San Francisco, Nov. 18.— ♦

The Y. M C. A fund reached the $15,000 mark by noon to ♦
♦
day, and the big clock turned with actual joy to that amount. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦
The exact sum at noon was $15,157.50, and with this mark any
doubt in the minds of the people who glanced at the big dial fad
ed away, as the doubts in the minds of the workers disappeared
and gave place to overwhelming enthusiasm when they started
the campaign Monday evening.
All of the captains of teams had not handed in reports at
noon, and the outlook for the day was exceedingly bright. Twen
ty captains are in the field, conducting the skirmishing among
the citizens of Eugene. Every man will be approached, Thor-
ougness and accuracy seem to be insisted upon as much as en
thusiasm.
The headquarters at Hull's drug store might well be the
Commercial Club, or the Merchant's Protective Association, The
same faces appear there that are found at the meetings of the
other influential bodies, and the same persistence and tysieni-
atic endeavor is in evidence. But the movement seems to have
more than an air of business. There is in it some of the fervor
of the crusader, attacking the enemy in the Holy Land. In this
campaign, however, the holy land happens to be Eugene and
Lane county, and the enemy the influences which attack the
manliness of youth.
The exact sum raised this morning was $7032.50, which
with the sum of $8125 gathered in by the workers yesterday on
their cash and quarterly subscription plans, the total assumed
proportions that made the big dial jump.
When the report is haaded in tonight, the first day's report
is certain to be surpassed.
