Although the event has been for sometime past anticipated, still it was with a general expression of sorrow that the news was received on yesterday morning that Rev. L. P. Wilber had gone to his rest. Rapidly falling health had caused him to give up one by one, the different duties to which, since his arrival in Los Angeles county, he had earnestly devoted himself, and it is but a few weeks since that we published a card from him to the Presbyterian church which he founded and of which he has been the only pastor, resigning himself to the will of the master. Since that time he had resided in Anaheim in order to be under the constant care of his physicians. As the morning of yesterday broke upon his dying couch, peacefully and in full possession of his mental faculties he surrendered to his maker, last of all, the life that had been devoted to his service.

We might not get it immediately, but that is the ultimate end of a socialist movement. Strange that there are some people who cannot give their assistance to a defense day observance where we have the smallest relative standing army in the world and yet give the aid of their sympathy, at least, to the nation that maintains the largest armed force and thereby keeps itself in autocratic power.

This indicates that building costs are pretty well stabilized and those who hesitate to build now in the hope that they may be able to build cheaper next spring will not gain anything by waiting. The logic back of the idea that costs are likely to be higher next year is that lumber and other materials, like wheat and oranges, are down to rock bottom now and are more than likely to move upward than downward. Therefore even if there should be some trimming of the peak in wages this will be offset by increasing costs in material.
