Tbey desire if possible to get some society interested, presumably the Masonic order, and put up a three story building, fitting up the third story for a Masonic hall, and the other two stories be given up to the use of Co. E. This is quite an undertaking for the boys, and will require a great amount of hard work on their part, as they will have to raise the necrssary funds themselves, as all they are allowed by the state is #250 per year for rent, which will be given them, even though they own their headquarters. With the co-operation our citizens should feel it their duty to give them, the work is possible and can be accom plished with very little difficulty. Our readers are all familiar with the ex cellent standings our boys received and the good work done by them at the Cedar Falls encampment, and they certainly are worthy of the sup port of not only Cresco people but of the residents of the entire county.
