Scout Camp, Tijeras Canyon,
June 27.-Saturday afternoon the
Snipes. named in honor Of the UNI
pire. staged a game with the Rat
tlesnakes but the bats didn't rattle
like the name as they came out on
the short end of the 1S-to-3 score,
rain ending the game after the
fifth inning. AT that time it looked
like the Rattlesnakes were coming
back.
A return game * on schedule for

Heavy was chief rooter for the
Snipes. Various remarks were
made about the umpiring but we
are of the opinion that no other
snipe hunter could have done as
well.
BOYS Take Hike.
Friday at 8 a. m. about thirty
boys started out for the Ellis ranch,
Mr.. Borden taking the lead and
Mr.. Noye keeping up the stray
glers. The bunch kept climbing
and climbing till ~ noon when we
stopped and had lunch. Cold bis
cults baked by Chief Baker Nelson
cold beef. crackers and oranges
freshened up the bunch. After
that we climbed till 2 o'clock, when
on popular vote we turned back
so as to get out of the woods be-
fore dark.
On the way back we stopped
awhile at La MADEIRA and tried oui
Spanish. Were successful finally
in getting four cans of pineapple
with the help of our Interpreter
Louis Evans. The eats disappeared
in short order. The mascot was ir
great shape going out but on the
way back he had to work overtime
as one of the fellows caught on to
his tail and used him for an extra
cylinder going up hills.
+ To Make Objective Monday.
Start will be made again on Mon
day when we hope to make our OBJ
jective. Mr.. Gallagher. one of the
camp staff, leaves today for the
city on his way to California. We
are all sorry to see him go, but
such Is life In camp. Mr.. MaugeI
and Mr.. Amending were welcome
visitors in camp, bringing the firsl
mail and home packages to reach
camp. Tonight Is stunt night. The
boys in each tent are putting on ar
act at the camp fire. Mr.. Nissan
of the forest service Is also coming
over to give the fellows a talk or
general wood lore. Only the fel'
lows in camp know what the boys
in town are missing.
