Ten Years Ago
Friday, March "a, 1881.

Because Ely would not play ball
with Virginia on the county division
proposition, the politicians of the towns
have served notice on us by resolutions
that they would spike our PROPOSE
ton for strictly Vermilion range rep
resentative." Too bad! We are not
disappointed. We got just what we al
ways got. The bill for representative
was introduced long before the county,
division measure saw the light of day
Our representatives introduced it and
we wish to thank Messrs McGhee and
Anderson for their good faith in in
PRODUCING the measure and sticking
with it to the end We knew right
along that all we would get out of the
county division was a nice big and
chance to vote for Virginia for the
county seat. This we were prepared
to do in case of show down and the
county was divided. Now that Vir-
ginia has cut us off their visiting list
it will be fine idea to transfer our
affections to Eveleth or Hibbing in
case division comes to pass. We still
maintain however that the logical
place for the county seat is Tower,
as being nearly in the center of the
new county. We on the Vermilion will
probably live through it on our own
as we have lived through the same
condition in the past few years and
before the proponents of division were
out of their diaper stage. Initials on
the resolutions, probably placed there
by the stenographer in mistake, gives
a clue to the real resolvers and shows
that they were not the work of organ
izations as the resolutions passed tried
to make us believe.
