Securing Members for the
Y. M. c. A.
GREAT INTEREST SHOWN AT CLOSE
Local Association Now Has Largest
Enrolment in It's
History.

The parlors and corridors of the
Y. VI. {. \. building were crowded
last evening by members old and
young who had been enlisted in the
membership contest between the
Reds and the bIues. The result of
the contest which closed at $3.50 p.
m, was victory for the Blues in the
senior contest and the Reds in the
junior contest.
The plan on which the contest was
waged, which has been referred to
from time to time. included the di-
vision OF the entire working member
ship into two sides in each of the
departments. Chauncey futile and
Fred Grotian were chosen captains
of the Blues and the Reds respective
ly. in the senior contest and each had
Il number of assistants. The canvass
for members has been most thorough.
having been Systematically carried
on, and the result is most gratifying.
Blues Have steady Lead.
The Reds took the lead in the very
beginning, but their opponents soon
outStripped them and continued
ahead till last evening. Then, for q
time. it was nip and tuck. one being
ahead part of the time and then the
other. Finally, when the time limit
had almost expired. the Blues took
decided lead and at the finish they
had 81 new members, while the Reds
had 10. In the contest among the
Younger members. the Reds secured
10 new members and the Blues nine.
The prize of $40. offered to the one
making the highest individual record,
was won by Albert Holmes. who Sc
cured nine new members during the
time of the contest. Second and
third prizes of 50 and So were divided
between Harry Shiffer and Fred
Grot jan. each of whom secured eight
members. Harry Shiffer brought in
the highest number of members dur
ing the season, having secured four
new names just before the opening of
the contest. 4 hose who secured
three or more members and who will
therefore be entitled to a seat at the
special table at the banquet are j..

Orchestra and Apples.
During the evening the \. NJ. c. y.
orchestra was stationed in the cor
ridor and gave Il select program
which was highly appreciated. At
ter the result of the contest had been
ascertained Il barrel of apples was
distributed among those assembled.
The contest brings the total MEM
bership of the local y. NJ. c. y. up to
$50 and there is no doubt that il will
almost. if not quite reach the 400
mark that was set early in the sea-
son. The largest membership ever
enrolled heretofore was 1926. The
banquet for those who. secured one
or more members Will be held on the

of n willow tree being struck by light

other large trees and even many small

to say; "Give me something hard" and

when they think they have got some

this soldier, this writer, this mustang

Of arranging the itinerary Of the presi-
dents trip to the Pacific coast is proceed
ing slowly ct the White House, and al
most everything on the program up to
the present time is provisional and sub
ject to change. The trip is to be in no
sense speechmaking tour, it being the
presidents desire as far as possible to
avoid addressing the crowds which will
congregate It the various places at which
be willstop. Some set speeches at sew
eral places are already arranged for. but
the president will make no rear platform
speeches to the multitudes, Another fea-
ture Of the trip will be the substitution of
. drive through the city for public re-
ception. The trip will be so arranged
that there will be no travelling on Sum
day. Secretary Cortelyou, who is plan
ming the itinerary, is not able yet so give
out even an approximation of the route
and stops.

Golden Opportunities.

There is no doubt that great sums can
be secured for the development of our
Incompatible mining resources if our
people are persistent in advertising those
resources. There viii be two fine oppor-
tunities this year to bring them to the at
tention Of all classes. One Of these will
be the Buffalo exposition. There should
be large exhibit Of our ores there, to-

Central Union.

The Building Trades council of Omaha
was recognized Thursday night the afil-
iatihg unions being the bricklayers, plas-
torers, carpenters, hodcorriers and plumb-
eis-the big Five of the building trades
The council is distinctly a local affair
having no organic relation with the ma
uonal society, and is intended only to unite
the workers OF this city who are engaged
IN the building trades. The new coalition
Is or particular interest at the present
time in view Of the fact that the hod-
carriers have demanded an increase of
wages or 2hs cents an hour, to be effective
Immediately. The action OF the council
is not known at this time, but the inn
preston prevails that the hodcarrlers
would not have Joined the council had NOT
majority OF the unions affilating indl-
Gated their intention of supporting them
In their contention Tor raise OF wages.
IL such Is the case it will mean that the
raise will be granted, or there will be de-
lay In the opening work in the building
trades this spring, as the Building Trades
council as at present constituted, is a
strong combination, which will be able to
secure any reasonable demand. In most
cases the unions constituting the council
are considered particularly conservative by
the employing contractors,
