BY FIRST BAPTIST
Handsome Edi6ce VIII Be
Erected at Octavia, Waller
and Market Streets

three years has occupied rented
quarters in OFarren street, near Fill
more, is preparing to build at the june
ton of Octavia, Waller and Market
streets 30 vara corner lot
plans have been adopted by the
church providing for main edifice
fronting 80 feet in Waller street and
102 feet in Octavia street The archi-
tects. Wright, Rushford and Cahill.
have designed a classic structure.
which will be notable addition to the
group of larger church buildings in
the city. The main entrance is in
Waller street, with an easy flight of
steps to the auditorium. A secondary
entrance in Octavia street provides a
still more convenient access for the
aged and inflrm.
INTERIOR ARRANGEMENT
The interior arrangement of the
auditorium provides for the pulpit
platform directly opposite the main en-
trance and behind it is the baptistery.
with a choir gallery above with space
for 70 singers. The main gallery ex-
tends around the sides and rear and is
reached by wide stairs at each corner
of the building The capacity of the
auditorium will be 200, including the
gallery An imposing dome crowns
the structure, which is to be of stone
and brick walls on concrete founda-
ton.
Tho lower floor 'affords ample pro-
vision for the present educational and
social needs of the church Twelve
rooms of various capacity have been
planned, including lecture hall, a
reading room and a larger class room
for young women, an office and head
quarters room for Christian Endeavor
societies. and other rooms for boys and
girls and for little folks.
In addition to the entrances to the
lower floor from the auditorium, there
are four approaches direct from the
street A separate steam heating plant
will furnish heat for the lower rooms,
10 insure their being comfortable at all
times independent of the main furnace.
BIDS TO BE SOUGHT
The architects are preparing the
complete plans and specifications and
obtaining bids for the work, Whlch
will be undertaken within few
weeks.
George H Moore is chairman of the
building committee and A. S. Weaver
secretary The new edif1ce when com
pleted will be the finest and most
substantial Baptist church building
ever erected in the city.
The policy of the church includes
plan for a second building, TO be
erected later, to furnish extensive &C
commodations for various forms of
Sunday school and parish work, and
also for UNCONVENTIONAL headquarters
for the missionary societies of the
Baptist denomination on the coast. 1t
is expected that q total investment of
at least 100000 will ultimately be in
volved in the enterprise.
The new site, which is the third to
be occupied by the church after so
years of work in this city is at the
conveyance of three great streams of
traffic and transportation. and it is be-
lieved that the church is entering upon
the most hopeful and successful period
of its career.

THE ISLE OF LONG AGO.

Oh. a wonderful stream is the River
 time, As it runs through the realm of
 tears, With fsultless rhythm and musical rhyme, And d boundless sweep and a surge
 /sublime,
 As it bends with the ocean of Years. How the winters are drifting Nike
 flakes of snow. And the summers like buds between. And tue year in the sheaf; so they
 come and they go. On the rivers breast, with it's ebb and
 flow,
 As it glides in the shadow and sheen. There's a magical isle up the River
 Time,
 Where the softest of airs are play There's cloudless sky and tropical
 cline. And song as sweet as a vesper chime. And the Junes with the roses are
 straying. And the name of that isle is the Long
 Ago,
 And we bury our treasures, there; There are brows of beauty and bosoms
 of snow: There are heaps of dust-but We loved
 them so,
 There are trinkets of tresses of hair. There are fragments of song that mo-
 body sings, And part of of an infants prayer; There's a lute unswept. and harp
 without strings; There are broken VOWS. and pieces of
 rings, And the garment she used to wear. There are hands that are waved when

DISCOVER PLOT
TO ROB BANK

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.-Dis-
covery of a network of tunnels
leading from a vacant store build
ing at 1879 O'Farrel street, today
revealed a plot to loot the vaults
of the Swiss-American bank, the
Fargo Jewelry company and the
Great Western Loan company.
The tunnels were discovered after
a Waterman had found a pile of
sand in the rear room of the va
cant store. A hole had been cut
through the floor and a main tun-
mel run within ten feet of the
bank vaults. Branch tunnels led
to the buildings occupied by the
jewelry and loan companies.
Work on the tunnels had evil
IDENTIFY been abandoned for several
days, from the appearance of the
earth taken from them. The
Waterman who made the discov-
cry was put on duty in the vicin-
ity of the bank about a week ago
and 1t is believed this action led
the robbers to believe their plot
had been discovered and to take
fight.
