Elk Lodge Wanted
By Membess of Or
dz b Cuaa;sos

Last week the Elks Of the city Of
Gunnison gathered 10 bury one Of
their members; the order paid all
the respect and honor possible to the
memory Of the departed.
Very frequently it happens that
the Elks who live in or near Gunni-
son are called upon TO pay dues,
bury their dead, assist their poor on
sick, vet they never receive any ben
efts from the lodge they support
There are fifty two Elks in Gunni-
son alone and nearly three hundred
ia the county outside the city. They
have estimated that il they could
have a lodge here, atwenty thousand
dollar building could be erected
which would add to the beauty OF
the city and be genuinely useful.
There is a rule that no lodge can
be established in a city having d
population of less than five thousand
Arrangements have been made how
ever, whereby towns of less popula
tion have come to possess lodges
Gunnison should be one OF these
There is plenty of money here, there
are enough Elks and there is de
sire for the lodge.
