Circulars issued by the secretaries of the Association tell of their work and of the interest taken in it by citizens of other cities. "It may seem to some that we are asking: for a large sum when we try to raise $350.0OO,M said Genera! Secretary H. W. Stone last nlKht, "but In comparison with the schedule of the building values and population of other cities, our work is small." Thirty-three speakers will deliver short addresses on the work of the Y. M. and T. W. C. A. this morning at as many different churches, and the members of the various congregations will be asked to do all in their power in support of the building movement. Records of the Association show that during the past year and a half every city west of Chicago of 75,000 inhabitants or over, with the single exception of Minneapolis, has raised a large sum of money to replace old buildings with new equipment, as well as many cities of the Kast.

"Portland already having raised $230,000 towards this necessary $350,000 fund, It would be a civic disaster to lose the en tire movement for the lack of the remain ing $130,000 necessary," said an officer of the Association yesterday. "While it would be a great relief at this time if ome wealthy person or persons would come forward and pay this entire amount there Is absolutely no prospect that such will be done, and if It can be secured by a general canvass It will surety be much more desirable. So it remains for everyone who is interested In seeing these buildings erected In this city to have a part by giving and working to secure the necessary amount.' The following facts in respect to the Young Men's Christian Association tell of Us growth and work: Tho present buildings was more than outgrown over two years ago, since when the city has continued to increase as never before and the largest per cent of addition to the population has been young men who need the advantage of Just such kind of an institution most. There are 1S27 members 570 more than one year ago. The Portland Association does the larg est educational work of any Association in a city of its size in the United States. There are 665 different students in the educational classes last season. This year the number will be close to 800, giv ing it a larger number of students than any college or university in the state. The young men who secure these ad vantages and privileges pay from 70 to SO per cent of the cost of these advan tages, while the sons of a wealthy man, who go to Harvard and Yale, pay less than 15 per cent of the cost of their education. The physical department of the Port land Young Men's Christian Association had about 1000 different men and boys registered in gymnasium classes during the past year, making it the largest ath letic or physical culture organization of any kind on the Pacific Coast. The boys' department has 4S5 members and Is the largest boys' club or organiza tion west of Chicago. Work of X. W. C. A. For six years the Young Women's Christian Association has furnished a nomeitKe luncn room, a well-equipped reading-room anrd rest rooms that have been visited dally by over 200 women and girls. Many a one has been too 111 to do more than rest on a couch at tended by some ministry from one of the secretaries and has found these rooms a refuge indeed. The magazines on the reading-room table have been a source of much pleasure and profit to many a girl. The lunch room, with its pleasant companionship with other young wo men, and freedom from the temptation of forming hurtful restaurant ac quaintances, has been truly a blessing. No public building In the city is used more constantly than the rooms of the Y. W. C. A Offices, libraries, halls, dining-room, rest rooms and pantry aside from their normal uses are at night converted into centers of activity, being used as class rooms or transient bedrooms. The dining-room becomes an audience room or reception hall, as occasion demands. - ' One will find in this busy beehive at noon more than 200 girls for lunch or rest or reading. In tne evening many girls are learning to make their shirt waists, dresses and bats foreign girls are studying- English, American girls are learning foreign languages, artis tic jErivIs in mandolin and guitar clu5s.
