WILL BUILD THE CHURCH
Congregational Society Has Decided
to Erect a New Church, Begin
ming This Fall.
ming This Fall.

With the advertising for bids the
Congregational church society has
decided to erect a new church. Bids
have been asked for the construction
of the edifice and these will be open
ed on the evening of September 20,
and they are to be filed with Archi-
.tect Wherry, who has drawn the plans
for the new church.
The building is to be erected on
the corner of Fourth avenue east and
kimball street, just in front of the
present church building. Either
stone or brick is to be used in con-
struction and the structure will cost
when completed in the neighborhood
of $4,000, perhaps more 1t is the
idea to put in the basement and
foundation this fall and then start
the building season mex spring with
the church proper.
The Congregational society is not
building just to be in style with a
new church, but because there is abb
%solute necessity for a larger building
TO accommodate the growing demands
lof the church. The present edifce
has times without number proved in
adequate for the presence of the men,
bership and the congregation visitors,
consequently there was nothing left
to do but to provide for the future.
1.-THE church society is a year past its
quarter century mark, which it cele-
brated last year, and during the past
four or five years it has made a
splendid growth under the direction
of it's minister, Rev. A. Craig Bow
dish. The church people have been
working in the utmost harmony on
all lines and it has brought about
some splendid results, the crowning
one of which il the new church build
ing.
AT one time Mitchell was poorly
Equipped with church buildings and
we doubt if there was a town in the
state which could not boast Of one or
more better church buildings than
Mitchell. However, this unfortunate
condition is being rapidly overcome.
This fall or winter will witness the
dedication of two magnificent church
buildings in the Catholic church,
which was started about two years
ago, and the Methodist, which was
started early this spring. The two
churches will represent an outlay of
over 100000 and they will be two
edifices which the respective congre-
cations can be very proud of. Both
are built of granite rock and the
architectural design Of each is very
attractive.
With the completion of the Cath
Ollie and Methodist churches this fall
and that of the Congregational
church next summer, Mitchell will
have three church buildings which
can be shown to visitors as some
thing very handsome.

satisfied with "Uncle Dick

strated last week when the county

OF course Mr.. Turner was careful in
selecting his deputies, and they gave
him perfect assistance except in one
case where there was a slight bobble
over the rural telephone assessment,
but this vas adjested by the county

ASK GILLETT TO
VETO REMOVAL
MEASURE
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, March 5.-A mass
meeting of citizens was held tonight
under call of Mayor M. r. Beard for
three purposes:
Protest against the lies vilifica-
tions and Misrepresentation made in
the interest of the capital removal.
2-To petition the governor to veto
the bill for removal.
3-To organize, if indeed there must
be a. capital removal campaign.
Papers, letters and resolutions full of
vulgar falsehoods about the city and
valley were read, and these were made
the text for announcement and expos
ure of slander and defamation. Strong
but manly and non-abusive resolutions
were passed commencing the course of
the chamber of commerce, raising a
citizens committee to aid it and petit
tioning the governor to exercise his
veto power.
The speakers were former Lieutenant
Governor Alden Anderson, Colonel H.
Weinstock and Judge G. E. McLaugh-
lin. 1t was one of the most represen-
tative meetings ever held in the city
and was full of enthusiasm but marked
by the most orderly procedure.

BOND EXPERTS WANT
ENTIRE ISSUE VOTED
AT ONE ELECTION

In issuing the Owens bonds for the
construction of the Los Angeles aque-
duct, the friends of the big bond issue
assert, it is desirable that the entire
amount of $23,0O0,00 should be voted
at one time. Dillon and Hubbard, the
New York attorneys and bond experts,
who are regularly retained by the city
in matters relating to the bond issues,
were particularly insistent on this
point. At the conference held at the
chamber of commerce recently, at
which were present representatives
from the chamber of commerce, the
water board, the council the board of
public works and the bankers clearing
house, this was discussed, and it was
agreed that an entire issue was neces-
sary.
1t is argued that it will be desirable
to enter into number of long time con-
tracts for the driving of the long tun-
nels. The contractor who is given long
time contracts for the excavation of
the canal or it's lining can afford to buy
much more complete equipment for a
long job than short one. In order to
enter into these long time contracts
1t will be necessary that the funds will
be available throughout a term of
years for the payment of the city's
Liabilities. 1t is equally important from
the standpoint of the city itself. as il
would be expensive and well nigh dis
astrous for the city to vote two or
three issues of $5,000,000 and then. be-
cause of some change in public senti-
ment, to have year of twos deIav

SUGAR Planters
SEE RUIN AHEAD
Cost of Labor in Cuba Increases, and
Unless Price of the Product
Goes Up, Failures Are
Assured
Rv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
HAVANA, March 5.-The present
sugar crop will prove a financial
failure unless the price of sugar ad-
vances.
Although the weather is good and
the abundance of cane has enabled
grinding to be carried on without in
terruption, the cost of production is
excessive.
The cost of labor is nearly double the
average for recent years, Spanish sill
yer is nearly at par and railroad rates
are very high.
Planters complain that they are
worked exclusively for the benefit of
the railroads, which are charging from
25 to so cents for hauling a sack of
sugar, S25 pounds weight, to port
1t is alleged that the principal rail-
road, which recently increased it's stock
so per cent. did so to hide the high
dividends it is earning. These, it is
said, are almost entirely due to the
high freight rates on sugar.

WANTS
ELECTRICITY At
EIGHT CENTS
Sends Ultimatum to
Edison Company
Unless Rates Are Reduced Public
Utility Ordinance viii Be Vetoed.
Los Angeles Uses More EIec-
trleity Than Any Other City

Mayor A. c., Harper has declared
openly for eight-cent an hour elec-
tricity and has nailed his colors to the
mast.
The executive admits that he told q
representative of the Edison company
that the city could be profitably sup
piled at eight cents; that he proposed
to see it was done as he was in the at
titude of consumer buying the cur
rent as cheaply as he could.
AS Adolph L. Selig, manager of the
Edison company, was yesterday seen
going into the mayoralty sanctum and
emerging an hour and half later it is
inferred it was to Selig that the ulti-
matum was delivered.
1t is reliably stated that a meeting of
directors of the Edison company will
be held today when the mayors posi-
tion will be made known. If the direc-
tors are stubborn and hold to the 10
cent rate. which they offered and which
is specified in the public utility ordi-
nance, the mayor will attach his veto.
Mayor Has Agents Working
Mayor Harper has had three conf
Dental agents at work learning what
the companies are taking in and pay
ing out and these report to him that
eight cents would pay a fair revenue to
the company.
If a veto message is sent to the coun-
Gil 1t will contain whatever data these
men collect
Advertisements have reached the city
hall showing that the Edison company
offers to supply Redlands consumers
with electricity at eight cents a kilo-
watt hour.
| officials of the Edison company last
night declined to discuss Mr.. Selig's
mission.
Mayor Harper spoke guardedly.on the
situation.
II took the position of consume,
dlckering with a company for tn,
| cheapest service said he IT proved
to representative Of the Edison com.
pany, for whom 1 sent, that he could
furnish us light at least two cent:
cheaper and still make a handsome
revenue. He told me it was impossi-
BILE, but he promised to lay it before
the directors.
II told him if the rate was not re-
duced it would result in veto mes
sage and some reading matter which
the company would not like.

tr1ctty or knew the reason why"
