Day Of Fasting and Prayer.
Friday next, the 21st, inst, has
been set apart by the president OF the
Confederacy as day Of fasting, hu-
initiation and prayer. I'm which he
invites the entire people to repair to
their respective places Of worship and
unite in supplication for the favor and
protection of God, who has hitherto
conducted US safely through all our
dangers" It Is meet, says Mr.. Davis,
that when trials and reverses befali
us, we should take home to our hearts
and consciences the lessons which they
teach and profit by the self examina-
ton for which they prepare u.s." we
hope the call will be universally re-
sponded to and that our people will
strictly unite on the occasion. Let us
devote one day to the heartfelt In
vocation for his blessing without
which there is no success-let US pray
for our wounded soldiers and suffer-
ing country, and he will nerve our
arms when the conflict comes, and un-
der his providence the blessings OF
security and peace may yet be ours.
Let the day and the occasion be
strictly observed.
We have since been informed by the
Rev. Mr.. Wood that there will be d.
vine services in the several churches
ofstthis town, on Friday. next.

TOWER CLUB
DOING THINGS
Commercial Organization of Yer.
million Range Village Active
for Its Town.

G. C. Carlson, secretary of the
Tower Commercial club, was Vir-
ginia visitor yesterday. Mr.. Carlson
says interest in the activities Of the
club is growing at Tower and that it
has been able to accomplish good
many things for the place where the
Ranges started to grow.
Indications are that the coming sum-
mer will witness much development
at various points of beautiful Lake
Vermilion, where summer homes will
be built by people from all sections of
the country. Tower people are doing
everything they can to make it more
attractive to outsiders and their ef-
forts are already bearing fruit. 1t is
already indicated that the summer
colony at various points along Lake
Vermilion will be the largest ever.
The Tower Commercial club is in.
teresting itself in having the various
channels marked with buoys and night
lights in the interest of safe naviga'
tion and for the convenience Of the
people who spend the summer there

LONDON, March 18.-Unofacial re-
ports indicate that the relations be-
tween Italy and Austria are becoming
more unsettled. It is reported that
Germans at the Italian Rivera re-
sorts have been ordered to leave the
country Immediately.
The status Of the negotiations be-
tween the italian government and the
Princes Won Buelow on behalf Of Ger
many and Austria, are now doubtful.
The assertion is made that Emperor
Joseph has virtually broken them off.
Fleets Busy At Dardanelles.
The operations of the allied fleets
against the Dardanelles are being
carried on slowly and carefully. A
French officer is quoted as saying that
another month may be devoted in an
effort to silence the Turkish fortifica-
tions.
The official British account Of the
recent fighting at Neuve Chappelle
gives an idea Of the ferocity Of the At
tack. The town was laid in ruins. No
estimate Is given Of the British losses,
but it is said that in two sections near
the town $500 German bodies were
counted. The British. observer praises
the heroic resistance Of the outnum-
bered Germans.
A Vienna dispatch concerning
Przemysl disagrees with the Petro-
grad message Of yesterday to the ef-
feet that the Galician fortress would
fall soon. It declares that the Rus
sian attacks are only at rare intervals
and that the Austrian defenders have
little to do.

WOULD FARM ON
LARGER SCALE

w. Heigel of Saskatoon, Sask., who
is managing the 8-section farm for
the Canadian Farming Syndicate with
headquarters in Virginia, is trans
acting business at Cusson today. He
is on the Range with the object of in
teresting the stockholders of the COM
pany in plan for farming the land
more extensively. During the past
two years, since the farm has been in
operation, only 200 acres Of the eight
sections have been under cultivation
and consequently the farm has not
paid dividends.
A meeting of the stockholders was
called for Tuesday night of this week
but the attendance was so small that
no action was taken. 1t is probable
that another meeting will be held
soon.

MISTAKE UNFAIR
TO N0RTHSlDER

It is bad enough when one is an
enthusiastic poultry fancier like Mike
Lanovich, Of the Northside, to have
a thief come in the night and lift two
fat turkeys and two fat chickens. But
it is infinitely worse after that to
read in the newspapers that you have
been arrested and fined for chicken
stealing. This is what happened to
Mike Lanovich. The Enterprise was
the medium. It bows it's head in
shame. Mike Lanovich, never stole
a chicken in his life. It was he who
had two fine fat turkeys and two
chickens stolen. It was he who in
voked the aid of the courts to right
this grievous wrong and there found
surcease of sorrow. The man who
was fined for stealing the chickens was
Nick Rosnitch. Mike Lanovich does
not steal anything. The Enterprise
did him a grave injustice. It is sim
cerey sorry. It's mistake resulted from
misinformation.

CONTRACTORS
MAKEPR0TESTS

Two different logging contractors
from points along the line Of the Can
adian Northern, to the north Of Vir-
ginia, are seeking legal counsel in
Virginia today and contemplate bring
ing actions against the company op-
Grating the international Falls paper
mills. They allege that they have
been short measured on pulpwood
shipped from their camps to the mill.
The scales taken in the woods and
at the landings and those given at the
mill vary widely. The scaiers at the
paper mills declare the scales that
they give from the cars are accurate
and may be smaller than that taken in
the woods as the pulpwood shakes and
settles compactly in transit on the
cars. Actions may be filed against
the paper naill concern Tomorrow.

