MAKIIIG STREIIu ROUT TO KEEP DIAL1011D LAKE OUT OF A NATIONAL PARK Strong Resolutions Passed by Roseburg Chamber Last Night De ploring Reversal of decision of Portland Chamber Fighting to Save Wonder Resort of County. Protesting against the annexation of the Diamond Lake- country to the Crater Lake National Park and de crying the action ot the Portland chamber of commerce in reversing (heir decision on the project, the Roseburg chamber of commerce last night passed strong resolutions which were forwarded today to the arious chambers of commerce thru out the state and to the Oregon sen ators at Washington, D. C. - When the proposition of annexing Diamond Lake fi the Crater Lake park was first suggested and brought before congress the local chamber of commerce immediately took action to block it and passed resolutions set ting forth their objections. The Port land chamber of commerce then noti fied the local chamber that they would conduct an investigation from &' neutral standpoint and report the result in resolutions. This was done and in a short time very strong reso lutions were drafted by the Portland organisation unholdlng the viewpoint of the Roseburg chamber. This strong pressure was brought to bear upon the Washington senators and In view of the public opinion ex pressed It was believed that the mat ter was closed as far as congression al action was concerned. Then came the thunderbolt from a clear sky. The Portland chamber of commerce, after expresung their opinion in the strongest terms, start ed to "back water" and reversed themselves. A new set of resolutions were drafted by them favoring the annexation of the vast area of Dia mond Lake Into a national park and setting forth their reasons in flow ery language which was absolutely contradictory of their former deci Old-Time Slang Flapper Evolves New Jargon DEFINES "FLAPPER." ' ' .. (International News 8ervlce). e NEW YORK, May J. A flap per, according to Cosmo Hamil- ton, famous author, is a girl with a twelvercyllnder engine and a "Jitney" body. She was caught in the unrest that followed the return of the boys from France," Hamilton states, "and is bursting1 with en- thusiasm and vitality that she doesn't know what to do with." - . . Origin of Species. BUTTE CITY, Cal., May J. The term "flapper" originated in Scotland, declares Eugene H. Orubb, noted livestock and agrl- cultural authority, and applied to young girls whose long braids of hair flapped against their backs as they skipped along the streets, By MAX KASE, " International Nowa Service 8taff - Correspondent. NEW YORK, May t.'t must blouse now to meet some tomato and lap some noodle juice and then for an egg harbor." A strange language, you say. But adjust your wave length to the proper distance and hark to the "flapper" in conversation with the "shifter." A "flapper," says Cosmo Hamilton, well-known author, is one with a in ner body and limousine mind. The "shifter" is a new species who flaunts as his banner "Something for noth ing and then very little." Between the two they have evolved a new language unique in Its terse ness and slangy in Its construction. "Blouse" in the "flapper" code Is "to go," or "go." Tomato Is more complex. A young woman shy of brains becomes known In the "flap per" or "shifter" set as a "tomato." "Lap" means to drink. "Noodle Juice" hen finally decoded becomes mere plain, ordinary tea. "Egg harbor"- here the shifters and flappera have excelled themselves turns out to be a free dance. What It All Moans. So that exudation "I must clouse to meet some tomato and lap some noodle Juice and then for an egg har bor" to the Initiated means "I must go meet some girl and drink some tea and then for free dance." Simple- enough. But the sweet, young thing with bobbed hair and skirt to her knees and mannish hat sion. The . Roseburg chamber of com merce was astounded by this action and for that reason last night passed the following resolution: Whereas, heretofore the chamber ot commerce of Portland, Ore., pass ed resolutions protesting against the inclusion of the territory embraced In and adjacent to Diamond Lake within the boundaries of Crater Lake National Park; and Whereas, the aald chamber of com merce of Portland did set forth In said resolutions that said Diamond Lake country is now under the sup ervision of the forestry service, and being under this service is opened to the public) with Ifewer restrictions than it would be under the national park service, and that the forestry service is not restricted by appro priations for any particular project and therefore has more freedom In developing sections of the country most needing development; and . That under the control ot this for estry service the natural resources of this section, such as the cutting of ripe timber, the acqultltlon of power sites, etc., would continue to be open to the public and ' That under the forestry service there are fewer restrictions on the use of this land for recreation pur poses, than under the national park service; and That Diamond Lake is a natural reservoir for storing and regulating the flow of the North .Umpqua river, the power of which river wllT at some" future time be developed to supply electric energy for that part of the state; and That the inclusion of this terri tory In the Crater Lake National Park would preclude this power de- "Kicks In" as at a rakish angle, says: "I gotta date with some slat who, dearie, probably will be a flatwheeler. He'B going to grubstake me to a nose- baggery, but if he s a snugglepup I'll soon find out." - "Now watt" yon exclaim in dis may. "Slat" to the flapper is the male of the species. "Flatwheeler" la her characterization of a "slat" shy of funds who takes his lady friends to free affairs. "Grubstake" Is to treat or invite. . "Nosebaggery" to the "flapper" Is what a restaurant is to the ordinary mind. "Snugglepup" Is a young man who Is fond of petting and petting parties. And so the cryp tic sentence clears to the average hu man. - Old-Time 8lang Passs. Old-time slang gradually is losing ground before the combined vernacu lar onslaught of the "flapper" and "Bhlfter." In the dim past the young woman escorted to her home by some "snugglepup" would draw herself up in haughty grandeur, fix a cold stare on the young man and exclaim: "That's all there is, there ain't no more." And then swirl away from her com pany, leaving him oftimes in a daze at the suddenness and unexpected ness of the occurrence,' allowing him to speculate on the strange vagaries of the female of the species. But In this "flapper age, when some "slat" takes his "tomato" home, she says': "Bank's closed." Which means that no petting will be allowed and he will receive not even one teeny, weeny, single little kiss. Terse enough, but It carries the point. A Flapper's Dictionary.

