We have come to this State by the request of the California Conference of S. D. Adventists to counsel with our leading men relative to the location of the SIGNS Office, the institution of a publishing association here, and the best method of conducting a publishing house. We design to write for the SIGNS, and speak to the people as the way may open. But the time of our stay upon this coast at this time cannot be more than three months, provided we attend our Camp-meetings in the several States, closing up with California on our return to the State next fall. There is, therefore, no time to be lost. The site for the Office building will cost $5,000. It will be purchased expressly for this purpose, and no part of it will be put to any other purpose. Then it will cost $10,000, more or less, to put up a building for future use. Should it not all be needed at present, a part of the building can be rented until the destined increase of the business shall require the entire building. It would be a blind policy to put up a small building, only large enough for present use, which would be nearly worthless in a short time. With this view of the matter, fifteen of the twenty thousand dollars pledged by our people in California should be paid during the next ten weeks, and not less than ten thousand dollars should be paid immediately. The lot must be paid for before the first day of March, and cash purchases of lumber must be immediately made if this work goes forward as it evidently should. Our eastern brethren have pledged sums sufficient to purchase presses and printing material complete. They have paid more than half of them, and will have the remainder ready before the building shall be finished. We would order presses, types, and engine at once if the building was ready. The presses will come by rail from New York, and will weigh fifteen thousand pounds. Our plan is to have them here at the time the building is finished, so as to move them to it immediately on their arrival. There must be promptness on the part of all concerned in order that this noble enterprise be carried forward to completion in the limited time suggested. Brethren in California, shall the work go right forward? If it shall, then let your affirmative responses be in cash needed just now. You can pay all, or a part, of your pledges now. Do the best you can just now. Direct to J. N. Loughborough, Oakland, Cal. Please bear in mind that the management of this matter at present is in the hands of a committee of five, composed of the three members of the California Conference Committee, to which were added, Bro. Wesley Diggins of San Francisco, and Bro. John I. Tay of Oakland.
