> Bemldl, Elks' State Convention sm and 20. m July Bemidjl, 27--ug. VOLUME 6. NUMBER 10. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 30, 1908. LOCALELKS ARE WORKING HARD FOR STATE MEETING The Several Committees Are Working Together Harmon- iously, and Visiting Elks and Their Ladies Will Be Royally Entertained June 18-19-20. GRANVILLE S, PEASE, President of the Minnesota State Assaciation of Elks, Owner of the Anoka Union, and One of the Finest Old Bill Bucks in the Entire Northwest. That the Elks of Minnesota and their ladies will be royally enter- tained at the fourth annnal meeting of the State Association of Elks, which will be held in Bemidji June 18-19-20 is assured by the various local committees having the arrange- ments in charge, an elaborate pro- gram having already been arranged, and the committees on accomoda- tions reporting that already there are enough rooms and sleeping ap- partments assured to care for all who may desire to be present at the great- est gathering of Elks ever held in the state. A largely-attended meeting of the chairmen of the various committees, was held last evening, at which reports were made to the mem- bers of the executive committee, showing that the work being done by the committees is being handled in an intelligent and thorough man- ner indicating a fine working organi- zation that assures the success of the meeting, Letters have been received from G. S. Pease of Anoka, president of the State Association, and N. S. Nelson of Stillwater, secretary, in which they assure the co-operation of themselves and all Elks in the state. Already these officers have extended official invitations to the members of every lodge in the state to attend the meeting to be held here, and while there are two lodges that are not members of the asso- ciation, it is expected that these organizations will join before the dates of the state meeting. The committee on transportation reported that all agents of railroads centering here, together with their representatives in St. Paul, were co- operating with the local committees in the matter of furnishing equip- ment and accommodations while in Bemidji, and that that part of the program was well taken care of, assuring all visitors the best of accommodations coming here and while here. A special effort will be made to care for the ladies who will accom- pany the Elks to Bemidji. Mrs. J. C. Parker, one of the most enthusiastic of the local lady Elks, has been given full charge of the arrange- ments to care for the lady visitors. She has been given liberal funds and authorized to secure all needed assistance. All ladies who come will be as royally entertained as will the Elks themselves. While the program for the three days of the meeting has not yet been prepared in its entireity, enough has already been decided upon to have “something doing”’ every minute of the three days and a large portion of the nights of the meeting. The local committee has closed a contract with the proprietors of the boat company whereby every boat belonging to that concern will be chartered for the free use of visiting Elks and ladies so that they can enjoy fishing and boating to their heart’s content at any time they desire to use the boats. There will also be plenty of gaso- line launches which, with the row- boats and plenty of fishing tackle, bait and guides, will give the Elks all they desire in that line. The commiitee on sports has al- ready secured the famous Hibbing baseball team to play here on the 18 and 19 of June, the first and second days of the meet. The Bemidji team will be strengthened by professional players from the league teams of St. Paul and Minneapolis and will be an organization formidable enough to give the range team some very strong games. On the last day of the meeting it is expected some other teams will play, probably from the twin cities, which will give the people the best baseball games ever pulled off in the north half hf the state. One of the features of the meet will be the presence of a large band of Red Lake Indians, who will give dances and boat races, etc., every THOMAS GETS TWO YEARS C. E. Thomas, who forged a check for $97.75 in the name of G. B. Thompson and was apprehended by Sheriff Bailey at Duluth, plead guilty this afternoon before Judge Stanton and was sentenced to two years at hard labor at Stillwater. d day. They will be camped along’ the lake shore and will exemplify the “noble Red men” in all their savagery and gaudy dress. A large crowd of Elks and other visitors not members of the B. P, O. E. is expected in the city during the state meet and the members of the Bemidji lodge are making prepara- tions to care for every person who visits this city at that time, so that no one need fear coming to Bemidji June 18, 19 and 20 because of lack of accomodations. There will be plenty of room for all, Local news on last page Mill Checks Cashed Where Would You Rather Trade At the one price store, or at the store that glves a discount te about half of their customers on one pre- text or another. the ONE PRICE TO ALL SYSTEM.

C. L. Decker has received a letter from Ike Lederer, one of the best Elks in the state, in which the popu- lar traveling salesman states that he is feeling fine since he returned from his southern trip and has again set foot on the streets of St. Paul. Ike was taken very ill last winter, and at one time it was believed that he would surely pass to the great beyond. He was sent to Mineral Wells, Texas, where his stay appears to have greatly benefited his health. Led erer has many staunch friends in this north country, and they will all be pleased to learn that his health has improved. Al e Schroeder & Schwandt Dissolve Part- nership.
