of Porter's and with the temper his
record for never having failed to make
the trip on his own traction. The

BOY SCOUTS IN
MUD EXCURSION

Three carloads Of Boy Scouts from
Great Falls lived up to one phase Of
the scout creed nobly Saturday night
at the expense Of three basketball
games in Belt and the difference be.
tween sleeping in their own beds anC
staying over night In Belt. The boys
about n Of them In aIl clain they can
not be denied their good turn for thai
day.
At the first railway crossing out Of
Great Falls on the road to Belt, the
three cars encountered snow and mud,
the soapy kind Of mud that refused TO
stay under the wheels where it be-
lOnged The three cars were piloted
by M. L. Crouch, scout executive; Ed
gar Maciay, president Of the local
council, and M. M. Mullen.
A few miles out II Great Falls the
carloads Of scouts were delayed by an
other car, big coupe, which was hav-
ing hard time negotiating the mud.
The ear was without chains and time
and again the scouts hoped out to
help push 1t out Of q mudhole.
After they had accumulated a good
ly coating Of the sticky stuff, the big
coupe went dead. That was about two
and one-half miles out Of Belt. It's
passengers, man and woman and two
children. were divided among the
cars and the mud special caravan pro-
eeeed on its way.
After another mile more things hap
pened. Mr.. MulIen's car went dead.
1t was calmly pushed to one side Of
the road and part Of the party con-
tinued on foot to Belt. They got there
at 1880 in the morning, having left
here at 8 o'clock in the evening. Three
basketball games with scout troops
had been slated for O'Clock.
Mr.. Maclay and Mr.. Crouch drove
back the same night, arriving in Great
Falls early Sunday. The remainder Of
the party remained over night and
came back Sunday on the train.
Anyway" remarked one particu-
larly happy scout 1--WE didn't lose
game. Great Falls Tribune.

Internationally cars have been able to
get through. Monday night John
Marquardt made trip to Great Falls

that any serpent who ever tried to
