E1ks Lodge at Minot-District

E1ks Lodge at Minot-District
Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler, B. P.
.. E., Wm. e. Hunt OF Fargo has re-
ceived an official letter from Henry
"A. Melvin, Of Oakland, CAL, who is
the grand exalteds1uler .:of the Elks
stating that be has forwarded the
list of men bers for the proposed new
Elks lodge at .-Minot ITO the James
town lodge for the members there to
pass 1t at the, next meeting. AS
there probably will be no objections
there is every reason for believing
that Minot will receive permission to
90 ahead and organize the lodge, they
have been working so hard for sever
al months to secure.
There was question as to whether
Minot had a population Of 5000, this
being necessary in order to secure a
charter for such a lodge, but those
who were, working for the success of
the project have at last apparently
satisfied the grand exalted ruler that
Minot has more than that many in
habitants. There are three lodges Of
Elks in North Dakota; one at Fargo,
one at Jamestown, and the other at
Grand Forks.
