 Now. about the cash contributions. Five lists were in circulation. the committees being appointed by the board of trade. There were two men with each list. except that of Emory Rays who started late and alone. of his own volition. The couples were as follows: Dwight B. Heard and w. { H. Ward; H. I. Latham and Alex. i Rheinstein; L.. Melczer and H. J. Mo ! CIung: Selim Nicholson and J. w. 1 Doris: Emory Rays Quite a number { left their contributions at The Repub i, lican office and they were during the ! day turned over to MT. Heard and en- tered on his list. Every committee came back enthusiastic in the evening 1 and bursting with pride for Phoenix | and Phoenix people. Never was there | such unanimous desire on the part ] of everybody to do ais part. People ! the committees on the street ! and insisted that their names go down for all they could afford. In some places where the committees called and found the people out the people later hunted up the committees. Not only business men, but their employees. came forward. Mechanics laboring men. newsboys and practically every body who was seen did something. Even one crippled man hobbled up to a passing committee and rendered a dollar. Probably the biggest dollar that was added to the list was by an elderly lady who brought it to the board of trade She said she had a fellow feeling for the suffering San Franciscans. for in 1868 she lived there and was herself an earthquake suf- ferer When asked to what name it should be credited she replied Just put it down the widows mite In this connection it should be explained that in the list that follows there are several cash entries. These are the aggregate of numerous small Contri- buttons. with which no names were accompanying. Messrs. Ward and Heard circulated their paper from II a. m. to F and from to , D. m., and secured cash contributions of s1,46150 md merchandise contributions of Hurley, Dawes and Yaple amounting o $15O. Pretty good for four hours work The other committees secured he rest that makes the total below.
 Last night there were several oth- ITS offered to contribute to this office md were told to bring their money in O the board of trade on Monday. $. II ". Higley telephoned that he had to cave town. but would leave $20 at the louse for any responsible committee nan who came after it.
 All this was done in an incredibly , hort time. All business was suspend d long enough at least to help swell he list. Even the district court was invaded by Colonel Johnstone. J. w. l Doris and Selim Nicholson. in the midst nf cdG NK-hi T rOught to a standstiII long enough to I How the court to contribute. T
