Young Women's Christian Association Opens Buliding Campaign
Organisation to Raise Funds for the Erection of a Home for the Proper Carrying on of the Work that is Being Done by'This Rapidly Growing Omaha Institution
4
WICE within tha past twenty
years the ritlzcns of Omaha have
been called upon to erect a suit
able building for the Young Men's
Christian association, the first
time In im and '87, when the present
building at Sixteenth and Douglas street
was built at a cost of fSO.W). and last
year when something over $120,0t0 was
solicited for the new building being erected
at Seventeenth and Harney streets. And
the city Is proud of a work for young
men which has made such demands. And
arac With this Christian movement for
men has grown a sister work for youmr
women, the Young Women's Christian as
sociation, but so modest have been Its
demands that, although it Is about to
enter Its fourteenth year and has a mem
bership of over 1,800, It Is comparatively
little known beyond the circle that Is in
terested In It.
' It was with something approaching
amazement, therefore, that many peoplo
received the announcement that the
Young Women's Christian association Is
about to begin an active canvass for $125.
000 for the erection of a building that will
be adequate to Its actual needs. Last sum
mer the association purchased the tri
angular property at the southwest corner
of Seventeenth and St. Mary's avenue at
a cost of $15,000. Of this $2,500 was sub
scribed by the members and the re
mainder by business men and others. Tho
lot Is two-thirds again as large as tha
ordinary city lot and. while Its location
Is considered out of the. way by manv.
It Is especially convenient for the several
hundred business women who visit Its res,
lunch and reading rooms dally.
Date for Active Camps Inn.
March 16 the active canvass for the $121.
000 will be begun and will last one month.
In this a large number of prominent local
women, besides several national work
ers, will participate. t
In addition to these 100 young business
women, members of the association, have
organized In tesms of ten for the raising
of at least $10,000, and while this may seem
a small proportion to be raised by the
members, considering the restrictions
placed upon their canvass It will be a cred
itable accomplishment. It Is by this means
that it Is hoped to reach the small sub
scribersthe Individuals, men and women,
with whom the finance committee might
not come In contact but who might, and
are desired to help, even to a small ex
tent. Women have ever had to look well
to the little things and the finance com
mittee realizes that there Is to be no ex
ceptions In their canvass.
The first active steps In the camnnlirn
were taken a week ago when the 100 busi
ness women members met together nt a
banouet. In the association rooms, truest
of the finance committee, and outlined
their plans.

The association took Its first steps toward
a building In 1897, but at that time the

Calgary Is the capital of the
cowboy country of the wild Ca
nadian west What was one
known as the Great American desert ex
tends from Montana north Into Canada. It
comprises a region more -than twice as
large as Ohio, running from the Rocky
mountains eastward, devoted to grazing.
The land though seml-arld Is covered with
the richest of grasses and It Is now sup
porting hundreds of thousands of cattle,
horses, sheep and hogs. According to the
last census there were 1,000,000 cattle In
Manitoba and tha northwest, a little more
than a third that many horses, and about
400,000 hogs and sheep. Large herds are
now brought from Texas here to be fed
and more than 40.000 beeves were shipped
on the hoof last year from Calgary to Eng
land. Just north of this region there Is a
dairy country where they are establishing
creameries with government assistance,
and where they expect to raise butter and
cheese for British Columbia and the orient.
Great Canadian Flange.
These stockmen claim to have mora grat
ing lands than we have. I have traveled
for hundreds of miles east and north of
Calgary through a rich -prairie country
covered with grass, and 1 am told such
lands run south to the United States line.
The Canadians say that their possible
ranching area Is bigger than Texas, and
some describe It Is equal to six states as
large as Pennsylvania.
Tha most of this country is now let out
on government leases. Tha annual rent Is
4 cents an acre, but the gross Is so thin
that It takes twenty acres to feed one head
of stock, and the government will not per
mit mora than that average number to be
graced on any of the ranches.
Our own cattle country has been greatly
overstocked. The grasses have bejn so cut
oft that they will not come up and our
Agricultural department Is encouraging re
seeding the plains. Here, In Canada, every
thing Is under rigid government super
vision'. The mounted police patrol the
ranches. They enforce tha protection of

