PARK FUND RAISED
TO SECURE $1,000
Mayor McCaskrin Gets All Subscrip-
tons Without Any Diff
Guilty.

Mayor McCaskrin had the 81 200 ne
appropriated by the city council. raised
by O'Clock Saturday evening, and it is
now for the council to determine the
disposition of the matter Numerous
citizens who have conversed with The
Argus on the subject have held that
while it was perfectly proper that suf-
ficient funds should have been raised
to save the $1,000 that the money
should not be expended until those
who are willing and ready and able to
do so be given chance to make a cred
liable subscription in amounts that
will insure the immediate and perma-
nent development and improvement OF
the park. No doubt a fund amounting
10 several thousand dollars could be
readily raised with the matter properly
presented and there are those among
the business men who have now con-
tributed, who would readily give much
more if they knew il meant the com
pletion of the work Indeed, there is no
more reason why Longview park
should drag along in this day than
there would have been for delay in the
Improvement of Spencer and Garnsey
squares years ago. What was done in
proportion to the opportunities of citi-
zens then may be done now if
taken hold of. The park commission
should be given authority 10 make
the fund for Longview in keeping with
the city's established public spirit Let
the city give its part, and then let the
subscription list be revised

Catholic Congregation expects to
build new EdifiCe this spring.
WILL COST NEARLY $4,000.
Present building win be Remodeled and
used for School.

Arrangements are now being
made by the priest and congrega-
ton of the Cottonwood Catholic
church for the erection of hand
some new church t. replace the
present edifce. The matter has
been under consideration for some
time and last Sunday was taken up
and discussed by a large part of
the congregation. While the pre-
liminary work is not yet completed
it is the intention to have things in
shape to commence work on the
new building early in the spring
and have it completed as soon as
possible. The main building will
be 4SxS0 feet in size and will be
constructed of wood and fitted with
steel ceiling. a sacristy 20x20
feet in size will also be constructed
on the rear end of the building.
1t is estimated that the new church
will cost when completed between
$4,000 and $4,000 and over $4,000
of this amount was subscribed by
the members present last Sunday.
The location for the new building
has not yet been selected hut it will
probably stand either directly be
hind the present one and face on
King street or else be placed facing
Church street on the little knoll
Weet Of the present school building.
When the new church is completed
the old building will be remodeled
and converted into school house,
thus also filing a long felt want.
1t has been seen for some time
that the present church was made
quate for the needs of the congre
CATION and the erection of a new
one was simply a matter of time.
The erection Of the new edifice as
planned will. be material i'm
provement to our town and will
give Cottonwood one of the incest
churches in central Idaho.

while in business here who will be
sorry to see him cease taking an
active part in the affairs of our city
but his interests will be ably rep
resented by his business successor,
Mr.. Simon, and the new firm will
without doubt enjoy the full pat
ronage accorded the old one.
