Show U Dell Opens Plans are all complete for the official opening of Mutual Dell which will take place in the form of a tri-stake convention at the Dell tomorrow. Those who have visited in the canyon this past week say it has never been more beautiful than at the present time. The moisture has been sufficient to encourage the growth of the trees and wild flowers and there is water running in the canyon bed which has been very scant during the past few years. At the Dell the lawn, planted early this spring, is up and growing nicely, also -the shrubs which were planted around the grounds, show every sign of taking permanent root. The inside has not been forgotten as the kitchen has been painted and a new heating system installed that insures plenty of hot water. New curtains have been hung throughout the building and some benches made to accomodate the ever increasing crowds attending the evening programs. pro-grams. For the boys there have been new bunks made and excellent straw ticks for eyery bed. The Forest Service have been contacted con-tacted and it is hoped that before this season is over, with their aid, work will be begun on the amphitheatre, amphi-theatre, swings and other outside equipment for the enjoyment of the ward members while at the camp.
