Annual Outing Will Be Enjoy
ed During Latter Part of
August Near Union
THE SITE is AN IDEAL ONE
Camp Will be Pitched on the Banks
Of the Iowa River, One Mile South
of tho Town-Good Facilities for
Bathing, Boating and Fishing, and an
Excellent Field for Athletic Sports.

The location for the annual camp of
the Railroad Y. Nj. c. A. has been de-
cided upon by General Secretary J. II.
Fellingham, and a better and more con-
venient place could not have been
chosen The camp ground will be on
the land owned by II. J. Benson, of this
tents will be pitched on the banks of
the Iowa river, near the Iowa Central
bridge that crosses that stream.
1t took a great deal of work to To-
cate the camp this year, but Secretary
Fellingham thinks that he has made no
mistake. Convenience to members who
have to spend the hours of the day In
the city, and wish to be in camp at
night, was the principal thing to be
considered. The old camp ground at
Moninger's had to be abandoned be-
cause of the fact that the Story City
branch train from the west does not
reach Marshalltown now until IL
o'clock which makes it too late for the
members to reach town. The site that
Mr.. Benson has cheerfully offered the
association is more attractive in every
way, and affords many advantages over
the old one. Among them are better
facilities for bathing, boating and fish
ing. and an excellent field for the attn
letic sports. Spring water is provided,
and there is an abundance of shade.
The camp will be completely removed
from public highways, and the site Will
afford pretty and picturesque land
scape. A convenient source of supplies
S another important feature.
The 1903 camp will be held later than
usual this year In order that the older
members, many OF whom are high
school students, who are anxious to at
tend the senior camp, may not have to
De obliged to give up their summer em-
1loyment until the week before school
begins in September. The Junior camp
which is for boys under 16 years of age,
Will begin on Aug. 90, and continue one
week. The older members and family
groups, who will form the senior camp,
will take possession of the grounds i'm
mediately after the conclusion OF the
Sept. 4.
The expense to members this year
will be just the actual cost OF the pro-
visions, and rental of tents and cots. A
fee of So in advance will be required
of each member. except where supplies
are furnished. in which case the value
of the supplies will be subtracted from
the required fee. AT the conclusion OF
each camp assessments or rebates will
be made, according to the actual ex-
pense.
Physical Director Schroeder will be
on the camp grounds during the entire
time to supervise the swimming of the
younger members and conduct the 9TH
er athletic sports. The cooking will be
done by committee from the Ladies'
Auxiliary, the members of which have
husbands or sons interested in the as
ISOLATION. Brief religious services will
be conducted in camp each day and
regular services will be held on Sun
days. Profane or obscene language will
not be tolerated on the grounds
1t is anticipated from the interest al
ready shown in the camps that the at
tendance will be larger than usual this
year. All who are planning to go
should consult with Secretary Telling
ham or Physical Director Schroeder at
once, in order that they may know in
ample time just how many may be ex-
pected to enjoy the outings.
