reason she is always graceful is
because she has been carefully

The rally OF the Casper Boy Scouts
held in tho high school auditorium

program.
The Rev. C. NJ. Thompson. Jr.. de-
livered the invocation, after which
Tracy n. Shaw and Mrs. Ray h
were introduced respectively as the
official song leader and pianist OF the
Boy Scout organization here.
w. o. Wilson spoke n outlined
the policies which he hoped the scouts
would follow during the coming year.
Mr.. Wilson, who is the new president
of the council. offered three prizes to
boys attaining proficiency in differ,
ent departments of scouting. One Of
these will go to the boy who will &C
cumulate the greatest amount of
knowledge concerning wyoming
birds. Another will be given to the
boy obtaining the most information
about woodcraft. Still another will
be awarded the scout who accumu'
lates the most history Of Casper. Ma

CANAL DISPUTE
WIPED out BY
NEW PROTOCOL
Costa RIGA and United
States Sign Pact to
Clear Situation.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1o.-A proto.
col has been signed by the United
States and Costa Rica eliminating
difficulties dating back many years
and affecting the possible future de-
oceanic canal route.
The protocol provides that in the
event Of a decision by the United
States to build 4 canal along the
Nicaraguan route. Costa Rica will be
consulted directly by the United
States with relation TO interests Costa
Rica holds under the terms of the
Nicaraguan-Costa Rica boundary arb
itration award made by President
Cleveland. The protocol specifically
mentions Costa Rican interests in the
San Juan river section Of the canal
route and in Salinas bay as a possible
canal terminal.
The text of the protocol signed as
an incident to the Central American
conference which closed yesterday,
will not he made public until it has
been transmitted to the senate as a
matter of information. It conforms
very closely to the similar protocol
signed with Costa Rica by John Hay.
while secretary of state. and does not
require senate confirmation.
Presumably the result of the dis
cussions with Costa Rica, in the event
of a definite project to Build a new
canal being taken up would be the
granting by the United States Of pay.
ments to the Costa Rican government
In return for ANAL route concessions
similar to the $4,000, 900 payment TO
Nicaragua provided for in the treaty,
negotiated by former Secretary Bryan
granting canal concessions by that
government to the United States.
The negotiations between Score.
tary Hughes and Costa Rlcan repre-.
sentatives were entirely distinct from
the Central American conference. It
is felt here, however, that the signing
Of the protocol has dono much to i'm.
prove Central American relationships
generally.
Secretary Hughes action In reviv.
ing tho Hay protocol in slightly more
specific form is regarded in official
circles as having smoothed out diff.
oultes that might have stood In the
way of development Of the Nicarag
uan canal rights In the event traffic
through the Panama canal continues
to increase to q point where a new
waterway from the Atlantic TO the Pa
cifio should become necessary.
