ception, has done their share, and
Mrs. 0. b. Robinson, who had charge
OF, the work this year as well as last
year, deserves great praise for the
time she has given to the work and
TO the tact and judgment displayed.

Work VIII Begin at Once.

The work of building the new COM
bination auditorium and school
house on the half-block fronting
south park on the east and Prospect
street on the west, and which was
donated by Mr.. Coe. ID. Smith, will
begin at once. l.. Eaton has charge
of the building and he has already
began the work Of stalking off the
building.
On Monday Hon Edwin Gilbert,
through whose generosity the build
ing is to be erected, called on Mr..
F. S. Cone, the treasurer of the asso-
citation, and left a New York draft
for $1,000, with which to start the
work. A mason familiar with the
wire and cement work which is to
compose the outside walls of the new
building, has been summoned from
Connecticut. 1t is the purpose of
the organization to push the work of
building as rapidly as possible so
that all will be ready for the first
Bible Conference in March. To this
end a large force of workman will be
needed.
Mr.. Gilbert desires the News to
emphasize the fact that the new
building Is to be first and foremost
school for the children of Crescent
City and surrounding country. The
building is to be erected on plans de-
scribed in this paper last week, and
curing March of each year will be
given up to the work of the Bible
conference, but the balance of the
year it is to be a school house. Mr..
Gilbert believes that the Bible Con-
ference will soon outgrow, the ca
pacity of this building when the
work will be enlarged on the plans
talked Of last year aud which con-
eemplated greater building on the
lots rendered, by Hon. James R.
