GIVE MORE DETAILS
 OF PLAN FUR THE BOY
 SCOUTS BIG OUTING

In answer to scores of inquiries from all parts of the state with reference to the Boy Scouts outing planned by the state game department, Joe N- Pro- chaska, state game warden, last night gave out additional details of the plan as they have been formulated since the original announcement of the trip week ago.
 In the first place, the Grand Canyon may be included in the itinerary, for the purpose of picking up the five Boy Scouts sent out from New York to make a tour of the national parks. These lads are being sent out by the Far Western Travellers association, and are under the guidance of r. F. Mathes of the U. $. geological survey. It was MT. Mathes who acted as per sonal escort and guide to the king and queen of Belgium on their tour of the west.
 Mathes has expressed a special de sire to have the five eastern scouts meet MT. Prochaska on their arrival at the canyon, and if the date of ar rival makes it at all possible he will do so taking with him the entire party of Arizona scouts. After exploring the canyon, the augmented party would then proceed to the northern Indian villages, there to witness the famous snake dance and the other dance cere- DQOnIdlS or the Nay dJOS ana liie I1opiS.
 Prochaska has already arranged that the party which leaves Phoenix August shall witness the famous devil dance of the Apaches. This will be staged at Rice on the second day of the trip.
 Boy Scouts of Tucson are especially anxious to join the caravan which will make a 30- day tour of the scenic joints of interest in eastern and northern Arizona In all probability a party will be made up at that joint and join the main contingent at Winl1lemap. Sen ator Al Buehman has the matter in 1 hand.
 1 In order that the boys of the party may have practical lessons in wood craft, the game warden has enga ged the services of Ed Carter. better known as Diamond Jack" and F. J. Lump @ kin. otherwise known as Coyote Red, 9 l These are two of the most famous wild animal trappers and hunters in the state says Prochaska, and they will 1 take special pains in teaching the boys how to set blind traps and dead falls, and how to skin animals and how to 1 prepare them for the taxidermist. They will also be taught the art Of fly cast ing and other modes of trout fishing. i Incidentally. says the game warden the boys are going to learn a whole lot of other things about life in the open that they never knew of before. They will learn to cook their own meals in 8 Dutch oven. and they will learn how l to prepare their own flap jacks in true scout style. They will learn the use Of hand ax and hunting knife and they i will learn how to prepare their own shelters for the night.
 It has been definitely decided that l all boys who intend to make the trir must register at the game warden's of flee in the capitol building on or before July 10. A registration fee of s will be required and this will be applied to the expenses of the trip. The cost oi ] the trip. it is estimated. will run be- tween $40 and $50 each for the months outing. depending on the number who make up the party. This will include the cost of food en route. it having
 been decided that all supplies be pur- chased by the commisary department
 rather than having each member carry a supply of provisions with him, as al first suggested. Each boy will he re- T quired to furnish his own bedding. g
 hatchet. or small hand axe, and {
 kodak if he has one.
 Kodak shooting will be the only kind
 permitted during the trip except under
 the personal supervision of the pro- fessional trappers, and this will bt
 confined solely to rifle target prac-
 tice.
 As previously announced the party
 will leave Phoenix August 1, by motol
 truck and the entire month of Angus
 will be devoted to the outing. I'm
 party will be limited to active Boz } Scouts between the ages Of 12 and 15
 Out of town registrations may be sen
 by mail, but preferably through scou
 masters. Tn any event the appican
