CRATER LAKE FISH.
Will G. Steel is preparing to conduct experiments next
year to ascertain whether or not there are deep water fish
in Crater lake. There were no surfac fish until Mr. Steel
stocked the lake with rainbow trout September 1, 1888,
Only thirty-seven trout minnows were alive when the fry
roamed the lake. Nothing was seen of these trout until
Professor Diller surveyed the lake for the government
sonie 12 years later, when he discovered some of the orig
inal stock, grown to over three feet in length, and numerous
descendants. In the last few years, many have been caught
, and the rainbow trout are now quite plentiful and may be
; takeii with the spoon. They do not frequent the deep wa
ter, but loiter in the shallow places near the shore,
j' Another attempt to stock Crater Jake with trout was
,made in loDU, when it was popularly supposed that all ot
the first shipment had perished. A California preacher
took cut-throat trout fry in from the Klamath side..' No
"cut-throats have since been found in the waters of the lake,
and it. is not known whether thev survived.
A third attempt met with failure, on account of the
'deep snows, and the fry, eastern brook trout, were dumped
jinto Union creek, where their descendants have multiplied
to some extent and may be found in the upper Rogue above
.the natural bridge, though not yet plentiful.
Deep water fish have been found in many of the moun
tain lakes. Some years, ago Mr. Steel helped catch some
in Lake Chelan, Washington. These were caught at a
.depth of 1000 feet. They were most repulsive looking,
.two-thirds head and mouth, with a small body. When
brought to the surface their goggle eyes popped out of
their sockets.

Christian Scientists have begun the publication of a
daily newspaper in Boston entitled "The Christian "Sci

.evidently publishes only "news fit to read," minimizing
scandal ami crime. In this way, perhaps, it will fill the

FRUITGROWERS' ASSOC I A TlOX NEEDED.
Complaint is made by fruit buyers that the Rogue Riv
er pacK is not up to its usual standard this year that
the usual care in packing has not been exercised. This
is due primarily to the fact that many famous orchards
have changed hands during the past year and arenow
managed by men new to the business, by those unfamiliar
with fruit packing and shipping. -
Fruit packing should bo a matter of pride with every
grower, who should exercise the utmost cure to send forth
a perfect pack. The diversity in local packs is due to a
ignorance and the lack of a uniform svstem.: ; '
If the' Rogue River valley is to maintain its name as
a producer of fancy fruit, present methods must be chang
ed. A buyer now insists, on opening the, boxes (and in
specting the fruit 'first. With the Hood River label on he
knows what the pack is; for.tl,e label is its guarantee.
Hood River ..possesses a great advantage in havintr
uuitgrowers' association, which com
prises practically all the orchardists of the vallev.' Roue
River has no organization to compare with it. To be sure
we have a fruitgrowers' association, but it buvs WrMit
