When the explanations and propo-
sition we're completed. there was a
ready and enthusiastic response upon
the part OF the people There was no
controversy as to the worth OF the
railroad proposed and but few addi-
tional suggestions as to the best man
ner in which to bring immediate and
cooperate action.
In the minds of those who have
kept In touch with this enterprise,
there is no more important enter
prise for Amarillo than the compile
tion OF this road Judge Crudging-
ton and DR.. w. W Cunningham talk
ed responsive TO the statements OF
Mr.. Pash, both OF them agreeing
heartily with the statements made by
him relative TO the importance and
immediate necessity of acting in the

turn will be submitted Monday after

and there Is nothing 10 indicate even
a hitch in the present plans.

Commerce presided and there were
approximately seventy-fiye represen'
tative men present.

 Reports from Team Captains.
 At this point the team captains re- ported the number of members already assured. Captain Pullen's team D was in the lead, having already secured 13 members for credit of 25 points. The other teams reported as follows: Team C, Noah Lucas captain, members, Il points; team A.

 The general secretary of the Bridge port Y. M, c. A, W. Seymour Lacy, was introduced as the principal speak CT of the evening and gave a very in- terest.ng talk.
 
 night, he said, are members of the most magnificent organization ever in- stituted in many ways. For those who are willing to take advantage of the opportunities for development which it offers 1t gives three times the value Of the money invested. The Y. M. C.. A. has been great power in promot- ing the cause of Jesus Christ and has had a marked impression on the busi- ness world. MT. Lacy spoke of much which has been accomplished by the organization and said the value of the Y. M. c. A. is realized by the big con- cerns, by the railroads, for instance, to such an extent that in many cases in the regular annual appropriations is a contribution for the support of the Y. M. c. A.
 Enthusiasm is big thing in fight ing this battle for new members. We must present the facts, point out the good work which is being accomplish ed. In other words, i've must adver- tise, we must show the people that they are really receiving three times the value of their money The Y NJ c. A. takes hand in building up the three parts of the man. The gymna- sium is devoted to the building up of the physical body. The great Glad SIOlc bdlu IudI IHe nidn LOO pussy lO exercise was like the workman too busy to sharpen his tools. The man must exercise. The Y. M. c. A. also takes a hand in educating the boys and young men, and, thirdly, no one can belong to the Young Mems Chris ton association without deriving moral benefit from it.,
 Work for All.
 General Secretary Starkey, President Case and the other officers have, like generals, carefully planned the line of action, Only one thing more re- mains necessary for the success of this campaign. That is that each one of the team members do his part. MT. Lacy was loudly cheered and applaud ed at the close. The meeting was then adjourned.
 On the close of the campaign next Friday there will be another rally of the teams.
