ODD FELLOWS TO BUILD
AT BELTRAlNI AND FIFTH

Order of Old Fellows, north of where
their present hall is located, was sold
LAST week to A.: w. Scott of the Be-
midji Electric Co. The old hall
standing on the lot south was also
sold tc, Mr.. Scott. Mr. Scott is at
present occupying the building but
in as much as the lot upon which
the building stands now, lis owned by
the Peoples Oil company, the build
ing will be disposed OF in the near
future by Mr.. Scott.
Having disposed of all the property
which they owned betkeen Fourth
and Fifth street, the Odd Fellows
have decided to build their new hall
on the lots owned by them lon the
northwest corner Of Beltrami avenue
and Fifth street. 1t was the inten-
tion of the lodge at first to erect a
building 25-by lao feet, and to erect
it this fail. 1t is now probable that
a building so by 140 will be erected
on the Fifth street corner, but wheth-
er it will be erected this fall or not
has not been definitely decided upon.
If building operations are not started
thisJ summer or fall, an early start
will be made next spring and the

mer.
