OPENING OF new CAFE
and THEATRE AT HIBBING
.
-Messrs. Miles and Markham to Open
the New Hotel at Hibbing IN
Few Days.

The Miles cafe and theatre is
rapidly coming to the finishing
touches and it is expected that
the date Of opening will be an
nounced within a few days. The
Miles hotel; which was closed
last fall, was said to have been
one of the prettiest public houses
IN the northwest, but from the
day of the closing the place has
been undergoing a complete
change and will come to the fn-
ish in a condition that will leave
the old Miles hotel as mere rail
road eating house in comparison.
An addition SO by 125 feet has
been made to the rear of the
building, which makes the di-
mension 100 by 12b feet, and the
whole interior has been altered.
In arranging for the theatre,
cafe and bar room, which occupy
the greater portion of the ground
floor, material of the most elab-
crate and costly has been used.
The theatre in it's fnishings will
hold up to anything in the Twin.
Cities, and the whole house has
been renovated along the same
magnificent lines. It IS possible
that the opening date will be an.
nounced next week, but Messrs..
Miles 81 Markham do not want
to make any announcements or
give any promises until they are
absolutely sure. Messaba Ore.
