E. Skinner Arrives From LeMars, Iowa, to Assume Direction. Boy scout activities in Casper are again in charge of a salaried execy- tive, experienced in boys’ work, through the arrival of E. E, Skinner of LeMars, Iowa, who took over his hew duties yesterday. Mr, Skinner's family, consisting of a wife and foyr children, accompanied him to Cas- per and for the present are located at the T. N. Shaw home at 1303 South Spruce street. Mr. Skinner, comes to the position here highly recommended by the men with whom he has worked during the past five years and by the re- gional executive. The following taken from he Le Mars Sentinel indicat: how the people of the community re- garded Mr. Skinner's work. “Mr, E. B®. Skinner who has had charge of the commercial department at West- ern Union College for a number of years and has been principal of the academy for two or three years will leave Le Mars the first of August to take a position as Boy Seout Ex: ecutive at Casper, Wyo. Mr. Skinner has had charge of the Boy Scouts in Le Mars for five years and much of the good work done by that organi- zation has been due to his leadershjp, He gave the Boy Scouts practically full time during the summer and during the winter directed the work, serving much of the time as scout- master. “Only those who have worked with Mr. Skinner can appreciate the full value of the service he has rendered this community as scout executive and none of the men on the local council feels any: question about his making good in his new position. He likes boys and they ike him and he possesses the proper mixture of firm- ness and tact for the difficult task of handling boy: After helping with the scout camp at Camp Carey for the summer Mr. Skinner went back to Le Mars where he conducted one of ‘the most auc: cessful camps ever held there. So pleased were the members of .the Le Mars Rotary club with his work that they held a special farewell meeting for him and presented a fine Gladstone traveling bag to him as a token of their appreciation of his efforts in behalf of the boys of Le Mars and community. Tt is the aim of the scout organ!- zation in Casper to lead the state so far as regards @ real scout pro- gram and Mr. Skinner declares that he {s going to do everything possible to carry on the work which those be- fore him have so ably promoted. He believes that with the co-opera- tion of the enthusaistic Casper Scout officials that Casper will have an or- ganization which will be a credit to any community. “Don't rebuke the man who falls to remove his hat in the hotel ele- vator,” says Bebe Daniels. “Pity him, for he may be bald.” Bebs had to wear a wig for picture purposes and one lock of hair was very un- ruly.

More than @ million tourists have visited the city so far, The’ provin: tial records show that over 20,000 automobiles have crossed the border and hotel bills alone are estimated at mbore than $20,000,000. ‘The thirst of the visitors has been 80 great that the Quebec liquor com: mission store, in the heart of the hotel district, has become popularly known as the “million dollar store. Its receipts havé {ar surpassed those of any other bpanch in the province and the proffis of the commission promise to be sufficiently large again this year to give the government quite tidy sum to invest Jn educa- tion, roads, and other improvementr. ‘The articles chiefly in demand in tha local stores are furs and woolen goods. Searcely a woman tourist leaves without a fur coat. Imported woolens find their best sale in men's sults, with sports costumes plus furs and golf stockings not far be- hind.

The prosecution then opened its case by placing County Clerk Emma C, Marshall upon the stand to verify certain vouchers ordered paid to R. C.

He at firet testified that the Bucknum bridge cost about $150, and afterward ad: mitted that the bridge had cost the county $1,500, with the Burlington railroad paying for a good sharo of the cost of construction. County Commissioners Ear! Bur- well and Guy T. Morgan, County Surveyor Kennedy and R, C.
