tract to Make the Plans
THE TEMPLE OPERA HOUSE
Enterprise is Being- Pushed Along- With
All Possible Speed The Work of
Excavating- Shortly to be

An important step was taken in the

Inst Friday evening when the board of

ple Craft awarded the contract for pre
paring tho plans and specifications for
the new building to Mr Carl Boiler the
well known architect of Kansas City
whose specialty is theater work Mr
Boiler with sevoial other architects
fiom different cities has been going

committee of the board for a week or
more and his selection will be accept

cialist He engager to give the matter
his prompt attention and hopes to have
complete plans and specifications ready
within thirty days
In the meantime the work of excavat
ing for the building will be taken up
and pushed along as soon as possible
As the average depth of the excavation
will be in the neighborhood of twelve
feet this will be a large undertaking
Much of the dirt will likely bo hauled
to the new high school grounds for fill
ing up and grading that block
The enterprise will cost in the neigh
borhood of 81000000 The building
which is to occupy the three lots north
of the Kelloy building will be 75x110

It will contain two store rooms several
suites of office rooms the Masonic tem
ple and the opera house The base
ment will contain the boiler room and
there will be front space for rental pur
poses
It will be a large enterprise and
should call forth every drop of McCook
pride and every dollar of needed money
Buy a Season Ticket
When you stop to think the cost of a
season ticket for the McCook Chautau
qua is certainly low Only 8200 for the
entire season Think of the many fine
programs to be enjoyed for such a trifl
ing sum Programs one of which is
worth the entire cost of all However
that is the idea of tie Chautauqua
To provide the best in the whole coun
try at a price so low that the poor
est may attend Yet it will require
an enormous sale of season tickets at so
low a price to pay the cost of such a
magnificent program as will be furnish
ed Why not assist this great enter
prise by subscribing for a few more
then you actually need and then selling
the extra ones to your friends in the
country or near by town Try it for
the good of the cause Season tickets
