that he had not come to deliver the
address Of welcome, as has been re-
ported In the morning papers of the
city, but had come merely to preside
in place of Potentate Baldwin.
In introducing Mayor Lowell. whom
he said would deliver the address of
welcome to his old friend the imperial
potentate, he said he himself could
not hope to cope with such great ora
tors as John Peter Hardy, william
Jennings Bryan, Chauncey Depew or
any Of that bunch so would leave the
well chosen remarks to be made by
the mayor and the chief Shriner him.
SELF"
Mayor Lowell at His Best.
Never has Mayor Lowell been heard
to better advantage that last evening
when he officially welcomed home the
distinguished citizen who has risen to
such prominent place in one Of the
largest orders in the world. His re-
marks were timely and we'll taken, con-
tanning very great lesson to the pub
lie of Fargo and to the citizens of
North Dakota as well.
The mayor duly emphasized his APP
probation of being accorded the privi-
lege himself of officially welcoming Mr..
Treat back home, and the joy and
pride the city Of Fargo felt in knowing
that such an important man in the
world claimed this city as his home
He recognized the great benefit the
city would derive from the election of
Mr.. Treat to this great office and said
that nothing could do more to adver-
tise Fargo than his occupancy Of the
post Of imperial potentate. He decried
the knockers and hoped there would be
more boosters, and stated that all
Shriners could not help but be boost
ers and advertisers. And in touching
upon this point, he recalled the recent
instance In Seattle where a great ham
mer had been hauled through the
streets OF that metropolis and burned
In one Of the public squares and then
its ashes were buried. He thought the
city of Fargo could take an excellent
lesson from this and that 1t was now
on a greater footing and could get an
excellent start during the coming year,
while Mr.. Treat occupied the greatest
office in the order he representa-.
This temple has been a greater adj
vertising medium to the city of Fargo
and to the state Of North Dakota than
anything else" he said in conclusion.
Il believe there is lesson to be learn
ed from the elevation of Mr.. Treat to
to the Office of imperial potentate OF
North America in that he would never
have reached this Office had there been
hammerers and knockers In this or
ganlzation.
Il am sure that the Office OF Inn

Miss Blakeslee sang The Years at the
Spring, by Mrs. Beach. The singer
possesses voice of enjoyable smooth
ness and coupled with a delightful
personality she has q temperamental
intelligence of a high order which at
once takes strong hold upon the
listener. The accomplishments were
played by Miss Clara Pollock and were
all that they should be. Miss Blakeslee
and Miss Pollock were made the re-
cipients of beautiful bouquets, at the
hands OF MIR. Sarles, at the close of
the first song, a recognition which was
heartily approved by those In the

died there Saturday was the man who
located and Surveyed Fargo. The FOR
um published dispatch on Saturday,
making brief mention Of the death of
Colonel Greene
The story in The st. Louis Post Dis
patch is as follows:
Col. w. C. Greene, copper magnate
and cattle king OF Cananea, Mexico.
died today of acute pneumonia. His
wife and children were at his bedside.
Greene was hurt in a runaway a few
days ago at Cananea. Several OF his
ribs were broken. 1t is believed pneu-
monia resulted from his injuries.
Colonel Greene rose from a cow
puncher to a multimilIionaire and COP
per king, who lost everything and in
later years recouped to some extent his
losses. His ups and downs have at
tracted the attention OF two countries.
Colonel Greene led an active life,
years OF which were spent In the open,
all sorts OF weather. When he had
accumulated a fortune of something
like $2s,000,00O be lived in New York.
He stopped at the most fashionable
hotel, ate rich foods and drank cham
payne. He lost his fortune and went
back to the bottom.
Colonel Greene was the discoverer
OF the king Of copper mines, the Cam
anea. He found backing 10 New York,
and in 1899 the Greene Consolidated
Copper Co. was born. In four years
1t became one Of the greatest copper
producers Of the world, and was valued
in the open market as high as $50, 900, -i
600. When Greene became over-ex-
tended in other Mexican ventures, the
Cole Ryan organization wrested its
control from Greene, and capitalized
1t at $60,000,Oo0 in the 1906 copper
boom
Greene also floated the Greene Cold
Silver Co., which was capitalized at
$4,000, 600; the Greene Consolidated
Gold Co., with capitalization of S.
100000; the Sierra Madre Land e.
Lumber Co, with a capitalization of
SIS, 600, 900, and the Guayrapita Copper
Co., capitalized at $5,000000
Drifts Down to Mexico.
Greene was born in New York state,
In Chippewagua, Aug. 26, 1851. At the
age of is he left school, went to New
York City, and entered wholesale tea
house, where he remained three years.
He next assisted in surveying the land
on which Fargo, N. D., now stands. He
next engaged in the cattle and then
the mining business, finally drifting
down to Sonora, Mex.
Colonel Greene was gun fighter of
the old school. He was young In the
days when the man who could ride
hardest, so longest without water and
shoot quickest was the man who sgot
the goods" in the great southwest.

MORE DOUBLE-TRACKING.

The Southern Railway Company will
secure an addition Of practically 10
miles to the double track on its main
Ire between Washington and Atlanta
b. the construction Of second track
Just authorized south OF Franklin juno
ton, Va. The new track will be con-
nected with the second track already
laid 10 Whittle, which has never been
us d. When the new stretch is COM
pleted the 5 miles OF single track be-
tween Franklin Junction and Sycamore
will be operated as gantlet under alb
solute block, thus giving all the protec-
tive features of double track, as no
train will be permitted to enter either
end OF the gantlet while another is onit.
The 2S-mile stretch of double track
extending from Montyiew to Sycamore
will be increased to fiity-mile stretch
by this addition and the completion q
the Il miles from Montview to Monroe
through Lynchburg, which is just &C!
ing into service.
The completion OF the Lynchbu1e
improvement gives the Southern 29s
miles OF double track out OF the dis
lance Of 64S miles between Washington
and Atlanta, and the improvement be
tween Franklin junction and White
will bring the total to 249 miles.

THE TRUST CORPORATION.

There are no new Developments to-
day in the matter Of the Virginia Safe
Deposit and Trust Corporation. The
receivers. examiners and clerks are as
busy as bees going over the books and
accounts Of tie corporation III order to
make 4 statement as soon as possible
and also presumably TO be prepared to
answer such questions as may be put
to them on Thursday when the special
grand jury, summoned for this purpose,
will begin an investigation OF the az
fairs OF the corporation, and the cause
of the closing OF its doors. There were
but few callers at the bank today the
depositors apparently resting their case
till the grand jury acts or till az official
statement is made by the receivers.
The prevailing idea now seems 10 be
that the corporation was one-man az
fairs, conducted by one man whose
transactions were little known of. by
the directors or employees Of the con-
Germ.
