correspondence with George Nc
Dill, of Omaha, general secretary
Of the railroad Y. M. c. A., and
also with S. L. Busser, snperin-
tendent of reading rooms on the
Santa Fe system, relative to the
establishment OF Joint reading
room and athletic association in
this city. MIR. McDili says he has
not been able as yet to secure
much encouragement from high
Santa Fe officials endorsing q Joint
enterprise, but he still has hopes
and is not altogether discouraged.
Mr.. Busser says that plans for a
club house building on an exten-
sive scale have already been ap-
proved by Santa Fe officials, which
will materialize in the near future.
He does not approve Of the joint
enterprise proposition, and says
the club house will be for the ex.
elusive use OF railroad men.
We learned yesterday that the
new reading room will be erected
Immediately west of the Wells
Fargo express Office. 1t will be a
stone ard brick structure, contain
ing reading room, billiard and
pool room and several bath rooms
on the lower floor, with a b o t
twenty rooms on the second floor
to be utilized as sleeping apart
menis for railroad men.
