OPERA HOUSE PROJECT
Sioux City Man Wants to Build a
S25,0OO Structure in Mitchell
Next Spring.

While in Sioux City over Sun
day II. L. Bras had conference with
a. B. Beall manager OF the Grand
opera house at that place. Mr.. Beall
informed Mr.. Bras that he was de-
sirous of erecting a good play house
at Mitchell land wanted him to present
the matter to the citizens of this
city and ascertain what encourage
ment would be offered. Mr.. Beall,
as stated manages the opera house
at Sioux City, also has lease Of the
house at Fort Dodge, Mankato and
Sioux Falls and has just completed the
purchase of the new opera house at
Yankton, and with a house at Mitch
ell it would give him circuit of six
good towns.
Mr.. Beall stated to Mr. Bras that
he could invest $4,000 in the house
he wanted to erect here and that it
would require three lots on which to
place the building, which would be
extended back to the alley The
house he would build would be equal
to anything in the northwest, have
everything that good theatre should
have and provide it with attractions
that usually 60 around us. With
this circuit Mitchell would get the
same high class attractions that
Sioux City now has, and this Of itself
should make the matter worth inves-
tigating.
Mr.. Beall will come to Mitchell
next week and interview the busi-
ness men on this proposition. and it
is hoped that he will be received with
a cordiality which will insure the
erection, Of the new building. To
Mr.. Bras the gentleman did not ex-
press what he would expect of Mitch
ell in the enterprise or in what way
he wou d like to have it done.
Mitchell is in the receptive mood
for branching OUT further along all
lines, and anything that brings
splendid improvements of this char.
acter is worthy the support of the
people.
| Mr.. Beall is a man who is known
over the northwest as one who does
things and does them right, and We
are confident that if he is met in {
fairly liberal way that the new opera
house will be reality.

is to be provided with a building
that will more fully come up to the
demands of the business of the office.
Messrs. Smith & Dawson were un-
able to give any details Of the plans
of the new building, as they had just
got the information Of the acceptance
of their proposition, yet there is not
the slightest doubt but what they
will erect building that will be
credit to the city in every respect
and one that will be highly salts
factory to the government. They
don't do business any other way.
It is understood that the interior
Of the building will be devoted ex-
clusively to the use Of the postoffice
and that no other business will be al
lowed to be conducted therein.
Postmaster Bras was also informed
by Mr.. Hawley that the department
had increased his appropriation $500
per year for heating and lighting the
present building. In years past but
$500 was appropriated for this purpose
Postmaster Bras is to be congratu-
lated on his success in interesting the
government in providing better quar-
ters for the local Office. The new
building will answer every purpose
until Mitchell is able to engage the
attention Of the government to the
erection Of a government building as
the day will soon come when the city
will be entitled to a structure Of this.

1t will be remembered that Chas.
NJ. Waters, an.inspector Of the post
Office department., was in the ty
several weeks ago and made some
investigations along the lines Of a
need for anew building for the post
office. The room in..which --the-post-
office business has been conducted for
a number of years has proved made
quate and a change was absolutely
necessa y the good Of the service
Postmaster Bras had placed the mat
ter thoroughly before the department.
and after looking over the present To-
cation Mr.. Waters was not lorg in
determining to improve the condi-
tions as much as possible.
When he was here the inspector
submitted some plans and specifca-
tion as to what would be required by
the government for postoffice in
this city and asked that bids be SUBJ
mitted to him for the erection of a
building and which could be leased
by the governmenu..for asperiod of at
least five years.
-Four or five bids were placed with
Mr.. Waters at the time and they
covered different locations in the
city. Postmaster Bras received a
communication Monday afternoon
from the acting first assistant post
master general, J. j. Hawley, which
contained the information that the
proposition Of Smith & Dawson to
erect a building for the use of the
postoffice in this city had been ac-
cepted.
The building is to be located on the
west side of Main street between
Third and Fourth, the site being
where the office of r. D. Prescott is
now situated. The size Of the build.
ing is to be 22x9O, and it is to include

terviewed by the Journal was George
Mathewson, Of Fort Pierre, across
the river from the present capital.
Naturally Mr.. Mathewson is not in
favor of having the capital taken
away from a point so close to his
home town, and uses the alleged
settling up of the country west of
Pierre as good reason for retaining
the seat of the state government.
Mr.. Mathcwson also says that Pierre
practically bankrupted herself to get
the capital in the first place and that
now she ought to be allowed to re-
tain it.
