JUDGE CASEY IS CERTAIN THAI STATE WILL Leading Attorney of State Offers Suggestions Regarding Ad vertising of Crater Lake. WAS ATTORNEY IN THE FAMOUS TILLAMOOK CASE Believes That Supreme Court Will Uphold Crater Lake Road Appropriation. Crater Luke has found another en thusiastic booster in the person of Hon. diaries H Carey of Portland, probubly one of the foremost attor neys of the state, who recently won the sweeping victory for Porter Brothers in tho central Oregon rail road controversy. Mr. Carey reach od Medford from Crater Lake Mon day afternoon in company with J. P. Porter nnd immediately left for Port- nnd. ' Judge Carey has closely followed the Crater Lake road case and is convinced that the state will win. its case in the supreme court mid' that the appropriation will be made. He wns the attorney for Maxwell in the case of Maxwell vs. Tillamook, n case which has been cited at great length by the attorneys in the Crater Lake case, nnd his knowledge of condi tions surrounding that case nnd the fnet hat he has followed tho case closely leads him to believe that the case will be won by the stato and the appropriation made. "Crater Lake is a wonderful, won derful bit of nature," states the jndgo, "and when I first stood upon its brink I realized for the first time that half had not as yet been told regarding it. It is bound to become the great scenic attraction of the wast as soon as it is mode more ac cessible. I intend to return next yenr with my family. "Southern Oregon should take stops to do more advertising of the lake in a 'practical manner. At the oHMiing of Hit season I visited the Southern Pacific offices in Portland endeavoring to find how I could get to the lake, whnt it would cost after I had left the railrond, where I could stop nnd sundry other questions of u like nature. But it proved of no avail, for there was no'.hing I could loam regarding it. T then gave up my trip for this yenson until the chance presented i'self for mo to visit the hike with Mr Porter. I shnll cer tainly roeonimcnl it to my friends. "Tho registov nt the camp tolls a peculiar storv. Tho great majority ein Oregon, whereas the register of visitors are from places in soutli slnmld contain the nanies of people from all parts of the globe. I look ed buck over it nnd tho number of visitors from eastern cities are com paratively few. This should be changed, mid probably will be in the I'lnro, us more extensive advertising is done. "Some body of men, such ns your far-famed Commercial club, should take steps lo issue a small pamphlet telling of stopping places, of autos for hire, and in fact nil data that pertains to tho trip; and the result should ho of great. value." , FIR DE WOOD VILLE MEL Loss is in Neighborhood of $10,000,r Partly Covered by Insurance 'v Forest Fire Works Havoc A forest fire has completely des troyed the sawmill owned by the Woodville Milling company, situated about four miles from Woodville.
