BUY CHURCH

Unity Council, knights of Columbus.
through its trustees yesterday pur-
chased the old Baptist church property
on Sioley east of Oakley avenue, the
consideration for the property, which
includes 50-foot lot and the old frame
church building, having been $4,000.
They expect to take possession by
July 1st and convert the present build
ing into a lodge and club house Event
ually they hope to supplant it with a
more modern structure, which will be
devoted either to lodge purposes ex-
clusively, or if the development of the
street warrants it, building which
will serve the double purpose of lodge
and business.
The movement among the K of C.'s
to get their own home is an old one,
and the deal of yesterday is the cul-
mination of these efforts. With men,
bership of 800 the present project is
an easy one to finance. although the
organization does not quite feel itself
strong enough yet to proceed with the
building of a home such as it hopes
eventually to have. For the present
the old church building, it figures will
well serve the lodges purposes.
Baptists Ready to Build.
Unity councii now mas Its headquar-
tiers In the Northern Indiana Gas &
Electric company's building on Holman
street. the lodge leasing from Anton
Taper. In point of location this lodge
room is one of the most desirable in
the city. 1t can be made honey and
coy, and will very likely be much
sought after by other organizations
after the K. of C.'s vacate. They have
lease on it which is still to run one
year and eight months, which they
will sub-fet it.

tion In twenty minutes from the
Ferry building. The site OF the ex.
position. at Harbor View, lies within
the city limits as a crescent upon the
shores OF San Francisco bay, Just in,
side the Golden Gate. No more pic

propriate to the celebration of a great
maritime event, could be imagined.
On the south. east aud west 1t Is en-.

ing contours rising successfully from
ESQ to 900 feet above sea level, like
the enfolding walls Of vast amphi.
theater. Upon the north the site
opens out upon the barbor Of San

View recalls the famous Riviera upon
the shores OF the Mediterfanean. In
the harbor before the site lies Alca-

all the lake beachs. Late in the day
the wind shifted, bringing in a cold
breeze that chased thousands out of
water and off the sands but the re-
lief did not extend beyond the few
blocks from the lake.
Indications are for rain today. The
city is parched and withering All
vegetation is as dry as it ordinarily
would be in october. The streets have
not been sprinkled since August 80
