1t is long time since the Fargo
operahouse management has presented
a better dramatic Offering than The
Deep Purple, last evening. Although
the general theme of the piece sayors
considerably Of the authors other
story of criminal life, Alias Jimmy
Valentine. which was seen here re-
Gently, the plot differs slightly and is
made highly interesting by numerous
incidents and insights into the lives
OF the New York demimonde, which
were not presented in the other An
exceptional cast, including Miss Suth-
erland and Mr.. billiard, two Of the
est known American players, was Sc
lected for the production. In every
instance through the entire action OF
the piece the various characters SEEM
ed to have been expressly drawn for
the personnel of this production. Anne
Sutherland as Mrs. Kate FaIlon was
exceptionally clever. Her wonderful
facial expression, for which she is so
famous, amounts almost to a technique
and her part in The Deep Purple gives
ample opportunity for the exhibition
of this marvellous talent. Harry Hill
lard was most acceptable as the young
New Yorker just returning from the
rougher experiences OF western life.
and the work Of Frank j. Currie as
Pop Clark, Lyster Chambers as Harry
Leland, the leaders OF the gang Of
rogues, was excellent. Virginia phil
ley as Christine, the maid, did one of
the best bits of character work in the
piece. Madeline Louis was good as
the innocent little girl who was lured
away from her home into the meshes
of a set of rascals.

man and said he was one Of the most
valuable assets of business
Burke Told of Trip.
Governor Burke was the next speaker
and told OF his recent trip with the
western governors and their invasion
of the east. He briefly accounted for
the first meeting Of the western gov
ernors, due to the poor conservation
methods practiced in 1907, and then he
went on to praise the state OF North
Dakota.
The governor declared North Dakota
the greatest agricultural state in the
union and said that it received the
best advertising it had ever had on
the recent eastern trip. He said ne
had returned to North Dakota more
satisfied with his home state than ever
before in his life and he emphatically
declared that the east must develop
the west. ~
Governor vessey and had the ad-
vantage over our fellow governors on
that trip" he declared. ~The others
had to tell the people they needed
eastern money in their states to assist
in the great irrigation problems. The
governor of South Dakota and myself
could truthfulIy tell them we didn't
have to irrigate in our states and it
didn't require capital for a farmer to
come here and make start"
Some Amusing Incidents.
The governor then related some
amusing incidents Of the trip which
were interesting to all North Dako-
tans. One in particular was about the
picture Of former Gov. Andrew Burke
of North Dakota under which Gov.
John Burke's name was printed. He
also spoke of the natural resources of
the state and the possibility of briquet-
ing and concluded with a remark about
the newspapers and the financial con-
ditions Of North Dakota. He said the
state was not bankrupt and was never
in more prosperous condition than at
the present time.
Following the talk of Governor
Sarles, who as previously stated, came
in late, there were number of local
speakers heard. Among them were
County Auditor Addison Leech, who
stated that Cass county was never in
a more prosperous condition than at
the present time The list of local
speakers also included John M. Bath
rick, Walter w. Smith, Robert Glen
denning, Max Stern and James Nc
Guigan, ali Of whom made rafting
good talks that were to the point and
telling in their effect.
The big banquet was a huge sue
cess and one that will always be re-
membered by those who attended. The
5obbers and credit men are to be
highly complimented over the success
of their efforts last night and for
their numerous achievements in bus

In one of the most exciting basket

the other members of the team played
great games and deserve as much
credit for winning.

it will probably continue to be read for

The largest gathering OF Christmas
week in Fargo was the big jobber and
credit mems banquet last night at
Prizes hall. II was an event that will
long be remembered, as three Of the
most prominent men in the northwest
today took active part in the proceed
ings Of the evening, which followed
the repast. Gov. John Burke Of North
Dakota was heard at some length In
speech that brought forth much APP
plause. Former Gov e. Y. Sarles
made one Of his well-known witty
speeches that proved the hit of the
evening, and John Frank Treat, the
most important shriner in the world,
acted as POSTMASTER of the occasion.
Governor SarIes was on the pro-
gramme to talk on the subject OF
Finance, but he was detained owing TO
a belated train and could not arrive
until late in the evening after the re-
marks Of Governor Burke, though his
speech was to have preceded that Of
his successor.
sarIes Happy in Speech.
Though quite brief, due to the late
ness Of the hour, Governor Sarles was
quite happy in his little speech. AS
a former governor of North Dakota.
he had accompanied the western gov
errors on their recent trip through the
eastern states, and told a little Of the
trip himself and commented on how
much good had been done by the west
ern executives In advertising this great
country. He said he felt that home
seekers would turn their eyes north
westward hereafter rather than toward
the southwest, which was the thing
the western governors went after. On
his trip with the governors Governor
Sarles left the train at Rochester for
day and accompanied the Frank
Treat special TO several points where
the imperial potentate was to be enter
tanned, and enjoyed few hours with
him on the latter's trip before rejoin-
ing the governors again at Albany.
The address of welcome was deliv-
cred by Rev. j. M. walters of the
First Methodist church. which was
quite befttting and suitable to the oc-
casion.
King Made Good Talk.
one of the most successful short
talks of the evening was the speech of
W. W. King, secretary OF the State Re-
tail Merchants association. Mr.. King
said there was too much credit COR
the good of the merchants and that
it was time to call a halt. He declared
the credit men had been too lenient
with their patrons and advised lines of
credit being drawn more closely, He
added much praise for the travelling
