was opened with the Scout Oath
and Laws led by Eagle Scout Billy
Coltman. Scout Coltman was then
awarded a warrant signifying his
appointment to the office of Junior
Assistant Scoutmaster. After some
harmonica selections and spooky
stories, the boys rolled into their
blankets
The night was cold making H.,
boys hungry in the morning, and
after a hearty breakfast, some OF
the scouts climbed a nearby hill
and signalled to other scouts down
below in the camp.
The morning being pretty chilly
we all went out for little hike and
we didn't stop until we reached the
summit of Mount Washington. It
was pretty tough climb and we
were almost too tired to enjoy the
scenery. We ate dinner after we de-
scended and then enjoyed much
needed rest.
Later in the afternoon Mr.. Mac
Gregor came and handed out chew
ing gum and candy. That night at
the campfire he told us many in
teresting stories of his experiences
with mountain lions and grizzly
bears in British Columbia and Van
couver~We went to our hunks that
night and dreamt all about these
animals.
Next morning, we went on anoth-
er interesting trip into the hills
with Mr.. MacGregor analyzing the
mineral contents of the surround
ing rocks.
Soon after the noon meal we
packed up and went home.
Those present on the hike were
Scoutmaster Harold Stiles, Mr.. Mac
Gregor, Junior Assistant Scout
masters Billy Coltman and Dan
Bracker, Royal MacGregor, Robert
Segar, Gerald Austin, and r. c.
Edgell.

italian man-mountain. Moreover,
Jack Dempsey is to be offered nice
slice to referee the fight. After the
Miami fracus and the bout in June
the syndicate behind this offer
might have to talk to somebody else.
Speaking of freak finishes, how
do you think Virginia Van Wye,
of Chicago, felt in the recent Flor
ida golf championship when her ef-
fort to negotiate dead styrnie on
the nineteenth hole failed and her
ball knocked that of Helen Hicks
into the cup, giving her opponent
the victory. AS far as we know this
is the first time that one player has

TROOP 40

Last week END, several OF the
members of Troop 40 went to the
washington Camp District on a
camping trip. Mr.. Stiles, the scout
master, and Mrs. McGregor trans
ported the boys out to the camp
ing site and camp was made late
Friday afternoon. A large amount
of wood was gathered for the camp
fire that night and then each Of the
boys cooked their own SupperS. A
few of the Tenderfoots had pret-
ty tough time manipulating the
cooking utensils and although their
food was half raw they enjoyed it
just the same.
At the campfire that night, a
regular troop meeting was held. 1t

TO FIGHT, BUT WHERE?
WALKER BEATS RISKO
WRESTLING POPULAR
A NEW MILE RECORD?
NATIONAL LEAGUE OUTLOOK
A COUPLE OF HOT ONES
Just where the Schmeling -Strib-
ling heavyweight championship
match will take place next June
seems to be in the air. While it
was thought that Chicago had the
inside track recent developments
indicate that dickering is going on
in Cleveland, Detroit, and, possibly,
Jersey City. No definite announce
ment is expected for some weeks
but the New York milk fund main
tains it's hold on the fighters and
has them under contract for 1882.
Mickey Walker, with little appar-
ent regard for his middleweight
crown, gave Johnny RiSko big ad-
vantage in poundage and hammer
ed out a decisive victory at Miami,
winning the unanimous decision Of
the judges and being generally ere
dited with taking six of the ten
rounds. The fight was about even
up to the last two rounds which
Mickey won in a most decisive rally.
Wrestling continues to gain ia
vor as evidenced by the $1,000 peo-
pie at New York who saw Jim Lon
dos, Greek heavyweight champion
retain his title in his match with
Jim MacNillen, former star athlete
of the University of Illinois. The
bout is said to have drawn 100000
and was attended by many notables
Experts expect that the indoor
one-mile record may be equalled
or improved in March when Carl
Coan, Ray Conger, Gene Venzke,
Paul Martin and Leo Lerrnond are
expected to participate in a New
York meeting. AS we understand
it the indoor mile has been run
faster than 4.13 only four times
by Paavo Nurmi, Joie Ray and
Lloyd Hahn. Most experts give
Conger the best chance to join this
select group. His recent defeat by
Coan is attributed to his effort to
set a record in Philadelphia, where
he passed the three-quarter mile
post in 3.12 and had chance to
come through with a record by a
fast finish. However, he just missed
it and permitted two others to come
in ahead.
John Heydler, of the National
League is confident that a big year
awaits his organization which broke
all baseball attendance records in
1880. He expects at least six clubs
to figure in the race ands on paper,
his dope seems to be all right. Any
league with the present Brooklyn
team, the Cubs, the Cardinals and
the Giants can look for hard fight.
If any of these falter there are one
Or two second division clubs that
will give them the gate.

