Last week we mentioned tho organi zation of a Ma.ania club in Medford, but we did not go into details as to who the Mazamas are and what their purpose is. The Mazauiais a mountain coat, but those of that name with which we have to deal at this time aro not goats, but being mountain climbers tliey have taken the mountain climbing goat's name. Tho objects of tho club aro various. Prominent among them, as we understand, are to make famous, tho world over, tho Cascade mountain range, and upon this occasion more particularly one of tho greatest won ders of the world Crater lake to have a summer outing, a good time and seo tho greatest 6cenery the whole coast affords. Il is expected that from 500 to 10(H) people will join the club at points in Washington and Northern Oregon and visit the lake in a body. At the lake, when all have congregated, a few week's session of various amusements and business will be had. These peo ple will require hotel accommodations at th point where they leave the rail road aud team hire to carry their camping outfits and themselves' to the lake. Some time ago mention was made in The Mail of a letter addressed to Postmaster Howard, signed bv W. G. Steel, presldeut of the "Mazamas,"' of Portland, making inquiries regarding tho feasibility of the Mazaraa club visiting Crater Kike next summer. Mr Steel closes his letter by saying that if thought advisable he would come to Medford and look the grounds over. Accordingly Mr. 5tol came to Med ford: he passed right on, however, and stopped at Ashland, where he succeed ed in organizing a Crater lake club. He was met by Mr. Howard, of this city, iu Ashland and by him induced to stop in Medford and talk the matter over with our people. As a result of his visit a elub was organized in this city, aud Mr. Steel seemed well pleased with the outlook. e notice that the Ashland papers in noting the organization of a club m that citv give out that Ashland is "plainlv the Kint of departure for th lake." ' In view of the fact that these iK-opl j will in all probability visit Crater lake the coining iutnmer, few figures re J yarding the liest "point of departure for the lake.' will be of interest. In j the higinning let us quote Mr. Steel's ow language from his report of 'Crater lake, in "Ilesourees of Southern Oregon." published by the Southern ; Oregon State Board of Agriculture, j In locating Crater lake Mr. Steel says. It is situated in the northwest portion of Klamath county. Orrfc-on. twenty-two miles wrM of Kurt Klamath, and altoul eighty miles northpaM ot Medford. which Is the hrst point lo leave the Orvcon Si California railroad. The Jacksonrille and Fort Klamath military roaJ parses the lake within throe miles, and the road to the very walls of it is an exception ally good one for a mountainous country." The abovr statement was made ly Mr. Steel in his reiMvts of the soundtiiKs of the lake made by himself and a numoer ot other during the -uu;airr of lvi. j The distance to ("raler lake frxttu Ashland hy the tead Indlnn road is about liw miles. The d:-tnce by Fori Klamath is as follows: Ah land to Klamath hails, IK miles: Klamath Fall lo Fort Kiamath.ST miles: l-'ort Klamath to Crater lake road. 21 miles: frum there to the lake it is about two miles, maku.c a total of i'Si miles. The exact distance from the court house in Jacksonville to Crater hike IsTS miles, and from Medford il is four miles nearer. Pros peel postortlce is wllhin twenty mile.- of the lake and the entire rountry on this side of the mountain Is settled lo wllhin dfteen miles of the lake. The scenery alon the toate from Medford cuunot be excelled for grandeur. The road follows Kogue river for a lone diklMce. Flounce rock, one of the many wonder OMrture. is passed early in the I rip. Tho faaMttt RoUe river falls. Castle creek caujaa, wllk HsJ woo derous lowering rock. tnlm pM timber belt are all on UiierOote. TwStactlllti s for camping are unsTyfwd. A'tt fti'h Il is hardly probable that M 'm-. JPX: people wishing to vlsll Crater lake would eafo to tra vel the extra distauee from Ashlond to Med ford even should they choose the Itogue river route. There is no reason why Ashland should be a preferable place of departure, even If distance should cut no tisure at all. And. as far as dis tance to the lukc goes. Ashland has no show for argument whatever. It has been suggested that perhaps these tourists would like to gu to the lake one way and return Uie other. This might be their idea and it would perhaps be a good one. but when Medford is given the cold shake altogether and Ashland designated as TH K point of departure, this paper, in Justice to its townspeople, enters a protest.

The fourth annual encamninent of the Old Soldiers and Sailors, at Ash land, last week was indeed one of the best ever held in this end of tho state. Tho old vets all report a good time. Ashland was again chosen as the place for holding the reunion noxtyear. M. S. Damon, of this city, was chosen commander of the reunion associates for tho coming year. Henry Vogen, W. K. Davis and P. Easter composed the battery who made tho old cannon roar. Mrs. W. K. Davis, of Medford. was chosen quartermaster for the coming year. This is the first lime such honors have been bestowed upon a lady. Miss Ethel Gregory, of Ashland, fired the sunset gun on Thursday evening. It is not every young lady who has the ncrvn to shoot a full grown cannon. There were fifty tents at the grounds and they made quite a unique city. The tents were all filled to their fullest fullness and soldiers still kicking for admission. Real Estate Transfers.

Every memlr of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, except those of Northern Light lodge. Fargo. North Dakota, rejolood when they read in the telegrams of the dally papers the following report of the Sovereign Grand Lodge: The Fargo affair, which was one of the most imjiortunt questions of the sessions, came up and was settled. The committee to which the matter was referred, reported that all of the representations of the grand sire on the Fargo Dlltlcully were unhesitatingly endorsed. The committee also considered the report of the speriul comraltloe of this body made last year und fully endorsed all of the report as being clear. Il whs made clear that the items of WM), jssrio and S737.B1 were not used or required for legitimate expense and the relief of destitute j brothers und sisters, and the total amount of I Sll.0.C.at was ordered returned to the lodges In the different slates from which il was received. The above affair had lis origin about two I years ago when the big fire occurred in that : city and the odd Fellows' hall was .burned, to . getber with many Odd Fellows' homes. At I that time Northern Light lodge made an appeal 1 to other lodges of the United Stales for assist ance fr their destitute members. A ready re sponse followed and In a rery short time they had an accumulated sum of money equal to S14.000. Some of this was given lo the destitute brothers, tor whom it was asked, but a greater part of il was spent in the commencement of a large Odd Fellows' temple in that city, which was in direct violation to the sense of the ap peal. Had iMs money been used (or the par pose for which it was asked there would not have been a murmur of complaint, bat the mis appropriation of the funds, placed the order la a position which the Sovereign Grand Lodge could not sustain and be true to the teachings of Odd Fellowship. The Medford lodges Sub ordinate and Rebkah contributed t5 to the fund. A Pleasant Surprise. Last Saturday Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Bonar, the boys, Misses May Earhart, Helen and Jennie Churchman, Messrs. John and George Churchman took their lunch baskets and climbed Rozy Ann. It was a beautiful day, and from the top of the mountain one could ob tain a grand view of the whole sur rounding country. After doing jus tice to the lunch baskets, they started home early in the afternoon. As Mr. and Mrs. Bonar neared their home they saw the doors wid open the doors which thev had locked so securelv a few I hours before. A little nearer and I they saw the house had been taken 1 possession of by their neighbors and j friends, who had dinner all ready for them. The tables fairly groaned with I -rood things. The picknickers did ! justice to a second dinner, and some to even a tnird one. out ttial was not nail so bad as the gentleman carrying half a chicken home in his coat pocket, as one of the good neighbors was known to do. They all spent he afternoon in croquet, etc.. going home in the evening feeling that they each had had a very pleasant day. X. X. X. Medford Business College.
