Csntraiia Presbytsria. chur.h.

Rev. Benjamin Parsons, pastor Of the
Presbyterian church in Centralia, recently
called the attention Of his people to the
importance of freeing themselves from q
debt Of $3.50, and on Sunday. April 10. they
raised $240. The remainder will b OBJ
tanned in few days. The unanimity and
enthusiasm of the congregation found apt
expression in the long meter doxology on
the announcement Of the result. A quar-
tette choir of young men, Prof. Gears,
President Heuse, of the First National
bank, and Messrs. Richmond and Wal
lace, leads the music Of the congregation.
and furnishes admirable anthems in addi-
ton At both morning and evening services.
The outlook Of the congregation is very
hopeful.

There has been rather lull in the an.
nouncement of new buildings during the
past week. Quite q number Of large build
ings are in contemplation and will In all
probability be built this year, but the pro-
jectors have either not yet completed
financial arrangements or have not secured
the plans, and in either case are not vet
prepared to definitely announce their in
tentions. Several of these projects are ex.
pected to come to head this week.
The board Of education has approved the
plans Of Architect Parkinson for twenty.

height to the ridge pole will be 60 feet, and
the building will have two towers, one Of
which will be 100 feet high. The school
rooms will be each 27x32 feet, with IA foot
ceiling. The building will DO furnished
with all modern conveniences, such a.
cloak rooms. principals Office. teachers
rooms, library. etc, and will be
moro complete than any building
now in the city. The most ap-
proved system of heating. ventilating
and closets will be introduced, and the
entire cost will be about $4,000 The
building il arranged to be built In three
parts, central portion and two ends, and
at the present time only one of the ends,
containing six rooms, will be built, ct the
south end Of tho block.
During the past week forty-fve building
permits were issued by the superintendent
Of buildings, amounting to $i933 . very
light weeks work. Among these are the
following worthy Of special mention:
Three two-story frame dwelling houses By the
New England Northwestern Investment Com.

and Fredericks streets, one to cost 500 and
the other $1,000. and the third On Fourteenth

floor to the level OF the ground. The
workmen dug some little distance below
the foundation. The store, which Is about
twenty feet square, has been occupied
as a saloon, but day or two since all
the bar fixtures and other articles were
removed into the house Immediately In
the rear Yesterday afternoon Messrs.
w. c. Rose. who lives In the rear house !;
Stone and Henry Jackson were seated In
the store. when Mr.. Rose heard a slight
noise I'm the brick walls. His wife. who
was standing near, remarked that she
thought rats were in the walls. Her hus-
band replied that ne believed the walls
were cracking, and, together with the
other men in the store, stepped on the
pavement. They had scarcely gotten out
OF the door when the walls on both sides
suddenly gave away, and the whole room
fell I'm with a crash. None OF the men
were hurt. The stOre-house was a COM
plete wreck. Ii was owned by Mr.. Lam
bert. The loss Will amount to about $3.50.
