We then tried to get the building we are using at present en- larged so as to be able to meet the demands temporarily. In doing what we have done we have not had a single selfish motive, but have been looking to the interest of all the people as best we could, having the interests of the people in mind. 1 de- sire to say to Mr. Riggins or any in the least reasonable and we will put | forth our every effort to help push | the matter with all possibl,. speed, £0 as to meet the demands which are now resting so heavily upon us.
