ject, it was decided to defer action
for one year on account of the fact
that it was very strongly advised by
the state secretary that no Organiza-
ton be formed until suitable
building could be provided.
However, a little later in Febru-
airy, 1910, booster clubs were Orga-
nized in the various churches by the
suggestion of the Presbyterian
Brotherhood and DR.. Stevenson.
Sentiment was worked up by these
booster clubs when it was found that
the conditions were favorable for
launching a campaign to secure
funds for the building. Accordingly
in March. Mr.. Wilcox again made a
visit to Wenatchee and organized an
executive committee. After careful
consideration by the committee, it
was decided that fund OF about
$4,000 could reasonably be sub
scribed, and with this amount it was
thought that a building could be
erected which would be suitable for
the needs of the association in We
natchee
this committee it was decided thai
an attempt should be made to raise
After a number of meetings of
$35, 900 Accordingly, on the 23rd
day of May, a campaign was started
to secure subscriptions for this
amount and it was decided to raise
the full amount in six days. This
was accomplished SO successfully
that the total amount subscribed
was somewhat in excess of $4,000.
The association was assured of hav-
ing a building which should not on
ly be a credit to the town but should
provide suitable quarters for carry
ing on the association work.
Organization Formed.
The association has been duly or
ganized by the election of a board
of trustees and officers. The board
Of trustees is composed of the fol-
lowing named members: Arthur

OF the winter as the conditions will
permit and work will be pushed as
rapidly as possible. 1t is hoped to
have the building completed ready
for occupancy not later than July,
1911, possibly before that time. 1t

YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS new BUILDING

After holding a number of meet
Ing the board of trustees selected
the present site on the corner of
Orondo and Chelan avenues, which
is rs by 100 feet. At a meeting on
August LIST, 1910. the board of trus-
tees called o. E. Mclaughlin as gem
eral secretary of the local organiza-
ton. He was then serving as gem
eral secretary of the Pontiac, Ills,
association. which position he re-
signed and came to Wenatchee, TAX
ing charge of the local work on Sep
TENDER 10th.
Membership Campaign.
Under his efficient management a
membership list has been started
which has been subscribed to in a
very satisfactory manner. Sunday
afternoon religious meetings have
been started with every promise of
great success. A number of enter
tainments have been held for men,
and the association seems to be
starting out under very suspicious
circumstances.
A perspective drawing of the
building has been made by the ar
chitects ana will be on exhibition in
d prominent display window. From
this perspective cut has been made
and large supply of post cards Or
dered.
World Wide Movement.
The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation is recognized as the greatest
Christian brotherhood in the world
It's influence is felt the world
around, having organizations in
every country in the world. The
Young Mems Christian Association
stands for the development of the
spirit, mind and body and the social
life of men. The young manhood
of Wenatchee will have the oppor-
tunity of receiving the benefits of
fered by this agency that has meant
so much to other cities.
Source of Civic Pride.
1t should be a source of great civic
pride to every citizen of Wenatchee
that We are to have an open door for
the young manhood of the city. 1t
IS hard to estimate the influence for
good that centers from this organi-
cation for men; place where men
and boys will always find a home
down town: a place that throws
mean for their development along
right lines. It's fellowship, club
rooms. gymnasium, baths, classes
and all other practical advantages
are open to all young men, of all

Will Fill Long Felt Want
The need of the Young Mems
Christian Association in Wenatchee
has been felt for many years,-in
fact, about three years ago num-
Der of our citizens, realizing the
need of the organization here, had
talked the matter over. Guilford
Mari, acting as a self appointed COM
mittee, obtained an option on a cor
ner which he regarded to be a suit
able site for the building. Not re-
ceiving the support of others. which
he had expected, the matter was
dropped for the time.

Der, 1909, on the solicitation of w.
A. Thompson, State Secretary c. w.

The gymnasium is one of the main
features of Young Mems Christian

err than is usual for buildings the
have this gymnasium equipped with
the best appliances and 1t is expect
ed that this will be one of the main
features of the work in Wenatchee,
the need for which has been felt
very keenly in the past The build
ing is lighted throughout by large
handsome windows and will be, for
this reason, very pleasant place to
spend a few hours.
The basement is occupied, in the
front, by two large class rooms
which can be thrown together by the
removal of a rolling partition MAX
ing it possible to use it as one room
in case of lectures, banquets, or 9TH

basement is occupied by the boiler
room and the fuel room.
D0rmitory for Young Men.

At least four men were implicated

People Realize the Dancer.

AS an indication of the force of the
crusade against tuberculosis, the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, in a bull
letin issued recently points to the fact
that while 53.5 per cent. of the ex-
penditures for tuberculosis in 1909
were made from public resources, ap-
preparations made for 1910 indicate
that over rs per cent. of the money
to be spent this year will be from fed
eral, state, city and county funds. In
1909, out of the $s,1SO,621.5O spent for
the prevention and treatment of tn.
berculosis, 1882 50.O3 was spent
from public money, and $751;, S71.47
from funds voluntarily contributed.
For the carrying on of state, federal
and municipal tuberculosis work in
1910, over 5000, 900 has been appro-
priated. Of this sum, the state legis.
latures have granted $4,1O0,0O0, the
