(ey Wireless to The RepubIican)

(By Wireless to The Republican,
 CAMP APACHE, PAYSON, Aug. 18.-(9 D. m.)-Camp Apache will pass into history tomorrow. for early in the morning the 150 Boy Scouts will break camp and entrain in their trucks for home. By this time to- morrow night the Scout caravan should be at Roosevelt, and the boys expect to reach Phoenix the next evening, though the trip may be pro- longed another day.
 Tonight the boys are struggling between regret at the end of the outing and eagerness to ge home Every one is anxious to see his folks" again, yet each is reluctant to leave the mountains where he has spent a glorious week outdoors.
 The boys are unanimous in declar- ing the camping trip the greatest out ing they ever had, and all agree the eight days they have spent here seem like two, so swiftly has the time passed. Despite the desire for home there is not boy who would not like to stay another eight days-or longer.
 Incidentally, if a summer encamp ment of Boy Scouts is not held each year hereafter the 150 boys here will be the most disappointed youngsters in the world. It will not be their fault if arrangements are not made for annual outings.
 The last few days of camp have gone as smoothly as the first, and not a hitch has occurred. Hikes to scenes of interest in the surrounding country, the ordinary duties and rec reations of camp, and routine and special Scout work have kept the boys busy and happy. All are in perfect health, according to the camps medical officer, who declares they couldn't be better if they were paid for it.
 All in all, this camping trip prob ably has been the greatest thing of it's kind in the states history In- deed, few states could equal it for Natural Bridges and cliff dwellings and other natiOnally-kn scenic spots are not to be found in many states.
 Tonight the boys turned in early for their last night at Camp Apache, and another twelve hours should see the truck caravan on it's way. The return will be made by the same route as the trip up, and it is intend- ed to reach Roosevelt the first day. Friday night will be spent in the open anu N3AC JO0Lhcy TcSukIleQ early Rdt- urday morning. Mesa will be reached that afternoon. barring delays, and Phoenix soon after. The boys lead- CTS will not rush the caravan in case of unexpected delays, however, so the families of the Scouts need not worry if they should not arrive before Sunday.
 This is the last radio message from camp. as the set will be taken down first thing in the morning. so the boys and men of the party send fare- wells Good bye and good luck-''
 The Republican last night received it's second and last special radio dis patch from the Boy Scout camp. Both the Camp Apache operator and Herschel Rawls, who took the mes aage at his station at 1258 West Pierce street, expressed regret that they had not been able to get more press matter through during the trip, but atmospheric conditions made it impossible. Otherwise daily com munication would have been main tained with the camp by wireless, but as it was the operators did excellent work in the face of adverse circum- stances.
