REAL ESTATE DEAL.

Probably one Of the most import
ant city Real estate deals in year
has been closed this week. We refer
to the property bought by r. H.
Emerson and Son on Second st. be-
tween Main and Reishus. This
means a new Opera House for Minot
and probably one Of the best in the
state. The location Is ideal and was
thoroughly gone into with a view Of
the future. The new postoifice ana
Federal building will not be over a
hundred feet from the New Theatre
site and with the building of q Nor
NAL School for Minot which brings
vision OF an up to date street car
system. We again note the wisdom
of R. H. Emerson and Son in choosing
this particular location for theatre
site, as it will not have the annoy
ance Of street car line passing the
theatre in front, but they will natural
ly pass up Reisnus or Main street,
thus having room for unhindered
carriage service in front of the play
house. Another good feature is that
there is a 20 foot alley beside the
site enabling the architects to give
plenty Of exits and ventilation for the
play house. Architects we under
stand are already busy drawing plans
and Judging r. H. Emerson and Son
in the future from the past, the
new opera house will be the finest in
the state. This important real estate
was closed between Mr.. Peter Chr
and r. H. Emerson and Son by Frank
