THE SCOUTS HAVE LANDED AND HAVE
 THE SITUATION WELL IN HAND

Elsewhere in todays paper Empire readers Will find story about the activities at the Boy Scout camp But for those parents who were not able to get out yesterday on visitors day we would like to make one report which we think indicates, perhaps more than any other how well they getting along
 The cook is "tops"-no less In Boy Scout lan- guage that means the height of something or other in ability to prepare meals which make hit with the stomach and lots of it. We suspect that Scout camps are little different others in that respect If the appetite is satisfactorily appeased life takes on a brighter hue Thus would like to report for 25 young Scouts that life is bright indeed at Eagle River camp and MT. Arthur J. Davis, the young man who presides as cook has established himself as a great guy" with group of growing youngsters
 As one youngster put it. Hot cakes Bogl Smothered in butter and swimming in syrup"
 There was abundance of other kinds of food but we imagine you can get the idea. We did when we saw those lads and we thought we'd pass along the most important information in a growing boys life they're getting plenty of food, and the right kind
 Other than that report the boys are talk ing on healthy looking tan interspersed with mos quito bumps and altogether having fine time Some of the lads admitted the mosquos little vigorous but so the boys living out there in the open so what's a bug more or less.
 Want to go home?" we asked one weather beaten youngster
 Heck no he replied we got some over night hikes coming up this week I wish going to stay month"
 Like the Marines your Boy Scouts, dear parents have landed at Eagle River and have the situation well in hand

A COMMUNITY CELEBRATION

few weeks ago the prospects for a Fourth of July celebration this year not very bright There some question whether there would be celebra- tion of any kind. But the American Legion, which has been putting the annual event for years witH money raised through the Chamber of Commerce decided to ask Juneau's business people what they thought about it. group of publc-spirted citizens called together and the proposition put up to them. This group didn't hesitate They not only said there should be celebration but that they would go out and raise the money In days they brought in fund of more than thousand dollars Now it is near the $1,20O mark
 The Citizens Committee found out too, that the business houses and individuals of the community were whole-heartedly back of the celebration. The fund the committee raised proves it. Indications that the system adopted this year, similar to the one in vogue many years ago, is a good way for handling the Fourth of July celebration. It makes it a ful- fledged community affair.
 The Legion has been given the money and the job of putting the actual celebration. The record of the Legionnares the years sufficient assr that they will do good job of it. Juneau again

WARNS AGAINST
SPOTTED fever.
IN MONTGOMERY.
Dr.. EIIiCott Tells Of
Peril Ticks Spread

ROCKVILLE. Md. Aug. IS.
The struggle to stamp out spotted
fever, which has claimed three
lives in Montgomery county in the
last six months, was described by
DR.. v. L. Ellicott, county health
officer, today as harder than the
Army Medical Corps battle against
yellow fever.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever
is spread by an inSect-the tick
but efforts to check the disease,
DR.. Elliott said, are made difficult
by the fact that no effective tick
control program has been devised.
Latest victim of the dreaded
tick was George Kuster, 40, of Gar
rett Park, who succumbed in
Georgetown Hospital yesterday.
Grin A. c. Downey, mayor of Rock
Hall, Md, also died yesterday of
the disease.
Within the past five weeks
three persons have contracted
the Rocky Mountain spotted fever
in Montgomery county. All
three lived in the same area
and lost their lives as a result Of
the infection.
So far there have been six cases
reported in Montgomery county
this year; with three deaths. There
were six cases in 1887 and eight
in 1896 with no loss Of life.

MARINE BANDS.
CONCERT HEARD.
BY THOUSANDS.
Playing Of Bach Wins
Praise of Critics
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN

BY WILLIAM NEWMAN
The fame Of the United States
Marine Band is justified even in
its daily and, one may believe,
somewhat casual assignments,
such as the concerts played
each Wednesday before the
south facade of the Capitol.
Thousands gather to perch in
mild discomfort on the steps or
to spread out on the lawns and
= they remain happily even for
''The Marines Hymn" and "The
Star-Spangled Banner" which
always conclude the program.
d. Capt. Taylor Branson and his
associate, William F. Santel-
mann, who conducted last
night, feel that these concerts
perform q cultural function.
Last night, for the first time in
q long experience, I heard Bach
played by a band. It was well
played, although it was no easy
selection but transcription Of
the choral-prelude and fugue on
the chorale, "Fervent Is My
Longing"
CHORALE MAJESTIC
The chorale, in the moment
when it was assigned to the
brass choir, was majestic in its
cumulative but unforced So
nority, and the fugue, a tangled
technical page, went fleetly,
lightly and with deft emphasis
Of subject and structure.
This, of course, is symphonic
music and filled with pitfalls
for the ordinary wind ensemble,
but not by any chance for this
band. So, too, were the ex-
cerpts from the Massenet ballet,
''Les Erinneys," transcription Of
the Mendelssohn "Rondo Capric-
cioso" and the Liszt second
Hungarian Rhapsody.
: The public liked them, SEEM
ingly, Just as well as the ex-
cerpts from the works Of Victor
Herbert and Johann Strauss,
though these were played with
the authentic Broadway punch
and Viennese Tilt; and they
were made happy by the soloists.
DEMAND REPETITION
From the ranks Of the band
stepped, first, Musicians Lind
say and Hess to present the
familiar romance for flute and
French horn which the ven
cradle composer It'll called a
'tSerenade.''' They did it with
so much taste that the public
demanded a REPETITION Of the
last division Of the piece.
Then TromboniSt Isele came
forward to demonstrate the un-
suspected capacity CT his inStru-
ment for beautiful song. He
played first a Concert Piece" by
the distinguished French COM
poser, RoSseau, a work Of genu-
inc beauty and imagination
which the public liked so well
that again an encore was de-
manded.
He offered Cadrnan's From
the Land of the Sky Blue
Water" to define It's quite lovely,
If simple, lyric line with ele-
gance and a varied beauty Of
tone that notably enhanced its
Importance,
