BOYS
ARE ACTIVE At
CAMP ROOSEVELT


Seoutmaster Howard Rhodus who
with six Mexico boys is in camp at
Irondale, Mo-, writes Of the active
part the Mexicoans are taking in
camp life.
Irondale Reservation, Aug. II,
Gentlemen
Since u last report many things
Of interest to the Mexico boys here
at camp have taken place.
The boys were all members of q
party which took an overnight hike.
On these hikes each boy carries his
blankets in a shoulder roll, his KNAPP
sack, c~anteen, Scout axe, and one-
half a pup tent. The party leaves
camp about two o'clock one afternoon
and returns about eleven the next
morning. While the camp is in pro-
gress the boys have an opportunity
to practice cooking. tent building,
tracking making of beds from spruce
boughs, and a great deal of camp
craft in general.
A very important privilege offered
the boys on these hikes is that Of
joining a secret order which is re-
ferred to here Jas the S. 90. M. R.
Each boy who is properly initiated
and ! might say here that the Scouts
put the emphasis on properly, is en-
titled to wear an insignia on his belt,
Each boy completing a hike in a man.
ner satisfactorily to the officer in
charge is entitled to an insignia,
Our Mexico boys have secured both
decorations.
Yesterday at troop inspection John
Glass, Jr., was selected as n Of the
camp orderlies. Today Mexico is
again represented on the list of order
lies by Harry Richardson. Each will
receive a belt decoration showing
that he earned this honor while in
camp.
The Mexico boys were much pleas
ed last evening when Richard Kent
wa some of three boys called from the
ranks and presented with a Scout
badge of the next higher rank. This
was one Of three boys called from the
stood at attention.
Last night an Indian pow-wow was
held around the council fire, at which
each cabin staged some idea Of its
own. Incidentally, the boys were
practically naked, except for loin
cloths, and most effective Indian war
paint.
Many tests are taken each day,
each of which is along some line OF
Scout development. Our six boys
passed seven tests the first day, and
have several others ready to report.
The boys are well and ~contented,
the one regret being that over one
half Of the camp session is already
over.

 Miss Holmes has been a resident of Cordova for the past year and half and during her stay has made many friends who with The Times wish her happiness in her married life.

WOMEN SING PRAISES
 BEAUTY ALASKA TOUR

Returning passengers on the Ala meda from Anchorage were Mrs. H $. Beach and Mrs S. Oakley Barker, of New York, who passed through nor :" than two weeks ago for Fairbanks. Mrs. Beach and Mrs. Barker accom-
 panied Messrs. Beach and Cooley. the big game hunters who were en route to the Mt. Mckinley reserve, as far as the entrance to the park. At that point the women left the hunting party and continued over the Govern ment Railway to Anchorage, where they boarded the Alameda for return to the outside. On arrival at Seattle Mrs Beach and Mrs. Barker will pro- ceed to Vancouver whence they will return to New York over the Canadian Pacific. The two travellers were eX- uberant over the beauties of the trip through Alaska and loud in their praises of the accommodations at the various roadhouses en route. Favored with beautiful weather, they were able to get inspiring views of the glaciers, canyons and ranges. A gorgeous sun set on Mt Mckinley was one of the ver-to-be-forgotten incidents of the tour. Both women are extensive trav- elers, having been frequently over Eu- rope, and both expressed themselves as never having witnessed any scenery more impressive or beautiful than that afforded by the Alaska interior.

COLONEL RATTLE WAS A cORDOVA VISITOR YESTERDAY

Colonel w. J. Rattle, trustee of the Girdwood mine at Latouche, was an outgoing passenger on the Alameda yesterday, and was pleasant caller at the Times office during the stay of the Alameda in port. The colonel is on a trip to New York to visit a sister whom he has not seen since 1898, and who is sailing for Europe in the near future.
 The Girdwood mine was formerly known as the Ladysmith Smelling Company's property and adjoins the Beatson mine property. It averages from two to four per cent copper. There are two tunnels, one 14OO feet long on the 200 foot level, and one 1900 feet long on the 400 foot level During the past year the mine has not been operated on account of the scarcity of labor but the manage ment is now planning on resuming Work arounu tue lIiSI ol ehe Jeai' when a shaft will be sunk from the 400 to the 600-foot level.
