A MOVE TOWARD BUILDING
Definite Steps Have Been Taken To.
ward Making Plans for the EIks'
New Home.

Monday evening the trustees Of
the building movement Of the Elks
held a meeting in the Mitchell Ma
tional bank for the purpose Of or
ganizing under a new charter which
had been received from Pierre during
the day, which will hereafter be
known as the Elks' Building Associa-
tion of Mitchell.
The following officers we're elected
for the first year:
President--Wm. M. Smith.
Vice President-H. E. Hitchcock.
Secretary-L. d. Milne.
Treasured. A. Mizener.
Directors-Thos. Fullerton, r. c.
Warne, Fred M. White, VIM. M. Her
bert, Louis Beckwith, George Like.
Arrangements were made to COM
mence raising the money for tho
erection of the Elks' home. which 10
to be located on their site on tho
corner of Main street and Fifth ave-
nue. east. 1t is the plan to sell GER
tificates in the sum Of $50 or any
multiple thereof, drawing interest at
the rate of five per cent, until $685.
900 has been raised, which will b
sufficient to complete the building.
A committee was recently put to work
to secure as many paid up life men,
berships in the lodge as possible az
n ro,1o1orc F1r tho Lv{11f-- r~oi1oA
and this has met with fairly good
success. 1t is desired to get at least
thirty life memberships at $3.50 and
half of that number has already been
secured.
The certificates will be sold to any
person outside Of the order as an
investment. The erection Of the
Elks' home will be a fine thing for
Mitchell, and it ought to appeal to
many men of means to assist in the
project by taking a certain number
of the certificates, enough at least
to help the good project on the way
toward completion. The members of
the Elks will be approached on the
building proposition and from the
enthusiasm which seems to prevail
among them they will meet the COM
mittee with a spirit of liberality for
which the Elks are particularly not
ed.
A campaign will be started i'm
mediately to increase the member
ship of this lodge and the boys want
to get in about twenty members a
week. At the present time the mem
5ership is composed Of about 100
members, and when it is taken into
consideration that the lodge was only
organized last February it is evident
that considerable work has been ac-
complished already in building up
the order to a great number.
Watertown has commenced on the
erection Of a new structure for the
Elks of that place and Huron Will
have one in a short time. Sioux Falls
has a good home for their members
and Aberdeen is now building up a
lodge membership that bids fair to
be one of the most enthusiastic in
the state.