SHOW WINDOW IS
MUCH ADMIRED

One of the handsomest show win
dows recently displayed by any store
in Virginia is that now in place at the
Chestnut street store of the Minnesota
Dry Goods company. It is a showing
Of the new things for women's wear in
the spring styles and in color effect,
the richness Of the garments displayed
and general arrangement is combined
to make one Of the prettiest effects
ever seen in a window display in a
Virginia store. Hundreds viewed and
admired the window yesterday, last
evening and today. The decorations
were done by Andrew Decker, who has
been with the store for some time, as
part Of the advertising campaign Of
the sale the Minnesota is conducting.

town a more desirable place in which
to live.

Foreign Colony In Virginia Fear
Visits Of Blind Pig
Spoilers.

The foreign colony Of Virginia's s
Northside, where according to such
good authorities as Alderman E. F.
Murray the blind pig fourishes in the
midst Of its kind, is in a voluntary
state Of seige. It keeps its doors Sc
curely locked, the curtains of its win-
dows drawn and it is in such fear Of
detectives and spoilers that the mail
carriers on their regular beats are ad-
mitted reluctantly. Every man is
afraid of his neighbor.
Yesterday a messenger. from the
local postofice attempted to deliver a
special delivery letter in that section
of the city. He was required to go
to several boarding houses: He was
reluctantly admitted, viewed with
alarm and found it difficult to get an
swers to the most innocent questions.
Conditions Improved.
Alderman Murray said this morning
that conditions on the Northside have
recently been much improved. owe

not as openly or hagrantly conducted
as before. l believe my campaign has
had wholesome effect and l am sat-
isfed," he said. Murray declined to
state what his action would be in the
future, further than to say that he
would not tolerate indiscriminate and
disorderly drinking in that section as
long as he owned property on the
Northside.

W00DSMAN WILL
JOIN THE ARMY

George Deslongchamp, woodsman,
who during all the winter has been
employed in the logging camps to the
north of this city, is going to be a
soldier. He reached that decision this
morning, while he was standing before
the poster display board of Corporal
McCoskey, where several soldiers
wearing fetching uniforms are shown
in graceful poses. Anyhow he likes
life of adventure, he says and he
thinks the army is as good place
for an able-bodied young man as any,
where as it offers opportunities for
Improvement not elsewhere to be
found. Deslongchamps goes to Min
neapolis tomorrow to take his final
assignment to service.

BIG PERSIAN IS
DISAPPOINTED IN
fine AMBITION

Tom Shaw, Hibbing Persian wrest-
Ter, who nourishes the fine ambition
Of being given an opportunity to pin
the shoulders of Waino Ketonen, the
Finnish grappler, to the mat in con-
test anywhere on the Iron Ranges,
is sorely disappointed because his
match with Ketonen, originally ar
ranged for last night, was called of.
It is impossible to explain to him. that
an engagement last night would have
conficted with the dance Of the base
ball association, that tonight St.
Patrick's day entertainment would be
a rival attraction, and that tomorrow
night the local lodge Of Moose plans
to give one Of the biggest smokers Of
the season at which there will be a
tango.
All this is Greek to the stalwart one
from Hibbing. He has deep seated
conviction that Ketonen is afraid to
meet him. "This man Ketonen is
afraid" said Shaw last night. "He
don't want to wrestle with me. I do
not lay down like Mike Yokel. He
cannot beat me. I will make 100
pounds for him in Virginia on Satur-
day night, April 8, divide 20 per cent
of the gate receipts with him 40 per
cent to the winner and 80 per cent to
the loser. The other 80 per cent would

CITY MAY VOTE
ON COMMISSION
FORM NEXT JUNE
Five Commissioner Plan of Gov
ernment, Similar to That In
Duluth, Has Been Practically
Decided Upon for Recommend
alton by Charter Committe.
Expected New Plan Will Be for
Call of Special Election by the
First of May; General Plan of
Duluth's Present Government
Is Being Followed.

The voters of the city of Virginia
will undoubtedly have an opportunity
early in June to decide whether or not
they desire to change from the present
to the commission form of government
The completed plan of government to
be submitted to the charter commits
sion by its special committee about the
first of May, according to the present
rate of progress. The commission
can then call special election within
80 days. Its disposition is to put the
matter up to the people as soon as pos.
sible.
Committee Met Last Night.
The special committee Of the charter
commission, the Messrs. Lamont,
Edward C. A. Johnson, c. C. Butler,
Andrew Grande and Frank Hughes
had meeting last evening with Judge
r. J. Montague, city attorney for the
commission. 1t virtually decided that
it will recommend to the charter COM
mission the five commission plan
similar to that in force in the city of
Duluth. The three commissioner plan
and the city manager idea have been
rejected by the committee as imprac-
ticable for Virginia.
1t was also practically decided that
the new plan Of government for Vir-
ginia along general lines will follow
the Duluth plan.
Sentiment Generally Favorable.
Surface sentiment over the city
seems to be generally favorable to q
change from the present to the COM
mission form Of government. The
latter has the support Of many bust
ness men and several members of the
city council and is endorsed by Mayor
Boylan.
1t is planned from this time on to
give more or less publicity to the
various phases of the proposed new
city organization.
