Provo will soon have one of the pref
test opera houses in the state, said John
G. Graham at the Kenyon yesterday. Mr..
Graham is the manager of the opera
house that Jesse Knight bought ., short
time go I'VE have been at work tear
ing down and building UP for the last
month. Work has been going on very
rapidly, and the house will be opened on
the 9Th of this month with Modjeska as
the attraction. The outside OF the
theatre has been remodeled, pOrches
built, and on the inside the old stage has
been torn out, so that a larger one can
be put in to accommodate the large
shows" The improvements being made
on the Provo opera house Will probably
cost in the neighborhood of $1,000.
Trade on the coast is better right now
than it has been for some time, and 1t
looks as If il will be better the coming
season than 1t is now said George A
Boomer of Chicago at the Knutsford yes
terday Il have been in California for
some months and 1 find that the condi-
tons there are very favorable for growth
are picking up, and If there comes n trade
of any Importance from the Philippines
California will become one of the leading
states in the Union All the Oriental
trade will center there and San Fran
cisco will be mart Of no little import
ance.
E. Fleming, master mechanic and di-
rector of the California & Utah Oil COM
pany. who is in Salt Lake in the interest
of his company, was talking about the
oil fields of the two states yesterday
Said he: ''Of course there is no compare
son between Utah and California; the lat
ter is far ahead, and think. always will
be. but there is a good chance for Utah.
[ have examined the prospects of the oil
industry here and L think there Is no
raeson why oil and plenty of 1t should
not be found here: It seems to me,
for il than they do on the coast. which
will make the development OF wells
somewhat slower than they would other
wise be- but when you once get started
the success of the industry will be as
sured. The quality of the oil here is
good. somewhat the same as that in Cali
fornia. not however, its equal, but that
it will become better in the future have
no doubt"
