that a large part of the recent public

But the outside speculation failed to show

clique.
Neither had they the combined resources
at their command to come in and support
stocks on the declining market. The
weakness Of the hands into which large
mounts OF the granger had fsnen was
made evident by the heavy stop loss or

The OPERA HOUSE.

Investment.
Great Falls, Aug. 23.-Charies p.
Craig, a real estate agent of Duluth
and the representative of the eastern
owners of the Great Falls opera house,
is In the city for the purpose Of sscsr-
tanning whether something LII be
done with the property TO enabl Il to
ear a revenue. He claims hat under
present conditions IL Is not paying 2
per cent. interest on the investment,
and unless the property can be leased
or sold to local " other people. 1t will
be made into a fiat OF a tenement house,
anything to bring a return on h IN
vestment.

mortgaged for about SIS. 900 and sold
under foreclosure. The citizene who
went into the scheme lost the difference
between SIT 900, the bid Of the mort
sagse and the price at which he took
IL, and the original cost, and now the
mortgage would very likely be willing
to dispose Of IL at a figure considerably
under what il has cost him. Tin il
dces not pay. The original scheme was
that Of John Guerin, himself a votsasn
Of the stage and now chief of police
in this city. His idea was TO erect a
building costing about 3 1000 and adapt
ed TO all sorts Of public meetings, a
building which would have been a pay
ing investment from the start. Those
whom he interested In the matter shot
so far ahead of his original idea that
Guerin had to quit them and the result
was a very beautiful opera house and
a bad investment.
There has been some little talk on toe
streets since Mr.. Craig's errBnd became
known of raising a stock subscription
and taking the building, providing II
could be had at terms which would m
sure the possibility of a ~evenue, but the
suggestion met with little or no encour-
agement, most people believing that a
new building nearer the center Of the
business portion OF the city and go con-
structed that 1t might be used for large
dances and other such functions wuul
be preferable. The public. whose in
terest in the matter is only superficial,
will watch ~curiously the termination Of
the matter.