Whereas, the Bald Portland cham ber of commerce did resolve by reso lution nassed by said body that it protest against the inclusion or .Dia mond Lake and contiguous country in Crater Lake National Park; and Whereas, it has come to the know. ledge of the chamber of commerce of Roseburg that the said chamber of commerce of Portland, Oregon, nas reversed its action so taken, although the facts therein set forth in their resolution still obtain and are irre futable, and has recently passed a Artntm rv resolution favorln the in- elusion of said Diamond Lake terri tory in the Crater, Lake National Park; ' Now, therefore, the chamber of commerce of Roseburg does hereby resolve that it deplores the vacillat ing course of said Portland chamber of commerce and the effect wnlcn said action will have against the best Interest of the people ot the state of Oregon, and that this chamber furth er by resolution hereby emphasizes that to include said Diamond Lake territory in the Crater Lake National Park Is against the beet Interests ot the people of the state of Oregon, and we hereby call upon the citizens of the state to carefully examine said Crater Lake project seeking the In clusion of Diamond Lake and adja cent territory and ask them by prop er means to impress upon their rep resentatives In congress their will in regard to said proposed action.

COIIDEG DELAYS OF COMMISSION Legion Declares LoansforVets Are Wound Up in Red " Tape, APPEAL TO GOV. OLCOTT Direct Resolutions (to Governor Urg ing Him to Make? His Commission Function Without Delays Cases , Are Cited. Appealing to Governor Olcott to use ills power as governor to force the state bonus and loan commission, appointed by him to expedlate their work in allowing loans on property of the veterans and charging that the commission at present Is hindering the actual Intents of the bill as pass ed by the voters, Umpqua Post No. 16 of the American Legion last night adopted vigorous resolutions which were forwarded today to the gover nor. Umpqua Post intends to carry through the fight for veterans, con tending that the voters passed the bonus and loan measure for the bene fit of the ex-service men and that ac tion on appraisements should not be delayed and that unnecessary red tape should be eliminated. The resolution, which follows, will be sent to all of .the legion posts, with the request thai they join in the fight to force the committee to func tion without long delays: Whereas, the legislature of the state of Oregon, at Its 1921 session and the people of the state of Ore gon, at the election held on June 7, 1921, concurred In extending to the veterans of the late World War and to their dependents the aid of the state of Oregon for their industrial rehabilitation, and to that end pro vided tor -MrlfaAiv cash bonus or property loan to such veterans or their dependents, and wnereae, pursuant to the provi sions or said statute, Hon. Ben W. Olcott, governor of the state of Ore gon, appointed certain persons to be members or the World War Veterans State Aid Commission, to administer said aid, and Where as, the administration of eald state aid statute by said com mission has given rise to general dis satisfaction thruout Douglas county Dy reason of the fact that, although said commission has now had several months in which to begin disburse ments of the funds entrusted to 'Its hands and all things to be done by the agents of said commission, to- wlt, Its appraisers and attorneys, and by the veterans have been done, still said commission has not yet made a single loan, to the knowledge of the members of this post, and Whereas, having made application for the state loan and relying on the speedy action of the commission great numbers of veterans have con tracted temporary loans at high rates of Interest, and are now required to pay eald high rate of Interest till said commission at its pleasure shall complete Its plans to disburse said loans, and Whereas, In a number of cases In Douglas county, the commission has refused to grant to loan applicants a loan applied for, up to 75 per cent of the appraised value of the securl tv offered, thus. In effect, appraising the man instead of the security, which is against the spirit as well as tbe letter of the statute and de feating the very object of the act, the Industrial rehabilitation of the veterans, by reducing the amount of aid extended to the very ones who need It most; Now, therefore, be It Resolved, that Umpqua Post num ber 16, of the merlcan Legion of the Department of Oregon, at its regular meeting on the 2nd day of May, 1922, condemn the lacK ot ac tion of the World War Veterans State Aid Commission which Is caus ing great loss to veterans throughout tbe state and condemn the action of the commission in refusing .to loan to any qualified person the full amount of the loan applied for when such loan does not exceed 75 per cent of the appraised value of the security offered, and be it further Resolved that said Post strongly urge the Honorable Ben W. Olcott. governor of this alate, to use his great power to cause said commission to function as It is by law required to do, with surh dispatch and sucn equity as will give to the veterans of the World War of this state what the legislature and the people oi ine sti-.te has with one voice extenneo io them, speedy, industrial rehabilita tion, equally and witnoui iavor.

