self as especially struck by its i'm
pressiveness and asserted that it
looked like a fine spot to erect a

Canadian Pacific steamers during
the tourist season will remain in this
port for three hours. said Captain
Troup He said that it was thought
that this stay would give passengers
aboard plenty of time to make the
Glacier Highway trip and others not
desiring to do so would find time to
visit local shops and the Alaska
Museum. 1t is planned to have the
ships arrive here at p m. each
trip and remain until 10 p m. Owing
to transportation connections which
it is imperative to make at Van

Experiment In Alaska
This general system has been used
in fat countries with trek-carts as a
result of a pamphlet published by
James A. Wilder of Honolulu. Mr..
Schurman and Mr.. Wilder are now
working on a handbook for Pine
Tree Patrols using only such gear
as can be carried in and on pack.
The experiments of the Juneau,
Douglas and Thane boys, and photo
graphs of their camp will be used
in this volume, as it is the belief
of the authors that what will work
in Alaska will be of unusual interest
to boys all over the world.
Meet Tonight
A second meeting for boys will be
held at the High School this even
ing, when patrol contest will be
started. Eagle Scout George Nc
Cauley will endeavor to show what
scouts themselves can do in the way
of instruction by teaching the knife
and AK tests( with sample tent-pegs,
pot hooks and cooking appliances
made of native wood. In addition
Mr.. Schurman will give instruction
in making souvenir paper knives, a
form of home handicraft that en-
abled his Brooklyn troop to earn
most of its equipment, and which 1t
is believed will enable Juneau boys
to make a busin ess-like profit from
tourist trade without encroachinG
on the national policy against com
mercializing the uniform or scout
prestige.
Select Camp Location
The plan for n scout hike Satur-
day has been abandoned to avoid
that date The camp committee will
make another trip to Mendenhall
Glacier, with District Forester
Charles Fiery, to select the exact
location of the permanent summer
camp. Tools will be taken in and
preliminary clearings made. Mean
while registration of scouts for the
summer camp may be made by Sec
ing NJ. s. Whittier at the Customs
Office, or any of the general com
mittee at tonight's meeting. The
camp will be run without a paid
cook, so that the cost to each boy
will be substantially the same as
for his groceries at home.
On Friday evening a second ses-
sion of the Mems Training Course
will be held at the High School
Gymnasium at 1880 O'clock

and hates him, and when he saw
Farmer Browns boy he knew right
away that 1t meant trouble for Mr..
Rlacksnake. and he was glad. Not
that he had a great deal of sympathy
for Mr.. and Mrs. Drummer. IL the
truth is to be told, l suspect that
Chatterer himself would have dined
on those helpless babies if he had
dared to, but he didn't dare because
he has a wholesome respect for the
sharp bills of Mr. and Mrs. Drum
mer. He was glad, not for the sake
of Mr.. and Mrs. Drummer. but be-
cause he felt sure that Mr.. Black
snake was in for a great deal OF
trouble.
Kill him. Kill him. shrieked
Chatterer, dancing about in great
excitement.
And this is just what Farmer
Browns boy made up his mind thai
he would do when at last he caught
sight of Mr.. Blacksnake just gettins
ready to take the first of Drummer
babies OF course, Mr. Blacksnakt
| heard Chatterer and looked arount
