Talked Y. M. C. A. for Greelev

G. S. Bilheimer of Denver, state
secretary of the Y. M. G. A., was in
Greeley last week looking over the
field here with view to a Y. M. G.
A. building. He stated that the
state officers had been considering
Greeley for some time as place for
such an institution and were only
awaiting favorable opportunity to
take up the work here with the local
people. 1t is more than possible
that II the community is prosperous
next fall that the work will be
undertaken.
The money has just been raised at
Grand Junction for a fine association
building and Mr.. Bilheimer stated
conditions there were even less fav-
orable than they look here for rails.
Ing the needed funds. Besides this
there Is not near the wealth at
Grand Junction that there is in
Greeley. The state officers have also
been conducting two or three other
campaigns for local buildings that
have turned out successfully.
