ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES.
The lighting of the church IN n
feature of great moment and
worthy of much praise. The lights,
more than 300 in number, are furn-
i-hed by the Citizens Electric
! Light Company. Their arrange
m-nt and distribution throughout
the structure are most perfect
During the constructing of the
huil,iing, Mr.. Charles Lutz, the ef.
flcient electrician Of the company
carefully and perfectly wired the
structure, and it Is but u slight
evidence Of the vast amount Of
work that hp did, to visit the attic
and see the net work Of wires run
ming in all directions. He used In the
entire building over $500 feet Of
wire. His work has been tested 10
many waya and found not in tho
least deficient. Near the north
entrance to the Auditorium Is the
electrical switch board. 1t con.
tains q keys, and by Its manipul.
atiOns diff. rent pairs OF globes are
Illuminated. The lights in the
dome may be turned on In pairs,
IN fours or alternately, and during
the sermon the auditorium lights
may all he dar kened except the
pulpit lights, which Is restful to
the eyes Of the congregations. The
lighting system IL as near perfect
M any public building that has
come to our notice.

WORK OF ERECTION.
Much praise j. due the untiriug
efforts nf the Fulfilling committee
of the Church which has had this
work in hand. The committee are
John w. Jones, Edward Baker, r.
ID. McManigal and Amos Parker.
A hout three years ago they took
upon themselves this great work,
and the church stands as II mnnu-
ment OF how we'll they have per-
formed their duties. They have al.
most entirely employed Logan la
bur. The bri * were made in LO-
gan by the Hooking Clay Mfg. Co {;
; the original cOntrsct was let to
contractor John w. Str+ntz, and
A Mag00n was appointed superin.
, tendent. The moving Of the old
, church and excavation for the new
WAS overseen by A. H Wilson amt
, A. v. Crawford. Mr.. Stientz's
contract brought the building to
enclosure, and he is entitled to
much praise for the excellent WORK
that he did. Since the enclosure,
the inside mostly has been finished
by Blosser & Risley, among the
hest skilled wOrknen In the val.

I IL certainly n pride to our town
and monument to the willing
