WASACHARMING EVENT
Music Lovers Had Treat Last Even
ing at the Third in Series Of
Graduation RecitaIs.

What proved to be a most charming
musical event took place last night at
Stones auditorium where the third in
the series of graduation recitals of
the Fargo College Conservatory of
Music was given. 1t was Miss Lenora
Schwarz, one of F'argo's well known
young ladies who made her debut as
concert pianist in a most pleasing pro-
gramme which she played in a very
satisfactory manner.
Miss Schwarz displays great deal
of temperament and this together with
a sympathetic touch and a brilliant
technic leads one to expect great things
from the future of her career. If any
numbers Of her rendition last night
are to be singled out there should be
mentioned the Romance by Schumann
and the Nocturne by Chopin both of
which she played with deep feeling
and with good singing tone, while
in her List number and in Mendel-
ssohn's Rondo she exhibited to mark
ed degree the technical possibilities
at her command.
The popularity of the charming
yOAAlR tcuy Was SNluSAGSO ny LtAS lHI &c
attendance, the audience filing the
beautifully decorated hall to the very
corners, as well as by the countless
floral and other gifts with which she
was showered..
Not the least to the enjoyment of
the evening was contributed by Mrs.
Ernest r.. Wright, as who generally
conceded had never been heard to bet
ter advantage. AS first number she
sang Tschaikowsky's grand Aria of
Jeanne dare, Farewell We Hills, in
which she showed the dramatic power
of her splendid voice, while the Bird
songs by Liza Lehman took the au-
dience by storm. Indeed it seemed as
though the artist could not have chos-
en- anything better adapted to her
voice, for the clearness with which she
initiated the song of the different birds
could only be accomplished by a pure
and silvery voice as hers.
The evening will long be remembered
by those fortunate enough to be pres
ent.

MUCH MUNICIPAL IMPROVE
MENT WORK PENDING.

Il have been in North Dakota many
years but never saw crop conditions
more nearly perfect than at present"
said Contractor c. H. Porritt this
morning. Il have just returned" he
continued, from trip to Washburn
and other parts OF the state where /
have some contracts. The conditions
are certainly most encouraging. The
wheat will soon be large enough to
shade the ground, when the evapora-
ton will be less and the precipitation
even more beneficial. Winter rye and
winter wheat, wherever there is a
stand, is looking fine, and the former
is heading out.
II was fortunate enough to secure
$4,000 sewer and water contract at
jamestown this week Several other
towns are contemplating improvements
and will put them in as soon as the
crop conditions are assured.
AT the present time, North Dakota
certainly seems to be on the eve Of
a wave OF prosperity"

dred new packages of supplies have
been sent out from the local postoffice
which has been named by the govern
ment as the distributing center for
the postofflces of the northwest.
These supplies are shipped to the
local mail house by freight and are
then distributed to the other federal
institutions. The large shipment is
one of the biggest advertisements that
Fargo has and it is generally appre-
eiated by the merchants of the city.
In the distribution just made, almost
every Montana postoffice received

DINNER rendered
SAMUEL kahn
FORMER GENERAL MANAGER OF
UNION LIGHT, HEAT q POWER
CO., RECIPIENT OF MANY FARE
WELL ATTENTIONS FROM HIS
FORMER employees IN CITY

A farewell dinner at the Gardner
hotel was rendered Samuel Kahn, re-
firing general manager Of the Union
Light, Heat g. Power Co. Of this city,
last night, by the department heads
Of that concern.
1t was quite an elaborate spread and
covers were laid for each head OF the
various departments of the company,
all of whom have been closely assoc
ciated with Mr.. Kahn during his two
years and a half connection with the
concern as its manager.
Between courses near the end OF the
meal, Mr.. McAleese, on behalf OF his
associates, presented Mr.. Kahn with a
handsome gold watch fob, which bore
the retiring general managers name
and by whom 1t was given and his ini-
tials. The inscription on the fob, show
ing the donors, read: Samuel Kahn,
General Manager. May IL, 1911, by
Department Heads, u. L., Fl. & p. Co"
At a late hour the party dispersed
and went to the main offices OF the
company. where Mr.. Kahn was greeted
by all the employees on the force.
There he was presented with a hand
some travelling bag OF Russian leather
and a portmanteau.
Light refreshments were served there
and during the informal reception, Mr..
Kahn received the good wishes of all
the men who have worked under him
since he has been general manager of
the company. At both presentations
he was quite overcome with the kind
sentiment of hts friends, who showed
their appreciation OF his kindnesses
and manner in which he has superin-
tended the affairs of the concern, and
was almost powerless to express his
thanks on either occasion.
Mr.. Kahn took his final leave OF
Fargo this morning, going on No. s to
the twin cities, where he will start
for Chicago at once He expects to
be in New York Monday and after a
conference there will go 10 Bluehelds,
w. Va, where he becomes manager
Of the Appalachian Power Co. With
him he carries the best wishes OF the
whole city and of all those with whom
he came in contact.
It may be OF interest TO many Far
goans, to know that his sister, Miss
Helen Kahn Of San Antonio, and her
aunt, who spent the summers of
1900-10 in this city, will go to Cali
fornia this year instead Of joining her
brother.
