CHURCH is NOT WORRYING
So Says President Smiths Attorney

+. Smith. against whom injunction pro-
ceedings have been begun by Don Car
los MusSeT and Charles A Smurthwaite
who ask an accounting of the tithing

by law in which to file his answer.
This action was indicated by Attor-

church yesterday. Mr. Richards said
that the complaint was being given
consideration and thAt an answer

been finished He expressed the opinion
that the compliments had no case and
stated that the church was not worry
ing over the suit.
He said that there had been no dis
position ora the part OF President Smith
TO avoid service of the complaint.

Dear Sir:-Your favor OF June 10th

] would say that we propose to estab-
lish large plant for the manufac-
ture of silk, requiring three acres of
ground. and II convenient, quarters for
employees. The amount OF land re-
quired for buildings to cover 500 looms.
and attendant machinery, stables, ETC.,
would be at least three acres, but we
might purchase more IL 1t could be
obtained at fair price. In fact, the
price of the land will have much to
do with our establishment Of the en-
terprise.
I'VE would want to be near a ship
ping point, but II 1t is an object to
ship by rail or boat. or both. would
consider such proposition. Of course,
freightage is an object in large man
ufacturing business, as we would have
much coal and lumber to move.
Does the government allow settle-
ment Of lands as bounty to veterans
OF the Civil War? What is the price
Of government land? Would like to
know the prices Of government and OF
private lands, with maps and full de-
tails, as you suggest.
Outside of business considerations,
my health and pleasure require bet
ter climate and conditions than I can
gee mere. am not an invalid, was new
er sick day in my life, but | am sixty
years old and dislike cold weather as
does also my son, who proposes to live
In Hawaii and do business there.
81 can have regular little colony
of our own out there. II can make
the right figures. -. thought
representative OF the United States
government would be as likely as any
one to furnish facts, preliminary to
our visiting the place or having our
representative do so. Esti-
mates for everything but land have
been made, and we have waited pa
tiently for your reply, for which we
thank you, and which we fully appre-
ciate. We would want to be as near
the city as possible, consistently with
the prices OF property.
"(signed) J. L. FoLLETT."
Pratt says that there is no govern
ment land available for the purpose.
but he will be pleased to hear from pri.
vate land owners.
