which print either all-white on gray

WHAT THE WEST LOST

A SHORT time ago, Congress
man Ralph Horn of Seattle
pointed out in a speech to the
House the great loss the West
sustained in switching from Re-
publican to Democratic ranks.
Ten chairmanships of committees
were lost in the House and sixteen
in the Senate. All of them were
important in considering legisla-
ton affecting the western states.
Never in the history of our coun-
try has the West had the influ-
ence on national matters as in the
period just passed. It took the
West almost hundred years to
reach that point. Estimates of

PERMANENT SCOUT CAMP
ESTABLISHED

The dream of every Boy Scout
troop came true for Kennewick
Troops 26 and 81 last week when
a conference of sKennewick scout
officials including local district
councilmen, troop committeeman
and scoutmasters, went into con-
ference and decidede to establish
and develop a permanent scout
camp for the Kennewick district.
The camp site selected is a five
acre area on the south bank of the
Yakima river eight miles due west
of Kennewick. The land is condem-
ned for farming purposes and is
owned by the Columbia Irrigation
company who has loaned it to the
Boy Scouts for an indefinite per-
iod.
The site is ideal for a scout
camp. The Yakima river offers ex-
cellent swimming and boating.
Nearby wooded islands on which
wild bird and animal life seem to
be concentrated offers opportun-
tiles for woodcraft and nature
study. The Prosser Kennewick
highway bounds the camp on the
south making it easily accessible
by car. The highway is separated
from the camp by a steep grade,
high bank, however, so that the
traffic will not interfere with the
scout activities.
Kennewick scout officials, with
Larry Oliver, district chairman,
and Vane Wilder, district commits
sioner, in charge voted to obtain
and erect on the camp site a cabin
suitable for winter and summer
camping trips. They also decided
to launch tree planting campaign
which will they hope eventually
make the scout camp the beauty
spot of the valley.
Robert III. Hayes, Scout Execu-
tive of the Blue Mountain Council,
attended the meeting and offered
many suggestions. With his help
preliminary arrangements were
made for conducting a weeks sum-
mer camp exclusively for Kenne-
wick scouts at thenew camp site.
