PARADE IS
A feature
Full of General Public Interest.
Carroll's Steeds Attract Much
fAttention. Institution Ball
at the Armory Tonight.

AS far as the.eeheral public was con-
cesned, about all of the program that
could be seen. was the parade and
bucking broncho contest yesterday and
the institution ball this evening. Most
of the other entertainment was for the
Elks only. The arrival of the special
train was made an: exciting event and
the platform and streets were crowded
with people when it pulled in.
A bucking broncho contest was held
on Willard street before the parade and
was witnessed by big crowd of people.
Three cowboys, Bill McCarty of Mikkel
son. Archie Belden from this county,
and T. E. Mix, celebrated rider from
Oklahoma. figured in broncho busting.
The former enjoyed nice quiet ride on
the back Of real spry one. the second
rode lively broncho for several rods
and then decided that the walking was
good where the ice was too much for the
horse, while the gentleman from Okla
homa gave good exhibition of the stay
ing qualities of real westerner.
The parade was formed at the armory
shortly after three O'Clock. The only
disagreeable feature was snow storm
which Get in just before the parade
began and lasted only short while
after the ranks had been broken. In
spite Of, the storm, the parade was very
good and big crowds of people were on
the streets. The line of march was
packed with spectators and everything
went of smoothly.
The following was the line Of march.
Armory. up Hannaford street to Barney,
to Cross, thence to Willard. up Willard
| to clough, then to Oakes, down Cakes to
Eannaford and back to the armosy.
Some of the features were very good.
The parade was headed by P. j. Pelis-
sier, j. NJ. Watson and Willis Pelissier.

Echoes From the EIks

The badges and canes which were
presented the visitors as souvenirs of
the occasion deserve special mention
The badges were especially attractive
with the words Dickinson, No. 1137''
and Guest in the colorA Suspended
from the bars bearing these words is a
medallion on which is an elk head.
The whole is mounted on purple ribbon.
Canes with bows of ribbon were also
given out The work was done by Mrs.
Will Carroll and Mrs Lloyd RAIDER who
made about 100 canes and 800 badeesL
The music Of the two bands was the
subject of much commendation: Both
the Mandan and Dickinson organize
tions gave excellent satisfaction and
played at intervals throughout the after
noon and evening.

NATIONAL
HISTORY
Elks Less Than Fifty Years Old,
Established in All States. Nat
ional Officers. Elks in
North Dakota.

The Benevolent. Protective Order of
Elks was first instituted in 1868 and the
first lodge was chartered in New York
City. The second branch was instituted
in Philadelphia. Since that time 1,135
lodges have been organized in the 40
years, and every state in the Union is
represented, as well as Alaska. Hawaii,
Porto Rico and the Philippines.
The objects of the order are to incul-
cate the principles of Charity: Justice,
Brotherly Love and Fidelity; to promote
the welfare and enhance the happiness
of its members to quicken the spirit of
American patriotism; to cultivate good
fellowship; to perpetuate itself as a
fraternal organization and to provide
for its government
Few are aware that its membership
was originally confined to the theatrical
profession but at the present time all
professions and honorable activities are
included on it's rolls and many men dis
tinguished in public and private life
are prominent Elks. One of its features
is a very beautiful Memorial service for
it's departed members, held annually on
the first Sunday in December.
In North Dakota the first lodge was
instituted at Grand Forks about 20 years
ago and the Dickinson lodge makes the
sixth in the state. The different organ
izations are Grand Forks No. 255. Fargo
No. 260, Jamestown No. 995, Valley
City No. lilo, Minot No. 1859, and
Dickinson No. 1887. All are in q
flourishing condition, ofice1ed by capable
members and all with considerable
money in their treasuriea
The Grand Lodge officers are: Grand

Quinlivan interested others in the plans
and took the first steps necessary to es-
tablish lodge here.
To obtain a charter. place must
have over 5000 inhabitants The
latest census of Dickinson was not very
up-to-date so the city council was inter-
viewed and arrangements were made for
a special census taking. The expense
of the work was met by subscription
among the Elka 1t was found that
there were '5,03S people in Dickinson
and so application was made to the
national lodge of Elks for charter. It
was necessary that the question of grant
ing charter be passed upon by the
other lodges in this. district. including
jamestown Lodge No. e95 and Minot
Lodge No. 1928. No objections were
raised and the charter was granted.
Applications were received for member
ship in large numbers The list of
charter members had to be approved,
not only by the national lodge but also
by Minot lodge, the branch :of the order
nearest to Dickinson.
The first date set for the institution
was October is but owing to some mis-
understanding the time was postponed
until Friday, November@13..~A A. second
ppstpoAement was made for various
reasons, to December 4. Az this date
came on the Friday previous to the Elks
memorial Sunday and the two events
would conflict, final change was made
to December II.
Dickinson Lodge No. 1887. B. P. o.

other lodges for some time and were

LOTS OF KANSAS PEOPLE
WANT TO CONE TO CANON

c. w. Talbot returned home Thurs
day afternoon from La Crosse, Kansas
whittier he accompanied his wife and
daughter the first OF the week for the
purpose Of eating turkey and plum
pudding Christmas at the old home.
Mr.. Talbot says Kansas Is covered
with a blanket of snow from the Colo
RADIO line to the Missouri river, its av-
erage depth being something like
twelve inches. Farmers down there,
he says. are prosperous and are SELL
ing their wheat at from eighty-hve
cents to dollar a bushel. Corn is also
abundant and commands a good price,
In consequence OF which everybody Is
feeling mighty good. The growing
wheat never looked better at this sea-
son Of the year than 1t does now and
the people are anticipating big yield
again next year. In spite OF the general
prosperity In the Sunhower state Mr.
Talbot says he Is glad to get back to
Canon City. which has a charm dis
tinctly its own. There are ten or a
dozen families OF people in La Crosse,
according to Mr.. Talbot. that are COM
ing to Canon City to reside as soon as
they can dispose of their property in
terests there. Mrs. Talbot and daugh-
ter remained In Kansas for a more ex-
tended visit.

