We have been reliably informed
that the members of the Presby-
terrain church of this city expect to
erect new house Of worship on their
lots on upper Spring street, provided
they meet with sufficient substantial
encouragement from the citizens OF
Friday Harbor and vicinity. If the
plans now on foot are carried out, the
new building will be completed and
ready for occupancy about October lst
next. The erection of such a building
as they desire to construct will materi-
ally help to increase real estate values
as we'll as beautify our place and the
promoters should be given every encour-
agement and helping hand extended.
We hope the citizens will respond lib
orally when called upon.
