GAS WILL BE 43 CENTS
Company Voluntarily Lowers It's Price

The people Of Oakland and other
towns in this section Of the county
who use the product of the Northern
Natural Gas Company are to be con-
graduated upon the action of the gas
company in lowering its published
schedule Of r2tes which ran from 48
to as high as 70 cents per thousand
cubic feet to the fiat rate of 43 cents
per thousand cubic feet, the rate to be
effective as Of November of the pres
INT year, ara to make it equitable to
the subscribers the gas company will
make a rerand of amounts paid in
excess of that amount upon the pay
;aent of the current months bills to
be rendered on January 1st.
The action of the gas company, as
above stated, was voluntary and
the new rate will be in effect until the
decision Of the Public Service Commits
sion fixing the rates in that state has
been announced, which will probably
not be before early in the spring. In
the meantime, however, the local gas
Office will render statements as per
the published sliding rates, but the
AMOUNT to be collected by it will be
at the rate of 43 cents per thousand.
This is done so that the statements
paid hy the subscribers will show the

scale, the amount collected and the re.

No play produced on the American
stage in the last quarter of a CEN
fury will stir UP such wonderful
amount of controversy as Grace Hay
wards newest offering, "The Revela-
lions of a Wife," booked for one day
Monday, December 29th, at the Mary
land Theatre in Oakland, with a mat
inee in the afternoon of that day. 1t
is a rare dramatic piece-a play that
is entertaining and gripping, not only
on account of its sheer dramatic
strength and intensity, but also be-
cause it drives home a number of
great moral truths with sledge ham,
mer blows. 1t is play that appeals
to the average person and highly edu-
Gated person alike. The matinee is
given for ladies only at which lee
ture on marriage and divorce is given.
The evening performance is for every
body above sixteen years of age.

4 FORMER PASTORS WORK
New Church in Spokane, Wash, Dedi-
Gated with Rev. Bremen Pastor.

The current issue of The Lutheran,
the official publication of the United
Lutheran church of America, con-
tanned an account of the dedication of
new Lutheran church at Spokane, in
the State of Washington, of which the
Rev. o. A. Bremen, a former pastor
of the local Lutheran congregation, is
the shepherd, and which will make the
hearts of many of his friends in Car
rett county rejoice to read, the ac-
count being as follows:
"On a prominent corner in the beau
tiful city of Spokane there stands
churchly chapel and comfortable par
sonage that are truly monuments to
the industry and enterprise Of the pas
tor, Rev. o. A. Bremen, and his faith
full wife. Two and half years ago
this consecrated couple, with two
small children, left comfortable and
agreeable parish in Maryland to fol-
low a call to the big new empire of the
Far West. They sought neither for
tune nor ease, but place where they
could invest their lives for large re-
turns for The kingdom. Little did they
know Of the field to which they we're
going, save the mission superinten-
dents statement that q good pastor
was needed badly How very urgent
vas the need they discovered when
they arrived and found mission with
but six members worshipping in a
store-room SO dilapidated that props
were necessary to prevent it from col
lapsing. Synodical friends were far
away and the other Lutheran pas
tors were not interested in the new
English pastor and his work. With
out faltering, however, they went to
work with will, and though results
were meagre at first, their persistent
courage won. The mission has now
grown to a membership of fifty and

chapel as their first church home Rev.
Frank S. Beistel, Seattle, preached
the sermon and assisted in the dedica-
ton. The offering for the day was
more than $1,000, with good prospects
that the full $500 unprovided for in
debtedness will be provided for in a
short time. The large lot, with
comfortable six-room house, had been
purchased some months before, and
now, with the church upon it ST. Paul's
is equipped for the large work that
lies before it. Only those who know
the anxious care and the diligent toll
of the pastor will fully appreciate his
remarks at the close of the service:
This is the happiest day of my life. "
On Sunday following the dedication
of the church, the membership OF the
congregation was increased by eigh-
teen or more, when that number were
received, ten of whom were adults.
