Ancient Indian Pottery Discovered Twenty six Cashmere (Wash.) hoy scouts, with their leaders, started iu a big truck for au overnight euwp, an all day trip which landed them iu the beautiful Sipiukane creek valley at nightfall. They erected tlieir shel ter tents, had u big “ feed” and a Jolly campfire pow-wow. Short ly nfter taps a scout reported a tire visible down the canyon. In less than 30 seconds the troop was in formation ready for action. The Ited Cross patrol under Senior I ’utrol Leader Gail I ’hllilps was s«‘nt down the canyon with instructions to leave two scouts at the sawmill a mile away, another two at another point, etc., so that as soon as the lire was located a message could be relayed back to camp. Meanwhile two other patrols were equipped for (Ire fighting, and special orders given. A few minutes later two boys of the first patrol brought back word that It was the mill which was on fire, and that they hud left the other six scouts in the thick of it. One of the assist ant scoutmasters and a few scouts, were left to guard the camp, as It was surrounded by valuable timber which might catch fire. Scoutmaster Chichester end Assist ant liraggons arrived at the scene of the disaster in u short time with an eager squad of workers. The few men in charge at the mill had about given up hope of saving anything from the flames, but the buys formed a bucket brigade from a nearby creek to the lumber plies, and by means of wet sacks put out new fires, which kept starting, while another crew- wrecked the high tramway which was acting ns a fuse and leading the fire from pile to pile of lumber. By 2 a. in. the fire was under control. The mill and a large amount of lumber had been destroyed, but thanks to the efforts of the scouts, two bui'dlngs, some furniture, two or three heavy wagons, and over 200,000»feet of lum ber, some $3,000 worth In all, were saved, a weary but triumphant lot of hoys hiked back to camp, leaving two of their number to patrol the fires until daylight. They did not climb the mountain the next day, as had been planned, but nobody was disappointed, as the troop had had enough thrills AQd hard work for one outing. The work of the scouts received much well deserved praise, and the president of the lumber company whose property they had saved pre sented the troop with a $T>0 check In appreciation of the remarkable good turn, a gift that was accepted with the understanding that the money would lie used to purchase needed equipment.
