Camp Ripley Established at Big Pond
twenty-five in Party.

Rev. Mr.. Ripley went into camp
Landing, Big Pond, last Monday
morning. The party, with the cooks,
comprises twenty-five this year, as
against seventeen last year. 1t looks
as though the enterprise was going
to be a permanent thing, at least as
long as the present dominic is at
the head of the Methodists here.
fine an appearance as now. The
boys have put two full days of work
upon the grounds, removing the
great rocks and loose stones and
levelng up depressions until it is
almost as smooth as floor. The
sleeping tents are arranged in the
form of hollow square, the north
side opening to the lake, and in the
center sort of reception canopy
affords shelter from sun and rain,
and commands a fine view of the
water. Back short distance up
the road which runs parallel with
the stream flowing from the spring
about half a mile above the camp,
are the kitchen and mess tents. A
few of the boys went up last Fri
day and built a large stone arch,
laid in cement. Upon this the
cooking is done. A fine table under
the mess canopy accommodates the
whole party at one sitting. Two
boys rotate daily in waiting on table
and helping the lacies at any neces-
sary work in preparation of the
meals. There are eight tents, all
told, on the ground. The camp fires
are the interesting features of the
evening, vieing successfully with
those of the Y. NJ. c. a. camp only
about a quarter of a mile away, and
sending their bright light clear
across to the cottages on the north
side. baseball nine of these boys

Every thing is going beautifully,
and the boys are having the time

are always welcome, and especially
those who have provisions to con-
tribute. Should any friend with
soft heart toward this boy enter

vision question, let him leave bread
or canned goods, or any other good
thing to eat, at the store of Welsh

BLOODHOUNDS ON TRAIL.
$500 Reward Offered by the Father
of the Jordan Boy.

of the Jordan Boy.
The Scranton Truth of Monday
says:
An effort to secure bloodhounds
to be set on the trail of Joseph Jor-
dan, the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs.
P. J. Jordan, of 1928 North Main
avenue, who disappeared Thursday
afternoon, and the offering of a re-
ward of $500 by the worn-out father
for the return of his son, dead or
alive, are the developments since
Saturday in this strange case. An
effort is being made to secure blood
hounds at the Auburn state prison
in New York.
County Detective NJ. A. Rafter has
taken up the case and secured from
Captain Robinson the services of
several OF the state police, who will
work with Mr.. Rafter in trying to
locate the missing youth. This end
of the state will be thoroughly
searched. In following the trail of
the boy the bloodhounds ought to
prove of great value.
boy since he left home Thursday
afternoon at o'clock to collect bo-
tanical specimens except few hours
after, when he was seen going along
a road leading to the West Mountain,
where he told his mother he was
going.
AS to the theory that the boy
might he held by some one, Mr..
Jordan said he is not wealthy man
and there would be no temptation
in his case for such a move.
Prof. NJ. II. Jordan, vice-prin-
cipal at the Central High school, an
uncle of the missing youth, left on
an early morning Lackawanna train
to-day for Greene, y. Y, expecting
to secure hounds at a kennel owned
Il national reputation for handling
bloodhounds. About 10 o'clock
Monday morning Mr.. Jordan re-
ceived the disappointing telephone
message from his brother that Fin
negan had moved away. He then
went on to Auburn to confer with
the state prison officials about Sc
curing hounds if they have any.
The disappearance of the boy is
as big a mystery as the day of his
leaving home and his anguished
parents and relatives are just cling
ing to the hope of news of his being
found.
