Three large pictures of Crater lake and one. of the sand pinnacles in Crater Lake national park Illustrate his article. "I know that to my dying day I shall carry in my mind priceless rec ollections of the high desert and of the higher plateaus and the buttes and the canyons 'and the gorges and the forests and the mountains and the sky and all the rest of the glori ous ensemble of It," he says In speak ing of central Oregon. "But, owing to the limitations of a deficient vo cabulary, I am debarred from shar ing my treasured memories with oth-, ers. They must go and see It for themselves, which, after all. Is the only satisfactory way of enjoying scenery. But in passing I do crave to speak a line or so for that crown Jewel of the lower Cascades, Crater lake. "For Its size, I am quite sure that Crater lake is the most wonderful thing In this world. "It -has the greatest depth of any body of fresh water in America, and without fear of successful contradic tion I dare affirm that It is the most gorgeously beautiful lake on this planet. "You stand on the rim. looking downward a thousand feet or so' to where Crater lake lies, an incompa rable gem cupped in the hand of the creator, .and It seems to you that here natural beauty has attained its superlative expression. But when, following this, you descend the trail which zigzags down the facef of the guardian cliffs and come at length to the shores, you discern a gorgeous ness which even exceeds the splendor of the spectacle as viewed from above. For now your vision includes details which before escaped you me rocK siaes sneering up as steeply almost as perpendicular walls, the effect of the sky against the brim and the effect of the reflected sky in the water itself; curious formations, banking in a long perspective of spires ana pinnacles. Cobb predicts that "one of these days hundreds of thousands of Amer icans win viiit Crater Lake every summer." . That will not come, he says, until there is a railroad, or, bet ter still, an adequate automobile highway into Crater Lake National parK rrom Meaiora, or Bend or Klamath Falls. rpHE perfect food, in which there's no waste: 'Red Rock Cottage Cheese if once you try" it, youH always hoy itl Glen Haven Rest Home Diet and Rest Cure Electricity.

LOCAL' MEN TO CONFER City and Public Service CommiS' 6lon Declare They Will Be Ready on Date Set, The Interstate commerce commis sion, through a representative or representatives yet to be definitely announced, will begin hearing the Portland terminal case in this city Friday, January 14, according to tele graphic Information received from Clyde B. Aitchison of Oregon, one of the commissioners, by the state pub 11c service commission and City At torney LaRoche. While the belief is general that if a commissioner is assigned to near the case, Mr. Aitchison will be sent here from Washington, D. C. for the purpose, it is not as yet certain, as the telegrams thus far received here have not carried this Information. That the terminal case wouldi be expedited, has been the general be lief of all interested parties here, but it was hardly anticipatd that it would be set for a date as early as Janu ar 14. However, those concerned in the preparation of the case said that they would have things in readiness for presentation when the hearing opened and, if necessary, extra help will be assigned to perfect its vari ous features. It was announced at the local offices of the state publio service commission yesterday that a confer ence of all parties to the case would be held this noon at the Chamber of Commerce. The object is to line up the situation, and lay the final plans for gathering data necessary to the proper presentation of the facts. The case Involves the right of the Great Northern and the Spokane, Portland & Seattle roads to the per manent use of the facilities of the Northern Pacific Terminal company. tenant members of which are the Union and Southern Pacific compa nles and the Northern Pacific com pany. The two latter, through their officials, voted recently to oust the others from using the Union station and railroad trackage after midnight tonight, but Intervention by the city and the state commission, by way of an appeal to the interstate commls Eion, brought about a rescinding of the ouster order, after the interstate body had so requested.

Most of the second day of the hear ing was taken up by L. T. Merwin, vice-president and general manager of the company, who was subjected to a severe cross-examination by Rob ert G. Dieck, representing the Port land Association of Building Owners. The question of procuring new pa trons so as to tax the plant to ca pacity and bring In additional rev enues, was brought up by Mr. Dieck. Mr. Merwin contended that even with additional customers, the increased cost of fuel would be such that the concern could not operate at a profit. The main contention of the com pany is that oil and "hog fuel," used at the plant, have advanced so greatly in price that tne concern would be forced to operate at a loss of nearly (200,000 in the coming year at the present rates. , The hearing Is expected to. ba con cluded today.
