6 THE SUNDAY J OREGOXIAX, . PORTLAND. - 31 AY 16, 1920, S 5 m - e r t a r X CONGRESS IS TOLD OF OREGON BEAUTY Sinnott Eloquently Describes State's Wonders. SHRINERS APPEALED TO Gray's Sell ' the : : :, Clothes' ' X Representative's Burst of Oratory - Designed to Mate Solons Eager ill to Attend Convention. I OREGOMAS news bureau, Washington, May 15. Representative Sinnott took advantage of the debate on the sundry civil bill in the house, when an appropriation relating to Crater Lake National park was reached, to make the Shriner mem bers of congress eager to attend the national conclave of Shriners to be held in Portland next month. In describing eloquently the scenery of Oregon he said: "Mr. Chairman, as we are Just con cluding the part of the bill relating to the national parks, it is an opportune time to call attention to the annual conclave of the imperial council of the Shriners. which is to be held In Portland, Or., June 22. 23 and 24 of this year. It is opportune to do this because it is expected that many of the Shriners in going to the council and returning will visit our national parks. It is expected that many of the Shriners will visit the wonderful Crater Lake park in Oregon. Snow to Be Cleared, "For several months I have had up the matter with the national ' park service of clearing the roads of snow leading to Crater Lake National park in my district, so that the, Shriners may view this wonderful phenomenon of nature. I have had assurance from Director Mather that the park service will do all in its power to clear the road of snow by the time the Shriners visit Portland. "Crater Lake is situated in Klamath county, it is a lake cauldron-like and circular, 7000 feet high, perched amid the peaks. Perpendicular sides of slaggy lava rise over 1000 feet from waters of indigo blue six miles across and 2000 feet deep. - j "To the scientist, a mighty volcano collapsed within itself. Mount Ma nama, 15,000 feet high, telescoped. "To the poet, 'the sea of sapphire 'the sea of silence,' 'a lake of mys tery.' 1 "To me, a shell hole of a war of worlds who knows? "Could the great blind poet have seen this marvel ere his pen had Lucifer and his host of rebel angels "Hurled headlong flaming from the ethereal ky, With hideous ruin and combustion down' in Miltonic imagery, here he'd have found the impact. Bend View Pictured. "After making the pilgrimage to Crater Lake the Shriners should go to Bend. P'rom Bend they will see the . great amphitheater of hills which rise ' and radiate from the Columbia to the cardinal points. They will see how hill piles on hill. How the hills rise V in the purple haze of twilight like bil " lows suddenly stilled on the crest. j. They will see the rim of the amphi- y theater and horizon from central Ore gon, pillared with a dozen lofty, eternal snow-capped peaks, once blazing beacons, now only reflecting above the dusk of the valleys from lofty eminences of snow and ice, the J soft pink glow of setting sun, as the day drops into the westward waters t" of the Pacific. "These snow-capped peaks are our reservoirs, exhaustless in life-giving waters, in energy and power. "After seeing the mountains the pilgrimage should continue to The Dalles through the Deschutes canyon, so narrow that it might have been cut with the 'saber stroke of Mars. 1 At The Dalles the Shriners will see where the great inland sea which once covered eastern Oregon, Wash- ington and parts of Idaho broke . through the barrier of the Cascade X range in some titanic convulsion of nature, according to the geologist. - Marital Combat Mlgkty. - "The Indian legend is that Mount "" Hood and Mount Adams, once es poused, engaged in a mighty mar-Hal . combat whose struggles broke the L mountain barrier, and the inland sea. ; disappeared through the gorge of the Columbia. , "The Indian's awe even now bears witness to the tribe's tradition. From .-' his canoe, as he glides through the Columbia's gorge," he sees the two - mythical mates of a Miocene age , Hood and Adams -now hiding behind the towering hills, ever and anon through favorable gaps in the gorge, stealing furtive peeps each at the other. "It may be so. Perhaps the Indian - who sees Qod in the wind' witnessed Z some colossal- cataclysm of nature. ' The surroundings bear evidence of the Z. epochal. A broad river suddenly turns on edge and at train speed rushes tnrougn a- gash in the lava flow. Palisades a sheer thousand feet. dwarfing the. Hudson's, rise from the waters eage. uiant causeways abound, dwarfing Krin's. T 'These are but a few of the marvels of the mountains which we shall show . to the nobles of the Mystic Shrine. . we expect few of the Shriners will . ever leave Oregon. . We will hold i. tnem as willing captives, voluntary captives to the charm of 'where rolls - the Oregon." - Why? Because they sell better clothes for less money. You'll say that's what they all, say .
