ing anecdotes and "reminiscences. The
accompanying illustrations include a

ST. CLEMENTS CHURCH new
st. Clements Roman Catholic Church
is enclosed and the roof is being rapidly
put on. The spire above the brick work
will be covered with California red
wood shingles. Dials have been placed
on the tower for a town clock The
church authorities are not fully decided
as to putting in a clock Lancaster is
greatly in need of one, but the church
has been to so great expense in build
ing the editice that they may not feel
disposed to put one in at present. AS
a clock would be direct benefit to the
city, it is not improbable that some of
our citizens and business men may be
called upon 10 contribute toward it.
Father Barth estimates that II clock
which would strike the hours and quar-
ter hours could be bought for $1,000,
while one that strikes only the hours
would cost $500 1t is certainly most
commendable project and no city with
so fine an edilice as ST. Clements
Church should be without a clock in its
tower.
