THANKS THE VOTERS.
To the Voters of the Sixty-first Leg
islative District:

To the Voters of the Sixty-first Leg
islative District:
Editor of the Enterprise: I desire,
through the columns of your paper,
to thank the voters who gave me such
liberal support in the recent prim-
aries, and which gave me the nomina-
tion for representative of the 61st
legislative district. To say that ap-
preciate the handsome compliment
paid me would be putting it mildly.
Being nearly a stranger in the dis
trict and to receive the excellent vote
that I did, it certainly is encouraging
to one who is rather new in the polit-
ical game.
l desire to meet each and every
voter in the district before November
3, with desire to more fully familiar
ize myself with what the people want
and expect of member Of the legis-
lature.
Feeling that the excellent vote
which received at Tuesdays prim-
aries was an endorsement of the
policies which l advocate I wish to
reassure. all that I still stand for
everything that will be of benefit to
the district =.
While received most hearty en-
dorsement throughout the district,
am equally proud Of that which was
accorded me in my home city of Vir-
ginia. Respectfully yours, =
ADV. J. II. GILL.

Twenty Acres Are Being Cleared
In Itasca County-Cost
Closely Watched.

GRAND RAPIDS, June 18-The
land department of the state auditors
office is employing a crew Of men in
clearing 20 acres on three different
forties about nine miles southeast of
here.
The land is at the eastern end of
Pokegama lake and will be placed on
the market as soon as the 20 acres
are ready for seeding. The work is
in charge of Supt. A. J. Mcclure of
the Northeast Experiment station.
He is keeping close account of the
actual cost Of doing this clearing and
will include his findings in a report
to be circulated throughout the north
ern part Of the state in order that
farmers generally may get an idea
of the. expense involved in this kind
|of work. A power stump puller,
teams and dynamite are being used in
the work and the cost of each noted.
/ Last year one forty was thus re-
claimed by the state. In this instance
it was found that increase in the cost
of the land amounted to $17.5O per
acre, the tract bringing $22.5O when
sold, five dollars being the appraised
price of the land itself without i'm
provements. The tracts being cleared
are so situated that a purchaser may
secure an additional tract of 80 acres
adjoining the cleared portion.
These reclaimed pieces are sold to
the highest bidder under the same
conditions that wild lands are ac-
quired.

COMMUNICATED

They say that one of our candidates
vas defeated in yesterdays primaries
because of his religion. If such is the

twentieth century.
Religion means the best part of a
nan, the bringing into his every day
ife the designs of his creator. Re-
igion means nobleness of soul, and
ourety of intention. Any man or
party of men who vote against a man
because of his religion, are reverting
Jack to pagan days, and are also blot
ing the grand declaration of inde-
)endence, which means that every
nan should be respected and en-
:ouraged to practice religion as his
conscience dictates. Any man who

MAYOR AUSTIN
PLACED.0N PAN
City LabOrers of Chisholm Pc.
titi0n Him to Resign His
Office-Warm Debate.

CHISHOLM, June 18.-T m u t
reigned last night at the meeting of
the village council when Attorney C.
R. Wood presented a petition in be-
half of the laboring men of the town,
asking that Mayor Joseph Austin and
Commissioner j. H. McNiven resign
their positions.
Wood declared that the petition
was drawn as the result of a mass
meeting held a week ago by repre-
sentatives of laborers of various ma
tionalities to protest against the re-
cent reduction in the city wage scale
from $3.50 to So day.
A dozen men spoke on the PROPOSE
ton. The debate waxed warm. An
cry words were exchanged. Mayor
Austin and Commissioner McNiven
explained their stand on the wage
question by stating that the present
condition of the treasury would not
allow more than So a day at pres
ent. They declared that the reduc-
tion was intended only as temporary
in order to give employment to a
greater number of men. Finally they
declared that the petition was pre-
sented only as a political move on the
part of Wood.
A motion to return the petition tt
Wood was finally carried. A report
on wage conditions in other towns
of the range was presented.
A request of Commercial clut
members that the city should pay
$50 month salary to the CONNER
cial club secretary was tabled without
action.
The wage question will be discussed
at next weeks meeting.

EMPRESS OF IRELAND
INQUIRY is STILL ON

QUEBEC, June 18.-The commits
sion investigating the loss of the En-
press of Ireland called as witnesses
today several passengers who were on
the wrecked steamer. George Smart,
the first witness, confirmed Captain
Kendall's assertion that the Empress
was standing still or practically sta
tionary at the time Of the collision
with the Collier Storstad.
c. H. Haight of counsel for owners
of Collier Storstad startled the COM
mission by the statement that word
has reached him that on the night of
the disaster the steering gear of the
Empress was disabled. He has been
so informed, he said, by Quarter
master Golway Of the Empress who
is about to depart for England.
Lord Mersey, chairman of the court
of inquiry, Immediately took a hand
in the proceedings and stated that
Golway would be called as a witness
late this afternoon. Golway was at
the wheel at the time Of the accident
and according to Haights' statement
said the Empress steering gear was
! janamed.

W00DMEN HAVE
TROUGH HOUSE"
Virginia Delegate Tells of Spirit
ed Brawl at Toledo Lodge
Convention.

Skirmishes rivaling even the con-
ficts in Mexico are reported to be in
progress at the Woodmen triennia]
convention now in session at Toledo
Ohio, according to news received by
local members of the order, from the
Virginia delegates present at the big
meeting.
"The attack on San Juan hill had
nothing whatever in the way of real
excitement, as compared to the ses-
sions of the Modern Woodmen fo1
the past two days." writes a delegate
"While short conflicts were expected
by the officers Of the lodge, prior to
the meeting or between sessions, nc
disturbances of serious nature were
looked for during the meetings.
"But the unexpected always hap.
pens. In this case, it resulted in a
free-for-all fight between the insur.
gents and the regulars. This is the
first time the two factions have got.
ten together. and the rivalry may well
he imagined. The furniture in the
large assembly hall was disturbed
several times during one of the meet.
ings, when several Of the more en-.
thusiastic delegates forgot them
selves in their ardor.
With regulars totaling fully 1876, as
compared to SO of the insurgents
qualified to vote on questions, the
Virginia delegate states that the fever
heat of excitement has been reached
'"This probably will be kept W
throughout the meeting of the heat
camp" he says, "and if it does no
abate, the ultimate result cannot b
projected"
The Woodmen order will remain il
session during the remainder of tn
week. The Virginians probably will
return early next week.
