The association has at present $50
TO the building fund. Os-
laloosa closed its canvass with to-
al of 1900 subscriptions, so it can
eadily be seen that only a very small
PORTION of the field has as yet been COW
red. Secretary Fellingham has prac-
ically been working alone, since the
anvass was commenced, altho he has
allied upon members of the business
mems committee at times for assist
nee. Nothing in the way OF a general
movement has as yet been attempt
d, and next weeks work will be very
borough.
