How many Scouts know "Whoops,
by Jingo?" Everybody learn it!
Everybody ready? Start walking,
left foot first and give this little
chant as you meander on:
Left, left,
Left the city's frills and laces,
Me for the great wide open spaces,
Whoop, by lingo,
Right for the country,
Whoop, by lingo.
(And repeat)
On the "Whoop, by lingo" both
times do quick step so that you
start on the opposite foot each time.
On the first "Whoop, by lingo" you
shift from the right to the left foot,
and on the second, from left to
right.
Let's see how many scouts can do
this intricate step before next troop
meeting.

n the dual swimming Meet held
n g on Saturday, February 7th,
tue Ely High School swimming squad
lost a close contest to the Virginia
High School team. The total num-
Der OF points were: Virginia 81, Ely
81.
The two teams battled like tigers,
Their of them jumping into the
of over five points. Ely made
sweep of the first event and
il amed as though Ely was going
to win the meet after placing high
in the dives. Ely fell low in the 40
ward free stroke event. From then
on it was a game of giving and tax
ing events. With just the medley
lay event left, the score stood 81
to 20 in Virginia's favor, with the
decision of the meet dependent on
this event. This was won by Vir-
GINA after a tough battle.
Ely captured three first places
against Virginia's five. The locals
gathered a majority of seconds and
thirds, getting three seconds to Vir-
glnla'S three, ana Iour tnlrus, W
Virginia's three.
The preliminary event was a con-
test between the Ely Freshmen 9Th
Grade and Virginia Junior High
teams. The result was Ely AZ, Vir-
ginia IL.
The Virginia Junior High boys
were outclassed in every event ex-
cept the breast stroke. The Ely
team gave splendid showing and
next year it is believed. the Ely High
School will produce another fine
team that will be hard for anyone
to conquer, team with plenty OF
satisfactory material. Undoubtedly
we have the best Junior High Team
on the range if not in the state.

Ends Another Mystery

Several years ago, one Shafstad. father-in-law of Ernest P. Walker, was reported as being missing from his camp on Elephants Nose, out Of Wrangell. Searching parties sent out to look for him failed to find any trace of him or his re- mains. Last week it was reported that the skeleton of man was dis covered short distance from where he had built his camp. It was ta a sitting posture, leaning up against "a tree, clothed in slickers and gum boots, with rife pretty much de cayed and rusted leaning against the tree at his side. It is believed tEIs skeleton is that of Shafstad whose body had never been found. Indians had been suspected of hay ing done away with Shafstad. So ends the tale.

Important Decision

The Supreme Court of the United States affirmed the decision of thB lower courts of Oregon which had sust aimed the law prohibiting the operation of fishwheels, dragseines ana traps on the Oregon side of the Columbia River. This was render ed in the case of P. J. McGowan and Sons, Inc, Astoria, Oregon. who had appealed from the decision of the Oregon Courts. They challeng- ed tthe constituttionality of the law. con.ending that it was in violation of the compact entered into between Oregon and Washington for the control of fishing in the Columbia River under an act of Congress.

Little One Out Danger In Serious Operation

The little child of Lynn Has Brouck, reported last week as being taken to Wrangell for ex-ray exam inatiOn, was operated upon by Drs 10 F Jones of Wrangell General Hospital and pr. Dan E. Standard. of Petersburg.
 The little one had picked up an open safety pin from the table and stuck it into her mouth. When she lost her balance and crashed to the floor with her chair, she swallowed the open pin. By night labored breathing indicated serious trouble so they took her to Dr. Standard He diagnosed the trouble and sug- rested taking the little one to WranSell TOT GX-ray oXamlnat1On and operation. pr. c. F. Jones who happened to be here on visit re- turned to Wrangell with them. The feuroscope showed the pin lodged in the gland back of the windpipe
 It was a long, hard operation and both doctors sweating with their labor. A single slip and the little one would never be able to speak above a whisper. Had the pin not been point up, the case would have been easy. ,,
 When the little one came out from under the anesthetic, it cried so the doctors were satisfied that their ef- forts to be so careful were not in vail, Later report from Wrangell was that the little one was as well as could be expected.
