BIG SHOW FEATURED
At GRAND THEATRE
(Ry George A. Benson.D


With n Of the best all-around
vaudeville programs seen in the city
for some time. the Grand theatre yes
terday began Its fall and winter sea-
son under the Orpheum bookings.
Three performances were given dur
ing the day, and each time the per-
formers played to capacity houses.
The feature act is "DeVere Of the
Chorus" presented by Eleanor Otis &
Co. The act is a picture Of The
Chorus Lady" and is one of the best
COMEDY skits e at the Grand. Miss
Otis gives an excellent %portraiture of
the slansy chorus girl. The young
woman playing with her has an ex-
~ceptionally good voice and uses II to
good advantage.
The Neher and Kappell roller skate
artists give a decidedly novel act, and
one that brings forth its share Of en-
thusiasm. The work of Mae Collins,
the Dutch girl" and of Thomas &
Thomas, the "ragtirne trio" is excep-
tionally good.
The music furnished by the Masten
orchestra was one Of the best features
Of the play. their overture being es-
pecially pleasing.

taken up. Mayor NJ. F. Murphy,
chairman of the committee, will also
announce the appointment Of William
Torgerson. as secretary and treasurer
Of the committee to succeed F. F. Bur
chard. who recently resigned.
Their Is considerable question as to
whether or no the committee has the
right to name a successor to DR..
Thomas. There is a difference Of
opinion on the Interpretation Of the
law. and 1t is expected that an opinion
will be secured from Attorney General
Miller before the committee meets.
City Attorney Wineman said today
that the committee had the right to
name a successor. There IL absolute.
~ no question but that they have this
right" he declared. "or otherwise the
primary law would be no good. A
may died or "a candidate
may resign. as in this case. and there
is no reason why the committee can
not fill his lace"
Mayor Murphy said this morning
that he would announce the appoint
ment OF MI. Burchard's successor at
that meeting. He also said that plans
be made OF the committees
work during the campaign. The meet
ing will follow the session of the Will

ASSESSMENT ON REAL

cate board Of equalization for this
year. and compared with that OF
1911. Inasmuch az the detailed re-
port Of railroad lines in process of

acres. Following are the figures de-

It will be noticed that there is a
erty. This was anticipated. though
it is hardly as much as was expected.
This is due to several causes. All
merchants, at least the great majority
Of them carried a very low stock last
spring owing to the two bad years
preceding. A great number Of cat
tie were sold last year. and all rail-
road building ceased last summer.
All these and many other facts enter

complaint to the wholesalers and a

THE STATE CENTRAL
COMMITTEE
IL. MEET
Filling Vacancies on Elector-
al Ticket a Mooted Ques-
ton to be Decided.

The uestion Of flling the electoral
vacancies. caused by the resignation
OF three Of the electors. will be the
most important thing to come before
the meeting Of the North Dakota re-
publican central committee, which
convenes in Bismarck tomorrow.
The filling Of these vacancies brings
up a legal technicality. similar to the
M prevailing in the case Of the
Grand Forks county democratic CEN
trail committee in naming a successor
to DR.. George 8. Thomas as an op-
ponent to H. A. Bronson. republican
candidate for senator from the Sew
enth legislative district.
Theer Is some difference Of opinion
regarding the right Of the committee
to fill these vacancies, and an opin.
will undoubtedly be secured from
Attorney General Miller before any
definite action Is taken. :.
1t was stated today. on good au-
thortty, that an attempt would be
made to endorse Taft's presidential
candidacy. In regard to the state
candidates, the committee, 1t is said,
VIII endorse the regular republican
ticket, nominated at the primaries.
Aside from the electoral question
and the endorsement Of a presidential
candidate, the committee will be call
ed on to settle a committeeman con-
test from the Forty-ninth district.
Hettinger and Adams counties form
h Forty ninth district. The Het-
finger committee. contends that the
committees of both counties are to
meet at the senior county seat to elect
a state committeeman. Hettinger
county republicans called the meet
ing at. Mott on the grounds that 1t
was the senior county and elected DR..
George A. Sarchet Of New England
as committeeman. Adams county al
so called a meeting It their county
seat, 1t Is said. and named another
committeeman. One Of these men IL
entitled to a seat on the state central
committee. and the state committee
will have to decide which one it is.
Hettinger claims that their man
should be given the seat because they
are the. senior county. Adams county
claims the two r twins. but Hettin-
ger Is using this Is another argument
claiming that where there are twins
one is always the older.
Attorney j. B. Wineman and Jane,
Of Larimore are the committee from
this county. It will be impossible
for Mr.. Wineman to attend the meet
ing, as he has to be here for the
council meeting tonight.
Mr.. Dinnie leaves tonight for Bis.
marck to remain there during the
session. In speaking Of the meeting
Mr.. Dinnie said today that eft would
be a dyed-in-the-wool republican
meeting and that only real republi.
cans would be allowed to attend it,"
