The spring opening held at the Berman Emporium on Wednesday, March 16, surpassed anything ever held by that or any other store in our city during the past. This store is fast becoming recog- nized as one of the leading dry- goods emporiums in the northwest. The store on the opening day was jammed from door to door with visitors from out of town. The store displayed a splendid line of new spring suits and other spring garments which received favorable comment from all inspectators. Miss Josephine Ovri is to be given much credit for her decora- tions. She very ably planned the decorations for this opening and received many congratulations at the splendid work and its appearance. Thursday, the day after the open- ing was even as well attended as the opening day because all of those attending on Wednesday advertised its beauties and decided successful- ness to those not attending. The store’s business far exceeded that of any previous year. Notice. If colored Jennie, the cook, is in Bemidji, address box 51, Baudette, Minn. Subscribe for the Pioneer. *| years. LOCAL B. P. 0. E.

Elks, held their annual election of officers last might and initiated two “fawns,” the meeting being one of the most successful in the history of the lodge. The election of an exalted ruler resulted in the unaniomous choice, without opposition, of J. O. Harris, register of deeds of Beltrami county, who has acted as esteemed lecturing knight of the lodge for two terms. The choice of Mr. Harris as leader of the Bemidji lodge met with hearty applause, as there is no more popular Elkin northern Minnesota than he. Mr. Harris has lived in Bemidji for seven years, coming here from Tenstrike, and previous to that time, he resided at Superior, Wis. The remainder of the officers were chosen s follows: J. C. Parker esteemed leading knight; A. A. Andrews, esteemed lecturing knight; Ollie Neilson, esteemed loyal knight; M. S. Gillette, secretary; J. L. George, treasurer; A. A, Carter, tiler; W. E. Neal, trustee for three There was opposition but for one office, that of secretary, Mr. Gillette being re-elected. J. 0. HARRIS, Elected Exalted Ruler Bemidji Lodge, No. 1052.

Lycan, the retiring exalted ruler, was chosen as delegate to the national convention to be held at Detroit, Mich., in July, with E., H.. Jerrard, past exalted ruler, as alternate, and both brothers will undoubtedly attend the meeting.
