ton for the state of Oklahoma
offers an alluring prospect for the

/ readily be dou bled.
This estimate does not include

! Al state senators, who will swell
the grand total to 1915.

officers contained in the Oklaho-
ma statutes shall apply in the
entire state, except that the office
of coroner is abolished and the
probate judge is made the county
judge.

majority of the county officers
are paid on fee basis, so that
the amount Of each mans salary
will vary with the amount OF
business transacted by his office,

who has been appointed in the
past, is one of the best paid Off.

The common theory that alec hol in moderation is a safe bever. age has been practically de- stroyed. The latest declaration on this subject is by one of the great surgeons of England. Sir Frederick Groves, who says, al, cohol is always an insidious pois- on, in that it produces effects which seem to have only one anti. dote, namely, alcohol again"
 In recent address given in Bishopsgate Institute, London, Sir Victor Horsley showed that in 1862 the London hospitals spent about S40,000 for alcohol. and S15, 1000 for milk. In 1892 these figures were practically re versed about S40,000 spent for milk and $15,000 for alcohol. Still less has been spent for liq. uor in the last decade.

Cañon City record., 1907-06-20

Fort Collins has just laid the corner
stone for as fine Y. M. C. A. build
ing as will be found anywhere in
city of that size. 1t will cost $65,OOO
and the money is. all raised.
With the prospect of Canon City
starting an early building campaign
for just such a building the cuts and
description of the Fort Collins build
ing will be especially interesting at
this time.
Before another year has passed Can
on City will undertake building cam
paign. With the handsome start of
the 900 left by Mr.. F. A. Reynolds
for this purpose, it ought to be an easy
matter to raise the total to $4,000 or
$65,OOO.
Grand Junction and Fort Collins
are both ahead of Canon City in this
respect. Both cities raised sums
above $65,OOO for building and neith-
er had anything like the start Mr..
Reynolds bequest gives us.
The Fort Collins building is des
cribed as follows:n
The exterior is devoid of ornamental

roof will make the building more at
tractive than one would at first i'm
agine The building will consist of
three stories and basement. The base
ment itself stands almost on the level
of the street, so as to give the effect
of a four story building. The real
worth of an association building con-
sists of having it's interior so arranged
that the physical, social, mental and
spiritual needs of young men and boys
can be met. During the past ten years
the entire architecture of association
buildings has undergone radical
changes. Those who have been re-
sponsible for the plans of the local
building have endeavored to introduce
only those features which have been
tried and proved of value.
The committee has endeavored to
provide adequate quarters for the
boys from twelve to eighteen years
of age, entirely separate from the men
except in the physical department. The
entire east end of the basement is
given up to this department.
In addition to the boys department,
the basement will contain two regula-
ton sized bowling alleys, public and
members toilet rooms, dark room,
separate locker rooms for young men
and business men, a private exercise
room, boiler and coal rooms. The
shower baths will adjoin those of the
boys, but will have a separate en-
trance to the swimming pool. The
baths and particularly the swimming
pool will have few equals in the coun-
try. The marble for the former will

wide stairway leads from the main
lobby to the second floor. This floor
will be utilized for educational, social
and religious work, except fve dormi-
tory rooms, which will be rented to
members. Three class rooms, separ-
ated by folding doors can be made
into one large banquet or assembly
room, seating two hundred people.
Adjoining these is kitchen. One

will be found spacious social room.
At the north end of the lobby, directly
opposite the entrance, will be seen a

entrance is the business Office, and di-
rectly back of it is located the coat
