VIRGINIA entertained her Mid- summer Day guests in a manber which was appreciated by all. Even had the weather made to order for their accommodation. THE council gave the impound- ing ordinance its first reading at the Tuesday evening meeting. It will doubtless receive its third reading on July 10th and become "a" candidate for Cowslip Bill's ap- proval the week following. R. W. HITCHCOCK, formerly con- nected with the Bemidji Pioneer, has purchased an interest in the Hibbing Tribune. Mr. Hitchcock is reported as a writer of exceptional ability, and an improvement of the editorial columns of the Tribune is anticipated. EVSN Eveleth and Cloquet pass laws to make the autocratic cow keep heir plac$, the -ordinances' re- ceiving the sanction of the mayors of the respective citiel. Bat it must be remembered that each of these communities have men as mayors. . " JUST a little morsel of intellectual food gives some men the gout un- der the hat. Such men, however; are not cut out to represent a con- stituency in the state senate. IF the man with the muck rake should invade Virginia at the pres- ent time he would 'jump hia job when he struck some of the walks and alleys in the outlying precincts. THE political prophet who "writes things" for the Saturday edition of the Duluth Herald, finds that the Republican senatorial nomination in the forty-ninth "is anybody's fight." He will be safe in telling his readers that P. R, Vail will be the winner, however. NEXT Wednesday is the date for the regular monthly meeting of the Virginia Commercial Club. The members of the organization, which is seemingly a dead one, are surely entitled to meet once more and make provisions for the interment of the corpse, the auditing of the books and the turning of the xash balance to the Fourth df July com- m it tee or other public enterprise. Salaries Are liaised. Among changes in Minnesota post-office salaries, announced on Monday, we note that Virginia is raised from $2,000 to $2,200, Hibbing from $2^00 to $2,400, Chisholm -from $1,900 to $1,700 and Two Harbors from $1,800 to $1,900. He Is Engaging in Risky Business. The following self-explanatory letter was received yesterday by the local manager of the Virginia Lum- ber Co. from a gentleman at Asha- wa, whose name is considerately withheld through regard for his friends, ifJie lias any: ASHAWA, MINX., 6-28, '06. VIRGINIA LUMBER Co.,j Virginia, Minnesota. ^jrentlemen—I have lately located at Ashawa to practice law and lo- cate settlers. That and contests will be my principal business. I am also a school teacher, holding state certificate in S. D., a carpenter, arch- itect, a book-keeper,and have work- ed six months grading lumber. What are the chances for a job." We would advise the gentleman to drop the idea of making home- stead contests one of his leading ac- complishments. It is a bad busi- ness to follow, and is apt to bring one in contact with a stray dose of cold lead. Enough other accom- plishments are noted to insure the gentleman a living, if he really de sires to live. But if he wishes to commit suicide by tempting fate, it's up to him. A Quiet Wedding. At the Presbyterian parsonage on Wednesdav eveningRev. Henry E. Neff performed the ceremony unit- ing Norris H. Dunlap and Miss Mar- garet E.McDermit, both of this city, in the sacred bond of wedlock. The bride recently came to this city from Minneapolis. Our good wishes are extended the happy cou- ple.

VIRGINIA entertained her Midsummer Day guests in a manber which was appreciated by all. Even had the weather made to order for their accommodation.
THE council gave the impounding ordinance its first reading at the Tuesday evening meeting. It will doubtless receive its third reading on July 10th and become "a" candidate for Cowslip Bill's approval the week following.
R. W. HITCHCOCK, formerly connected with the Bemidji Pioneer, has purchased an interest in the Hibbing Tribune. Mr. Hitchcock is reported as a writer of exceptional ability, and an improvement of the editorial columns of the Tribune is anticipated.

" JUST a little morsel of intellectual food gives some men the gout under the hat. Such men, however; are not cut out to represent a constituency in the state senate.
IF the man with the muck rake should invade Virginia at the present time he would 'jump hia job when he struck some of the walks and alleys in the outlying precincts.

He Is Engaging in Risky Business. The following self-explanatory
letter was received yesterday by the local manager of the Virginia Lumber Co. from a gentleman at Asha-wa, whose name is considerately withheld through regard for his friends, ifJie lias any:

at Ashawa to practice law and locate settlers. That and contests will be my principal business. I am also a school teacher, holding state certificate in S. D., a carpenter, architect, a book-keeper,and have worked six months grading lumber. What are the chances for a job."
We would advise the gentleman to drop the idea of making homestead contests one of his leading accomplishments. It is a bad business to follow, and is apt to bring one in contact with a stray dose of cold lead. Enough other accomplishments are noted to insure the gentleman a living, if he really de sires to live. But if he wishes to commit suicide by tempting fate, it's up to him.
