MOUNTAIN LODGE dude
RANCH IN PICTURESQUE SETTING
Fishing and Hunting Excellent, While Unsurpassed
View Of Cannot Peak, as Yet Unexplored, Is To
Be Had-Brooks Lake Eight Miles North

Nesting snugly in the heart of the
mountains. 81 miles northwest of Du-
bois and only a few hundred yards
from the Rocky Mountain highway,
lies Rocky Mountain Lodge, a dude"
ranch and hunting lodge, located in
the midst of the most picturesque
scenic beauties OF the Great West.
The highway which runs by the
lodge leads to the southern entrance
of Yellowstone Park, and during the
summer the traffic is heavy at all
times.
Al an elevation of 5000 feet, with
the air as clear and pure as nature
itself. Rocky Mountain Lodge has
rapidly attained a popularity and
name for comfort and SURROUNDINGS
that might well be envied by other
establishments of a similar kind. Hay
fever, that bugbear of many people.
disappears over night at this wonder
tul mountain retreat, and many peo-
pie go there annually TO effect n cure
for this troublesome ailment.
From June 18th. when the lodge
opens, to November 18th. when the
big game season ends. the lodge has
a congenial crowd OF patrons who
gather TO enjoy the quiet, restful life
of the mountains. to revel in Ii
beauties of Nature, to fish for the
willy trout IN the nearby sparkling
mountain streams. or to tramp thru
he wooded slopes of the mountains
IN search of big game.
The fishing is excellent. Ed
vaught, international president of
he Lions Club, writing to Robert f..
Fuller. who. with G. e. Jones. is the
proprietor of the Lodge. said: II have
been all thru Colorado, California,
Utah and Yellowstone Park. but the
scenery around Rocky Mountain

mackinaw. These fish were caught
at jackson Lake, which is Just above

the lodge. There are innumerable
one-pound trout In the river which
virtually washes the threshold OF the
cabins.
Gannett Peak, which is not far
from the Lodge. is as yet unexplored
by scientists. The Alpine Club of New
York has been asked to make an *.
petition to its snowy summit this
summer. and it is quite possible that
they will dc so.
Gannett peak glacier, which covers
an area OF % square miles, is a cub.
ject of interest to visitors at Rocky
Mountain Lodge. as its frozen slopes
are practically UNEMPLOYED and the
scintillating beauty OF the glacier in
the sun beggars description.
Brooks Lake. a rendezvous for
those who enjoy Nature in her prim-
tive loneliness. lies eight miles north
OF the Lodge and the Sheridan trail,
which has many historic traditions
attached to 1t passes close by. The
beauties of upper Wind River are so
well known that they need neither
description nor explanation.
In fact. so OPPORTUNITY is Rocky
Mountain Lodge situated that climb
ing n exploring expeditions can be
made IN any direction for many davs
without passing over the same route.
The twenty buildings at the camp,
which include n large recreation
hall and a cold storage plant, are all
well built and comfortably furnished.
The cabins consist of two rooms aad
there are accommodations for forty
people in tho guests quarters.
One advantage seldom possessed
by mountain resorts is the cold stur.
g plant. where hunters may store
their big game until the weather Is
cold enough to permit shipp ng 1t out
Of the country. Thus game shot in
the early part of the hunting season
is carefully preserved until the hunter
wishes it shipped to his home. This
is done without expense or inconven-
fence to the hunter.

SITKA'S TIMBER RESOURCES
 TO BE INVESTIGATED
(Sitka Tribune)


 A. Marsden, representing eastern capitalists, was an arrival on the Rogers last Tuesday morning accom- panied by MT. L. L. Simpson.
 MT. Marsden will make a thorough investigation of the timber resources of this section and if it justifies him and his associates investing capital in Sitka for sawmill project, a mill will be constructed in the near fu- ture.
 Considerable data was gathered this past summer by MT. Marsden, hence his present trip.
 So far MT. Marsden has found everything very satisfactory and the Tribune hopes to give more detail ed report after the timber resources have been checked up. Mir. Marsden left yesterday morning on the Alec for Fish Bay returning here tomor- row, and will then make a trip up Silver Bay, where it is reported vast forests of timber are available for cutting.