Opening at "a cent off to Is up,
wheat later scored material gains. Corn
started at 4 decline to a advance, and
subsequently rose all around.
Both in wheat and corn. a feature
was unusual absence of selling pressure,
a circumstance attributed to apparent
inadequacy of drought relief. Only
scattered rains and snowfalls were re-

needed over widespread areas.
Opponents of higher prices vainly

in Liverpool was selling at 3 cents a
pound loaf compared with 10 cents in
this country.
Wheat upturnS carried the market to
the highest point reached in more than

NEW YORK, February For the
second time in week the New York

Shortly after the opening of the mar

specialists in certain stocks for other
brokers, had been expelled from mem
bership in the exchange.
The charge under which the Govern

that in the execution of buying orders
entrusted to them, Danforth and Mel
son supplied stock without disclosing
their ownership in it to their actual
principals, and concealed their oper-
alton by having other members of the
exchange, jointly interested with them
in the account which supplied the stock,
accept and report the transaction.

MARKET SITUATION.

NEW YORK, February (Special) =
The basis on which the bear crowd has
resumed its operations is that Of the
slow recovery in business. This has
been realized fully by those who have
been buying stocks, but who took the
position that stocks were cheap even
If business did not improve until late
in the Summer or early in the Autumn.
The bears, however, argue that the
market has discounted the change in
the mental attitude of Wall Street and
that it must now more closely reflect
earnings and dividend payments. The
situation is one where again the tech
meal situation in the market is more
likely to control price movements for a
time than any outside developments.

VIRGINIA IRON co.
HAS GOOD QUARTER
Last Three Months of Year Show
Net of $73,971-Divi-
dends Paid.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 6-Virginia
Iron, Coal g. Coke Co. had a profitable
last quarter in 1880, but net income for
that period of $73,971 failed to save the
year from showing net loss of 1865
after all charges. The better showing
for the last three months was forecast
when directors declared a $3.50 divi-
dend on the preferred stock in early
November, paying up two years ac-
crualS and the current Semi-annual re-
quirement as well.
Virginia Irons hopes for improved
profits are not conferred entirely on its
coal business, but are based partly on
its land holdings in Virginia, which are
now being drilled for natural gas by
public utility interests. The company
owns about 100 square miles of such
lands, and while the gas is fairly deep
below the 2000-foot level-Several good
wells have been sunk, with the likeli-
hood Of others being developed. It is
estimated 1000 wells can be drilled on
the property. Company will receive
payments for these drilling privileges
on royalty basis on gas released from
the wells.
There are several gas pipe lines in
the vicinity, the nearest running within
so or go miles of the property, indi-
eating that cost of running a spur
branch to the field would not be ex-
cessive. Two prominent public utility
interests are understood to be actively
interested in this property.
Payment of the $3.50 dividend Janu-
airy required about $295, 1888, on the
basis Of 1881 shares of preferred stock
outstanding on December 81, 1929. At
that time the company had s1O2.O74
in cash, with receivables carried at
1904, 403. At the time of the declara-
ton of the dividend, Virginia Iron
stated that dividends received from
subsidiaries had made the payment
possible.
The company has been operating at
a loss in the past few years, amounting
to S14,205 in 1929, $64,222 in 1928 and
$182, 436 in 1928.
