elected the following officers for the
ensuing year: Secretary, S. o. Hagen;
treasurer, NJ. E. Holt; trustee, II. p.
Hammer; superintendent Of Sunday

The paper for the church was fur

Nov the proposition Is 70 repeal

point made BY the opponents Of the
repeal Of these laws Is that such ae.
tion would cut of the contributions

Under a proper timber law the gov.

Looking TO the East.
The strength TO insure the repeal
Of these laws must come from the
east. The fight In the irrigation q
