SCHOOL BOARD
MAY BUY TRACT
ON NORTH SIDE
State Mine Inspector Wildes
Visits Virginia and Looks
Over District.
PRICE OF STATE LAND
SAID TO BE TOO HIGH
Board of Education Is Sparring
For a ReductiOn-May In
woke Legislative Power.

2. A. Wildes, state mine inspector,
spent yesterday afternoon in the city
visiting the various mines in this dis
trict. In company with Captain A. H.
Stephens, Mr.. Wildes made a trip
over some of the lands on the west
side Of the city and, it is understood,
he will recommend that the school
district take up a certain tract lying
north Of the Williams addition to be
used for agricultural purposes. He
expressed the opinion that the school
district can purchase this property at
a much more reasonable price than
land owned by the state on the north
side, and which tract has been in con-
troversy between the board of educa-
tion of the school district and State
Auditor Iverson for some time.
The particular tract wanted by the
school district for agricultural pur-
poses contains about TT acres and ad-
joins the districts property, nearly
opposite Olcott park, on the North
side. Auditor 1verson has set price
of $500 per acre for this land and it
is the contention of the board Of edu-
cation that the figure is away too
high.
The board of education is making
an effort to get a big reduction and
President Eaton says that, if it is
necessary, the board will carry the
matter before the next meeting of the
state legislature.

.ENCINEMEN ARE
AWAITING ORDER

Engineers and firemen in the en-
ploy Of the Duluth, Winnipeg & Pa
cific are anxious over the prospect of
a strike on the line, which may be
called in sympathy with the lines west
Of Chicago where the schedules of the
engineers and firemen are in dispute.
Information received yesterday was
to the effect that the grievance COM
mittees of the Brotherhood Of Loco
motive Engineers and Firemen had
declined to accept the proposed federal
arbitration. This circumstance is re-
garded as indicating that the differ
ences between the Representatives of
the brotherhoods and the railway
managers are farther from settlement
than ever. If strike is called ample
notice will be given and the men do
not generally anticipate that it will
be for some time yet and are still
hoping for an amicable adjustment Of
their differences with the companies.

pitcher who was dismissed by Super

This talk about Cy being out of con-
dition is all wrong. He was dissatis-
fled with Superior and just could not
get going ri ght. He went on the hill
for me against Superior the other day
and let the Red Legs down with tW<
hits. After the first frame, Superior
never got anything that even looked
like a safe blow. Cy is wonderful
pitcher and l believe will prove a
strong factor in our twirling staff.
He has everything and all stickers
look alike to him."
Sundheim had a spell of sickness,
while on the trip but has fully re-
covered now and is in the game today.
He wrenched his back at Winona and
suffered considerable pain which kept
him on the bench for sevesal Ealae';.

By the defeat of Winona yesterday
and through Winnipeg's loss of one
game to Fort William, in a double
header, the Duluth White Sox went to
the head Of the standing column last
night where it stands good chance
to remain indefinitely. Superior is
scheduled for three games there the
first game being played this afternoon.
The Sox should have little difficulty
in Gisposing of the Badgers and will,
undoubtedly, keep right on winning.
Winnipeg is at Fort William for a
three game series. The tailenders are
playing the dethroned leaders to a
fare -you-well, and on present form

After the Winona series, which closes
here Sunday, Duluth will come on
Monday for four games, one of which
will be a double-header,

crease in the number of game ward
ems from seven to ten in ten northern
Minnesota counties was ordered by the
state game and fish commission to-
day as means of preventing vio-
lations of fishing laws in Canadian
border waters. Fred Meyers of BIZ

had heard many complaints that fish
ermen licensed to use pound nets were
using gill nets and fishing in un-
authorized waters.

wardens," said A. j. Rider executive
agent of the board. "They are doing
their duty but there are not enough Of
them. They have districts from Is

The board fixed the number of game
wardens at 81 for the year beginning
August 1, with eight more who will
serve for only the month of August
Most of those dropped Nov. 1 because
Of shortage Of funds will be reinstated
The board members said the wardens
who worked in June and July this year
will receive no pay as the boards

''We shall be very happy to allow

Domonico Popi shook his head, he
suffered hot and cold flashes and his
embarrassment was pitiful to be-
hold, but his Hagrant memory had
served him a trick which he could not
for the time overcome.

BUSINESS BLOCK

The Stein & O'Rourke block, which
comprises three buildings at the cor
ner of Chestnut street and Mesaba
avenue, including the stores of the
Virginia Store company, M. Feldman
& Co., Lauger Piano company and the
barber shop of w. R. Byrne, has been
undergoing repairs which When CON-
pleted will make that block one Of the
neatest, in appearance, of any in the
city. Just at present carpenters are
at work remodeling the fronts of the
building occupied by the M. Feldman
& Co: store, the Lauger Piano Co.,
and the Byrne Barber shop. Modern
fronts are being put in to conform
with the improvements recently put in
in the building occupied by the Vir-
ginia Store company.
Recently the Virginia Store COM
pany made some decided changes in
the interior of it's store. What was
formerly the hardware branch, on the
corner at Chestnut street and Mesaba
avenue, is now the grocery depart
ment and the hardware department
has been moved to the space formerly
occupied by the grocery department..
This makes more desirable location
for the grocery department and gives
the proprietors a better opportunity
to display the goods which the COM
pany handles.
The Virginia Store company has
long been recognized as one of the
leading grocery, hardware and furni-
ture stores Of the range, and the
change recently made in it's depart
ments has made it one of the most
convenient as we'll as one of the best
arranged stores in the city. Manager
N. J. Smith is to be congratulated up
on the new arrangements, which show
that he is not only hustler for busi-
ness but has an eye to making the
store attractive to the large patron
age which this firm has enjoyed since
engaging in business here number
of years ago.
