We regret that owing to absence from
town we were unable to attend the dedica-
ton of the new Catholic church at this place
on Sunday last We learn, however, that
the programme as published in the FREE
PRESS of April 18th was carried out There
was large attendance, the Mexicans largely
predominating. We heard it said, about
1000 of them were present. Bishop Nerazs
address was in Spanish, that of Rev. Father
Garesche was in English, and we have heard
it highly spoken of. The altar and church
were handsomely decorated with flowers,
etc. We learn that regular services will
now be had in this church every two
months.
We invite the special attention of our
lady readers and friends to the card OF Miss
Iva Cook, dressmaker, to be found in our
advertising columns. AS we have hereto
fore stated, Miss Cook recently came here
from Palestine, and brings with her the
highest testimonials not only of being thor
oughly qualified for her business, but OF
HIGH personal character and worth. She
will be found very affable and agreeable in
her manners and attractive in her personal
appearance, and we do not doubt will be
able TO give entire satisfaction to all who
NAV favor her with their patronage. She
will be regularly supplied with all the latest
fashions.
