BOY SCOUTS FIGHT
Big FOREST FIRE
Boys Throw Deadline Around Foot
of Hill and Extinguish Blaze.
Hunt for Treasure.

The Boy Scouts who hiked to Chain
Bridge on a pleasure trip yesterday were
put TO a real test when they discovered
big forest FIRE on the Virginia shore Of
the Potomac. After a long struggle with
the flames, the boys succeeded In subdu-
ing the blaze.
The boys had tramped along the tow
path TO Chain Bridge and had crossed
the river and started to pitch camp when
flames were suddenly noticed TO leap
from over nearby hill In a second
the entire hillside. which was covered
with trees and underbrush, was q mass
Of roaring flames. The dry leaves Of
many autumns which carpeted the
ground took fire, striking terror to many
OF the smaller scouts.
In a few moments the boys had de-
cided upon a plan Of action. The en-
tire army of 1s3 scouts started to clear
a wide path around the bottom of the
hill. Some of the youngsters used
sticks some used axes, while others
used their bare hands. After an hours
hard work. Nhe boys had cleared a path
through the dead leaves and UNDER
brush. The FIRE swept onward. But
when 1t reached the deadline II went
no farther. II was impossible for the
flames to leap the path. Within an
hour the last spark of the fire was
dead.
1t was a hard fight fo- the boys. Some
had their hair scorched. others had their
eyebrows singed, and one little fellow
had his hat destroyed. But the scouts
had shown their worth and were proud
Of II.
Reviewed by Gen. Miles.
The scouts assembled on the White
House ElIipse at 10 O'Clock, They were
reviewed by Gen. Miles, U. S. A., and
Edgar s. Martin, District scout commis-
sioner. Motion pictures were taken OF
the boys as they started on their long
hike dressed in khaki uniforms, with
knapsacks thrown over their backs. The
boys walked to Georgetown and thence
along the towpath OF the canal to Chain
Bridge. They went into camp on the
Virginia side OF the Potomac
The trail to the camping spot was laid
by Carl Porter, one OF the Y. n. C. A.
scouts The boys cooked their own din
ners. As they sat in council around the
fires they were addressed by J. A Emory.
assistant scout commissioner; l. Gordon
Leech, in charge of the Y. NJ. c. A.
troops, and Mr.. Pirtle, in charge of the
Ninth Street Christian Church troops.
Julian r. Hovey, leader OF one Of the
Y. NJ. c. A. troops, also spoke.
1t was then announced that treasure
was hidden In the neighboring woods.
The boys were given meager information
concerning the treasure, and were then
sent to search for It. John Stockard,
one of the Y. NJ c. A. Scouts, finally
located It after a long search. As a
reward for his ability. young Stockard
was presented with a scout kit consist
ing OF a frying pan, stew pan, canteen,
knife, fork. and spoon.
The boys returned to the city at $50
o'clock They were tired and dirty, but
all agreed that II was the best day they
had ever spent.

THE DEBT HAS NOT BEEN PAID

Much is being said in the papers
about Senator Massey and the railway
men and a recent issue of the indie
pendent says that "their debt of
gratitude has been paid.o Is it pos
sible that this debt can ever be paid9
If Senator Massey had not succeeded
in securing a verdict of aequittal for
Chas. Happier, o. c. Marsh, Jim Cum
Minis and Thomas Cleary when they
were up for trial in '94 these men
would now not have the right of
citizenship and could not exercise their
right to vote, and in all probability
some of them would still be serving
terms in the state penitentiary. And
if these men had been convicted the
remainder of the strikers at Carlin
would have been arrested and con-
victed, and it was only through the
efforts of Senator Massey that prison
sentence was not given these strikers.
Can the fact that they were saved
from a term in the penitentiary, a fate
dreaded and abhorred by every man, be
forgotten by these men and their com-
panions? And can such a debt be
ever paid9 We think not, nor do the
railroad boys, who show their graft
tude by their loyalty to him. At Car
lin last night when a Democratic
speaker urged the election of Key
Pittman, every man in the hall yelled
"Senator Massey" Carlin is a rail
road town and the voters from that
section are railroad men. Senator
Massey has their gratitude, and even
after their votes have helped elect him
on Nov. 9Th, the debt will not have
been paid.-Elko Free Press.