SCOUTS WINTER CAMPING

Winter camping Is glorious thing ! Boy scouts, always on congenial terms with the weather man, are hiking, In increasing numbers. to winter week end camp sites to enjoy the adventure and thrill of life in the open. Skating, snowshoeing, skiing, tobogganing, fish ing through a hole in the lce-these are part of the fun that the sturdy scout gets from the experience. Scout fathers are joining in. More than one weekend camp has welcomed scout dads" who through scouting activi- ties are enjoying splendid comradeship with their sons.
 Three big things in any winter scout camp are: freedom, food, and fun: freedom, under good leadership. for a boy to discover his own talents; food and plenty of 1t; and fun with the boys own trademark on 1t. These re- suit In Americanism. appetite, and ad- venture-three big factors in the scout ing's mental, physical and moral prep aration for the future citizenship.
 The winter camp offers more adven- ture than the summer camp. It Is more strenuous and more thrilling. Breaking Ice in the morning to get water. pulling supplies on sleds over the snows, building radio communica- tion In the forest so that the folks at home can hear often of camp doings, piling wood around a gorgeous camp fre-are duties for real, red-blooded scouts.
 Each new snowfall presents clear page on which stories of the open are written for scouts who know tracking and trailing They may follow the trail of the fox, pursue the rabbit, learn the way to the home of the muskrat or beaver. and even discover how the field mice, pheasants. quail and game make their living during the winter months.
 For winter camping the boy must practice the scout motto-"Be Pre- pared" He must have heavier shoes, well oiled; extra thick socks, wool tra five pounds of wool blankets more than he requires in summer time.
 Pilgrimages in honor of famous men of scout deeds and character have their place in the winter camp life. The boys of Denver visit the grave of Buffalo Bill on the mountains near Denver. Scouts of the Middle West go to Lincoln's boyhood homes in Ken lucky. southern Indiana and Illinois. Chicago scouts visit the site of old Fort Dearborn. Philadelphia members spend Washington's birthday at Valley Forge, and New York lads Journey to the tomb of Theodore Roosevelt.

SCOUTS FIND LOST BABY

Scouts of Charleston, H.. brought re lief to an anxious home when they found two-year-old Robert Mahan, who had been lost for F hours, and deliy- cred him safe and sound to his rel. atives. Robert had strayed from a party of children who were nutting in the woods near Whetstone Ford. La ter unable to find the little boy the children gave frightened call for help at a house nearby. After fruitless search by neighbors. word was sent to the Charleston scouts. Under their scoutmaster, a number of the older boys hiked rapidly to the spot where the child had been seen last. There they divided into squads and began their search. Within a quarter of an hour they came upon the baby asleep In the hollow of a tree 1o feet from a tall bluff.

Wrangell News as Printed
 In Other Newspapers

This week a local citizen showed us newspaper from another town telling of big business deal that had taken place in Wrangell recent ly. The gentleman courteously in- quired why the Sentinel had failed
 to chronicle such an important item of news.
 Our only reason for not publishing an account of the deal referred to, is that no such deal has taken place We believe it is unjust to subscribers Ito publish stories that are based on rumor, and which can- mot be supported by authentic facts.
 In the past several big deals that never occurred have been reported by various Alaskan newspapers. The Sentinel is confident that at no distant date there will be consid- erable activity in southeastern Alas
 ka along new lines. It would be no surprise to the Sentinel if one or
 more deals involving amounts writ
 ten in six or seven figures should
 take place in the Wrangell district any day. Nevertheless, we intend tc
 continue to follow the conservative policy of not reporting any deals ntil they have actually taken pla a.

RED CAMPBELL IS TO TRAIN
 MICKEY" PRESCOTT
ketehlkan Man Believes Wrangeli Boy las All Maklngs of
 Real Champion
(ketchikan Chronicle)


 Red Campbell Of the Mountain City Athletic Club has arranged with Mickey Prescott to tram the latter, ana believes that he will prove the best boxer in Alaska for his class.
 Not only will he clean up every thing in Alaska, said Red today, but he will make them sit up and take notice outside, once he gets his stride. Mickie has all of the mak- ings of champion, if l have ever seen one.
 '.The kid is game; he has brains and an almost perfect physical de- velopment. He is quick as a cat and at the same time well muscled. Once he is trained to put his whole weight behind his blows, it will require a first class man to stand up against him. Take it from me, that kid is a wonder and all he needs is proper training and coaching"
 Red says his match with Prescott on Thanksgiving would have been a different story, if Mickey had had more ring experience.
 Campbell is putting on a smoker Friday night at the Hippodrome in which five bouts will be staged. The classy youngsters who made such a great hit Thanksgiving will box again and the other bouts will be by members of his class.
