BOV SCOUTS ENJOY
VERY PLEASANT EVENING
The Boy Scouts of Cordova held
their meeting in their headquarters in
the city hall last night, there being
only one absentee. The regular
monthly business was soon trans
acted and, the Scouts then adjourned
to the scoutmaster’s home and en
joyed the evening in playing games
of crokinol and carroms, with some
sweets on the side, while two new
applicants took preliminary tender
foot tests in anticipation of soon be
coming scouts. Music also helped in
making the evening pleasant and en
joyable.
The applicants, Barth O'Loughlin
and Don Foster, did very well in their
preliminary tests and expect to take
the final tenderfoot test soon and
wear the bright tenderfoot badge to
show that they passed with honors.
The scoutmaster would like to see
some more of the boys around town
pass the test and become scouts and
have the privilege of wearing the
scout badge and uniform and using
the Boy Scout equipment on hikes
and camps.

M’CARTHY PETITIONS
FOR MORE WAGON ROADS
A petition is now being circulated
to have a wagon road built from Mc
Carthy to Long Lake, adjacent to the
Copper River & Northwestern rail
road. «
If this is favorably reported upon it
will not only help the present ranch
ers who have invested all they have
got in their farms, but will enable
others to take up homesteads and do
likewise.
But we must also bear in mind that
our main trails into the Nizina and
Chlsana placer diggings are still in
complete and we want the improve
ments to continue along the Sour
dough trail which were started so well
last season.* With our new bridge
over McCarthy creek, and the ap
proach on the other side graded, a
well finished trail will make those
ranches and mining camps more ac
cessible, and, considering that Mc
Carthy derives much of its summer
income from these regions, we should
endeavor to make them more get-at
able.—McCarthy News.