women were asked to wait. They cheer
fully compll"d and did tffU'U.-nt work in
raising money for the educational depart
ment of the exposition. Since then, other
enterprises of a public and general charac
ter hove made demand upon the city and
for each and all of these the association
has had to wait. Three years ago an or
ganized effort was begun to secure tha
much needed building and tho time since
then has been devoted to acquainting the
puhllc with the great need as well as the
preliminary work. So nearly has the asso
ciation been self supporting that the com
mittee has had to explain away many erron
eous Idei.s that hud resulted through Igno
rance of the wolk. The fact that the great
work done In the past-hns cost the pub
lic so little encourages the women to be
lieve that the money required for the build
ing will be freely given and that they
will bo equipped for the much needed and
rapidly growing work.
Annie Kxlstlna Ilnlldlnas.
And In tho far of this canvass about to
bo made, a few facts regarding the associa
tion buildings of other cities and how
they have been acquired may be opportune.
The Detroit building, which Is the largest
and perhaps the most completely
equipped, cost, with the furnishings, $100,
OOiV Of this amount $V,C10 w-as given by
Miss Grace Whitney Jloff and another
$25,000 was the bequest of her father. The
lot cost $40,00f). The building, which Is a
five-story structure, Is the center of the
womep's Interests of the city. Its school of
domestic science Is a model and an Inspira
tion to other associations to "go and do
likewise."
The Minneapolis building, which was
tho gift of Mrs. W. P. Benton ns a me
morial to her husband, cost, with the lot,
something over $100 000. the furnishings
were given by the citizens.
The Milwaukee building was erected a
few yenrs ago nt a cost of $PO,flfO, and was
the gift, of Miss FlanMngton of that city.
The lot w.is purchnsed by the citizens.
These are three of the largest association
buildings In this country, and while they
are all comparatively new buildings their
work has already outgrown them. It Is
profiting by the experience of these asso
ciations that the Omaha women propose to
erect a building that will be adequate to
the demands so rapidly Increasing.
Ponghkecpsle has Just dedicated a hand
some new building, of which It Is said that
every citizen contributed to Its building
fund.
Organisation of I.oenl Society.
Lowell. Mass , Paterson. N. J., Rockford,
111., and Ottumwa, la., are other cities that
have or will dedicate new buildings within
the year and there are forty-flve others In
process of erection besides these. Indicating
the demand and the recognition of the
value of this work, of which It has been,
truly said: "It touches the girl at any
point of contact and from that point pro
ceeds to help the whole girl." Twenty
five cities, most of them smaller than
Omaha, already have Young Women's
Christian association buildings.
Cattle and Horses
the cattle against diseases, and have dip
ping stations where all the stock that
comes Into the country Is examined and
treated to prevent the introduction of
Texas fever and other plagues. These
police have veterinary surgeons with them
and they watch carefully all cattle from the
United States.
I Jin d of Fine Stock.
Most of the stock raised here Is well
bred. One thousand dollars Is by no means
a high price for a bull, and there are cat
tle sales at Calgary every year which coin
pare favorably with any In the United
States. The favorite animal Is the Short
horn, but there are many Polled Angus and
Galloways. The best breeding stock comes
from England,- and there are some ranch
men who make a specialty of raising choice
beef for the English market. The Cunuda
Cattle company, which has 40,000 head on
Its different ranches, ships Its stock on
the hoof to England. The animals are all
grass fed, and the sanitary regulations
are such that they must be killed within
eight days after landing In Great Britain.
Sir William Van Home has a big farm
la western Canada which is noted for Its
fine cattle, and there are many rich farm
ers in Manitoba. Right in the heart of
tho wheat belt Thomas Greenway, a for
mer premier of that province, has a farm
of 2,000 acres, but he plants' only one-half
of this In grain and devotes the balance
to raising highly-bred Shorthorns. He has
now 200, and says they are the most profit
able part of hie farming operations. .
The Armour of Canada.
One of the best known ranching men of
the west is Patrick C. Bums of Calgary.
He Is the Armour of this part of the world,
and Is sometimes called the cattle king
of the British northwest. He shipped 3,500
carloads of beeves lost year, and he has
now about 20.000 head In his yards. He
has a big trade with Manitoba, British
Columbia and Alaska. At the beginning
of the Klondike gold discovery he got $1,000
apiece at Dawson for steers, and as much
as $1 a pound for beef on the hoof. .
Pat Burns came to Calgary about twenty-five
yours ago, and began life by plow

