DEDICATION P[ ANS
BY J ELKS !! |!
MIssouLA LODGE MAKES READY
FOR NEW TEMPLE AND CON-
MiTTEEs ARE NAMED.

The Flks' lodge room was not large
enough last night to contain the mem
bers who were present to discuss the
plans for the dedication of the new
building which Is scheduled for New
Years day. There were half hum
dred applications read last night from
prospective members and there was
the greatest enthusiasm ever known
in an Elks' meeting here. The plans
for the dedication have been outlined
and approved and 1t remains now to
look after the details. These We're
placed in good hands and it is a safe
prediction that there will be one of
the largest crowds in Missoula on Jam
uary l, that has ever attended any
ceremony of this sort in the state.
The last of the furniture for the
building arrived yesterday, except the
carpet for the lodge room. which is
expected in a fortnight. There are
more than 400 yards in this carpet
and it is some job to get it ready.
The furnishings Of the lodge room.
the clubrooms and the library are
from the house of Karpen, supplied
through the Missoula Mercantile COM
pany. The building committee yester-
day bought the furnishings for the
sleeping apartments and other rooms
from submitted samples and competi-
tive bids. After examination, the
contract was awarded to the Missoula
Mercantile company. The work of in
stalling the furniture will be started
| today 1t is expected that every
! thing will be ready by the second
week in December.
The plans for the dedication include
the formal ceremonies in the lodge
room: the inspection Of the other
rooms and the enjoyment of their COM
fort during the afternoon and early
evening. The great store room which
covers the entire ground floor. will
be fitted up for ball room and beau
tifully decorated. Here the dedica-
ton ball will be held at night. 1t
promises to be the most brilliant func-
tion ever held in Missoula. The
room Is fine, the crowd will be great
and the arrangements will be carefully
made
At midnight there will be banquet
| in the basement. Tables will be laid
to fill the entire space of this big
room. more thar a thousand people
| will be seated there and the dinner
| promises to be a memorable occasion.

tion. Exalted Ruler Rhoades has
