Round-up Boosters Meet.

A meeting Of the executive board
and directors of the Roundup asso-
citation was held yesterday and plans
for construction work on the new sta
dunn discussed. 1t was decided to
build the grandstand with slight
arch, following the curvature of the
track and to make rs foot straight
away on the near side Of the track
and a As foot straightaway on the
back side. The advisability of send
ing a representative to meet with fair
delegates in Spokane on February
was also discussed but no definite ac-
ton taken. The prevailing sentiment,
however, was that the Roundup
should be represented in order to pre-
vent a conflict of dates between the
local exhibition and other northwest
events.

SEA SCOUTING

A New Field of Effort for the Boy
Scouts of America.
Sea scouting for boys Is q means Of
arousing greater interest among Ameri-
cans in the merchant marine is advocated
strongly by A. A. Carey, secretary Of the
Waltham Watch Co., Of Waltham Mass,
and great enthusiast in the Boy Scout
movement. He intends to take Bay
Scouts 20 sea this summer, and with that
aim in view he has bought . Gloucester
fishing smack OF about 80 tons gross. He
10 having this vessel converted into q
scout ship. Mr.. Carey 10 hopeful that
other men interested in the Boy Scout
work will take up sea scouting. He 10
ambitious to have . feet Of scout ships
along the Atlantic coast, another along the
Pacific coast.
Mr.. Carey looks upon SEQ scouting - Of
importance to American boys, and be-
isvss that II American boys can be
aroused to an interest In the sea, there
will b greater chance for the develop
ment OF our merchant marine. Aside
from that phase, however, he thinks that
his scout ship, called the "Pionesr", will
provide plenty OF fun and hopeful train
ing for the boys.
Speaking OF his ship, Mr.. Carey says:
'Her cabin amidships will contain nine
teen folding canvas berths, OF which eigh-
teen are to be occupied by boys and one
by their scout master, Stanley Cady.
There viii be three small patrols Of six
boys each, 90 that single patrol will man
one of the two boats which will be carried
slung ON the davits over the side.
When at anchor in suitable places, the
boys will have boat practice and boat
games, with swimming, diving, etc.
While at sea they will be divided into
watches and taught % much practical
sailing and navigation a possible. Dur
ing July and August there will be four
cruises Of nearly two weeks each, and the
cost will be about the same - that Of q
summer camp.
ut 10 hoped that pther boats will Be
used in the same way along the Atlantic
or Pacific coast lines; and the owners Of
the Pioneer will b glad to give or receive
suggestions which might tend to help the
work along.
