proper developement of the moral

The Y. M. G.. A. will give your boy
an evening of pleasure without
evil surroundings. 1t will be q
school of development in which
all the latent good in the boy
will'be brought out. His manly
and noble instincts will he
encouraged. His energies will be
directed :lcng lines that are the
best for him. The swimming pool
the bowling alley, the gymnasium
the various manly indoor and out

pleasure and physical development
while every thing immoral
will be rigidly excluded. BY ali
means we must have a Y. M. C. A.
for the sake of our boys. To be
sure it will cost US something but
are our boys not worth the expense?

SAYS MEXICO IS
VERY UNSETTLED
VISITOR TO CITY SAYS HE FEARS
NEW REGIME WILL BE FAR
FROM SUCCESS.

A. Won Rie, who has been a resident
or Oklahoma for a number of years,
was in the city yesterday on business.
Mr.. Won Rie has just returned from
Old Mexico where he has large timber
concessions on the western coast en-
bracing 22I0O0 acres Of mahogany
cedar and rosewood
I'm speaking of the late unpleasant
ness down there he, is not very favor
ably impressed with the insurrectos
or with their leader. He predicts that
they will be fighting among themselves
before the end of two years, and thar
the country will be in an unsettled
state for several years to come. He
says that the country is at present in
no state to do business in, but hores
that things will soon become normal.
The timber lands that he obtained
concessions on are now the prop
erty of the Moran syndicate, and they
will begin to erect mills and build
steam boats within the next year and
get the timber on the market. The
land was purchased by him for $1,25
per acre in fee simple with ten years
in which to pay for the same, without
taxes or interest. He estimates that
he will clear something over a mil
lion dollars on the transaction. After
the timber is removed and the land
cleared it will be set in rubber trees.
Mr. Won RE has many friends in
this city having done business here
several years ago with the various
lumber men.
