An arrangement was closed Satur. |
day whereby the Grand opera house
goes under the managemnt of Messrs.
Cowley & Nimm.o who have SO sue
cessfully managed the Colonial since
it opened year ago. Devils Lake is
hardly large enough to properly sup
port two play houses at all seasons Of
the year, and this arrangement will
therefore be better plan than trying
to run two houses, which would nee
essarily, be at loss certain parts of
the year. ~ 's.$ s5

first Of the year the house commenced
a contract with the Walker circuit who
are to. furnish some of their fine the
atrical attractions. Arrangements
made for the continuance of the most
excellent J5 vaudeville performances
that have been, given at the. Grand

N The formal opening of the fine new.
Carnegie library was opened to the
public Friday evening. On this occa-;
sion the members Of the Library and

librarian were hostesses, and made the
occasion a peasant one for those
who visited the library, by showing
the visitors through the building and
serving frappe.s The Devils Lake or
chestra was present and furnished ex-
cellent music throughout the evening.
The opening Of this fine new library
in Devils Lake means much to our
city as it places within the reach of
our. people many Of the very best
books. which may be taken from. the
library and read In the home Of Devv-
ils Lakes people. There are also
numerous reading, tables In the room,
which are we'll supplied with maya
zines, newspapers and other periodi-
calls, where anyone is welcome to go
and spend the evening reading, in a
well lighted. heated and ventilated
room. ;..r.
+, That this fine library is in our midst
Is due almost entirely to the earnest
eoffrts of a number of Devils Lake Ia
dies, members Of the various clubs of
the city who have worked INCREASINGLY
for number of years in their endea-
fvor, to procure for this city this, one
of the best institutions that can be
placed within any city. Their efforts
were not always met with encourage

difficult obstacles were placed in their
way, but through it all they have KEEP
everlastingly at 1t, with the result
that in the end they have triumphed
and have as a result of their perser
yeranee the consolation that Devil
