which will cost in the neighborhood of
$25,000.
Representatives of the Church Ex
tension Society and other leaders In the
denomination recently visited Pasco to
look over the field, and have recom
mended that liberal aid be given the
local church in securing the new edi
fice. Wednesday evening the district
superintendent told members of the
local church that the new building was
"a sure go."
The church, as planned, will have a
main auditorium. Sunday School and

Police Seek License Law,
Autolsts will be unable to buy gaso

without a card issued by the Secretary
of State, bearing the same number as
the license of the machine, if a plan
evolved by Inspector Mallett, of the
Portland detective bureau, is proposed
and made into a law by the Legislature.
The policeman believes that the re
covery of stolen automobiles would be
facilitated if the proposal were made
a law, inasmuch as automobile thieves
would be unable to use he cars unless
they, stole the cards from the owners'
pockets.
