some COUNTIES MAY
HAVE NO TREAS.
SOME COUNTIES IN THE STATE
MAY HAVE NO TREAsuRERs
OWING TO THE PECULIAR SIT
uATIoN OVER LEGISLATURE
cAss CO. UNAFFECTED.

A peculiar situation arises in several
counties in North Dakota this year
where, owing to conflicting legislation,
there will be no regular elected county
treasurers for a period of four months,
from Jan. ] to May 1. Cass county,
however, will not be affected.
The state constitution limits the
terms of all to four years,
an incumbent being qualified from
serving more than that period. AS a
result of the enactment by the 1911
legislature of a measure which changes
the time for taking over the duties of
the officer from Jan. l to May /, it
may be found necessary for h APP
pointment of ~treasurers in various
counties where the incumbents are aft
fected by this bit Of conflicting legis-
lation. .
In such instances it will necessitate
the appointment of such officials by
the boards of county commissioners
to fill the vacancy from Jan. / to May
/. In all cases the retiring treasurers
will probably be appointed. but this
will require another bond covering
that period of four months. :
Cass county will not be affected BY
the new law as County Treasurer
Ciilbertson is only concluding his
first term in that office so will not
come under the constitutional four
years ban. As the law provides fer
the present treasurer to continue until
his successor takes Office, unless 1t
conflicts with he constitution, Mr.
GI1bertson will not have to give an
extra bono for the intervening period,
between Jan. l., when his present term
constitutionally expires, to May 1,
when his next term actually begins.
He will be bonded from Jan. 1, 1918 to
May /, 1915.

BRIEF Meeting
OF The COUNCIL
CITY FATHERS CONSIDER OTHER
MATTERS THAN POLICE SCAN
DAL-LITTLE REFERENCE WAS
MADE TO RECENT PROBE
SESSION BRIEF.

The brief session of the city oun
Gil last night was quite tame In com
parison to the nature of the meetings
of the last few weeks when the al
alleged police department scanual oc-
cupied the attention of h aldermen.
Not all were present last night. n
in the absence of the mayor and Presi-
dent Jardine, Alderman Green of the
Second ward, vice president of the
board of city fathers, presided.
There was a special report of the
proceedings in the district court yes
terday morning when Judge Pollock
made permanent the writ of prohibi-
ton which he temporarily ordered sew
eral days ago. Mr.. Shure was not
present and Mr.. Smith presented an
oral report.
The only other reference to the po-
lice department scandal came in
the form of a motion from Alderman
Stewart, who desired to see the ordi-
nance giving the council power to re-
move city officials swept off h ordt-
nance books, so that other city u
ellis will not make the same mistake
in the future.
From the police scandal the argu-
ment shifted bodily to h complaint
of popcorn vendors standing on GER
tain street corners in the business dis
trict when they are supposed to keep
moving. An animated discussion con-
corning this matter continued until
adjournment and Alderman Mcdonald
finally suggested that City Attorney
Smith look up the ordinance n see
what can be done, also to investigate
the matter of the condition of Eighth
street at the intersection of Second
avenue, which was reported to be
dangerous in a communication sent
to the council by the northwestern
Mutual Investment Co.
The council took an early adjourn
ment until Monday, Dec. 16.

STOCK At grand
Theatre DEC. e
MANAGER WEBSTER RETURNS
FROM NEW YORK WHERE HE
SECURES COMPANY OF TEN,
INCLUDING SCENIC ARTIST
WILL BE HERE MONDAY.

Beginning Monday Dec. 90 there will
be a great change in the policy of the
Grand theatre in this city.
Manager Webster will introduce a
full stock company which will pro-
duce two standard plays each week,
the first half of the week being de-
voted to the ~melOdramatic and the last
to comedy n farce comedy.
Mr.. Webster this morning returned
from New York where with the as
sistance of his producer, George Halli-
day, he secured a company of ten, nine
performers and one scenic artist and
the company will begin r~ehearsing
next Monday morning at the Grand,
the play to be produced a week from
that date for the first three days, be-
ing The Parish Priest.
The scenic artist engaged is one of
the best in his line, and it is the in
~tention of Manager Webster and Pro-
Queer Halliday to put every play on
just as it will be seen in the largest
cities of the country. The company
has been selected with the great care,
and Mr.. Webster said this morning:
You a say for me. that l believe
/ have the company engaged that will
be sure to please the people of this
city. / have the utmost confidence
that the new idea for the Grand will
be one that will find much pleasure
with the people, for 1t will give them
something other than vaudeville to
see during the winter months. The
Iast half of the first week will be de-
voted to a pure comedy entitled Anita,
the Singing Girl.
On account of SO many of the
theatrical people being engaged by the
manufacturers of moving picture film
producers we have a great deal OF
trouble in securing the people we
wanted, but we know that we have q
well balanced capable company, and
we will do our best in securing plays
that will please"

LoWs-ALL WHO WILL get
INTO THE GAME" URGED TO
SEND NAMES AT ONCE.

The Santa Claus mail of The Forum
is rapidly assuming large proportions
and 1t is surprising TO know the num-
Der of little tots that are in need of
assistance from the Good Fellows of
the city in order that they may have a
merry Christmas. The number of
children In this city gives promise of
exceeding the 300 mark and it is the
desire of Santa Claus that none of
them are allowed to want for the pres
ents that will make their day a happy
one,
The Shotwell Floral Co. has ordered
the largest tree ever brought to Fargo
and a number OF the merchants have
agreed to furnish the decorations.
Manager Fowler of the Fargo Theatre
Co., has secured a hlm appropriate to
the children. Miss Dare will sing and
the orchestra will play. The entertain
ment will be in the Orpheum theatre
at 10 a. m. on Christmas day.
Every person who desires to assist in
caring for the children, is urged to
send in their name and the amount
they are willing to expend to Santa
Claus of The, Forum at once, in order
that the proper arrangements can be
made. A committee of ladies will pur-
chase the present for any who are un-
able to find time to do it themselves,
and the name of the child taken care
of in each instance will be sem to the
Good Fellow.
To those who desire to purchase the
present in person, the name of a child
will be sent and the Good Fellow will
be told where to send the present that
it may be placed on the tree.
Santa Claus also desires that twenty
young ladies volunteer their services
for an hour or two IN Christmas norm
ing to assist in distributing the pres
ents. If you want to help in this
cause, SEM in your name at once, so
that the duty you are to perform can
be assigned to you. 4
Be a good fellow to at least one
child this Christmas and experience
the joy that comes from whole hearted
giving to those hat are not so fortu-
nate in life as yourself. .-
