Pryor This board met after the SEES
sion OF the lodge Friday night and
elected the following officers for the
coming year: T. J. Pryor, president
F. Teichman vice president, and
Chas. Feuchter Jr., secretary and
treasurer.
The intention OF the new organiza-
ton, as expressed. Is to proceed /
eisurely in the matter of securing
funds as the lodge is amply provided /
with handsome and most convenient
quarters under lease for four years
from January LIST. The only objection |
u the present quarters is the limited I
rrom. which the new arrangement
will overcome. for 1t is proposed to
erect a building approximately 50x100
eet. three or more stories in height I
Il order to make the building self, 4
ii Is probable that cen
ro In cft xsrtIl ~ ,xrtf n
he first story of the building de
'oted to modern store rooms Elk
ensive club accommodations will be
lovided and 1t is the intention Il
make the lodge rooms the finest in
his part of the country. It is also
ossible that one or more stories OF
ffice suites will constitute an i'm
ortant part Of the building and
airo's first office sky-scraper may at
sst become a reality.
There are at present no building
ties unoccupied that are regarded
s suitable to the character of build
,g planned but the new company as
acquires its funds will be prepared
. take advantage of any opportuni-
es that may offer. The local mem.
ers of the order are all very en-
lusiastic as to the possibilities of
heir plan and there is no question
ut that the most important edifice
( this kind in this section will be
ne result. That it will be a credit
, Cairo lodge and its two hundred
nd sixty-fve members and to its
ONE city is an assured fact.
