The Grand Family theatre ON First
avenue will house the meetings of the
Tri-State Grain Growers and the
State Corn Growers association which
will be held in this city during the
week of Jan. IA.
In addition TO that, another large
hall has been secured which will take
care OF the overflow meetings that
are sure to follow this great gather
ing.
gins it's engagement i'm this city to-
night for an indefinite run and 1t was
not without a great deal of inconveni
ence that President Fowler of the
Fargo Theatrical Co. decided to close
the house during the time the Tri-
State Corn Growers are here, but out
side of one night the shows will con-
tinue, with the exception of the day
time.
The Grand seats more people than
any other house in the city or even
more than did the Fargo operahouse
which burned Sunday morning, SO that
there will be more accommodations
for the people in that house than
there would have been in the opera
house
II worried all day yesterday over
the subject" said President Worst
this morning to The Forum, "and
am more than pleased that Mr.. Fowl
er has agreed to permit the use OF
the house for the four days Of our
big meetings.
ut would never do to discontinue
these great meetings, for | want to
tell you that nowhere in the United
States are such mammoth meetings
held in the interest of agricultural
pursuits as in Fargo.
.'The Tri- State Grain Growers as
soeiation Is pet with me, and ]
am proud Of it, The corn growers
convention is also big thing for the
state and we will be able to take care
of each and the other affairs all
right
Colonel Page of the commercial club
also expressed himself as being very
much pleased over the fact that the
matter had been settled and that the
Tri- State Grain Growers would be
even better taken care OF than in
previous years. II am fully eonyinc-
ed" said he, that we will have the
auditorium before next fall and that
it will be a building that Fargo will
be well pleased with. The auditorium
was ali settled on before the. opera
house fire, as will be shown in the
near future"

Of the country, it is declared, rail-

competition exists In greater measure
on the Pacific coast, the commissioner
