This money is not for the erection of.
a building for the Maine Central Rail-
road Company, it is for the erection OF
a Young Mems Christian Association
building for railroad men, The build
ing will be the property of the Young
Men'sp Christian Association and will
be manned and operated by the asso-
citation in the same manner as would
Il local City building. which in it's last
analysis means a committee of local
citizens working in harmony with the
general association movement.
TT was started by those who are
particularly interested in this line of
work. The company was approached
and asked for d stated amount. This
they very generously granted, and in
stead of our erecting Il railroad build
ing, the company is making possible
this splendid work through their mag
unanimous proposition which has boon
previously announced.
1T would seem therefore to any fair
minded man that this is a very gener-
Gus proposition on the part of the COM
pany and is one that would be gladly
accepted by many other communities.
AS matter of fact hundreds of cities
and towns all over this country have
already erected buildings of this kind
on the same basis.
The challenge has been thrown out
to the citizens of Wateryilc. We have
never doubted for a moment that it
would not be accepted, That it means
hard work is evident to the many men
who are giving 50, willingly of their
time and money in the support Of this
project and after all, what is there
that we have that is really worth
while. that did not demand heroic SER
vice to secure? These men are out to
win. They Will win"

Louis Winans' Success.
BRONX GOAT RAISING.
First Successful Attempt to Accli.
mate Mountain Climbers.

From the Scientific American.
A noteworthy result Of considerable
geological interest and scientific i'm
portance has obtained from the we'll
directed and successful efforts Of Dr.
rector w. T. Hornaday Of the New York
Geological Park in acclimating the
rocky mountain goat. This is the first
attempt to induce these animals, whose
accustomed habitat Is in the rarefled
atmosphere Of the highest peaks Of the
snowclad Rockies Of eight to ten
thousand feet elevation, to live and
thrive In the low altitude Of the At
lantic coast. Hitherto all young kids
intended for exhibition In the east have
died in a few months after their ar
rival. In October, 1906, DR.. Hornaday
personally conducted to New York the
present herd Of five goats, then young
kids about Ave months old, on a three
British Columbia, where they were cap
tured In the mountains a few weeks
after their birth.
All members Of the herd have re-
rival in the park. Their large corral,
a rustic log barn for shelter at night
and background OF natural rocks to
climb upon AFFORD them ideal conditions
Rocky mountain goat ever bred in
captivity was born in the New York
Geological Park. This specimen. a male.
Is now in perfect health, nearly mature.
The second addition to the herd &C.
Cured June Of the present year in
the birth Of fine young male.
They are the only ones in captivity
in the United States. and possibly not
a single specimen can be seen at pres
ent on the whole continent Of Europe.
In order to satisfy their remarkable
habit and fitness for climbing a unique
aerial playground is furnished them in
the shape OF the precipitous roof Of the
rustic barn of their Enclosure. An
amusing and spectacular sight is at
forded by the iock Of these sure-foot-
ed creatures scaling the incline and
scampering over and down the steep
roof.
There is no living animal that can
surpass the climbing feats of the noun
tain goat or take such desperate chances
on the rocks; The animal is practically
devoid Of all fear OF danger and is
built for stability and strength rather
than for speed. The hoofs have large
twin masses of rubberlike material. the
ball of which is so-t, and Enclosed In

Swiss National Park.

onsul-General r. E. Mansfield, OF
Zurich. says that the establishment of
a national park in Switzerland on the
plan of the Yellowstone National
Park in the United States, which has
been agitated by patriotic Swiss citi-
zens, societies and newspapers, is
proving effective. .
The proposal has been Endorsed by
the government and definite plan of
action adopted, which promises to re-
suit in the acquisition of a large and
suitable tract of territory in one of
the most picturesque and attractive
parts of Switzerland for park pur--
poses. After numerous investiga-
tons, journeys to different localities
and the consideration of various
propositions it has been decided to
acquire large tract of land in the
most secluded section of the Grisons,
including the Chuoza Valley, in the
heart of the Engadine, where nature
is still in it's primitive state. The site
selected is at the foot of the Piz Quat-
ervals, on the border of Italy, and isk