FLASHLIGHT PHOTOGRAPH OF THE
Thirteen years ago, April 24, 1S03, the
Omaha Young Women's Christian associa
tion was organized with fifty-four, active
and thirty-three associate members, the
first work being tho furnishing of three
rooms In the McCague building for a noon
rest and lunch room and educational, re
ligious and social work. From this be
ginning It has grown to the sixth associa
tion In this country In point of numbers
and third In the number of Bible classes
and its lunch and noon rest for women.
Before the close of the first year more
commodious rooms were secured in the Bee
building, and here the association worked
and grew until the summer of 1S97, when'
what was known as the old library rooms
In the Paxton block were secured. Three
years ago five adjoining rooms were rented
nd In these outgrown quarters the associa
tion Is housed today.
The membership has grown from the
eighty-six charter members to 1,845 mem
bers and tho work has grown apace.
The first year there were U.Wo lunches
ing up tho prairie at so much per acre. He
turned his savings Into cattle, and let them
graze on government lands. As ho mado
more money he bought more cattle, and, to
make a long story short, he is now a mil
lionaire and Is growing richer and richer.'
It was In his office in Calvary that I
chatted with this man on cattle raising.
Said he:
"There has never been such a country
for money making as this. All we have
had to do has been to turn the cattle out
on the prairie and let them grow into gold.
The climate Is such that they can feed out
of doors all the year round and the crass
fattens them almost as well as grain. I
am now shipping to Liverpool stock which
have never tasted corn. They are grass
fed and their flesh is hard enough to stand
the voyage."
( "Not as well as grain fed stock?" asked I.
"Perhaps not," was the reply. "But they
cost less to raise und they are worth more
money ta us."
Canada Cuttle for England.
"What can you get for a good steer, Mr.
Burns?"
"A 4-year-old fit for the market will bring
$40 here," was the reply. .
"What will it sell for in Liverpool?"
"Seventy-live or eighty dollars. It costs
Just about $30 to get It there, for we must
send it 2.000 miles by rail and then across
the Atlantic ocean. The people who handle
such cattle expect to make $7 or $S a head."
"How much do such animals wehjh?"
"I have shipped many which have aver
aged one ton each, and we sell hundreds
which will weigh 1,600 pounds. Such beasts
are entirely grass fed."
"But will turf the stock business now fall
off? I understand that the ranches are
being cut up Into farms."
"Yes, that will be the case with ranching
pure and simple, although stock raising
will increase. It now takes ten acres of
wild grass to support one steer, while on
the farms the same land will supnort ten.
We have now about 150,000 cattle In this
vicinity. We shall eventually have 1.&J0.
000." "But what kind of feed can you raise for

