given last evening in the armory
of Company K and was greeted with
marked success.
The armory was prettily decorated
with the red, white and blue of the
national guard and excellent music
was furnished by the full band, COM
prised of twenty-eight pieces. dThe
music was suitable for the occasion
and was rendered in manner which
would have done credit to much
older band.
About forty couples took part in
the dances and the grand promen-
ade at IL o'clock, besides large
number of spectators were present
in the galleries. Everything went
off smoothly and the crowd was
decidedly of the best, .-.., r
~ The large armory floor is getting
into excellent shape and this place
will soon be one of the very best
dancing halls in this part of the
state. Everyone present certainly
enjoyed the dance and the band
boys were the recipients of many
compliments on the Inauguration of
these promenades and Dances. The
date of the next dance will be given
later.

Guiding the battery. Blazing was
put behind the bat, with Rutledge
pitching for five innings.
The felders of the Bemidji team
We'd with each other in falling
| over" the ball in the first inning.
The Minneapolis team got but
two safe hits in this inning and
should have been shut out without
a run in the initial round, but
bingles, wild throws and muffs
allowed the Minneapolitians o
score seven runs, Rutledge striking
out the last man.
After the first inning, the game
was more even, and the Minneapolis
players did not hit to any extent.
But for the bum" work in the
field on the part of Bemidji, the
game would have been very close, as
but four safe hits were made against
Rutledge, and Stewart, who pitched
the last two innings allowed but
three.
The Minneapolis team had Thei-
Ian, one of the best semi-perfes-
sional twirlers of the twin cities, in
the box, with Geist, catcher of
note, who has played with Melrose
all summer, behind the bat, The re-
mainder of the team has played all
this season and were. in good condi-
ton
Had the original team played
with Bemidji that had been selected,
there is but little doubt that Bemid il
would have had the long end of the
score.
The St. Cloud Jorrnal-Press said
of the ball game:
Scribe Rutledge of the Bemidji
Pioneer was on the mound for his
team, while Thielan did the honors
for Minneapolis. At that youngster
Thielan didn't have it on we editor.
Not much. Although the rooters
expected that Rutledge's arm would
prove about as effective as a dried
up cornstalk after November frost,
and cruelty told him so, he soon
showed that he was there with bells
on.
But four safe bingles did the big
cityites procure off his delivery, but

BEM1DJI ELKS MADE FINE
SHOWING AT STATE MEET
Bemidji Elks, Returning Home This Morning. Toll of
Splendid Time at St. Cloud.-Minnesota Gets Next
Convention.-Armson Elected President.

The members of Bemidj lodge, No.
1852, B. P. O. E. returned this morn.
ing from St. Cloud. where they at
tended the fifth annual reu MON and
meeting of the State Association of
Elks.
The boys occupied private
sleeper which had been set out for
them, and they apparently enjoyed
their trip and visit in the Granite
City, to the utmost.
An advance returning delegation
returned home last evening, after
participating in the parade yester-
day forenoon, these being Secretary
M. S. Gillette, George Blazing,
Thomas Stewart and D. G. Miller.
They decided to curtail their stay
at St. Cloud.
As a whole, the Bemidji Elks
speak well of the meeting held at
St. Cloud, although there appeared
to be lack of concerted effort on
the part of members of the St. Cloud
Elks to make all of the visitors feel
at home. This was not noticeable
to any extent, but some of the
Bemidji Elks complain slightly that
they might have received a warmer
welcome.
St. Cloud asa whole, and more
especially her hustling Elks, did
nobly in entertaining the members
of the Minnesota State Association
of Elks, on the occasion of the fifth
annual meeting and reunion of the
members of the association.
The various committees did every
thing possible to extend a hearty
welcome to the visitors and the
ladies did their allotted part with
an efficiency that was truly remark
able, under the direction of Mrs.
M. B. Taylor, the chairman.
The Bemidji Elks had fine time;
and Bemidji was given a great
boom" by the live wires" who
represented 1852.
The baseball game played Thurs
day afternoon between the Mime
apolis Elks' team and the crippled
team representing Bemidji Lodge,
No. 1852, was won by the Mill
City, bunch, who had fine team in
the field, the score being II to 6.

TRIP TO POWER Dam
is DELIGHTFUL JAUNT
Dam Furnishes Big and Cheap Power
With Which to Operate Local
Industries. u T.

through this section of many beauti.
full and picturesque lakes, streams
and wooded shores, is that which is
being taken daily by many summer
visitors to Bemidji-across Lake
Bemidji and down the Mississippi
river some eleven miles to the dam
which has been erected across the
river by the Beltrami Electric Light
& Power company. III +
Any of the many gasoline launches
which ply the waters of Lake Be-
midi can make the trip to the dam
and as there are high banks at
many points enroute picnicking is
the order of the day along the river.
The visit to the dam shows most
complete power plant; one that is
working in perfect order and is
furnishing, very acceptably, power
with which to operate the different
manufacturing industries which are
located in Bemidji.
1t took over year of hard work to
complete the dam across the river
and install the machinery, which is
very complete in every detail. :
The dam affords twenty-five
hundred horsepower, . which IS
generated, by the machinery, 100
of which is available at all times.
There are two sets of water wheels,
which give the same power night
and day. There is a 27-foot hea d
of water on at the dam, which is the
real source of the power. This
power is generated at the dam and
transmitted to Bemidji over a line
of wires which are nine miles in
length. This power furnishes the
different motors which run the
electric light plant and several other
manufacturing industries in this city.
At the present time the company
is utilizing 500-horsepower, but in
the winter 700 horsepower are used
to supply the electric-light plant
and the wants of the different local
manufactures.
Roy Hanks is in charge of the
plant at the dam as the engineer and
F. M. Hickerson of6ciates at night.
Both are competent men and give
most excellent satisfaction.
In addition to running the electric
light plant in this city and the other
manufactures here the power at the
dam supplies the sawmill which is in
the charge of John johnson, who
employs ten men. This mill does
custom saving and has recently com.
pleted saving 100000 feet of lumber
for w. G.. Schroeder of this city.

second and third each tell the

"On the other hand the younger
representatives of the Minneapolis
tribe, the marrow of whose bones
was not as yer evaporated, gamboled
about the diamond like regulars.
Thielan's pitching was too much for
the aged batting eyes of the Bemidji
tribe to solve and he let them down
with two measly little scratch hits.
Errors back of him, however, gave
the clan of Rutledge six runs"
The social session which was
given Thursday night was one of
the finest things of the kind in the
history of Elkdom in Minnesota.
Hon. Ripley Brewer presided as
chairman, and the various speeches
and stunts were of a high order.
AL" Jester of Bemidji gave
several stories and was compelled,
by tremendous cheering, to give his
famous telephone story"
There was a fair-sized. crowd in
the city and the Elks were owners
of St. Cloud.
The parade yesterday was a fine
display of Elk colors and efficiency
in marching. The St. Cloud band
played very acceptably, and the
Granite City, Elks were out over
100 strong. There were Elks in line
from St. Paul, Minneapolis, Fergus
Falls, Brainerd and Bemidji, besides
general bunch" made of represent
tatives from different lodges.
The Bemidji Elks, with their fine
banner, and clad in their uniforms
of white and purple, made splendid
showing.
In the afternoon the crowd was
taken for a ride to the state re-
formatory and shown through that
institution, after which the St..
Cloud Elks defeated the Little
Falls Elks, by scsre of 5 to 2.
The grand ball in the evening
closed the convention.
The following were the officers
elected for lns=ensu1ng year, att the
