BOY SCOUT ACTIVITIES
In and Near Washington
By Dob ~

Washington Boy Scouts had the
time of their lives yesterday. The
Boy Scout camp Theodore Roosevelt
was officially opened for the 1920
season, and a bunch of boys, al. in
their khaki garb, arrived there early
in the morning. Immediately starting
the days activities.
Games were played. lessons in
scoutcraft and woodcraft were given,
and when the "official bugler' of the
camp sounded the mess call, a flock
of half-starved boys responded.
Around noontime, anyone passing the
mess tent would have thought those
fellows hadn't had anything to cat
for a week, but in reality they were
hst putting away light lunch,
after the morning cNepcises. Dish
after dish of food disappeared as IL
by magic, which went long way to
show that the boys were perfectly
satisfied with the new cook, who had
been loaned by the United states Ma
rine Barracks.
The afternoon was takch up by
hikes, swims, games. etc, and when
supper was ready and the cook step
ped out of "the most thought-of place
i'm camp" and in his big bass voice
shouted to the bugler to tell the
boys to come and get it," the mess
house was packed in ten minutes.
Campfire stories were the feature OF
the evening, and when taps was
sounded on the still night air a num-
Der of tired boys sought their hunks,
and az they lay there gazing out at
the starry sky. the ripple OF the
Chesapeake making music in their
cars. their eyes slowly closed and
they dreamed Of the good times that
are to come during their stay at the
camp.

a new sending and receiving wireless

Portland and the Natron Cutoff

Speaking before the Progressive Business Mems Club al
Portland Thursday Senator Chamberlain urged that move

Southern and Central Oregon not only buying goods in
California but reading California newspapers and have the
California spirit. 4i~etese
Portland will rally enthusiastically to any proposition to
force else spend money building railroads to de-
velop Oregonas long does not entail Porands putting
up anything substantial than jawbone But if the
Natron cutoff is needed to enlarge PortandS commercial
territory why do not the bankers and capitalists of the
metropolis finance it's construction? Why ask the Southern
Pacific which needs all the money raise for additional
rolling stock and equipment to build railroad through
barren unsettled and undeveoped region order to enlarge
the market for Portland obbes and subscribers for
Portland newspapers?
year ago trainload of Portlands leading business
made of their gad-hand hotair, dollar seeking
cursons the Klamath country and profusey promised
financial aid in the construction of the Srahorn railroad
begun by the city of Klamath Falls to connect with Oregon

Forthcoming.
California however has not turned deaf the ap
peas of Southern Oregon California capital is developing
the country constructing power plants building irrigation
systems and manufacturing lumber. 1t California
enterprise and energy that built the railroad to Klamath
Falls Oregons part in the development consist in hamper
ing the efforts of Cafornians and trying block their
enterprisein the hope that Uncle Sam will put up the
money for development.
The Portland theory of developing Oregon is for the
to build the irrigation systems and the Southern
Pacific to build the railroads. and the railroad commission
to order preferential rates. Portland profit by in
creased tributary territory without rskng Portland money
which reserved for its skyscrapers and town lots
Small wonder that Southern Central Oregon buy

have the California spirit to the extent of introducing reso
tons in the legislature for secession Such sentiments
due to accdent-but the result of the selfish short
sighted policy of the Oregon metropolis policy of ex-
poitaton camouflaged as development.

For senator to miss nearly twelve hundred roll calls and

done anywhere normal amount of outside work. He
