HOUSE FOR FARGO
MEETING HELD IN MINNEAPOLIS
YESTERDAY TO CONSIDER
PROPOSITION OF BUILDING NEW
VAU UDEVILLE THEATRE IN FAR.
GO-READY IN FEBRUARY. ..-

A new vaudeville house for the city
of Fargo to be operated by George H.
Webster and the Webster Theatrical
exchange, is a proposition that was
launched in Minneapolis yesterday at
a meeting held at the Dykeman hotel.
This statement was given out for
publication this morning by Secretary
Abner Of the Webster corporation Of
this city, who attended the meeting.
Present at the meeting he said were
George H. Webster, now of Chicago
but formerly Of Fargo, Albert Web
ster, Mr.. Abner and several theatrical
men of the mill city.
The new house, if built here, Mr.
Abner said this morning would have a
seating capacity of about 1,400. A
number of locations have been con-
sidered, among those offered it is
stated, is the corner of Front street
and Broadway in the present location
of what was formerly the Commercial
bank -t-
This is thought to be an excellent
location as it will be 50 near the new
city auditorium and it Is understood
will have the encoura cement of the
business men of that side of the city.
However, Mr.. Abner7 said nothing
definite had been decided about this
until the financial arrangements We're
fully made. -
The new theatre will be the prop
erty Of Minneapolis and Chicago in
vestors and not the Websters, but the
Websters will have control of the
house. it's operations and bookings.
Mr.. Abner. stated it was the hope of
the promoters to have the new house
completed and opened by Feb 1, 1914.

PANAMA Canal.

- X IA
Washington, Aug. 22.Another inn
portant step toward final completion of
the Panama canal will be taken next
Monday when preparations will be
made to blow up the heavy earthly
dyke, now the only barrier between the
Mirafores locks and tideWater on the
Pacific SIDE three miles away.
~ There ia will be nothing spectacular
about%the destruction of the dyke The
work will be performed by a number of
holes heavily charged with dynamite,
then for five days fresh water from the
Rio GTande diversion, one of the rivers
in the canal zone Will be turned into
the canal prism and when the water is
near the level the sea water on the
other side the charge will be set off.
Two monster dredges are waiting to-
attack the debris and 1t is expected
two or three days will clear channel
through the dyke sufficient to admit
the dredges and vessels of ten or
twelve feet draft as far as Mirafiores
locks. Al month later a channel the
full width Of the canal prism, and deep
enough to pass d battleship will be
completed sas
After the destruction of the Mira
flores dyke there Will remain only two
such obstruct Ions along the canal
route, one at Gannboa, about one third
of the way through from the Atlantic,
holding back the water from the
Culebra cut and one over which the
railroad crosses at the Gatun locks.

There was not even standing room
left at either performance at the
Orphenm last night as the bill for
the last half Of the week made such
a big hit, and it deserves it too as
every act in the bill, is feature act.
The "Sraub sisters who are the star
act of the bill have more than made
good with their unique singing and
dancing novelty. Introducing the fads
from the different periods from the
days of "61 to the present year Of
1913" is one of the most delightful
acts ever presented in this city When
one of the sisters appears in the hoop
skirts of the vintage pf 61 she re-
ceiyes an ovation, but it is small
compared to the reception which the
other sister receives when she APP
pears with monster hat, which hat is
a wonder and she has every woman
as we'll as many men wondering how
she keeps it on, but that is her secret
and she knows how to keep it even
If she is a woman.
The La Stella Trio are two Austrian
men and a woman who do hign
class musical act with quaint looking
old SalVonic3 instruments as well as
the violin and flute. They close their
act with q national dance Of their
race
Gene and Arthur are d couple OF up Z
to-date entertainers with singing
and piano act, one Of those snappy
breezy clean vaudeville acts which the
public always like.

BIG LAUGH AT IRIJou.

The Biiou is offering it's patrons a
very attractive show today. The bill
is rather humorous and those who
have. not had a good laugh for some
time will find it will d. their system
good to go to the popular playhouse
tonight. Sidney Drew and Harry
Morey are, real funny in the picture,
A Regiment of Two. They tell their
wives that they belong to the thir-
'teenth regiment so that they may get
out one night each week for drill. This
works for some time but when war
breaks out they have a hard Job of
explaining why they did not have 10
go to battle. Many funny circum-
stances are gotten into by the two
men and loud are the laughs that they
cause.
Curious Sea Creatures shows the
many sea animals and creatures, and
is truly, a wonderful finn Life in the
Philippines, portrays the life of the
inhabitants Of the sunny southern is
land. This picture is particularly inter-
