FOR A GYMNASIUM.
The Work of Organizing an Association
Has Been Com

Tho WORK oil organizing an Association
Has Been Com m enced.
Helena will have a gymnasium. The
men who have taken hold of this movement
are just the ones to make it success.
There were twenty of them last night at the
Board of Trade rooms when J. b. Ross was
chosen as chairman and Dr.. E. A. Brooke
secretary. They are all in favor of the i'm
mediate establishment of the gymnasium.
Suggestions for elaborate apparatus and
fine quarters were thrust aside. What they
want now is place where there will always
be some lnducement for man who desires
physical culture to go and get some useful
exercise for his body. The modest preten-
tlons of these young men is just what as
sures success. BY and by, when the mem
bershlp is strong enough and the associa-
slon mas funds to spare, larger rooms will
be secured and perhaps more costly para
phernalia will be placed i'll it. But the
members will always remember that they
got good deal of enjoyment out of the
simple and plain apparatus with which
they started.
select suitable rooms, and another to So
llclt membership. They will report next
Friday evening. The movement to form
the association has been going on quietly
for two weeks resulting in the work started
last night. Several blank receipt books

pay 81 by the person desiring to become
member OF the association. The idea is to
get as many members as possible the fund
thus raised to be used in securing appara-
tus. There are lots Of men who want to see
gymnasium established here. Now is
their opportunity. Everybody comedies
that it is good thing. No rules and regu-
lations have yet been adopted. That will
be left to the members when tn,
organization is permanently formed,
If the. Board of Trade rooms can be
secured next Friday, there will be meet
ing at $3.50 to see how. many subscribers
there are and to permanently organize. If
the rooms cannot be had Friday evening
tho chairman will designate some other
meeting place. The men who attended the
meeting last night, intend to have a GYM
nasium if it only consists of small room
and such few articles as they may be able
to get together.

heavy storm occurred in the mountains
east of here to-day. Redmond's motor
