FINE TRIBUTE FOR BEMIDJI AND THE LOCAL ELK LODGE The ‘“Purple Book” Boosts Bemidji and Predicts Great “Doings” When the State Association, B. P. 0. E., Holds Its Annual Meetinq Here Next Summer. (The following excellent article, anent the doings of Bemidji Elks and the action which they are tnking‘! relative to the holding of the state convention in this city next summer, Hunt, and was printed in the last issue of the “Purple Book,” the veryexcellent magazine published by Mr. Hunt.) Do it now, is the motto that Be- | midji business men see on a card on their desks every morning. On n' tab used to jolt their memories also | is a line, “attend to that Elk associa- tion matter today.” And so with| some forty odd Elks with the same thought, arrangements for the State Elks’ association meeting to be held there next summer are already under way. Cities in which this meeting has been held heretofore have con- tented themselves with waiting until ! two months before the event was to be pulled off to start the committee out. Notso Bemidji. No sooner had the delegation returned from | Stillwater that the work was taken | up, and before the snow is off the ground next spring every detail will | have been attended to. Already it is known that all boats, | launches and small steamers on beau- tiful Lake Bemidji will be free to visitors. Plans are to make it prac- tically impossible for delegates and strangers to spend any money for the the pleasures usually on the excess | list. ~There will be ~carriage rides | about the shores of the lake, theatri- cal entertainments, daily concerts by the best bands in the country, and every form of entertainment that the ingenious bunch can devise. They? are simply determined to make the | occasion a memorable one to every“ Elk who attends, and to send .each| visitor away happy, and —a booster for Bemidji. You have no idea, Bill, what a charming little city Remidji is until you have seen it. The lake of which its people make so much, is dotted of a summer evening with rowing and sailing craft. Moonlight on its is no excuse for him. Capyright 1907 The House of Kuppenheimer Chicago Kuppenheimer Suits and Overcoats are always up-to-date in style and are always all-wool in quality.

Antic- ipating a large crowd, and with the object of affording comfort to every visitor next summer, the committee expects to install on the lake shore several hundred |waterproof tents, which will be equipped with kitchen, dining and sleeping room accommo- dations. There is not a delegate who will not appreciate this splendid idea, affording them, as it will, a week’s outing where trees fringe the water and where fishing is always good.

Decker has passed out a few applications, and declares that Be- midji lodge must have 200 members by April 1. Well, it can be done, and there are some good ones up at International Falls and vicinity that need the kindly offices of Elkdom. Bro.

Discussion of Bemidji as a state | convention town is going on, and it { is probable that Duluth and Superior Elks will join in a special train proposition. It has been stated by several Duluth Elks that Bemidji will draw a larger attendance than any city in the state, and it will not be surprising if Duluth'alone sends {200 to 300. This can easily be done, and during the winter meetings more definite action will be taken. It is estimated by Elks over the north that the attendance at Bemidji will average 2,000 per day for every day the state-association is in ses- sion. ‘The boys have not yet ceased thanking Bros.

The design is beautiful, and in view of the fact that the tooth has been temporarily discarded, will attract attention in Elkdom wherever shown. - R — Purchased Kelliher Business Block.

LOSES WAY IN FOREST While on Her Way Home is Overtaken by Darkness.---Does Not Wander. Mizpah, Oct. 7.— (Special to Pioneer)—Mrs. Netzel who lives near this place had a very trying and exciting experience a few days ago. Last Sunday evening while going to her home shewas lost in the woods near town, and being over taken by darkness_she wandered for some time, and was unable to locate her- self at any time. At last she became resigned to her fate and did the sen- sible thing of waiting till . morning; rather than continue to wander, and become lost. Her friends became alarmed at her-absence, but were unable to find her by calling to her, and deeming a search fruitless in the dark waited until morning before starting a searching party out after her. They thinking she mighdhavegone to some to the neighbors. Mrs. Netzel returned in the morn- ing, none the worse for her long ex- perience, except the catching of a severe cold. She is very thankful that she had presence of mind enough to wait un- til morning and not to wander, She says she doesn,t care to repeat the experience and will always know the feeling of those who are unfortunate in getting lost in the swamps. Local news on last page GRAND RAPIDS FOOTBALL - TEAM TO PLAY BEMIDJI Local Team Will Try For Championship of Northwest.---Crookston Team Here the 19th. Next Saturday the local high school football team will play their second game of the season, on the home grounds with the team of the Grand Rapids high school. | | The boys have been practicing | hard and will in all probability be in excellent shape. Grand Rapids defeated Bemidji to the tune of 12 to 0,last year but the localboys expect to turn the table this year. There are several new players in the local team, among whom is “Bunk” Spider, who is being tried at end. Homdrom is being put in at tackle, but this is just temporary and the lot will be about the same as the Cass Lake game. A week from Saturday, the boys will play Crookston and if they de- feat the “Rapids” and Crookston, |they have an excellent chance to win the championship of northern Minnesota. Everybody should buy tickets to these games, as the prices are reasonable and the expense of getting visiting teams here is large. The line-up will probably be as follows: Breneman, c¢; Jackson, 1. g; Roberts, r. t; Homdrom, r. €; Spider, L g; Lycan, L. t; Kruse, L e; Shooks, o. b; Getchell, r. h; Carter, L h; Peterson, f. b; subs.
