The , Oregonian ol July 20tb prints a bird's eye view of Crater Iiko and the surrounding country and a short account of bow the lake might have been formed, based on Ihe deductions of geologists, who have investigated the formation in the vicinity of the lake. As the lake was formed several years ago it is largely a matter of conjecture, yet by comparison with volcaoic eruptions in modern times and the renults thereof, a very fair idea of tho terrific convulsion of nature, which formed one of the seven greatest eceuio wonders of the United States, may be gained. According to measurements the rim of Crater Luke and Mt. Shasta at the same height, 8,000 feet, are of the Bame diameter, indicating that the moan tain which now holds tlio lake was once a twin of Shasta, although the gentlo slopes of Mazarna at the rim of the hike show that the latter was perhaps not quite so lofty as its southern brother. .Eons ago the subterranean fires melted away the mighty peak until it fell into the cavernous abyss, 4,000 feet deep, which now contains tho sparkling waters of Crater Lake. J. S. Diller, of the U. S. Geology ical Survey, in discussing the queB' tion, says : "The problem at once arieefl, How was tins 'ast mountain, nearly six miles in diameter and possibly 5,000 feet or more in height above the present rim of the lake, re moved, and the stupendous pit now occupied by Crater Lake produced? 11 it was blown out by an explosion. we should find an enormous rim of fragmental material commensurate with the basin: but if it sank bv escape of its molten interior through a lower outlet, the rim would dr umall p.nd composed of imbricated and overlapping sheets of lava and fragmentul material. In fact, the rim is small and composed in large measure of solid lava sheets. It is evidently the peripheral part of the .Mountain's base, and not due to accumulation at the time the basin oiigiuated. Major C. E. Dutton, wbo made a special survey of Crater Lake, compares lb to Kilauen, of Hawaii, whose origin he attribute to the subsidence of the material in molten state, owing; to its escape from some lower levtl. "After the volcanic peak, Mount Maz:ima, bad virtually destroyed itself by the fierce heat of its hidden fires, and been engulfed in the abyss, the volcanic activity contin ued at the bottom of the pit. Wiz ard Island, which rises 845 feiit above the surface near the western border of the lake and forms a picturesque bit of the scenery, is a small volcano compared to the size of its predecessor. Although the freshness of the lava and the ab sence of erosion indicates that the volcano was active in comparatively recent geologic times, vet the pres ence of so large a growth of fir trees proves that the eruption muet have occurred centuries ago." The truth of the theory of an other outlet than the summit of the peak for the molten lava, is borne out by the formation of the sur rounding country. "Evidences of prehistorio lava flows are visible at various points within a few miles of the lake, all of them on a much lower level thau the lake itself, and nowhere on the slopes of Mt. Mazama proper can such evidences be found. The country immediately surrounding the lake is made up principally of pumice dust, probably blown out at the later oru tion above mentioned, but there is no trace of lava flow for many miles from the lake, the nearest 011 the west side being at Union oreek on the Rogue river road. , , - So far no,, explanation has ydt been made of how the waters of the lake accumulated, how they are NO. 31, maintained at about the same level the whole year round, nor why, with no visible outlet, the water is always pure, cool and fresh. The water shed tributary lo. the lake is not sufficient to maintain a, body of water as large as this, even if there were no diminution of the contents other than by evaporation, yet from the base of Mt. Mrizama on all sides, at and below the altitude of the surface of the waters of the lake, gush forth pure, cold springs, forming good-sized streams at their source. The theory is advanced that these streams are the subter ranean outlets of the lake, but if this is so, what keeps the lake up, with its limited water shed? On the other hand, if the lake is fed by subterranean springs and has no outlet, why doesn't the hol fill up and run over? Why, in the first place, did the water in filling up this tremendous hole stop when it bad about' half completed the task and remain stationary at that point? Some body answer these questions, please, we can't. . A Cure for Unolera Infantum. "Last May." says Mrs. Curtis Baker' ol Book wul tor, Ohio, "an Infant child of our neighbor's was suffering from cholera infantum. The doctor had given np all hopes of recovery. I took a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic. Choi era and Diarrhoea Remedy to tbo house tolling them 1 felt sure it would do good u used according-to directions, lu two days' time the child had fully re covered, and is now (nearly two yeara since) a vigorous, neaithy girl. 1 hare recommended this remedy frequently and have never known it to fail In any single instance." For Bale by Cbas. Strang, drugKist. Reduced Railroad Rates. From the Portland Telegram: Cheap rates wtstwiird are to be inaugurated, September 1, by the va.'ious transcontinental railroad terminating in Portland. 1 he Union Pacific has taken the initiative, and the other roads are expected to follow suit. This reduction will muke tbt cost of a ticket $25 from Mipsouri River points to Portland and all parts of the Willamette Valley. To Spokane and all points east of the Cascades the rate is to be $22. 50, T& reduction will bold good through September and Octobor. Tbe fall reduction .is something new, and a big ntiove of immigra tion westward will probably result, as people will travel if the rates are only placed low enough. The fall reduction will permit the people o the Mississippi Valley to spend the winter on the Pacific Coast, away from the blizzards, and at the same time give them a chance to look about end purchase homes while land is yet cheap. It is thought likely that roads leading from Chicago to Missouri River points will aho join in this effort to stimulate travel westward, though nothing definite has been reached in regard to rates east of Chicago, This reduction would make the fare from Chicago $33, and from St. Louis $30. The cheap spring rates have re sulted iu bringing a great many people westward within the past few yeara, and the rapid sealing up of the Northwest may be largely traced to thrse measures. The reducthu saves $15 fo each passenger, the present rate from Missouri River points being $40. A Necessary Precaution. Don't negloot a oold.: li is worse than nn pleasant. It Is dangerous.

A hero is a man who risks or gives his life for family, friends and oountry or for tin poor and op pressed, though Btrnnger. Nathan Hale, hanged as a spy- by the British fn the revolutionary wnr, was a hero, though the method of his death was shameful.

Tracy is an accom plished and successful murderer one of the bloodiest and most brutal that evw lived, but not hero. Killing innocent jpeopla iu cold blood does not constitute heroism; fo be killed for a principle,' a great cause or the protection tf others is heroic. The lumber industry standd fourth among the great manufactur ing occupations of tbe United States, aocording to a recent census bulletin. Tbe steel industry is firs', the textile second and the meat-packing third. The lumber industry employs a capital of $611, 600,000, men to the number of . 283,260, and turns out a yearly product valued ; at $586,800,000. This is ten times tl e value of lum ber product turned out fifty yeanL ago. The new battleship Maine may remove the "boo doo" that formerly attached to the name, when applied to warships. Tbe Cramps have shown a new one so named that ex ceeds its required speed, which was 18 knots per hour, by running 19.95 for 30 minutes, and averaging 18.2 during tbe entire trial trip.
