Scouts to Have
Wonderful Camp
During Summer

-Four weeks of unequaled happiness
vitalizing every activity of a normal
American boy, in one of the fines
beauty spots in the Cascade range
under the direction of trained leader
ship of men who are specialists in
the art of camping, ana with the best
equipment that can be obtained fol
outdoor living, is what the Salem
council, boy scouts of America, will
offer to Salem's boys during the COM
ing summer months.
According to Scout Executive Har-
old Cook today, present indications
are that at least $50 of Salem's boys
will be enrolled in the camp and
with the growth of the movement ey-
ar increasing up to the time of the
camping season, plans may have to
be enlarged to accommodate even a
larger number.
The camp will be located on the
DdthS VI DttiL NICth III Al
Lane county, about 40 miles from Eu-
gene, in one Of the prettiest spots in
the Cascade range. The camp will be
one half mile from the McCredie Hot
Springs, and affords the finest swim
ming facilities Of any camping resort
in the entire western mountains, in
fact very few western cities can COM
pare In UP to date equipment of this
kind.
The activities Of camp are innum-
erable. including hiking, fishing
mountain climbing, snow battles,
camp games eating and many others.
One of the new features of the camp
will be talks by experts about the
forests, wild life, nature study and
kindred subjects. These will be sup
plemented by moving pictures which
are being arranged for and which
will prove highly entertaining. Pow
er wires for the camera man having
been strung swelve miles in order to
provide the camp with this feature.
In discussing the various phases OF
camp life, Scout Executive Cook said

of the boy scout summer camp. That
is why the big hearted. generous heart

There will be corps OF paid lead

two professional cooks, besides an
army of volunteer workers. and eR-

WARNING, MATES;
A BLOW COMING
What CalericO Isn't Going to
DO to Us, Isn't Worth Men
tiOning; Big Fracas Comes
Off Sunday Afternoon.

Catain Stevens and his CaleXico
ball team are going to Ell Centro on
Sunday, determined to do or die, says
the CaleXico Chronicle Sundays
game promises to be the deciding con-
test. and unless the local lads can
take the measure of their opponents,
the flag will go to the Nipponese
team at Brawley, with whom they are
tied
The Brawley team is conceded a
victory over Holtville next Sunday,
SO it is up to the Calexico team to
make it win from Ell Centre in or
der to get chance for a play-off OF
the tie with the Brawley nine.
Calexico fans are confident that
their team can defeat Ell Centre, but
they admit that it may be hotly
contested affair. None is willing to
admit that Calexico can be beaten by
Ell Centre.
Jimmy Dean will take the mound
for Calexico and Curry will be
warmed up for Manager Stevens for
an emergency. Edgar will be on the
receiving end. Captain Stevens holds
hig hopes for the outcome of the
| fracas Sunday, and is expecting a
great deal from John Carol at sec
ond, who, Stevens, says, is playing
good ball.
In the event of both Brawley ano
Calexico either winning or losing
they will be tied for the flag, and 8
post series will be necessary
but should Calexico lose, which seem;
improbable, the big show will b'
over.

HOME FOLKS ARE
ENTHUSIASTIC
FOR JOHNSON
Change in Sentiment Explain
ed; East RaLIying to Fearless
Senator's Support in Fine
StyLe.

LOS ANGELES, April 23.-For-
mer U. S. Senator Frank P. Flint de-
clared in statement today that the
change in the sentiment
of the people of California toward the
of Senator, Johnson for
president has been brught about prin-
cipally by the sudden realization of
Johnson's great popularity and stand
ing with people in the East.
ut has been nothing less than a
wonderful revelation even to those of
us in California who have known Sen
ator johnson so we'll and have fol-
lowed his official and political activi-
ties so Closely he says.
"The movement really began right
after the result of the primary cleo
tion in Michigan became known here.
1t was sudden and certain. Thousands
o fCalifornians, with their pride in
California renewed and stimulated
by the news from Michigan, and their
interest in California's favorite son
aroused to high pitch, signified their
intention of supporting Johnosn at
the presidential primary election on
May 4th who had not previously stat
ed their position, and who had, per-
haps, not taken any great interest in
the outcome of that election previous
ly. Among them were many Demo
Gratis, and a large number of social
ed old-line Republicans.
"T'hen came the added testimony
of forty-five thousand men and wom
en- who wrote in Senator Johnson's
name in Illinois, and now comes the
returns from Nebraska.
'In view of the great movement,
look for California to give Hiram
Johnson a created majority on Ma!
4th than he has ever before received
in California"

CATTLEMEN SHIP
DIRECT TO HARBOR

Owing to the fact that it is i'm
possible to make shipments oevr the
Southern Pacific, we are trying to
make arrangements to secure cars,
and ship over the San Diego & Ari-
zona line. Shipping over this route
would necessitate driving and loading
our cattle at Seeley. 1t is our opin-
ion, if we can secure enough cars,
that every cattleman would be money
ahead to ship over the above outlined
route as it is very indefinite how
soon the Southern Pacific can take
care of us. We are keeping in close

it is now physically impossible to get
enough cars to move the Imperial

not exceeding $500 cars for the total

an outright loss of 5000 car loads.
