resident rector and was fully convinced
of the fact that the movement was
very generally desired by all. On
Monday night he held consultation
with the bishops committe to 60 over
the matter thoroughly and they
presented him with complete Rdata
showing evidence of their ability to
properly maintain rector. In ad.'
dition to the subscription list pre-
sented by the church the bishop was
very pleased and considerably surpri-
sed to have handed in to him a SUBJ
scription list from men outside of the
church asking that be confirm the
appointment as asked for and prom
ising quite large sum annually for
the maintenance of the church. Af-
ter thoroughly going over the ques.
tion Bishop Tyler readily decided to
comply with the wishes of the con-
gregation and appointed the Rev. C.
P. Drew to become the resident rec.
tor here. the appointment taking
effect Immediately. For some little
time to come Mr.. Drew will continue
to hold the outside missions that he
is now serving on week days, bu!

alarm was turned in about eight
o'clock from the residence of Mana
ger Miller of the Cavalier Co. Lum.
ber Co., where the explosion of a
gasoline stove left the kitchin badly
scorched and much in evidence of
what had happened. A second call

that its services would not be needed
AS the home is up on the hill in the

would have liked to have seen the
power from the new water works
plant in action and put to the test.
