$135,000 radio broadcasting campaign to be staged every night Beginning in late September has been decided upon-by Herbert Hoover and his campaign counselors. For 45 nights before November 6 the Republican speakers bureau will broadcast one-half hour each night on a national network. In order to reach every voter with a radio set, the program will alternate on the National Broadcasting network and the Columbia Broadcast ing network. Hoover's advisers have estimated the cost of setting up each national network will be about $3,000 nightly. In addition, expenses of the speakers must be paid together with additional expenses arising from the task of staging a show for 45 nights without a repeat of the program.

But the Hoover strategists believe the money could not be spent more profitably. Only a few thousand persons can hear directly the "few speeches of the 8tump campaigners.

Roud, scout executive here, that one of the eagle scoutg working on the project will be chosen a chief of the Blackfeet tribe by popular vote, late this week. The scouts will break camp at St. Mary's Chalet, Thursday morning and spend the rest of the day and Friday on the Indian reservation where the election and ceremony will take place. Caughey's letter follows: "I'm sorry that I haven't had much time to write before, but they rush you around a good deal here. At seven we get up, and by eight we are on the trail, where we work for five hours.

After lunch we can do most anything we want which is usually fishing, mountain climbing or sleeping. After supper we get a little time before camp fire. "I presume you are interested to know just what kind of a trail this really is. Well, it is simply a pack horse trail from Red Eagle Landing on St. Mary Lake to Going-to-the- Sun Chalet.

Thia completes ao, portaut link between St. Mary's Chalet and Sun Chalet, which heretofore had to be made by boat up the lake. The trail runs along the side of Red Eagle mountain.

Often large rocks have to be dynamited out. "This is Monday night and on Thursday morning, we break camp, and go down to the reservation until Friday night. One scout is to be chosen by popular vote to be taken into the Blackfeet tribe as a chief. I guess only a few presidents have had the honor. Last year they gave the scout his complete ceremonial dress, worth about four hundred dollars.

"This second week has been nearly all rainy and cold, but we work just the same. Saturday it snowed and the snow is still on the mountains.
