ing the seating capacity. The floor will
be elevated and with new opera chairs,
will make N of the best theatres along
the line. 1t is also planned to redeco-
rate the interior.
Most Of the changes made this fall
have been made on the stage and in the
dressing rooms. The space on the plat
form. formerly used for dressing rooms,
has been added to the stage. making a
width Of 43 feet and q depth of AZ feet
The roof over the stage has been raised
to q height Of 40 feet from the top to
the floor below. enabling the raising and
lowering Of the scenery without the
necessity Of rolling it. This inconven-
ience has hitherto prevented many COM
panies from using the proper settings.
An opening has been made in the side
wall, 80 that scenery can be brought into
the theatre with much more ease. 4
The dressing DON are now located
In the basement. There are seven in
all. each with natural light, airy and
roomy. One room is large enough to
accommodate IL and is designed for the
use Of the chorus girls. There. is also

q good sized toilet room with hot and
cold water. Another convenience is a
trunk chute for unloading trunks at a
fast speed. by sliding them down an
inclined way.
Changes are also to be made which
will make the building perfectly safe in
case of fire. In addition to the front
and rear exits, there is to be a large
doorway at the right hand side of the
auditorium which will open onto the
street. New fire extineuishers have
been installed all over the opera house.
which have an advantage ver some
makes. as the chemicals will not freeze.
The work on the hotel annex has
been largely done by outside firms.
George Hancock of Fargo designed the
building and johnson. Anderson &
johnson of Fargo made the lowest bid
and were awarded the contract. The
brick was furnished by the Missouri
Slope Brick & Tile Co. of this city, and
the lumber by Walton & Davis. The
contract for the opera house changes
was awarded to the Northwestern
Building Co. of Dickinson.
Both of the proprietors have made
a success at hotel keeping and come from
families who have long been in the
business. They are considered among
Dickinson's most proper0us young men
and as long as they remain in charge
of the St. Charles. the public is assured
that the place will be capably managed.
Henry L. Reichert has been practically
brought up in the hotel business. His
father was for IS years a prosperous
hotel keeper, at one time managing a log
cabin hotel at Long Prairie. Minn.,
before the railroads were built. Three
other of his sons have been in the hotel
business. there being nine in all, each
of whom was brought up surrounded by
the life of a hotel. Y:
W. G. Ray has had considerable ex-
perence in the business in D ickinson.
His father, William Ray, was n Of
the pioneer hotel men of this city and
| also a successful stock dealer. The sor
was associated in the hotel after the
| death of his father.

1oTTlNEAU FIRST
Judge Crawford Will Try His
First Case There Next Month
at the Invitation of the
Ninth District Judge.

1t is Judge W. c. Crawford Of the
Tenth judicial district now. The new
district became effective on Monday
and at the same time Judge Crawford
was sworn into Office by Clerk of Court
J. G. Saunders and is now officially the
judicial head of the new district.
On Monday also Judge Crawford
moved into the judicial chambers in
the rooms of the Commercial Club in
the armory. He is now pretty we'll
settled in his new quarters and has the
best set of offices in the city. The loca-
ton is also good, as the armory is not
far from the depot and just distant
enough from the business section to
escape the noise of the street.
The audience room is the one which
the club used as a library. For the
present the books belonging to the club
will be left in the room but as soon as
the new library is completed, the books
will be placed there. Judge Crawford
has his own library of law books in
sectional book cases and the room is
comfortably furnished with a long oak
table and a number of heavy chairs.
Here the judge will hear all cases
which can be tried outside of the regular
court calendar.
The judges private Office opens out of
the larger Office and here will also be
located the desk of his stenographer,
Richard Boulger.
Judge Crawford can be found at the
armory every day except when absent
on court duty and the first Mondays
of every other month when he will
be at Mandan. While the arrange
ments have not yet been completed.
the county and city will jointly furnish
the judge with quarters, as is the cast
in practically all of the cities in which
the different judges reside.
Judge Crawford expects to try his frs
cases early next month. He has beef
invited by Judge Burr of the Ninth dis
trict to occupy the bench in Bottinea,
county the first of February. Until tn
legislature reapportions the terms O
court in the new district so that tn
dates will not conflict, no court will b
held, but it is expected that this matte
will be attended to early in the session

More HeadHnerS

The Unique theatre is fast gaining a
reputation for presenting to its patrons
all headliners in vaudeville attractions,
and the past two or three weeks have
seen some excellent offerings. The
change in the booking house is 10 in
effect and Manager Warren is securing
the best acts obtainable in this part of
the country.
The program for the first half of this
week has been about as good as any
thing yet offered and the theatre has
been filled to its capacity at every per
Torrance.
The feature number has been The
Tambo duo. a pair of clever artists in
a novelty act, introducing comedy
singing and conversation. Swiss chimes.
roller skate dancing and tambourine
manipulation.
One of the players is a wizard at
dancing on roller skates. He does some
clever stunts and performs many difficult
steps on the tricky rollers of his foot
gear. The lady possesses a pleasing
contralto voice and sings a catchy
song. The two conclude their act with
some fancy tambo work which is par
ticularly good. The. entire act has made
a big hit.
The second vaudeville number is
little Alberta Mae in a singing and
dancing act. This little girl, who is
very youthful in age, being about II
years old. sings several catchy songs in
a very attractive manner. Her work is
of high merit and the artistic manner
in which she gives her selections. seems
almost impossible for such a little girl.
As an encore she does an effective dance
of the ballet order with novel colored
light effects.
The pictures were exceptionally fine.
One film, entitled THE Happiest Day
of Her Life" tells of a little girl and
her first communion and the story
presented is an object lesson which every
child should learn.
For the remainder of the week, the act
of little Miss Mae is retained, with new
songs, and the headliner is the Two
Harris, offering a very fine rube sketch
introducing singing and dancing, mono
logues and acrobatic stunts. an act
which is more than making good with
the audiences.

County Seat Of Harding

The county seat struggle in Harding
county, S. D., wakes warm. Camp Crook
backed by a strong organization is
making a good fight. The Commercial
Club of that place is doing good system
attic work. The new town ON the Grand
is its strongest opponent. This is
centrally located and will for that rea-
son meet with favor from the voters.
The place called Buffalo, backed by some
Belle Fourche people, has already some
buildings erected. a petition is in for a
postoffice and it is making a strong bid
for the location. The place called
Tokola. n half mile from Buffalo is
also in the struggle and has good back

doors leading into the opera house and
on either side a smaller door, each open

office is IS by 10 feet in size and will be
occupied by a St. Paul land dealer.
In the basement of the annex will be
located the sale and display rooms for
drummers. Entrance is obtained both
from the basement of the main hotel
and from the street, by way of a door
between the store and Office, and a
stairway. Down n side of the base
ment is a large corridor and opening
out of it are four large show rooms for
use of Commercial agents. These rooms
are well lighted and have cement floors.
