I linked this in because of the reference to "Camp Carey", a Boy Scout Camp somewhere on Boxelder Creek, the land for which was donated by former Governor Robert D. Carey.
The Casper Herald also mentioned it on the front page.
It's not there today, and I don't know where it is, or what happened to it. A search for its fate was in vain, although through that method, I learned that it had been in existence as late as the 1950s and a local figure's obituary proudly noted his role in establishing it. A Camp Carey Road exists in Wyoming, but it seems to be in the Pole Mountain area of Albany County, which this is not. Indeed, there's a reference to a military "Camp Carey" that predates this 1924 Boy Scout establishment.
By 1925, Girl Scouts were also using the "woodland paradise".
In 1926, a terrible weather related tragedy occured there, apparently.
Twelve people died from drinking denatured alcohol at a party in Toledo, Ohio. That is, alcohol with poisons added to it by regulation.
This is very common and is designed to keep industrial and commercial alcohol from being used as a drink.
The German People's Party announced its election platform of a "new democratic monarchy".
