 BE ENTERTAlNED-PLANs OUT.

This instruction from the lodge was carried out yesterday by the trustees and Selma Lodge No. 167 IS the owner of a lot fronting 120 feet on the south side of Water street, be- ginning at the southwest intersection of Lauderdale. The price paid for the lot was $225O, and on 1t the Elks propose to erect a building with three floors at cost of not less than $15,OOO.
 The plan in the minds of the Ellls lS lO SldTl lIle CluD room IOOT aDOul i've feet from the sidewalk on Water street. On this floor will be the parlors, pool and billiard rooms. reading rooms, etc. On the floor above will be the lodge room where large entertainments will be given. There is to be a so-called basement floor which will be about ten feet down from side walk level It Is not, however a basement as on the rear side and the two ends there is no obstruction and i.ght and ventilation can be secured.

 The building is expected to be 80 by 45 feet and large veranda will be put in the rear where during the long sum mer afternoons the members may sit and read and enjoy the cooling breezes that come over the river. As only 80 feet of the lot is to be occupied by the building there will be 40 feet in the clear, making insurance rates cheap.
 The Elks are to be congratulated on securing the piece of property and that part of Water street will enhance in value to no small extent when their beautiful building Is erected