served. Ia,st year there were 106.142, or an
average of 539 dally. The receipts for all
purposes tho first year were $1,1'!). Iast
year they were $18,760.45. For thirteen years
the association has faithfully administered
to tho spiritual, Intellectual and sociul
wants of young women, and It Is one of
the most nearly self-supporting associa
tions In the country.
In this respect It Is looked to with ad
rrlratlon by all other associations, but na
tional workers have on several occasions
criticised Its Independence on the ground
that In asking so little of the community
It prevented many from knowing of Its
work. Last year about $500 was solicited
for running expenses, this being the largest
amount ever asked, and was only made
necessary through a necessity of additional
equipment that drew heavily upon the as
sociation finances.
Work of the Organisation.
The devotional work Includes Bible
study, a gospel service every Sunday aft
Are Raised in the
fattening stock? You are too far north for
corn."
"Ye don't expect to raise hrn.' We
have wheat, oats and barley. Much of the '
beer meat . Is now made of wheat. The
screenings and rouxh wheat are saved for
feed and the cattle graze on the stubble.
When wheat is low it is more profitable to
feed it than sell it. I know a man who
recently tried the experiment of fattening
hogs with wheat, lie had sixteen and he
fed them on wheat that cost 70 cents a
bushel. The hogs fattened so easily that
his wheat, turned Into pork, netted him a
$1.25 a bushel. Wheat at 50 cents a bushel
will bring far more In pork or beef than
at the elevator.
"Barley Is another feed that makes good
pork." continued Mr. Burns. "It grows
well In Canada and It will to a large ex
tent take the place that corn does in the
United fclates. Our barley fed hogs will
bring several cents more per pound than
your corn fed hogs. I expect to sue a
barley pork packing center grow up here."
"Does Canada buy much of our meat?"
"YeH, we get moBt of our pork from Chi
cago, and we are also buying veal to fill out
our shipments to England. All your meat
that comes here pays u tariff of 2 cents a
pound, but even at that your packing ar
rangements are on such a vast scale that
you have so far been able to undersell us.
We are also Importing poultry Into eastern
Canada from the United States.. I brought
in twenty-five carloaUa of turkeys last
Christmas. Eventually we will raise these
things ourselves, and we will be shipping
fowls direct to Engand."
Raisins; Blooded Horses.
One of the large stock businesses here Is
horse raising. I saw thousands of horses
feeding on the prairies between here and
Medicine Hat, and passed large herds on
my way north to Edmonton. The horses
are fine looklri'. The day of the broncho
and the broncho bu -ter have passed, and in-
animals now breeding are handled by tho
stockmen so that they are comparatively
tame when ready to break. Nearly all the
be.st known horses ap represented. There
are f."yd- from Scotland, thoroughbred
Shires fron England and Percherons from
France. Some of the ranchers are raising
tn.ttlng stock an I others park saddlers for
our city niar':cts Robin Adair, vlilch re-,
cently took the first prize at the New York
horse show, was reared just nutslJa of Cal
gary, and near by there la a stcckman who
has !.?'( Picl eron mnres. There are stal
lion shows here every year nnd they com
pare with the cattle shows In quality.
Visit to n More Flinch.
I drove o-:t over the prairie yesterday to
the Rolilnsun horse ranch. This Is devoted
to rearing Clydesdale and Fhlres for the
mnrk-ts of British Columbia and eastern
Canada. These horses are In great demand
In the mlnlnff regions, some of them going
as far north pr. Alaska. Lravlng Calsary,
we drove for several hours over a rolling
prairie covered with a thick gras, now
cured into hay. It Is b.-own on top but
green rear the rocts. The horses feed on
such grass all the year round. They are
pastured In the midst of the winter, even
when the ground Is covered with snow.
They paw the snow away with their feet,
and, as the cowboys tell me, come out bog
fat In the spring.
The ranch buildings here consist of a
dwelling worth perhaps shout $?.oro, a barn
the sib of a country livery stable and a
number of corrals. The horses live on tha
prairies and the buildings are compara
tively cheap. The owner of this ranch, al
though he Is worth VCJW. lives as simply
as the ordinary store cl' rk of one of our
cities. His house here is comfortable, but
not pretentious, and during our call his
wife epologlxed for her appearance, saying
that she had lust come from superintend
ing the dressing of some hogs which had
been killed that morning. She charted
freely about her ranch life, saying that she
preferred It greatly to that of San Fran.

In literature, English, arithmetic, vocal

In a chat with Mr. Robinson about horse
rearing he said:
"Our horses take cara of themselves. Wre
graze them for a part of the year on the
prairies here near the Elbow river, and
later on drive them to the foothills of the
Rockies, where we have another larse
grazing territory. We find It best to let
the horses hustle for themselves. They
come out stronger and are worth more than
grain-fed stock.
"We formerly paid considerable attention
to breeding, keeping the slock up for that
purpose. Of late years we have turned the
stallions out with the horses and let all
hustle for themselves. We divide the horses
up Into droves of about fifty each and give
every drove a stallion, keeping the droves
separated for two or three woe ks to allow
them to become acquainted with each
ether. The animals are then driven to
gether into one herd und they pasture in
common. Every stallion, however, will take
care of his own marcs. He will not allow
any of the others of his Bex to come near
them and will flsht for them on the slight
est provocation."
Draft Horses Par Best.
"What breeds of horses are the most
profitable?"
"We can moke more money from draft
horses than from any others. I have about
300 4-eur-old animals which will weigh 1,500
pounds apiece. Those horses will bring $400
a pair, and they are far easier to raise
than the thoroughbreds and require less
trouble to train them for the market."
"What breeds are your draft animals?"
"They are chiefly Clydesdales. I like
them better than the Percherons. Their
limbs are cleaner and they are better for
general purpose horses."
"How are they broken?"
"We have little trouble as to that," re
plied the horse rancher. "I have one boy
who has broken more than 1,000 horses.
We first get them used to the halter. This
Is a matter of a couple of huurs. After
that we hitch up each animal with a quiet
old stater and drive the team alxiut for
a day or so. Later still we harness tho
horse up with another horse of the same
age which we are training. We put on
the brakes and let the colts go as fcut as

