TRUE WORK OF THE Y. M. c. A.
It Should Not Make Gospel Meetings
Main Aim OF OrganiEation-Sid-
ney Harbor Lines.

j. A. Dummett, who has charge of the Young
Mems Christian Association work In the Pacific
Northwest, is stopping at the Arlington hotel.
His headquarters are In Portland, but his terri
tory embraces Oregon, Washington, idaho and
British Columbus. There are in all twenty
eight associations, and Mr. Dummett visits each
at least twice a year, and where more attention
is needed he bestows ii.
''The comparatively small number OF associa-
tions in this territory" said he last night, els
due to the fact that we deem ii unwise 10 estab-
lish an association until it can really do its
proper work. There are a number OF towns
here where the people would like 10 start
Young Mems Christian Association, bu. at
present they would be able to do nothing mora
than hold gospel meeting on Sunday after.
noon. We hold that the association is doing
its proper work only when it develops man on
the moral. physical, social and intellectual sides,
and unless there are facilities for such work, a
gymnasium, reading rooms and rooms for So
cial, literary and religious gatherings, then 10
is better not 70 start branch of the association,
"If the association can do nothing more than
hold gospel meetings there is no excuse for Its
existence: for such meetings can be held per-
fectly well by the churches and come within
the sphere OF the churches. Such meetings do
not enable the association to reach the class of
young men whom it ought TO reach; indeed, the
ordinary gospel meeting rather repels them than
otherwise. The association almost invariably
laDgu ishes when ii confines itself to such work,
and then when the time comes for starting the
organization on its legitimate basis there is
good deal of uphill work. People say oh, yss,
we have no use for that sort OF thing
1.-THE fact is that the Young Mems Christian
Association must be, as il is here in Seattle, q
club. not band of preachers"

Percy w. Rochester has returned from his
trip 10 Chicago TO attend the Worlds fair meet.
Ing there. In speaking yesterday Of the con-
troversy over the plans for the Washington
state building, he said: 1.-THE state commission,
upon examining the plans, gave the first prize
10 W. A. Richie, of this city; the second to
Billiard * Haywood, of Tacoma, and the third
to Warren p. skillings, of this city. Part of my
business IN Chicago was 20 have the plans we
had chosen approved by the Worlds fair author

generally understood that the plans for all state
buildings must be approved by Dir. Burnham,
the architect there. Before went DR.. y. G.
biaioek, the president and executive commits
sioner of our local commission, directed me TO
take all three sets of plans that had won prizes.

nas been intimated, in the fact thar Mr..
skillings' plans reached Chicago.
MI. Burnham was very courteous 10 me, an

him about the plans. l showed him Mr..

them because they were too commonplace, too
commonplace 10 ut into the general system of
buildings as planned by the board OF architects.
Well, went to him three or four times TO see If
he would not suggest notifications by which
the building would be accepted; but he said he
would have 10 change the structure from the

Finally he asked IL we had nothing else, and

Mr.. Buruham objected to the Billiard & Hey

with that of Mr.. Skillings, and said il was the

SIDNEY MEANDER LINE.
Dissatisfaction Over the Harbor Lin
Commission's Survey.

Dr. W. H. Bradley, a practlcing physician of
Sidney, arrived at the Grand hotel yesterday
with his wife. In speaking OF affairs in that
lively little town across the Sound, be said:
There is some dissatisfaction over the way
that the surveyor for the state harbor line COM
mission has located the government meander
line. You know that the man ing lands
down to this line has riparian rights--that is,
prior right to purchase the adjoining tide lands
In sidney the original owner was the Sidney
Land Company, but it plated tho site aud ran
Bay street, the principal thoroughfare. SO
that the meander line was supposed to be in the
middle Of the street. Those buying lots on the
side OF the street farthsst from the water, of
course, did not have riparian rights, and then
people came in on the other side and put i'm
provements on the tide lands, hoping thereby to
acquire prior claim to such lands when the
time came for sale.
1.-THE harbor commission, however, has run
the meander line so that it does not come into
Bay street, but leaves a strip of land between il
and the street. This land, then, must belong to
the original land company, which can thus
claim the riparian rights. Hence the d;ssatis-
faction on the part of the people who put i'm
proYements on the tide lands"
