for Funds for Relief of Frisco Suf.
ferers-Benefit Entertainment to be
Given at Metropolitan Soon.

AS was stated in The Evening Times
Saturday night, some forty-eight hours
before the local organs choose to men,
ton it, Mayor Duis appointed a COM
mittee consisting of five prominent
business men to solicit subscriptions
for the relief of the San Francisco
sufferers. This committee has been
meeting with success and up to Mon
day evening had secured something
like $612. The amount was further
increased today by nearly 5000.
THE Deacon" presented in East
Grand Forks on St Patrick's day by
the choir of the Sacred Heart church,
will be given again in a few days at
the opera house in this city, by way
of benefit entertainment. The man.
agement of the theatre has kindly
donated the use of the building free
and the proceeds of the performance
will go to swell the relief fund for
the earthquake and fire sufferers of
San Francisco.
The play was we'll rendered on the
occasion of its first presentation, and
to this will be added number of
pleasing specialties. Grand Forks
people who cannot contribute largely
to the lists which are being circu-
lated, can at least help out with their
mite by attending the entertainment.
The date of presentation of The
Deacon" has not been definitely de-
termined but will be announced in a
day or two.

A HARMONIOUS GATHERING.
The State Central Committee Meeting
As Seen by u Republican.
Special to The Evening Times.

Special to The Evening Times.
Fargo, April 21.-The man who
imagines the politics of North Dakota
are operated from st. Paul hotel
has never witnessed the gathering of
the state central committee for
business. Fargo tonight is full of
enthusiastic republicans. who are here
to consider the good of the party as
an organization, not the good of in
dividuals. The people who are here
are not the officeholders. but the rank
and file of the party-farmers from
the pillow, lawyers from their desks and
business men from their counting
rooms. They are here to plan for the
future of the party, to devise ways by
which the party that has built up the
state may be perpetuated. if you will,
or at least that the administration
may be kept out of the hands of the
party which has never proven it's
ability to govern even itself. Several
of the members of the committee are
here and the only talk is that the state
having made a record unequaled by
that of any state of it's age, the
committee tomorrow will look to the
keeping of this record. The members
of the committee are not at all fac
tional favors.
Inquiry among the members of the
committee who are here develops the
information that there is but little dis
turbance on the political sea, and that
the foment of party disruption is all
froth. The committee is certainly
strongly representative of the party
in the state and if this is true, there
is no reason why North Dakota should
not have the biggest republican ma
jority in its history at the election
next fall

MINOT MAYOR
TALKS
"Dank" c. Greenleaf, Executive Of
Ward County's Metropolis, Dis.
courses Interestingly on the Subject
Nearest His Heart.

One of Ward county's most popular
men, as was evidenced in the recent
municipal election, is Mayor "Dank"
c. Greenleaf Of Minot. Mayor Green
leaf is member of the we'll known
legal firm of Greenleaf & Leighton of
Minot, and is one of the rock-ribbed
democrats of the state. 1t was owing
largely, if not entirely, to his political
creed, that Grand Forks had him as
her guest today, he being here as a
member of the democratic state CEN
trail committee from Ward county, to
attend his committees conference.
Seated in corner of the Dacotah
lobby last evening, Mr.. Greenleaf was
easily accessible, as he always is to
the newspaper boys. He confined his
talk largely to the general conditions
OF his home county and city.
"Minot has grown wonderfully in
the past three years." said he. In the
spring of 1908, our population was
about $500. In June, 1905, the num-
Der had increased to about 1900, and
/ am satisfied that at present we are
not very far from the 5000 mark.
I'm talk few days ago with
Superintendent Stewart of the Minot
division of the Great Northern, he told
me that the company expected to spend
in the neighborhood of $780, 900 in i'm
provements in Minot the coming sum-
mer. This does not mean that the COM
pany is intending to locate shops
there, or anything of the sort, such as
was printed in the papers some weeks
ago, it simply means that the round
house and repair shops now located
there are to be enlarged and improved.
This will also be true of the yards,
which will have to be made of greater
capacity in order to accommodate the
rapidly increasing traffic"
Asked as to what there was new in
regard to the Major Murphy matter,
Mayor Greenleaf was unwilling to be
quoted. He suggested, however, that
when the board of county commits
sioners came to settle the $4,000 bill
of the first Murphy trial which, it will
be remembered, resulted in a disagree
ment, it notified Mr.. MCGEE, prosecut-
ing attorney for Ward county, that no
more bills for assistant counsel would
be allowed. The presumption is that
the prosecution will be dropped. The
second trial was to have taken place
on or about April 5.

A BIG FARMER.
D. w. McCanna Spent Sunday IN City
Talks on Conditions.

D. w. McCanna, the bonanza farmer
from Cando, spent Sunday in the city.
Mr.. McCanna makes his home in Min
neapolis, but will spend the summer
looking after his immense farming in
terests in North Dakota. He stated
to the Evening Times that seeding was
we'll advanced in the part of the state
where his farms are located. A large
acreage is being sown, principally
wheat and flax. The state school and
institution lands, which were purchas-
ed last fall and winter, are being brok-
en- just as fast as possible this spring
and this will be principally seeded to
flax. The land west of Larimore is in
fine condition, with plenty of moisture
to terminate the seed but not so much
as to interfere with planting. Mr.. Nc
Gamma owns three immense farms
one near Cando, which he calls the
home farm, one near Hansboro. and
another at Hampden. He spends his
entire time experimenting these
farms. which are being operated by
tenants.

careful investigation would indicate
that the matter was purely one Of

In fact, it was much more private.
