BOY SCOUTS TO GO TO PARK
State Officials Have Announced That
$50 Boy scouts Will Visit Vel
lOwstOne Park This Summer.
(By +. l.. Babcock.)

CHEZ ENNE "yO., March =
(Special)-During an interview with
Governor Carey today he suggested
thai the people OF Wyoming lay in
a supply OF coal.
while I do not know what the
prospects are for a general strike in
the mines April |, and while | have
no information on the subject ex-
cept what | have seen in the news
papers. believe ii might save the
people a lot of Embarrassment If they
prepared at this time for whatever
might take place. said the chief
executive.
Furthermore at this time some OF
the mines are closed down and a
number of miners are out OF employ
ment, consequently an increased coal
production at this time would be
beneficial to all.
Il hope there will be no strike.
Just as everybody else does, but I do
not think we should let our hopes
interfere with out Judgment
$50 Boys to Make Trip
Perhaps no recent announcement
has created more of a stir over the
state than the one thai Wyoming is
to give $50 OF its Boy Scouts a trip
through Yellowstone National Park

wealth could o buy. The jaunt. as
now planned. will start early in Aug
ust and last for IS days. And here
are a few of the more important re-
quirements decided upon at an all
day conference between Governor
| Carey and Scout Executives from all
parts OF the state:
Successful candidates must have
attained the first class and belong to
troops in good standing;
They must have registered before
April 1;
They must have made their grades
in school;
They must pass a physical examina-
ton, and
They must be able to show that
they have earned through their
efforts at least $25 between now and
the time Of s~election-$2O to cover
incidental expenses. and IS for pock-
ct money.
1t is estimated that about $50 boys
will enjoy the benefits Of this wonder
outing, and that the personnel adult
captains-each group is to have an
adult head-physician, chauffeur.
cook, ETC.. will bring the total close
10 1870. Where small towns have
only one troop. the quota will be two.
but the representation is not to be
limited to cities with Scout Coun-
ellis.

Natural Gas for Everybody.
< Tremendous industrial develop
. ment in all parts OF the state is seer
as a possibility growing out of thu
= activity Of various oil and gas enter
1 prises in building and proposing tt
build pipe lines with which to supply
: natural gas to scores Of towns and
! cities.
1t ia asserted that the gas will be
furnished at an average rate of SO
: cents per 1000 cubic feet. The pres
!, ent charge for the artificial product
!, in Cheyenne is s1.S5 per cubic foot,
With the price reduced by more thar
two-thirds, it is easily seen what the
effect may be throughout Wyoming
in the matter Of the location OF new
factories and the development OF
those already in existence.
The State Public Service Commits
sion Is granting certificates of %
venience and necessity to all concerns
which make proper showings OF good
faith and produce proof that they are
ready and able to go ahead with such
projects. Two such certificates have
been made out within the past few
days to companies in Thermopolis
and Rawlins. and more are anticipat-
ed. Cody. Powell. Riverton. Casper.
Lowell, Basin. Cowley. Douglas,
Wheatland, Torrington. Lusk and
Cheyenne are among the other towns
where natural gas either now Is or
shortly may be furnishing light, heat
and power to homes. offices, stores
and factories.
One report, the latest OF many
cropping out. has it hat the Lance
Creek field will be tapped and that
a line will be laid from there to
Cheyenne, with Lusk, Sunrise, Hart
Vile. Guernsey. Torrington, Wheat
! land and Chugwater served enroute.
