Sunday Services and Inspection
Order of tho Day Boat Race
and Treatura Hunt
There were a large number of vis
itors at the first Sunday in the
Bo Scout camp at Lost Lake, sev-
eral being early enough to attend
the Sunday services of the scouts,
which were in charge of Rev. W.
T. Beatty of White Salmon and
Rev. F. W. " Delaphine of Hood
River, and greatly enjoyed by all
pmcnt.
Then ia paction was the order of
the day, and was quite a matter of
serious inspection, as all the tents
were in splendid shape.
Many of the visitors brought
their lunch and several had notified
the cook and bought tVir dinners
there. A committee of the Lion.
Club of The Dalle brought five
gallons of ice cre-ini, which tlr:
scouts enjoyed very much. There
also were several nice treats of
peanuts, niarhallows, cantaloupes,
peaches, etc., brought for the boy
to' enjoy later, which means much
to a boy in, camp.
Court of Honor at 2:00 a. m. was
wonderful and showed some of the
work the scouts had been doing in
camp. Then came a boat race in
the large whale boats of the camp,
which was quite an exciting event
and enjoyed very much, as it was
declared a tie. Then a treasure
hunt, which proved quite a hunt,
but the trea ure was eventually
found, and being candy and gum
was, of course, quite a treasure to
the group which made the find.
There was scheduled contests in
brwimjning and; diving, but, , .the
afternoon proved too cold for the
sport. The wind and rain cleared
away at sundown and a wonderful
campfire ended the day in camp.
Scout Ralph Kaiser, and Her
best Kramer, from Maupin, attended
the camp.

The larg increase is attributed to
the "floating university" trip on the

on a two-weeks cruise of Alaska.
In addition to this, however, the
campu; enrollment of 161 students
exceeds all prevous enrollment.
16H0 students attended or are at
tending the summer sessions con
ducted in Eugene and Portland, and
the post-c.es. ions. This is an in

enrollment.
Post-session will close August 30
with commencement exereuji for

On Board the S. S. Queen
Thru the home paper I wish to
send word to n-y friends in Maupin
and ucinity that I am now on my
long anticipated Alaskan trip. We
left Seattle August 8th, and all too
soon will be back in the states a
week from today. We are now
southward bound but stopping to
load salmon from an up-to-date
cannery at Hood Bay before going
to Sitka. We will return via
Juneau, where the Juneau Alaska
mining works are overhead. I say
overhead, advisedly, because we
climbed about seven hundred step
almost vertically to reach the top
of the building on the hill over
hanging the town. The tunnels run
back into the hills two and one-
half miles and are still 250 feet be
low the turface. The mining is
done by the gravity system, with
huge revolving tanks containing
steel balls t0 crush the. ore.
Yesterday we were in Skaguay,
that famous place enroute to the
gold fields of Dawson. From there
we went inland on a narow guage
railroad, wheh . clmbs over White
Pass to lake Bennett and on. We .
went no farther than the lake,
where the few dteletons of Bhacka
remain as mute testimony of the
once gold-crazed population of
15,000, housed mostly in tents.
There is only a lunch station there
now. Skaguay, too, make one
think of a cemetery, when you see
the old vacant buildings and make
a guess at the probable excitement
of earlier days when the popula
tion exceeded 20,000.. In Skaguay
I saw the most beautiful flowers to
be found anywhere in the world.
The owner of the gardens under
stands his business for the richly
colored dahlias now in bloom were
truly as big as a dinner plate, and
the length of my indsx finger ju t
measured a nansv blossom. Fnfn
are expected at any time and then
only the hot house plants will sur
vive. The old trail may still be seen
along the sides of mountains of"
granite and overhanging a ragiugr
torrent I should have liked to go'
to Dawson to see White Horse rapids
where the first gold seekers met
their Waterloo, but if financially
secure I'd like to spend the summer
in Ala ka so we'll forget the if.
Last evening we heard Bishop
Rowe of the Episcopal church, who
having come into the territory be
fore '98, visited missions along the
Yukon and inside the arctic Circle
with dog teams. His recent trip
to his northern mi sion was by air
plane. You would never tire of
hearing thia man stalwardt physi
cally, mentally and morally, who
has met all th vicissitudes of life
in Alaska, has a sense of humor and
unbounded faith in the people, Es
