 The mixers were Phil Keeler, age fifteen; Forest Crosby, age sixteen and his brother Harold, age eighteen
 Leaving Seattle the boys went to Brinnon, from which point they made their way to the head waters of the Dosewallips river, a distance of 40 miles. They then hiked over Hayes trail for 15 miles and then up the EI- Wha river for the same distance.
 While on the Dosewallips trail the boys took time to climb Mount Con stance, making the ascent in five and one-haf hours.

SC0UTING.s S SECOND DECADE

Colin H. Livingstone, president Of the Boy Scouts of America. gives them this message at the start Of the sec end decade of scouting in the United States:
 "A fellowship of nearly 500.000 boys and leaders drawn by common bond at the same hour for the noble pur- pose of renewing their second oath is the most significant patriotic act of the times.
 "A tenth birthday is always mile stone. We are proud of the great things already accomplished. but we must not rest content with the things we have done. The future is our op- portunity.
 "Frst of all, fellow scouts, let us celebrate our tenth birthday by more intensive scouting. Tenderfoot on to second class! Second-elass scout, on to first clas; frst-class, on to the merit badges, and then through Life, Star, Eagle! By such progress you will serve yourself, your fellows, your country!
 Get in more and more outdoor work. Outdoor scouting is real scout ing. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness under open skies is every scouts birthright.
 At this significant moment in our history we should each and all deter mine to make the good turn habit more and more part of our lives, for with out the good turn spirit in our hearts and the good turn practice in every day living, all the rest of scouting is of little avail
