FARGO MUST HAVE
AN AUDITORIUM
THIS Is THE coNcENsus OF oPIN.
ION AMONG THE MERCHANTS
AND BUSINESS MEN OF THE
CITY. SINCE THE TRl.sTATE
CONVENTION.

The entire after convention talk of
nearly every business man OF the city
is upon the necessity of the construc-
ton of an auditorium or some suit
able building for the accommodation of
the large number OF conventions which
come to this city The convention
this year demonstrated the fact that
the farmers of the state like to come
to Fargo and that as long as the Tri-
State Grain Growers convention is
held in the city the crowds of people
in attendance will constantly increase.
1t was conclusively shown at almost
every meeting of the convention that
much more room is needed and nearly
every speaker called attention to ths
fact that Fargo should get. busy and
have a good building erected before
the time of another convention rolls
around. Every day a. large number oI
people could get seats in the opera
house and had to leave @or stand up
It often happened that many Of those
who left were women who could not
| get seats and at nearly every session
women could be seen sitting on the
steps leading from the foyer to the
balcony while the entire foyer was
filled with standing men,
| One local business man said this
morning that something must be done
to accommodate these visitors to the
city If they exepct them to continue to
come here. There is no doubt but that
these convention are now thoroughly
4 established" said he, land each year
| is bound to witness a great increase
in the number Of people in attendance
AS Assistant Secretary Hays SAID last
night this is the largest agricultural
meeting held in the United States and
Fargo should be proud of it enough to
get busy and build a place where there
would be plenty of room.
Few people realize the extent of this
annual gathering OF farmers or wnat
is spent during their stay In Fargo. Al
most conservative figure 5000 people
came to the city as a dericts result OF
this meeting. Supposing that's during
their stay in. town they each spent SIC
] (Which would hardly cover their hotel
expenses), it would make the vast sum
of $50 900 which was left in the. city
during the four days of the convention
| This is not taking into consideration the
shopping that the farmers wives have
done nor the machines which the
farmers have bought nor the hundred
and one little 4thirgs that take money.
| One business man was shown these
figures and said. II do not think the
estimate is high enough. but even taxi
ing this as a maximum, it is certainly
evident that it spays to bring such
meetings to the city ard some action
should be taken Immediately before. the
benefits of the convention become
dimmed in the minds of the business
men Of the city"

MARSHALL BILL
!. TO BECOME LAW

Washington, d. c., Jan. 25.--The
house committee on public lands has
practically reached an agreement on
the bill introduced by Representative
Marshall Of North Dakota, by which
settlers on lands reserved for coal may
get epatents. The bill presented by
Mr.. Marshall had the Endorsement OF
the interior department, and provided
that settlers should get patent for
the surface only, leaving the under
lying coal in possession Of the govern
ment for disposal
AS agreed. upon in committee, large
ly upon the insistence OF Represent
tatives Volsread Of Minnesota and
Gronna Of North Dakota, the patent
to be issued is TO include all Of the
land with the coal reserved for future
disposal. and the settler is given the
preference right 70 purchase 1t.
1t is expected the bill will be re-
ported to the house this week, and
ali effort will be made TO push 1t
through before adjournment, as many
settlers in the west. occupying lands
held in reserve because OF coal un-
derlying them. cannot get patents for
their claims under exis.ing condf-
tiorls.