plan of serving very little hired help Is
required and so the lunch room yields a
small profit to the association.
The rest rooms are equipped with
couches, to which scores and scores of
tired women come daily for rest, espe
cially during the noon hour, which is Im
proved to the utmost by women employed
In the stores who must be on their feet
the greater part of the day. The reading
room Is furnished with the best current
magazines, periodicals and daily papers
and a small library and also a supply of
comfortable chairs.

Stockmen Avalnst Farmers.
I find soinewnat the same wicuuii be
tween the cattlemen und sheepmen here as
in tho United Slates. The government
regulates whore ihu sheep 1 -uici.es aie lo
be and the result is that thine are leuui
sIiulv man caltle or horses.
The calilcmun also object to the larnis
which are t'lowuib' up in Hie slock country.
Witiuu the lusl few years it lias been
found thai almost all of thesu scml-aria
lands will raise winter wheal, and a lai'tu
part of such iaiidd are being turned iulo
farms. I met here ul Calvary a Chicago
man who hud lciicud in 1,1'AI acres. He
iiad bought this tract 111 the heart ol a
lien grazing coui.lry and was uboul to
laise winter wheat, Tne stockmen warned
him to leave and cut his fences. After
they hod dune tills several times he called
upon the head of the mounted police, Colo
nel Saunders, and said:
"I have coino to see if my rights cannot
be protected. I am not a Canadian citi
zen, but I am an American who has bought
property in Canada. 1 have a clear title
to my farm, but your stockmen say that
I shall not till it and tiiey have cut my
fences again und ugaln."
"I think we can protect you," replied the
chief. "I will send yuu an ofllcer and lie
will sweur in your hired men as members
of our police force. After that they can
arrest anyone who dares touch your fences
or destroy your crop. If the intruders re
sist arrest and your lorn gliuot them in
carrying out their duties that act will be
perfectly legal."
Thereupon the Chicago man went back to
his ranch. A few days later his hanos
were made temporary members of the
mounted police, and from thai Lime on he
iiad no further trouble.
I would say, however, that the Canada
cowboy is a fj.r more orderly creature than
his American brother. He lacks the plc

never dashes into the settlements to

In the associations of some of tho larger
cllles more young women are enrolled in
the educational classes than In any one of
the women's colleges of this 'country, and
as has been sail, "Here Is a means of edu
cationnot a college education but an
education for the girl who missed college;
trie girl who does not know our language;
the girl who w is taken out of school when
In the fourth grade to go to work 1n a mill
or In a shop; the xlrl who has missed tho
opportunity of an early education,"
As has been so well stated by an officer
of the local association: "In tho changed
and changing social and industrial condi
tions, women by the thousands must go
out of tho home to help do the world's
work. Just as In all times past she has
done her share In the home. There are
questions to be settled by organizations,
unions, by legislation, stato and federal, to
meet humanely the conditions of the wage
eainlrii? woman; but there Is need now and
will be when all is done for the community
lo make up to there women the lack of
home, school and church privileges. This
In a most emphatic way the Young Wom
an's Christian association does, not in a
charitable or patronizing way, but In a dig
nified. Belf-respectlng way. Not alone to
the wage-earning weman, but the women
of tho home and the girls who have had
college' advantages, the association minis
ters and jrlves opportunity for fellowship,
culture and service. Every gift and talent
may be exercised for the good of: others."
