MAY BUILD A NEW BLOCK Knights of Pythias and Ma- sonicl"raternltiesl"igqre on Fraternity Hall. SECRET SOCIETIES FAST OUT- GROWINGPRESENTQUARTERS Committees Appointed to Look Up Site and Ascertain the Probable Cost. The secret societies of the city are fast outgrowing their present lodge room quarters and it is quite possible thatin the near fu- ture several of the local lodges may enter a combination which will have for its ultimate object the erection in the near future of a fraternity hall in this city. " Bemidji secret isocieties-have been growing as well as Bemidji. Every avaiable lodge room in the city is occupied at present and some of the best and strongest secret societies in the city are occupying cramped quarters and are paying stiff rents. 2 Individual members of the Kuights of Pythias and Maso nic fraternities have decided to have the matter of building a frater- nity hall taken upand the matter will be up for the consideration of both lodges at their next regu- lar meetings. The townsite company has been asked to put a price on several sites that have | been selected as desirable and it is argued that a building can be built with a store room on the first floor which would rent read- ily for a good figure with lodge quarters on the second floor, Tt is held that a lodge hall with a banquet room, kitchen and all the accessories to a first class place is something that the city will surely have some day and it might as well be gone about now as after a time. Bemidji has fif- teen secret societies and a num- ber of local associations of vari- ous sorts and it is believed that the fraternity hall idea will meet with encouragement from sev- eral who need new quarters. The District Court. The present week will not wit- ness the wind-up of the calendar for -the present term of the dis- trict court as had been expected and it will require seyeral days next weelk to finish the calendar. The jury last night returned a verdict for the plaintiff in the case of John Daniclson vs. Charles Olson. The plaintiff sued for about forty dollars and secured a verdict of $1. Crawford and Langor appeared for the plain- tiff. Another action growing out of the same matter was tried this morning. The plaintiff and defendant were reversed and the case went to the jury before din- ner, This afternoon the case of C. H, Allenvs, Foy. & McKinnon, to-determine the validity of a mortgage was tried, and the famous cow case of Crawford vs. Thompson is the next thing on the calendar. The damage suit of W. H, Vail against the village of Tenstrike will come on for trial directly after the conclusion of this case. Back From California. Mr. ‘and Mrs. F. A, Mayo, who have been ‘spending the win- ter on the Pacific coast returned to the city last night and Mr, Mayo was a caller at the Pioneer office this afternoon. Mr. Mayo and family went to the coast to look the country over and to enjoy a rest and spent a delightful winter at Los -Angeles. Mr. Mayo likes the coast but he likes Bemidji better. He says the |business possibilities of this section are far and away ahead of anything in the coast country. Mr. Mayo returns much re- freshed from the trip. He has interests in Bemidji and at Tenstrike but has notyet de- cided- what he will do in the future. The Servant Girl Problem. Bemidji house wives are having the same‘trouble to secure ser- vant girls as the housewives of every city in the country, but in Bemidji it is impossible to secure a servant girl under any cosider- ation at present. Employment offices have found out long ago that thev could not fill the orders which they received and have gone of the this business entire- ly. Help for local hotels is scarce and a good servant girlis worth her weight in gold at any num- ber of places in Bemidji at pres- ent. A Grand Success.
