BUSINESS MEN
Organizing Noon Hour
Glasses at Y. M. @. A.
FOR ATHLETICS

Plans are being made by Physical
Director Wallace of the Y. M. c. A..
to organize a class of business men,
whose training tine will be at tne
noon hour 1t is proposed to open the
class about the Drst of December. By
H. app. oval with which the PROPOSE
ton IS met with upon all sides, it
gives every promise of being a sue
cess, and Director Wallace expects to
open with at least twenty members.
The forming of such a class has
been ContenplIted by the Y. nj. c. A.
iOr some time, but rot until the pres
ent time has it been thought practical.
Recently there has been an increas-
ing demand on the part OF the busi-
ness men fer such a class. Many of
them find it not only impossible to
join the afternoon classes but even
those in the evenings, and they could
more easily spare the noon hour for
recreation than any other time in
the day. One class of business men
has already been organized, and its
membership is one of the largest of
any of the Y. M. G. A. classes.
The wrestling and boxing classes
have gained considerably in their
membership since the opening of
those organizations. When the sea-
son becomes lite further advanced,
it is proposed to form a wrestling
team, and the material available for
such aggregation is such, that Direc-
tor Wallace has strong hopes of car
rying off the state championship hon
ors.
A fencing class is to be organized
early in December. Already there
have been number of applicants,
and the class will undoubtedly have
a large membership.

BERGER |:
c iis-------
improvements Rapidly
Z Nearing Com
pletion
READY BY JANUARY

fnEHU1 DI JHNUHKT
Superintendent G. A. Irwin, of the
Berger Manufacturing company, an
Enounced yesterday that the improve
ments and additions, the construction
of which has been pushed for the
past few months, will be completed
within the next week. The additions
to the plant will be ready for active
operation by the first of next jan
uary.
The rapidity with which the stu
pendous task of construction has been
accomplished, is nothing short of re-
markable. 1t has been little over a
month since the council granted the
Berger company the privilege which
made the building possible. Imme-
diately large force of workmen
have been employed in the construc-
ton of the buildings, and the work
has gone on without a hitch.
The work has not only involved
the employment of an army of men
but also an enormous amount of cap
ital which it is said, will run close
to 100000.
The main building of the new group
is 140 feet wide and 800 long. This
like all of the others is constructed
entirely of steel as precaution
against fire. The boiler house wi |
be something similar to the main
building, except in size, its dimen-
sious being 4oxS0. The gas produc-
ing plant is another sub-structure, and
is of the same size as the boiler house.
There is also a warehouse in the
group, but the construction of this IS
not so near to completion as the 9TH
ers.
The machinery for the new build
ings is beginning to arrive. 1t is be-
ing made in eastern cities especially
for the Berger company, and all of
the fittings of the new plants will
be new. 1t will require a considerable
lapse of time to get the machinery
properly installed, but it is believed
by Superintendent Irwin, that all
will be ready for the opening of the
new mills by the first of the year.
At the present, the workmen are
engaged in the erection of furnaces.
These will be Of type that will stand
as a mode. of construction of /
naces. These will be completed by the
middle of next week
The Berger works, when the en-
largements are completed, will be
the largest independent rolling mill
west of Pittsburg, and will probab-
" outrank any independent mill in
the United States in its output. While
it is not definitely known just how
many additional hands the company
will employ to properly man the de-
partments. it will probably reach close
to 1000 men. Many of these will be
skilled workmen who command a high
salary, and all will be desirable citi-
zens. ...
With the employment of this large
number of men in addition to the
thousands already employed at the
Berger works, the new year will be-
gin with rapid stride towards the
revival of prosperity. There are many
other booms in store for the manu-
featuring circle of this city, and it
is stated that during 1909, Canton
will witness the greatest boom in it's
history.

.DUTTONCHURCH
DEDICATED


Dutton, okla, Sept 24.-The dedi-
cation of the Methodist church took
place last Sunday under very pleas
ant conditions. After an able sermon
by Rev. Carter Of El Reno. the i'm
pressive rite OF dedication was cele-
brated
Six years ago when people were
coming here from the four corners
OF the earth for the purpose Of max
ing homes, they we're too much occu-
pied with the burdens incident to the
settlement of a new country to think
much about churches and religion, but
after spending a few Sundays without
place of worship, the jealous Chris
tians began to cast about for rem
edy. In some instances brush arbors
were built the first summer, or a few
met at some neighbor's for Sunday
school; in other cases nothing was
done until the autumn, when school
houses we're built, but in every school
district something was done in the way
of Sunday schools and divine wor-
ship. At times the attendance would
dwindle to a handful and the leaders
would become discouraged, but in most
instances they held out faithfully and
such was the case in this community.
A few In each of the two districts
adjoining Dutton oyercame obstacles
and held the little schools together.
After a while the two were united and
held services in the Masonic hall of
this place. A few prosperous years
passed, homes had been established
and the people were contemplating the
erection of house of worship, but no
one earnestly took up the matter and
so It stood for another two years. In
the meantime, through the faithful
work of Rev. ]. e. Gray, the Metho-
dists had established an organization
and the conference was regularly send
ing pastors to this charge All the
time the need of church building be-
came more apparent, and last fall
when Mr.. Smith, the present pastor,
came here. he found everything ripe
for the consummation OF these much
talked OF plans and he proved to be
the right man in the right place, and
with the help of live building COM
mittee, composed of J. e. Gray, Walter
Station, Fred Hill, c. c. Fisher and e.
e. Mcdowell. the result Is beautiful
church, of which the community may
well be proud 1t was built at a cost
of $4,000 and is thoroughly and nice
ly finished It stands as a monument
to the religious and generous eharac-
ter OF prosperous people. The build
ing belongs to the Methodist Episco-
pal conference, But its doors are open
to other denominations when not con-
flicting with their regular appoint
ments.
