The Fargo college campaign could
not have been successfully carried
through; despite the splendid spirit of
sacrifice shown by Fargo people, with
out the systematic plans which origi-
mated with e. J. Hockenbury, the
campaign manager. 1t is doubted If
any other man could have been more
successful in handling the campaign.
Mr.. Hockenbury is a Y. M. C. A.
man. He Is field secretary of the
state Y. M. c. A. Of Pennsylvania. 1t
will not be surprising to the people
who have been working with Mr..
Hockenbury to learn that the state of
Pennsylvania has one-ninth Of all the
Y. M. C. A. members of the country
and one-sixth Of all the railroad Y.

Fargo college is saved. More than
that, Fargo people have been enthused
and aroused as never before, as a re-
suit of the six day campaign which
came. to more than successful close
last evening.
AS result of the six days work the
total raised for Fargo college in Far
go was boosted to $115,396.50. This
amount was contributed by 1927 peo-
pie, which shows the deep interest that
was taken in the movement by the citi-
zens and the kind of response that was
made. Both the effort to raise the fund
and the response that was made were
magnificent.
The striking feature of the campaign
was the summing up Of the results by
the leaders in the movement as given
above. In telling of the results Fargo
college was not mentioned. The rails
ing of the 100000 was merely Incl
dental, according to the opinion of these
men. The real value, the big thing
about the campaign, was the lasting
good that it has done to the city Of
Fargo, in drawing the citizens togeth-
er and showing them what they can do
by systematic effort. Fargo is now
ready to attempt anything.
The last get-together banquet at the
Y. M. C. A. headquarters last night was
inspirational. President Hansel was
called on and he responded with a ring
ing address in which he voiced the
hearty appreciation Of himself and the
executive board Of Fargo college for the
magnificent response that had been
made by the citizens Of Fargo.
Mr.. Hansel has statement in The
Forum which sums up his sentiments.
One thing which has brought burst
of applause was the vision which
President Hansel placed before his
hearers, OF three new buildings on the
hill. He believes that In short time
there will be both boys and a gorls'
dormitory and conservatory buold-
ing, all Of them self-sustained build
ings.
During the course of the evening,
words of heartiest appreciation were
expressed for the work that has been
done by Mr., Hockenbury, the cam
paign manager, and he was given three
hearty cheers.
Following the supper, the workers

formed in a line Of march and paraded
the down town streets, headed by a.
volunteer band. Almost all of the 200
business men and women of Fargo
who put over" this campaign were in
line.
Honors for the day went to Division
A which scored a total of $3,647. But
team in Division B. captained by
J. P. Hardy evened matters again by
taking the individual team honors for
the day with collection Of $1,655.
All teams and all divisions made
yesterday their big day. In Division
c., which Is made up entirely Of Ia
dies, team 13 holds first place with
1856. A noteworthy feature of the
ladies' work yesterday is that no team
secured less than 500, the lowest ex-
ceeding that mark by SO, and all
five teams averaging almost $500.
Because of the excellent work done
by the campaign committee a motion
made by Secretary Hardy of the com
mercial club, was adopted last evening
at the banquet to 'perpetuate the body
as an informal organization to work
for the general good Of Fargo. As it's
next task the committee has elected
to secure the money necessary to
complete the auditorium building.
Resolutions.
The following blanket resolutions
were adopted at the banquet:

for a week, Meyer feared trouble. Te
has been in Butte for several days
trying to induce the revolters to re-
turn. His endeavors failed and the in
surgents organized an independent
body.
The mutterings against the Western
Federation were heard. Meyer him
self asked Sheriff Driscoll to have
guards at the hall to prevent any in
terruption of the meeting, which was
to outline new overtures of peace.
Many of the 1000 men who had left
the old union declared they would no
longer adhere to it's officers and en-
dure what they termed was unfair
treatment. 1t was announced that any
effort to induce back any Of the Sc
ceders would be met with active in
reference. They carried out this
threat when Union hall was dyna-
mited.
There are reports that State Gov
ernor Stewart will probably order out
troops to quell the trouble.

REPORT
MEXICAN
SHIPPING
..e MWSH

Washington, June 24.-Persistent re-
ports of sniping by Mexican federals on
the American outposts at Vera Cruz,
and rumors of the constitutionalists'
further advances toward Mexico City
served to stir the interest in the Mexi-
can situation. --~r-,- r.. ~ HI.
Although the war department will
make public no reports from General
Funsten regarding sniping on Ameri-
can forces, it Is known that there has
been an investigation of the continued
reports to that effect.
There have been many inferences
that Huerta'S forces are attempting to
provoke a, fight with the American
troops and thus force intervention. Pa
tient waiting on the part of the ad
ministration continued to be the atti-
tude of the administration.
The coming Of Aldredo Barceda, rep
resentative Of Carranza, to Washing
ton tomorrow is awaited with interest
In official quarters. That Barceda and
his colleagues are coming to take part
in the conferences with the officials of
the Washington government is declared
to be a fact. but whether they or other
will go on to Niagara
Falls to join American and Huerta del,
egates In the informal discussion of
peace is still problematicai The ad-
leaders insisted, however,
that the prospects are hopeful.

Butte, June 24.-Twenty- three blasts

Today Butte presents the appear

Men walked the streets armed and
deputy sheriffs patrolled the main

molished as the result Of attacks by
the insurgent miners last night and

Attacks were made upon Union hall,
evidently with the idea of annihilating
