SOME GOOD.SIZED DEALS MADE
Business Gets Back on Old Basis OF
Activity in WhOIesale Dis
trict and Real Estate
Circles,

Travelling men Of Omaha will secure the
largest business in the history Of Omaha
wholesale merchandising for delivery next
spring, according to almost a score OF the
dealers, whose greatest worry will be to
secure the goods, but who have determined
to meet the demands regardless OF effort
and expense.
Increases In spring orders run from 20 to
100 per cent, and smaller dealers are among
those who are ordering the heaviest and
those whose credit has been limited are
offering 70 make a better showing or pay
cash and take advantage of discounts on
delivery.
Among the wholesale dry goods, hat and
cap, and millinery houses the orders are
especially heavy The firms which vouch
for big increases are NJ. E. Smith Il Co..
wholesale dry goods and extensive manu-
facturers Of clothing; Byrne & Hammer
Dry Goods company. which has recently
established a large branch house at Salt
Lake City; spiesberger & Sons, wholesale
millinery; Swenson Bros. Dry Goods COM
pany, and the Gate City Hat company.
Factory Help is Scarce.
I'VE will have a hard time to get the
goods we manufacture made for the spring
trade" said a member of the firm of NJ
e. Smith & Co "Our shirt factory is not
running full force because we cannot get
the help. We have offered every induce
ment to secure girls and men to operate
our machines and have not enough by a
third. II other manufacturers are in the
same position we are in It will be hard
to fill the increased orders which are COM
ing in. We order a gross or fifty gross Of
an article and we set one-fifth to one-half
of the order but we hope to ship from
Omaha next spring every order placed and
now being secured for goods"
U. Spiesberger general manager OF the
big millinery store. said ''The fall season
OF course is over, but we are having many
recorders. while the orders being placed for
spring are clear beyond expectation. The
sale of millinery specialties is larger than
ever before. There Is an insistent demand
for good goods and tine tendency is toward
better millinery for spring.
President Drtshaua OF the Gate City Hat
company is authority for the statement
that the hat business simply knows no
bounds and that the orders for spring are
much larger than last year.
Other lines are selling at the same rate,
from crockery to rubber shoes. The gro
Gerry trade, OF course. reports a good steady
business at all seasons.

CANNON SELECTS COMMITTEES
Speaker of House VIII Cause Little
Delay at OpeninE of
Congress.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Speaker Can
non is dividing his time these days be-
tween his dentist and the members OF the
house who are seeking committee assign
ments. The afternoons are given to the
members, but while he listens carefully
to all of them, he has not so far made
any promises. The speaker is hopeful
Of completing his assignments before the
Christmas holidays.
The Fifty ninth congress had been in
session only seven days when the speak
er's announcement was made, the time
being the briefest ever taken by a
speaker in nlling the committees except
in the Forty-third congress, when only
four days were required. In the Fifty
eighth congress twenty-six days we're re-
qulred, but that congress convened early
in November, leaving the speaker less
time for preparation in advance OF the
meeting than he had in 1906 and will have
this year. Speaker Henderson took only
eight days to form the committees for the
Fifty-seventh congress. The longest
time taken in recent years for this was
81 days, which Speaker Reed allowed to
elapse before naming the committees for
the Fifty-hfth congress, the delay being
due to the tariff fight of 1897. That con-
gress met on March 15 and The commit
tees were not organized until the latter
part of the summer. There were several
efforts on the part OF democrats and so
ciallsts to force earlier action, but the
speaker held his ground and refused to
make his selections until ready to do go.
In the Forty-second congress Speaker
Blaine consumed over nine months time
after the congress convened in selecting
his committeeman and there was almost

ROYAL NEIGHB0R PLAY GOOD
Local Talent Comedy Drama Given
Last Evening was Witnessed by
Large and Appreciative
Audience.

There is an abundance of home tai
ent in Grand Forks, and some of the
best of it was found in the play given
by the Royal Neighbors and the Modern
Woodmen in Odd Fellows hall, Thurs
day night "The. Forged Certificate
was the name of the play, it being a
comedy drama of very high type.
The story is an interesting one, and
the various parts were well worked
out.
George w. James took the role of
Old Nathan Wayne, Virginian plant
er. Mr.. James did some good work
in this part, handling himself in good
style on the stage.
Nat J. Curtis, the villain of the play,
did his work so good that several
times the audience were about in the
Kissing mood (which is about the high
est mark Of appreciation any audience
can snow to the villain.
Albert A. Davis, in the part of the
dude, J. Allen Devere was also good.
Mr.. Davis's "baw-jove" and don't
cher-know" never failed to bring the
house down, and in the more serious
lines he was also very good.
North Carolina Pete, with a black
skin and white heart" was the part
played by Neil Keleher. "Pete" had
habit of being around just when want

audience by his sayings and his quaint
manner in doing things The part was

FAIR BOARD STANDS PAT"
Will Hold Fair on Dates Chosen Dc.
spite Fargo's Belligerent
Attitude.

There has been no metamorphism in
the stand taken by the directors of the
State Fair regarding the dates of the
fair to be held in this city during the
coming summer.
President Hunter of the State Fair
board stated this morning that he had
received an answer from George Nc
Farland of Valley City relative to the
proposition of having the dates of the
Benson county fair changed. Mr. Nc
Fafland explains that the Benson fair is
in a racing circuit and that changing
the Valley City dates will necessitate
going over the entire schedule once
more. However if the change is i'm
perative he may call another meeting
of the Benson directors and see what
can be done about the matter.
In the meantime the State Fair board
in this city is figuratively speaking
resting on its oars" The board takes
the stand that the State fair should be
given the preference as to dates this
year-as in the past and that if Fargo
is SO DESTROYS of cutting in and inJur-
ing the prospects she can do so, bu:
under these conditions there is bound
to be a reaction against the city up
the Red.
