To the Scout Editor:
Five members of Troop SO stayed at
their camp just outside the District line
Saturday night. The first thing done
because one of our scouts had picked
up a wireless message from Arlington
station which indicated that q cold wave
was due that night.
The beds were placed among The pine
trees which entirely surrounded the
camp. Scoutmaster Bailey then told us
some of his Western experiences, and We
sat about the camp fire for a while be-
fore going to bed. We slept warmly, in
spite of the promised cold wave.
The next morning was bright and
crisp. however, and our breakfast of
oatmeal. pancakes. and sausage tasted
fine Shortly after s o'clock we had
cleaned up everything. put out our fire.
and were on our way homo. Very

PLAN FOR PICNIC
Another Meeting of Pioneer
Association to be Held
Monday

A meeting fthe Pioneer Asso-
ciatian was held a week ago to
take up the matter of apicnic for
this year but owing to the small
attendance at the meeting it was
decided that people were not gen
orally interested this year and it
was decided not to have the pic
mic. Announcement of the action.
of the association was given pub
licity in the local press and since
then there has been a demand
from a large number of members
of the association to reconsider
the action of week ago. Ac-
cordingly President D. w. Corn
ing of the association has decided
to call meeting for next Mon
day evening at the Commercial
Club at which time the matter
will again be taken up.
There seems to be a big senti-
ment for another picnic and all
members of the association are
requested to be present at the
meeting to be held next Monday
evening to decide whether or not
the picnic will be held this year.
The annual picnic of the
Pioneer Association has grown to
be a big event and people of the
city look forward to the event
each year. The annual picnic
has been the means of building
up a closer relation between the
people of the city and should be
continued.
Members of the Pioneer Asso-
citation should not fail to be on
hand at the meeting Monday
evening at which final action will
be taken.

Coal Business Slack

The coal business on the docks
of the Northwestern Fuel COM
pany in this city has been rather
slack during the past few weeks
and the present indications are
that the business will not be-
come very brisk until nearly the
middle part of next month. The
slackness of business at this
time has been occasioned by the
miners strike which as yet has
not been settled.
Manager Gibson of the com
pany expects that business viii
become rushing after the middle
part of next month and that
business will be unusually brisk
until the close of navigation in
the fall.
