W. STANTON. THE ELK GHARITY BALL WILL BY GIVEN DEC. 1 Excellent Committee Appointed for Dance, Which Promises to Be a Very Successful Affair. The Bemidji lodge of Elks, No. 1052, will give their annual charity ball Friday night, December 11th, when the “horned brethren” will try to outdo any previous efforts of the kind ever attempted in Bemidji. The preliminary arrangements for the ball were discussed at a meeting of all the committees, which was held at the office of W. J. Markham last evening. Tkhe ball will be held at the city hall, and the following are the com- mittees appointed to condnct the affair: Executive Committee — J. O. Harris, J. C. Parker, W. J. Markham. Printing Committee.—A. G. Rut- ledge, A. B. Allen, W. N. Bowser. Decorating Committee—]. C. Parker, J. H. Foss, Bert Barker, A. L. Wyler, Eric Ives, Dr. Palmer. Music—E. H. Jerrard, A. P. White, W. L. Brooks. F. S. Lycan. Floor—Bert Barker, Oscar Ervig, W. L. Brooks, F. 8. Lycan, J. C. Covington. It is the intention to secure the very best musicobtainable, and inthe matter of decorating the hall, spec- ial effort will be made to transform the hall into a bower of beauty. The ball will be an invitation affair and some 300 “bids” will be sent out. Asthere are 126 members of the Bemidji lodge in good standing, there is assurance of a splendid crowd. The object of the ball is to pro- vide good cheer in the form of necessities for deserving families and individuals at about the holiday season. The Elks is one of the best orders in existence in the matter of charity, the acts of the order always being performed in secret, causing thankfulness for benefits derived from an unknown source. ‘The ball given last year was a very successful ~affair, and the charity which was extended was greatly appreciated. Forestry Officials in City. G. E. Marshall and George Farley of Cass Lake drove over from the ‘:Iiake" yesterday and spent last|. night in Bemidji, Mr. Marshall| desiring to sell the horse which he| brought aver. ¥ Mr. Marshall is the superintend- ent in charge of the U. S. Forest Service corps which has headquart- | ers at Cass Lake, and he has full| charge of the Minnesota National Forest Reserve. Mr. Marshall} states that there has recently been made a change in the arrangements | of the service, whereby there are| now four districts, with their own headquarters, Mr. Marshall being in the Denver district, and he makes, his reports direct to the officials at | Denver. Heretofore, all reports were sent to Washington, D. C; The new arrangement is said to work | very satisfactorily. Mr. Farley is one of the forestl rangers who are working under the direction of Mr. Marshall. Owns Townsite of Farris. J. W. Mackey, the veteran resident of Farris, was a visitor in Bemidji yesterday afterncon and last even- ing, having come over from his home on a business mission. Mr. Mackey purchased the town site of Farris from A. A. White, who formerly owned the place, and who| made a neat sum from selling lots there, in the eatly days. Farris was, for a couple of years, the real, live town in the Cass Lake country, but after the “‘squatters” on the ceded lands at the “Lake” once got a foot- hold and were able to hold their| land Farris began to go backward, with the result that today there are but a few scattering houses, and there never will be anything of a fair-sized village. Mr. Mackey has| done well at Farris. where he is interested in a lath mill, besides owning and operating a\fine farm, with a big herd of sheep. Norwegian Lutheran Services. Thanksgiving services will be held in the Norwegian Lutheran church tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock. The ladies of the church the | & afternoon and | will hold their annual bazaar in church tomorrow evening. Markham Thanksgiving Dinner.
