Plans for the new home of the Bemidji lodge, B.P.O.E. are nearing completion and before late next fall, a luxurious $50,000 building will have been constructed.\u00a0 Thayer C. Bailey, exalted ruler, has named H. H. Mayer, F. S. Lycan, A. P. White, Charles Cominsky and T. J. Burke as a committee to have charge of the soliciting and already much progress has been made.\u00a0 The plan is that the money secured through subscriptions shall be considered as a loan, and the shares will sell for $25 each, and 6 per cent will be paid for interest.\u00a0 As yet, no site has been selected, several under consideration.\u00a0 (Bem Daily Pioneer, Jan 21, 1914)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
