BIDS ASKED FOR ELKS
NEW LODGE BUILDING

Bids are being advertised this week
for construction of the Flagstaff Elks
lodge hall, to adjoin the Mansion
house, which the local Flagstaff lodge
recently bought from Charles ]. Bah
bitt and will convert into a home.
The plans for the new hall were
drawn by Captain ]. B. Wright,
Flagstaff city engineer, with the adj
vice of Joe P. Wilson and Dan Hogan,
the three comprising the building
committee.
They. are interesting plans. The
new structure, which will tie in with
the Mansion house, affording private
entrance from there in addition to the
public entrance from the outside of
the new building, will be of brick,
with red sandstone lintels and betting
courses, and limestone foundation. 1t
will be 42x93 feet in size. There will
be a basement under part of it. The
main floor will be four feet above
the ground line and the bottoms OF
the windows nine feet above the
ground.
The roof will be ornamental, cover
ed mainly with asbestos.
Otl IIc 1IldIH 1IOOI Will UC O tONSO
and ball room, 40x80 feet, with maple
floor and with movable rostrums at
either end, for use when lodge is in
session and to be removed when there
is dancing.
The new building will have lobby,
1Ox20, toilets 9x10 and 5x51a, locker
5x5, storeroom, etc.
1t is hoped to have the building
completed this summer. The Elks

house building in a very few weeks
now and get thoroughly settled in it
while the new auxiliary building is
being constructed.

IF THE GOAT SHOULD
TAKE IT INTO HIS HEAD
TO JUMP OVER EDGE

C.. NJ. Archer, exalted ruler of the
Elks lodge of Flagstaff, attended a
meeting of representative Elks of the
state at Grand Canyon on Saturday, at
which plans were laid for the program
of the state convention of Elks to be
held at Grand Canyon on July 2, 3
and 4.
There were more than dozen
prominent Elks from various parts of
the state at the meeting. 1t was de-
cided to give the forenoon of July 2
to the registration Of delegates and
visitors. Then, in the afternoon, will
come a general meeting, followed by
an illustrated lecture by Kolb broth
ers, at their studio, then by Indian
dances. In the evening there will be
an illustrated lecture in the music
room at the El Tovar, formal speeches,
music, etc.
On July 8 in the morning, the assoc
citation will have an open meeting and
sightseeing trips. In the afternoon
will be the final business meeting,
during which the ladies will have a
card part at the Ell Tovar. Then will
come Indian dances, an illustrated
lecture on the wonders of northern
Arizona and an informal ball.
But the big event of all will be the
initiation of new members. This will
take place at PowelPs Point, on the
brink of Grand Canyon, and will be-
gin one minute after midnight on the
morning of July A. 1t is felt that
those becoming members of this
strictly American order will appre-
.ciate the privilege of doing so at that
place and especially on the annlver-
sary of our independence.
Not only will there be many inltl-
ates from all parts of the state but
there will be hundreds to view the
beautiful ceremony, especially as one
or more special trainloads of Pacific
coast delegates to the Elks national
convention in Atlanta will then be at
Grand Canyon, one of their breathing
points on the way across the contin-
ent. From some of these visiting Elks
will be chosen the men to conduct the
initiation ceremonies. 1t IS also ex.
pected to have pageant as part OF
the ceremony.
Among the committeeman appoint
ed in connection with the arrange
ments for the big state meeting are
Mr.. Archer, Loren Cress and DR.. T..
S. Miller, the two latter past exalted
rulers. The general chairman OF the
arrangements is Walter Miller OF
Jerome.

THEY SAY so

Mos ev'body spent at least part
of Sunday at Lake Mary. And mos
evbody fished. Mos ev'body caught
some fish, too. C. /. Crump got a
bass that weighed Ats pounds. Art
Kellenback got one that weighed four
pounds and another that weighed
three. Photographer Carson got a
few good samples. Joe Schmidt's
weighed 2h pounds. No use asking
who had the scales or did they guess,
because it doesn't fall within the haz-
ards a newspaper man is s'posed to
encounter to ask man too many def
mite questions about the fish he says
he caught.

"CHI" THOMAS HOME

Russell ("Chi") Thomas got home
Tuesday morning from Phoenix. He is
walking around, looking peart and
sassy, but still is incapacitated to a
great extent as the result of the SER
ious injuries he received on Washing
tons birthday in Phoenix, where the
racing auto in which he was mechan-
ician left the track and turned over.
Chis left arm is still partially pala-
lyzed, and III other ways he's pot just
ready to go back to busting bronchos
or throwing barrels of flour around
with his teeth, but he's coming along
in fine shape and happy to be back up
here.