THE BIG BEAVER PARK
TUNNEL Is NOW COMPLETED

Beaver Park Is fast showing the ex-
tensive improvements that is now un-
der way by The Beaver Land and Ir-
rigation company.
The 1000 foot tunnel is now COM
pleted and a great many of the pros
pective purchasers In the last few
days walked through from one end of
the tunnel to the other.
The Holme, Allen Co., Of Denver,
have four car loads of slaves for the
14OO foot pipe line now on the ground
and will be laying pipe by January
first at the rate of six hundred feet a
day and expect to have the entire
line completed by February first This
means water will be in the canal by
February 18th.
Many eastern people are numbered
among the recent purchasers of land.
among the most prominent being Mr..
C. B. Sherwood and Mr.. ]. S. Cook,
of Rockford, Illinois: Emil Martsens.
of Edwards, Wis, and John Lepley,
of New Castle, Ohio. 1t is the inten-
ton of these gentlemen to move to
Fremont county before February to
make this their future home. 1t looks
now as though the entire 400 acres
will be sold out before the last of
March, which means Canon will derive
many benefits.

FINE CHRISTMAS PROGRAM
At FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH

A musical program of unusual ex-
cellence was given at the First
Christian church at o'clock Sunday
afternoon under the direction of Mrs.
Elvira Jones Hunley in commemora-
ton of the Christmas season. The
church was crowded by an Interested
and appreciative audience Of people
representing the various religious or
ganizations OF the city, the assem-
blage being one of the largest of the
kind since the beginning OF the Christ
mas festivities. After a brief, but elo-
quent, address by Pastor Hunley the
following numbers were rendered:
Chorus-"Once in Royal Davids
City."-Steeie.
Reading.
Hymn-"while Shepherds Watched
Their Flock by Night"
Prayer.

limbs, or II the start was made with
five. there will be forty limbs. This
will be enough to satisfy anyone and
meets the objections sometimes raised
that this system does not provide a
sufficient amount of top. In practice 1t
is doubtful If forty limbs will ever be
left, but judgment must be used In
this respect.
Some have found that such pruning
during the early life of tree retards
Its time of coming into bearing. This
need not be 80, however. In fact, fruit
may be had just as soon, and fruit
spurs may be had more nearly where
they are wanted. When a young limb
is headed back, most of the buds will
start into vigorous growth. II now
these side growths are cut back to a
single bud, particularly In the summer
time, many of them will form fruit
buds.
Apple trees have been particularly in
mind In the above discussion, but the
principles will apply to all fruit trees.
Open centered trees have also been dis
cussed for the reason that they are
considered best. II one prefers a tree
with central leader, the training IL
much the same, except that at the first
pruning the uppermost branch is left
longer, upon which Is developed what
amounts to a second top.

LOCAL NIMRODS WANT

Captain B. F. Rockafellow wants the
Record TO make plea for the protec-

The birds, as IL we'll known. are .

OF their great insect-destroying pro-
clivlties, yet they are often, II 10 said,
rathlessly slain by ignorant boys or

that in consideration of the great bene-
fits that will accrue to the city by the
utilization of the grade alluded to as
public driveway that Warden Cleg-
horn will again come forward with
proposition to build 1t, provided the
city will supply everything required in
the way of material for doing so. Such
proffer on the part of Mr.. Cleghorn
would make the public doubly in
debted to him and would earn for him
their everlasting gratitude.
Where entrance would be had to the
contemplated roadway is, of course,
purely conjecture, as that would be
matter to be determined by the engi-
neer in charge, but 1t is probable that
it would be near the last entrance to
the tunnel, on the opposite side of the
river from the Hot Springs hotel. To
use the grade further down would
necessitate the building of bridge ac-
cross gap in the grade, some four or
five hundred y rds east of the first
tunnel, which 1t is estimated would
cost about $4,000. For a distance Of
two miles and half after entering the
Royal Gorge but very little work would
be required to put the road in first
class condition and to longer neglect
the opportunity of using it for that
purpose would be regrettable to say
the least. The grade of the old state
ditch up through the Royal Gorge is
an asset hitherto unknown by the peo-
pie of Canon City, but in the awaken
ing now coming its value will be real
lied and 1t will be made to contribute
its share to the growth and expansion
of the community. 1t Is only because
Canon City has SO many other beauti-
full localities about her that nothing
has been done toward utilizing the
grade of the state ditch as a public
drive. A town with a less attractive
environment would have made the
most of 1t years ago and would have
achieved a well-earned fame there
from.
