PLANS COMPLETE
FOR SCOUT CAMP
F. H. Zinser and H. L. Cook,
boy scout executives of the Salem

motored to Cascadia last Tuesday
and returned yesterday afternoon.
While there they made a final in
yestigatlon of the camping
grounds where the boy scouts
from the two cities will meet for
a two weeks outing August 1 to
August 16.
While at Cascadia the leaders
made arrangements with nearby
farmers to furnish th. camp with
fresh vegetables and all tbe milk
that can be .used. In this way It
will save the cost of transporta
tion on garden truck and at the
same time they will be assured cf
strictly fresh articles. According
to Mr. Zinser from the standpoint
of a place offering the best facil
ities for hikes and fishing the
camp at Cascadia cannot be beat
en any where on tbe coast.
Mr Zinser and Mr. Cook were
delayed at least half a day on
their homeward trip when they
found that a government forest
had gone through a bridge
rroAsme on. of the mountain
.r.m R.fore they were able
to cross they had to help pull
th. truck out of water and then
construct a temporary bridge
which would allow them to pro
ceed.
Mr. Zinser withes it mad. clar
thai the camn to be held at Cas
la in no manner connected
with the Y. M. C. A. camp
Otis. Many people are confusing

Romance Goes Sour,

A troth unkept, a love unre-

Alfred wants back th diamond

ton, or else he wants the $165
which, It appears, had to be flash
ed under the nose of a jeweler be
fore the ring was wrapped up and
congratulations had been offered.
To this end the recovery of thai
ring Alfred has engaged as his
attorney, Don Miles of Salem, and
has stripped for legal battle.
In his suit he names as defend
ants both Alta and her father, O.
V. Meyers who, he alleges, may be
in possession of the ring.
Some time ago, Alfred sets
forth, he and Alta met in Portland
where he was then living. Of one
another they became enamored
at least Alfred thought quite a bit
of Alta and, as evidence thereof,
he and a jeweler got down to a
business basis.
This very June, he says, he and
Alta were to try and live as cheap
ly as one. But they didn't that
Is, they didn't try. The marriage
never was solemnized for Alta left
