GYMNASIUM Is OPENED.
ming Enjoyed by Over Two
Hundred and Fifty.

DScorah's new gymnasium, es-
tablished and maintained by the
business men OF the city for the
boys of DEBORAH, was formally
opened on Monday evening with a
splendid booster banquet, which
was participated in by over $50
business men and boys of the city,
and it was an occasion of much
moment to all who are interested
in providing a place of wholesome
amusement and development for
the boys of the city. The banquet
was served by the Christian En-
deavor society, and the service was
excellent. At it's close Rev. G. S.
Lakeland, Scout Master and super
of the gymnasium, acting
as POSTMASTER, introduced in the
order named, H. j. Green, A. R..
Coffeen, E. C.. Bailey, E. j. Hook,
and F. E. Biermann, who made
short speeches appropriate to the
occasion, after which the new build
ing was inspected by those present,
and the boys were invited by w. F.
Baker to attend the Empire Thea
tire, as guests OF the proprietor, Mr..
Holcomb.
The progress of the gymnasium
and Boy Scout movement and the
purchase and remodeling of the De-
corah Institute building for this
purpose has been noted in detail
from time to time in these columns.
1t is sufficient to state at this time
that DEBORAH now has an institution
that the need of has been felt for
years, a place for the entertainment
and development of the youth of
the city along right lines, establish
ed and maintained by the business
men of the city through the sup
port of the DEBORAH Commercial
Club. There is large, high gym
nasium room with steel ceiling and
sealed side walls, and balcony ov-
er the rear for spectators, the room
being equipped with apparatus OF
many kinds; and in the basement a
hundred lockers, shower baths,
reading room and heating plant, all
modern and convenient in every
way. The work of rebuilding has
been done by A. r. Coffeen, con-
tractor, and speaks well for his
ability along these lines. The Boy
Scout and gymnasium movement
was started by Rev G.. s. Lakeland
who effected a Boy Scout organiza-
ton, presented the matter of gym
nasium to the Commercial Club, and
stood behind the movement from
the beginning. He is responsible
for its success. He has given much
time to the Boy Scout and gymna-
stun work, as we'll as the manage
ment of the institution. In the
gymnasium work he has had able
assistance from Prof. Gammertsfel-
der. To all of these men and to
the committee representing the
Commercial Club as well as other
citizens who have interested them
selves in the proposition is due the
credit for the completion of this en-
should be proud that this city has
taken a forward step in matter
which so directly concerns every
home in the city.

E. E. Innis, l.. F. Schuhmac cher,
c. S. Hulburt and the pastor went
to Ashland Sunday. Bro. Robinson
is happy. His church which was
organized in April has eighty mem.
beers. Rev. Bennett and his singer
closed meeting on Sunday night.
There were forty-two additions.
Thirty-five were baptized. Bro.
John Kelth's sister and her daugh-
ter were among the number. Fol-
lowing the baptizing three good
men were ordained as deacons.
The Plains church has called A.
H. Dent of Missouri as pastor. He
will soon be on the field.
Students attending the Normal
will find welcome at our church.
Senator Thomas M. Potter of
Peabody, Kan. says, 81 much pre-
fer the Christian UNCONVENTIONAL
college, for that is the only educa-
tional institution that can, without
restraint, develop the whole man."
Pres. J. J. Hill of the Great
Northern R. R. says, "There is
something about a UNCONVENTIONAL
college that always appeals to me.
1t is a character builder. / believe
In keeping the boy in the religious
paths of his ancestors. Too many
young people are sent to non
sectarian college. No one is to
guide them, and they gather a great
many ideas that lead them astray.
In the unconditional college they
stay, by the old precepts, and the
foundations, which were laid in the
home are burlded upon to the great
benefit of the student.
Our advocacy of the Christian
College is not intended as acritcism
of the State Schools. They do eff
fcient and necessary work. No
one can Justly blame their manage
ment for not giving a thorough
course in Biblical Literature and
Christian doctrine. In the very
nature OF the case this is, under
present conditions, impossible.

A man who never advertises said
to the writer the other day, "The
people of this town know my store
we'll enough and they know me. If
they want to buy anything l have,
they will come around and see me-"
1t may be admitted that the people
who have lived here right along
know of the existence of this store,
but what do they know about it7
The people all know about the
cemetery, but they don't go there
much except when some friend is
buried. People don't care to both
er much nowadays about stores
unless they believe the owners there
of are enterprising men. They want
to deal with merchants who seem
wide awake enough to get good
bargains and who have spirit to
hustle, to reach out for large trade
and thus reduce the costs Of rent,
clerk hire, taxes and other "over-
head charges" The man who never
solicits public patronage impresses
people as too passive to look after
their interests atteatively.-

We have read the following lines
and have paused to wonder~-is there
an individual in our town whom the
lines would describe. If so, here's
hopeing they mend their ways.
"Knocking the man that he sees on
the street,
Knocking his neighbor wherever
they meet;
Knocking at business. knocking at
play,
Knocking because he can't have his
own way,
Knocking the preacher, knocking
the pew,
Knocking the man who dares come
in view,
Knocking his enemy, knocking his
friend,
Until we all wish his knocking
would end.

FREAK RAILROAD LAWS.

 One of the freak railroad laws o. Arizona has thtown an old time rail
 road man out of a job. Many years ago W. II. Barney went to work for the Santa Fe. as a brakeman. He was
 good man. and was rapidly pro
 noted. In about two years and a half
 after he went to work for the Santa Fe company he was running a pas seuEer train. and has been a pas senger conductor ever since. The last Arizons legislature. which knew moro
 about railroad business than all the railroad men in the country, passed Ia jaw providing that before man
 e.as allowed to be a conductor Of a passenger train he must have ex. perience, and must have served three years as a brakeman and freight con. ductor. Barney, after two and haif years as a brakeman and freight conductor and thirty years experience as a passenger conductor is not com petent to serve as a passenger con dGctor, because of lack Of legal ex
 pesienee, and tfe company had 10 tIke him of the passenger train. The Santa Fe company looks out for its .empioyes. and it is probable that MT
 Barney will not suffer. The Santa Fe has lines in other states than Arizona
