONTRACTORS ASKED TO MAKE
GOOD FOR ENTERTAINMENTS ON
PAVING CONTRACTS FOR CITY
LOGGER GETS
A BIG VERDICT
James Price Receivers from Backus-
Brooks Co. for Malicious
Prosecution.

The Backus-Brooks company, Inter-
national Falls lumbermen and among
the largest operators in northern
Minnesota, must pay to James Price
an Itasca county logger, we'll known
in Virginia the sum of $4,000 for
malicious prosecution. After trial
lasting the major portion of two weeks
in the district court at International
Falls before Judge Stanton the jury
last Saturday brought in a verdict in
that amount for Price.
The story of the case is interesting
and reads like one Of Stewart Edward
Whites early day stories of the log
ging camps of Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota.
James Price was in the employ of
a small operator who had drive of
!ogs to take down the Little Fork
river. Employees of the Backus-
Brooks company had built booms
across the Little Fork and held up the
drive Of the concern for which Price
was working. The logs Of the Price
concern according to the terms of a
contract were required to be delivered
at certain point at a certain time
but were held up by the boom and
the rear drive of the Backus- Brooks
company. Price and his companion cut
the booms and took their drive
through greatly to the inconvenience
of the Backus-Brooks people. Both
men were arrested on a charge of
malicious destruction of property and
made defendants in a heavy suit for
damages, which was subsequently lost.
Price brought the suit for malicious
prosecution, retaining N. B., Arnold
of the firm of Arnold & Pickering as
his attorney. 1t has been decided in
his favor. The other man arrested
with Price will bring suit on the same
grounds. 1t is regarded as probable
the Backus-Brooks people will appeal
to the state supreme court on ques-
tions of law and facts.

CAPITAL STOCK
IS INCREASED
American Exchange Bank Now Cap
italized at 100000 Rejecting
Prosperous Condition

An amendment to the certificate of
incorporation of the American Ex-
change bank of Virginia which in
creases its capital stock to 100000
is this week announced by the officers
and directors of that institution. This
bank now has the largest capitaliza-
tion of any bank north of Duluth.
The increase of the capital stock re-
fleets the general prosperous condi-
ton of the American Exchange hank
1t was established in this city in 1904
with capital stock of $4,000 and
has ever since done a good and con-
stantly increasing business. The
change just announced is in the inter-
e:ts of legitimate business expansion.
All the stockholders of the Ameri-
can Exchange bank have other local
interests and nearly all are Virginia
property owners. The fine business
success attained by the institution is
a tribute to it's conservative policy
and to its growing popularity with
Virginia business houses.
The officers of the American Ex-
change bank are w. H. Cole, presi-
dent; G. A. Whitman, vice PRESIDENT;
D. w. Stebbins, cashier, and C. T.
Ekstrand, assistant cashier.
The directors and their business
