ST. MARYS SCOUTS
 PUT OVER BENEFIT
Large Audience at Bradley Theatre Applauds Music and Playlets.-Two Bands and Orchestra.

An audience that practically filed the Bradley theatre, Friday night showed its appreciation cf tne very fine program put on by st. Mary Boy Scouts. for their annual benefit per formance. by generously applauding every number That there are nusi- eians in Putnam. and plenty of them, was evidenced by the playing of the Boy Scouts first and second bands and by the numbers given by the newly or ganized orchestra.
 The appearance Of the second band and of the orchestra was the first they have made in public. The younger boys take their task as earnestly as do the older boys. If the intention IS to make the younger group a band Of trained musicians to step up to the older group as the years pass the material Is at hand and at no time will the first band need seek far for musicians.
 The New Orchestra
 The debut of the orchestra, fcrm- ed but three weeks ago. was one or the high spots of the evening, as was the way the amateurs put over the two playlets. "The Laziest Man in the World". and, Winning Lovers While the casts in each were well chosen and well able 10 take care of the situations and elimaxes, perhaps the outstanding characters of a well balanced juvenile company were those Of William Donovan and Annie Daigle, east for female parts. Their efforts were most amusing and they were ably supported in putting their lines and "business" over by those grouped about them. Both comedies were pleasantly satisfactory and enjoyable.
 The bands played sing,y. together and with the orchestra. The ensemble numbers. possibly the hardest, were well executed. Rev. Joseph Casey, whose individual efforts have created interest in the Scouts and in their musical efforts, led his proteges throughout the evening.
 The performance. as given Friday night. was repeated Sunday, after noon. in St. Mary's hall. for the ac- commodation of the children. The young audience was fully as demon strative as were their elders. While no information has been given out as to the financial success of the under taking it will doubtless be substantial.

GASBOAT PHEASANT DOES ANTICS AND
 IS BEING WATCHED

The gas boat Pheasant. owned by Bert Maycock, seems to be giv- ing her owner no end of trouble About a month ago the boat sank near Snettisham when she swung around on her anchor chain and hung up on rocks that damaged her planking. When the tide came in the little ship filled and sank She was raised and lowed to Ju- neau and at high tide placed on the beach near the Morris ranch near Salmon Creek.
 Recently, when Afr Maycock and MT. Morris prepared to repair the damage the Pheasant decided to turn around and settle on the other side for a change. Her new posi- ton, which DIT. 1iagcock said was sickly one. has necessitated con- stant watching and both Morris and Maycock have remained up nights 90 as to be on hand in case the sick boat takes turn for the Worse.
