In the presence Of large number
Of Elks and their ladies'. from all
portions of the Northwest, the magni-
ficent new Elks' Home was dedicated
Friday afternoon with ceremonies
fitting and impressive. Exalted Ruler
Palda at 4 o'clock that afternoon
called to order for the first time in
their new home, Minot Lodge. No.
1889. B. P. o. e.. and preparations
were made at once for the dedicatory
ceremony.
Y Gov. Burke, who had been secured
% orator Of the occasion, could not
be present, and Judge N. Davis of
sIinot was substituted. The judge is
remarks were witty and to the point,
.>,ad very fitting for the occasion.
At the conc usion of the ceremon-
iss. the building was opened to the
Elks and their friends, hundreds Of
whom were shown through the Home.
Prominent women of Minot, as fol-
i0ws, were in the reception line: M-s.
danes Slocum, Storey, Dlnnie, Park

match perfectly. The ladies' recep-
tion room is bower of Ioveliness.
The fixtures are. the very latest and
could not be surpassed in elegance.
The home lighted at night, is bril-
liant in appearance both from the ex-
terror and the interior. The lodge
room is of immense proportions, and
here will the social dancing parties
be held. The basement will be the
scene of many happy gatherings, for
here are located the pool and billiard
tables, the gymnasium and the show
er baths. The building was construct
ed by H. A. Hurd, who is receiving
all kinds of compliments for it's per-
lection. 1t might be said that the
architect, MIR. woodruff, likewise put
his who soul into his part Of the
work, and between the two, the Home
was constructed. a little cheaper than
the original plans cal ed for.
q The building of the Elks' home was
a gigantic undertaking, when one con-
siders what has been accomplished
since It was first decided to construct
such a building, less than two years
ago. The lot was first secured at a
cost of little more than six thousand
dollars. At that time, the associa-
tion possessed less than 500 to apply
on the same. The members soon
subscribed sufficient amount to pay
for the lot and then went about to
secure plans for the Home. They
knew that If the right KIND of Home
was once built, the members would
see that it would be paid for, and
time has proved that those deductions
were correct. The Elks' Home is
valued at $4,000 and the Indebtedness
is slight, in, comparison. Within half
an hour Saturday night, subscriptions
to the amount Of $4,000 were secured
and il more is needed at any time; the

John Bruegger is one of the best

never been known to shirk his duty IN

ing his business career at the ag., of

dealing, he has gradually pushed his

The Minot Elks' Home has been
pronounced by many who are COMP
tent to Judge to be the very best build
ing of it's kind in the state. Those who
attended the ceremonies were prepar-
ed to see a comfortable home, but
were simpy astounded when they
were admitted to the magnificent
building, perfect in arrangement, in
construction and in it's every appoint
ment. A description of the Home
would be almost futile on our part. To
fully comprehend its magnificence one
must visit the building. Everywhere
are evidences Of richness, comfort and
taste. The home has been fitted with
more than $4,000 worth of the best
aKarpen furniture, including easy
rockers, setees, etc. Great logs were
burning in the: two immense: brick

and the card room a positive degree

1t will bring the total cost up to about
three millions.
As to the value Of silage on the
farm the following can be said: It
IL easily stored and keeps we'll when
well-stored. 1t harvests the corn when
it is at its fullest development. The
stock. especially the cows, thrive on
1t. 1t is succulent feed and makes
milk. There is no waste to 1t when
properly handled This also is true
of the corn crop when harvested. 1t
is tho very best solution of the prob
lem which faces the farmer during
the short-pasture period Of the sum-
mer months.
It still pays to raise horses. and the
value Of the horse flesh In this coun-
try is no small item. An estimate
made the first Of last year placed the
number Of horses In the United States
at 1892 900, and they are worth q
total Of 1885,. $4,000. or an average
Of 1891 each. During the succeeding
year. ending January 1. 1909, the mum.
Der Of horses had increased to 90
10000: their value had advanced
more than 800. 000. 900 to the sum Of
| $1,S74 .052 900. and the average price
was 1854. or @223 more than the
previous year.

WALLACE. Idaho. Jan. 13.-The
matter of a franchise for an electric
streetcar line in the city limits. on
petition Of the company which is pro-
jecting the Spokane-Coeur d'Alene
electric line, is again up for consider
alton by the city council and Is being
discussed with much interest by cit
liens.
A little more than a year ago the
council granted a franchise to the
company. through its representative.
w. J. Hall. who is prominently con-
nected with the Federal Mining &
Smelling company. Under its terms
this franchise was subject to forfeit
ure for noncompliance with the pro-
visions regarding the commencement
of work.
Mr.. Hall is seeking a renewal. or.
rather. a substitute franchise. and
the members OF the city council have
agreed to meet representatives Of the
company and discuss the matter in
connection with the present plans.
1t is understood Mayor ToOle and
the majority. II not all. of the mem
bers OF the council, are favorable to
granting the franchise and interviews
with leading business men warrant a
belief that favorable action on the
petition win be approved. even II the

In securing the right Of way. Assur-
anee Is given that II Wallace extends
