Who Are These Evangelists?

The question is often asked,
who are these eYangelists any
way?" The preacher is George Wes
ton Taylor, a minister of Los An
geles, Calf. He has been engaged
in evangelistic work for II years.
He was born in Kentucky. His
wife, Mrs. Carrie Beal Taylor, ira
yels with him and is a popular cor
netist, each having been on the
Chautaqua platform. His two
boys,1 and 13 years old, live with
their grandmother in Los Angeles,
where Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor join
the family circle during the sum
ner.
DR.. Taylor has a strong person

is both a college and a university
man. He is very original and burn
ing with enthusiasm. An evangelist

nett certainly will consider her
self fortunate in being honored wit
the services and presence o. this
great soul winner.
DrI Taylor never seems to lack
for powerful and brilliant illustra-

truths of our holy christianity. He
is quick spoken and witty, say
ing many spicy sayings that keep
his audience in laughter and at the
same time affords opportunity to
drive home a truth.
An intense interest is shown in
every service. At present he is
preaching to the Christian people
and giving them many suggestion
and thought as to how they may
uplift the cross of Christ and glor-
ify God.
Mrs. Taylor has not yet appeared
as soioist, but will soon. She
has sweet personality and has
already won the hearts O. many
of the people.

Doss, "the human telescope"

freak of nature and is a puzzle to
the medical fraternity. Besides in
creasing his height two feet, ne

BLACK CANYON BOND
ELECTION
VIII Vote Upon a Bond Is
sue of Seven Million
Dollars

An election TO vote bonds in the
sum of s7,150,O0O TO construct the
Black Canyon irrigation project has
been called for January 2, 1912.
The following communication has
been received from John F. Chrit-
tiansen, one of the directors of the
Black Canyon Irrigation district in
relation to the bond issue and
lother matters of interest:
please grant me space in your
valuable paper for conveying the
following item to the public: No.
tioes have been posted in the Black
Canyon Irrigation District an
nouncing the annual election for
December Il, 1911. One person
from the third precinct viii be
elected tor director.
The bond election has also
been called by the board of drec-
tors for January 2, 1912, when the
voters may express themselves
whether or not the Black Canyon
Irrigation District shall be bond
ed to the amount of approximate
ly s7,150,000 About 10000
acres will be covered by the ditch.
The board certainly appreciates the
opportunity of being able at this
time to make the cali .or the bond
election, because a great many
obstacles had to be overcome dur
ing this year. The State land
board passed a resolution on Aug
ust 81, 1911, granting a storage of
s ft in the Big Payetts lake and
the full capacity of the Little Pay
ette lake, for reservoir purposes.
An agreement has been reached with
regard to the Canyon three miles
above Horseshoe Bend, so that
the Idaho Northern railway may
build its road and the district con-
struct its dam. The general plan,
including the estimate Of cost of
the ditch system, consisting of
some 35 pages Of typewriter mat
ter, was approved by the state En-
ineer The plan provides for a
host substantial ditch, which will
include nearly seven miles of
unnel. The walls o. the tunnels
viii be constructed OF concrete
s inches thick, and the diversion
lam and the big Payette lake
Iams will be built OF concrete and
tone.
Electric power for use in the
istrict may eventually be generated
minimum of 1000 horsepower
iii be available, and some 10000
c 10000 acres of the most valuable
richard land may have its water
Ipplied by pumping stations.
The prospect OF financing the
roposition looks reasonably good,

,ins have shown great interest in
he project"
