The club, realizing that Murray Is 10,

property along three transcontinentai
RAILWAYS that pass through the CITY,

sources developed and factories es-

Transformation OF the natural products
which abound in the state or Utatl

Toward the end of improving agri-

MOVEMENT TO
SECURE GYMNASIUM.
uIrl, School Students Take Steps to
Have Athletic institution
Installed.

ogden, Dec. 10.-Probably no town
Of any consequence in the state or in
the west needs gymnasium SO badly
M, ogden. Last year. vigorous cam
paign was carried on by students of
the Weber academy, which was later
augmented by the assistance of the
Mutual Improvement associations Of
the county and for time it looked as
though good. modern building,
equipped with every athletic contri-
vance, would be built during the sum
mer months. However, for some un-
explained reason, the movement has
apparently died and again tho young
people OF the community are raising
their voices in a plea for some suitable
place to gain physical training. An
open letter signed by committee OF
high school students. states that at
the present time the young men Of
the city have no means Of gaining a
systematic training physically and the
fact that numerous small towns In all
parts Of the state are we'll equipped
this way, is cited. At the Weber
academy the spirit OF last years cam
paisn still shoulders and hopes are
still entertained for a new building.
Several prominent citizens of the
community offered to subscribe
amounts varying from, $500 to $4,000 to-
ward the movement and II those who
were back OF the campaign last season
will put forth extra efforts now, there
seems to be every Indication that a
thoroughly equipped gymnasium will
rise as a monument to such efforts.