DIAMOND LAKE SUMMER RESORT CONCESSIONS ARE GRANTED BY FOREST SERVICE George L. Howard of Jacksonville is Given Privilege of Con structing Summer Resort at. Popular Vacation Spot .: Agrees to Spend 115,000 In Three Years. George L. Howard, ot Jacksonville, Oregon, was today granted a permit to construct and maintain a summer resort at Diamond lake, according to an announcement made by Forest Su pervisor Carl B. Neal. In . receiving this concession Mr. Howard agrees to spend $15,000 in three years in con structing this resort, and will start In July of this year to provide facilities for the entertainment of the tourists and campers who may wish to spend a portion of the summer vacation sea son at the popular lake. Under the terms of his 'contract with the forest service Mr. Howard agrees that before July 15 of this year he will place twelve strong rowboata on the-lake, construct a gasoline sta tion and store building and put In a temporary sanitation system. Before July 1 next year he will con struct a main resort building which will contain a dining room, kitchen, etc. He will also install a pressure water system with a sewer system connecting up with the free camp ground to be maintained by tbe for est service. 'The forest service re serves the right to connect up with this sewer for the purpose of provid ing a sanitary system tor the camp grounds, which will be open to the public at all times without charge. The program for 1923 also Includes bath houses, one for men and one for women, each to contain ten dressing rooms. , He also agrees ' to provide bathing suits In a sufficient number to tails care ot the ordinary demand, and also put In ten mors rowboata 'the second year with an adequate boat house and pier. In 1924 the contract calls for six cottages to be 12x20 feet In size and to be adequate for domestic use. The forest service In granting this concession provides that all buildings shall be of a rustio type of architec ture, shall be substantially built, and shall be constructed with view of fu ture expansion ot the resort. There is no question but that tbe Diamond lake resort will become one of the roost popular vacation spots in the west within a few years. It Is situated only a few miles from Crater lnke, a nationally advertised attrac tion, which each year lures thousands of tourists and campers. Diamond lake 1b free from the restrictions of the national park and persons can fish and .hunt without cost and without restriction other than the state laws and the ordinary forest rules. Al though Diamond lake Is not as great a natural wonder as Crater lake, yet it is a very beautiful place and is an Ideal spot for a summer vacation. The lake Itself and nearby streams afford fine fishing, while the hills around abound in deer and wild game. Each year Diamond lake Is becom ing better known and hundreds of peoplo. go there for their outings. If summer cottages are erected there 111 doubtless b many who will spend several weeks at the lake dur ing tbe summer months and the re sort owner would have a paying con cession. Roads into Diamond lake are rapid Robt Hargreaves Dies This Morning According to a message" received here this morning by Roy Hufham me oeatn of Robert E. Hargraves oc curred this morning in Portland at rierces sanitarium. Robert Har graves for many years was a resi dent of this place and was connected with the Margraves Lumber company here. He was among; the first to en list at the beginning of the war and was one of the first to go over seas and one ot the last to return. He spent 22 months in actual service In Europe and his death was caused from tuberculosis which he contract ed from the poisonous gasses with which he came in cctttact. Since Jan uary he had been In a very serious condition at Pierce's Sanitarium. Robert (Bob) E. Margraves was 34 years Of age. He spent several years here and has many friends In this cltv who will be grieved to hear of his death. It Is expected that the funeral services will be held In Port land. Mr. Hargraves Is survived by his mother, who resides In Portland, and seven brothers and sisters, Mrs. C. P. Carrlck of Portland. Miss Jane Hargraves of Portland, Mrs. Helen Watson of Portland. Fred Hargraves of Portland, Arthur Hargraves of Eu gene, William Hargraves of Eugene, and Jack Hargraves of Portland. Several friends of Robert Hargraves from here are expecting to go to Portland to attend the funeral services, ly being built and Improved. At the present time little difficulty is ex perienced in reaching the . spot and with the completion ot the road now being built from Crater lake north. . Diamond lake can be easily and quickly reached. The Tiller-Crater lake cut-off road will put Diamond lake within a day's, travel of Roseburg and this is expect ed to add to the popularity of the re sort. As the (aclHtiea for handling the trade increase the place will doubtless be widely advertised and will become better known. Diamond lake has received consid erable publicity lately through the efforts ot the national park bureau to secure possession of the lake and Its surrounding territory. It was the aim of the park bureau to annex Diamond lake to the Crater lake national park, . and a vigorous campaign to obtain poHsesslon was waged. Opposition on the part of residents, of Douglas County, and stockmen on the east side of the mountains, however, is be lieved to have overcome the element favoring annexation. The lake is a potential power resources and its In- elusion in the national park would prevent development, while the pres ent plan ta apt to speed up develop ment by making its possibilities bet ter known. The extension of the park boundaries would also have with drawn valuable grassing land from use and would have placed Teetrlcttoas on hunters and fishermen visiting ths lake.
