(Portland Toloprnm.) AJiont 2:30 p. m., 400(1 years from now Mcdford nnd nil OrpRon will be immersed in a doltipe that will make the liHnrio sprinkle of Noah's time look like a morning dew. The cro eminent engineers hav the tiling nil figured out. Crater lake will bo the doom and desl mo tion of ns all. That innocent and transeendently heantifnl body of water, said to he the highest fresh water lake in the world, has never in spired awe uive by its grout grnn- icur. J i lias never sirncK terror 10 the hearts of the thousands of tour ists who Iiavo viewed its sublimit as a patential engine of human de struction. But its silent charms now turn out to be but theinaudiblo yo deling of a wieked siren, for mil lions of souls will he plunged to watery graves beneath its limpid waters in just 400 decades- if the government engineers read the sign nright. Thoc of us who expect to be hero at Hint distant day and hour might ns well take out n little more life in surance nnd begin Fettling our af fairs. Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea to learn how to swim, row a boat and ptu on life preservers, so we can pnavigate to loftier altitude like Mount Hood, Rainier or othci shimmering peaks where there would he a haven of refuge for nil. The tervlblc calamit prognosti cated is based ujoii a strange phe nomenon observed by the surveying party sent out by Major Morrow to plat trails and highways through the Crater Lake National reserve. By soundings nnd other methods known only to such wise men, they have found that the surface of Cra ter lake is rising three inches every year, nnd that, this has been going on for an intermediate period. The rim of the huge bowl in which the lake nestles is G000 feet Move the sea level1 and the waters are now within 1000 feet of the edo of the rim. So it becomes only a matter of applied science to show that at rate of three inches a year it would take just 4000 years for the waters to overflow the rim and convert all lower altitudes of the state into one vast inland sea from hundreds to thousands of feet deep. Some suggestions have been made ns to how to avoid such a fearful toll of life should the lake be allowed to continue its nwful course. One i& to erect huge heliostuts, or geodetic heliotropes, in a series about the rim of the lake. These huge gallse.s would serve to concentrate the ra3's of the sun to such an extent that the" evaporation would exceed the rise of the water which is oupposed to bo duo to the subterranean springs which feed the lake. Another scheme is to obtain a special permit from the government to attach sev eral thousunds siphons to the lake and drain off several billion cubic feet of water every year for use :n generating power or for irrigating purposes. This might be a ilttle dif ficult owing to the conservation jmjI icy of the government, but it io be lieved a special dispensation could be secured if it be shown that the lives of all theinhnbitants )in the state nro to bo snuffed out 4000 yean, hence. Ono great scientific genius says that it would be an easy mutter to erect a number of monster artificial ice "pl'ints at the brink of the lake which could bo used to freeze the surface of the Jnko down a hundred feet or so. This would act as a watertight lid on the lake, nnd the springs supplying the lake would be forced to seek soma subterranean outlet through the sides of the moun tains which hem in the lake at the present time. Ah thero aro still 40 centuries lacking a few hours, before the real crisis approaches, there arc apt to develop a number of other cqunlly efficacious ways of avoiding a gen oral cataclysm.

SALEM, Or., Aug. 3. Whether the open season for hunting deer nnd a number of game birds in Oiegon is to be enjoyed by hunters this .season or be closed by the gmernor depends upon the caution exercised by tin hunters themselves ugainst setting out forest fires. The forest fire Inw which went into effect last February emjiowers the governor to declare u eloped season when upon a showing made by the state forester, the use of firearms by hunters is liable to cause forest tires, "It is not my intention to urge en forcement of this provision unless it becomes necessary," said Forester Elliott today. "Whether any action is taken depends upon hunters them selves. However, just ns oon ns this office receives reports that fires arc bcjiig started through carelessness of hunters, I shall immediately pre sent the facts to the governor and recommend that a closed season he proclaimed. "The governor is heartily in favor of this- plan, and has assured mc that he stands ready to issue such a ptoc Ininntion should conditions war rant it." The only report from forest fires this forenoon wus from C. S. Chap man, secretary of tho Oregon File association' who wired the forester' office that rain had fallen in the vi cinity of Estacadu yesterday fore noon, and that today the fire there was under control.

Look for the RED BOOT LOVE WAVES AS DIVORCE UR E Wnshlnnton Jurist Tries to Make Recalcitrant Husbands Return to Their Lost Love and Bo Forced Io Care for Families. BOTH FIGHTERS CONDITION WASHINGTON. Aug. 3. -"Every little love wave has a meaning till .ils own." This is the latest version of a popular song as advocated by Judge William DeLacy, of the local juvenile court, who also has charge of tr.ung to make recalcitrant luis. luiudi no hack home to their wives and help support them as they should. Thero luWe Jieen many theories advocated for the euro of tho di vorce evil, but it remained for Judge DeLacy to urge the "love wave" method. These waves, he it under stood, luwe no connection with tiny other kind of wne known to science they are e.xtra-uiatertal and highly sensitued. Hy them, according to his honor, a man can win back the lost love of his wife and a wife can force her spouse to care for and lovo her even in the face of numer ous unit even more attractive affin ities. "I'se a little mental suggestion on ,our wife if you want to win her back alter she has ceased to love yon," is the theory of the judge, re cently expounded during tho course of ii non-support case in which the husband claimed that his wife had stopped loving' him. "He kind to her and keep constantly before her mind your desire for her to lovo you. Every time you talk to her think ol this and tell her several times each day that she loves you. Love her so much yourself that she feels the waves of love coming back through the air. These methods will bring you back the love which was once yours." - Dattlliin Nelson and Tommy Gafluoy Cease Tralnlnu -Two Fast Pre liminaries Arranucd t" Precede Bin Event Tomorrow Evenlnij.
