BOY SCOUTS
START FOR CAMP
SUNDAY NEXT

The Boy Scout camp which was
last week announced to be held dur
ing the week of August 10th to Aug
ust 18th inclusive will start Sunday
August 3rd. Because OF the loss of
the Scout Master. DR.. Fraser and the
very recent loss of the assistant Scout
Master MI. Gray. DR.. Bunten, who is
as Scout Master until another
can be appointed is asking for all the
assistance possible from those inter
ested in this; the greatest of all boys
work. Practically all of the funds
needed for this cam is to be raised
by the Boy Scouts themselves but GER
tain articles of equipment needed for
the camp will have to be donated, the
most important OF which will be cars
for transportation to and from the
camp, tents, tarps, dutch ovens, etc.
Practically every one in Rawlins
goes out for a little ride every Sun
day so why not take a boy or two
with you and take them up to this
camp which is located at the end of
the new road leading toward Lake
Marie from Medicine Bow Lodge
On Tuesday of this week DR.. Bun
ten and four Of the Scout Patrol
Leaders made the entire trip to the
camp and return in the afternoon
and was assured by one OF the fore
men at the road camp that the road
would be In excellent shape by Sun
day. Tha-x0ad RI negotiated Tues
day without q particle Of trouble but
the last two miles had been 80 re-
Gently worked that the going was a
little slow. but because Of the damp
ness Of the soil in this region this
road will pack very rapidly. Prac-
tically all the way from the Lodge
this road traverses a beautiful for
est thanked on one side by tumbling
mountain brooks OF sparkling water
and on the other by steep mountain
slopes covered with spruce and pine.
The scenery at the end OF the road.
IL we'll worth the trip and II a little
hiking is INDUCED In one may get n
glimpse Of Lakes Marie, Lookout.
and Mirror whose beauty Is unsur-
passed anywhere In the Rockies. They
are no cold that on the Fourth OF
July n OF them was still covered
with ice and a week later still was
largely covered and now drifts
around the margin Of the lake which
had been covered by the waters OF the
melting snow were plainly visible In
the depths Of the lake. unmelted be-
meath the crystal clear water. From
the very edge of the lakes a preci-
pice rises almost perpendicularly to
aheiEht Of perhaps q thousand feet
the crevices OF which are still filled
from top to bottom by glaciers OF
ice and snow.
