PLAN NEW BUILDING.
Not Enough Space for Exhibitors mt
the Fargo State Fair.

Fargo. April 27.-So great has been
the demand for space at the fair
grounds in this city that the state fair
management has been obliged to take
steps to erect another exhibit build
ing. A plan by which it is proposed
to secure the necessary funds to erect
the building is most feasible and the
fair management is meeting with great
success in interesting business men
and manufacturers, to whose inter-
ests the building will be exclusively
devoted.
The building will be Identical with
the exhibit building for the building of
which the contract has already been
let. 1t will be two stories and will be
equipped with a porch. In fact the
two exhibit buildings might we'll be
called twins when they are completed.
The plan for the securing of funds
for the buildings is to sell the floor
space for exhibition purposes for Il
term of years in advance The pay
ments will be arranged to suit the ex-
hibitOr and no inconvenience will be
held.
President Scott of the State Fair as
sociation has interviewed a number of
local business men and so great has
been his success in selling space that
there is a question of. whether any
space will be left to sell to outside
exhibitors.

SAILS WELL, REPORTED.

Ns-"O~.s~A
San Francisco. April 27.-"All is
WELL were the words that went down
the line at police headquarters when
the uniformed officers had finished
their long night vigil through the
burned districts and reported off duty
to their commanding captains this
morning. 1t was a night of perfect
peace. No looters worked in the open,
If at all; the challenge of every guard
brought pedestrians to a halt, and
after giving satisfactory answers to
all questions of the challengers they
were allowed to go their way In peace.
Although the order from military
headquarters permitting householders
to maintain lights until 10 o'clock p. m.
went into effect Monday night, it was
not generally understood by the
guards and. on Monday night there
was considerable confusion on this ac-
count Last night, however, the por-
tion of the city that was undamaged
was aglow with glimmering candles
and coal oil lamps until TAPS" sound
ed and the men on patrol duty were
not required to give any warnings.
The curtain fell at 10 o'clock sharp
and the city was in darkness. Few
risked travel after that hour. but those
who did were not molested.
From the reports of officers filed
this morning." said Chief of Police
Dinan, there is every indication that
San Francisco has settled down to al
most normal condition. Our officers
are everywhere as usual, but no crimes
have been reported for the past IL
hours and petty thievery has not even
kept the police department busy. The
one perpleXing problem that we have
now to contend with is the prevention
OF unequal distribution of food. Those
OF the worst element of the city, we
find. are living better than they ever
did in their lives while the unfortu-
nate who have never been accustomed
to ask for aid are actually suffering.
We are doing all in our power to re-
lieve this condition and hope in a few
days, to get rid of those who are TAX
ing everything in sight"
Retail trade was resumed this morn
ing with rush in the unburned sec
tions of the city. Grocery stores,
butcher shops, delicacy establish
ments. and the like, were doing a
thriving business at an early hour On
nearly every block on Fillmore street,
from McAlleSter as far as California
street, business houses were running
full force
Many of the dealers complain that
people who are able to pay for the
necessities of life are depending upon
the commissaries for their living. All
those in a position to pay for staple
articles are requested to patronize the
stores, so that the unfortunate refu-
gees may have chance to obtain food
at the commissary stations
