Boy Scouts to
Spend Vacation
at Point Iona

After thoroughly discussing the
proposition of summer camp for
the Boy Scouts of the valley, the
executive committee meeting last
night at Calipatira in monthly ses-
sion, voted to accept the invitation
of the San Diego executive council
for this year.
The executive board of the I'M
perial county Y. NJ. c. A. very cor
daily invited the Boy Scouts to
camp at the Laguna Camp from
June to II and during the months
of July and September if they wish
ed naming terms that were entirely
reasonable.
Briefly, the cost per boy at the
camp would be the same as that
charged the Y. NJ. c. A. members,
Sl2 for the period.
Both propositions were gone into
thoroughly and the final vote ia
vored, for this summer, the Point
Iona proposition, where the gov
ernment barracks with its splendid
equipment may be hsed. There the
attractions will be outdoor and in
door bathing, fishing, boating, ex-
cursions on the bay, and to Coro-
nado Islands, equipment for over
night camps at interesting places
on the large government reserva-
tion, etc, all at a very nominal
| cost.
The Laguna camp is likewise
splendidly equipped, and the boys
like it immensely, bat all things
considered it seemed best to the
camping committee and the execu
tive board to accept the San Diego
invitation.
The Y. NJ. c. A. boys will camI
as usual at Laguna, probably ar
ranging to go Immediately aftel
school closes, as has been the Gus
| tom.

night was well attended and entire

tion throughout the county. Th'
next monthly meeting will be helt

Depe,O, Nearing Goth Year, Writes
"9 Biggest Events OF My Life"

/ NEW YORK, April l2,-thaupce.
| NJ. Depew will enter upon his 90tt
wear April %.
! The grand old man of American
I politics has seen four wars-dnc
their aftermatbs. He has been :
friend of Gladstone, the statesman
and of Joe jefferson, the actor.
He has made speeches in the hall.
of congress aud before the motley
/ crowds of the Bowcry.
Since he became connected with
/ the New York Central Railroad
it has growa from a length Of l2S
miles to a length of 5000 miles, and
he has seen the railroads of the
United States grow from 5000 miles
to 100000 miles since ha entered
the railway service.
He has survived cults and fads
and still retains thesimpIe faith
his mother taught him.
What are the biggest events that
Chauncey DePew has seen in the
nine decades in which he has lived ?
He tells OF them here, in his own
story, written at the request of
Nea Service.
BY CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW
That first big event that / re
member was the Mexican War.
was Il years old then and il stirg-
Cd me with tremendous notions
of chivalrv. However I could not
include the Mexican War as being
one Of the nine big events which l
have witnessed. Neither could |
include the development of the rail
roads as that development has cover
ed too long period of time to be
designated as an .'event. :
Here, then, are the nine big ev-
ents which have seen in my life
time. / consider them big because
of their far-reaching effects on the
human race.
ONE: The election of Abraham
Lincoln to the presidency. This was
important not only because of
Lincoln 5 association with the Civil
War but also because of the in
fluence which the character of
Lincoln has had on the whole world.
TWO: The proclamation freeing
the slaves. This was the first great
blow at property which had here
tofore been held in profound re-
spect. 1t was the forerunner Of the
present day agitation over the rights
of property. But it took slavery
out of the institutions and made
the Declaration Of Independence the
vital idea of the United States.
THREE: The World War. This
was important because by its very
horror il has paved the way for
peace. The governments which in
the World War have been
overthrown. Future rulers will not
be so anxious to rush into war when
they reflect that they are likely to
lose their jobs in consequence.
FOUR: The publication of Oar
win S theory of evolution 1t liber-
allied thought; it helped TO break
down the narrow dogmas Of 4 per-
sonal devil and 4 birthstone hell:
it showed that all things are in 4
continual process Of evolution.
