Camp-Meeting Notices and Other Items
By Editor
SEE appointment of Upper Columbia Camp-meeting at Walla Walla, June 5-16. THE Wisconsin Camp-meeting will be held at Baraboo, Sauk County. Particulars will be given soon. Time, probably, June 12-17. SPECIAL invitation is given to come to our Oakland meeting. Stockholders who cannot come, be sure to send proxies in good season for the Publishing Association meeting, April 28. A TELEGRAM from Elder Israel says of the Los Angeles meeting: "Camp-ground located second block above our church, on Sixth Street." We hope to get particulars to send out to Southern California with this paper. To H. P. G.—1. We are not permitted to hire out our teams or wagons for Sabbath work. 2. We are permitted to rent farms without any reserve. It is entirely different from hiring or permitting people to work on our premises which are under our control. A rented farm is not. THE Oakland church was favored with a discourse by Elder Loughborough last Sabbath. He will assist in the meetings to commence in Oakland the 18th inst., where we trust many of his old friends will be pleased to greet him after his absence of about six years. WE have received from Hon. John A. Anderson, of Kansas, his speech in the United States House of Representatives on the Postal Telegraph Bill. This subject is attracting much attention. One of California's Representatives is earnestly laboring in its behalf. APRIL has given California more heavy rains, which have done more damage to railroads and other property. All the repairs on the railroad this side of Los Angeles, made after the other destructive storm, were destroyed, and traffic and travel were stopped for several days. Much damage was done to the road and to trains on Mojave (Mo-ha-ve) desert. The San Francisco papers give lengthy accounts of the damage done in and around that city by the rain on Friday, April 11, especially in the evening. It literally poured down, eastern fashion. A cyclone struck Fresno City last week which destroyed one house and barn and injured others. The war of the elements will not be confined to the East.
