CRATER LAKE
Now and again for more than
twenty years, says the Portland
Oregoi.ian, the beauty, wonder
and sublimity of Crater Lake
have been extolled by enthusias
tic tourists and loyal Oregonians.
Year after year its chief adver
tiser. Mr. W. G. Steel of this
city, has visited it, photographed
it from various points of view
and, at all times of sunny days
and moonlit nights, proclaiming
new beauties and wonders and
urging the construction of a road
that will make it accessible to all
who enjoy m'ountain scenery, and
who would further enjoy it in
combination with one of the
greatest wonders of the world
a lake the depth of which the
plummet has never sounded, the
waters of which are clear as crys
tal and sweet as new-fallen snow
lying in a cup-like basin 6500 feet
above the level of the sea.
All of this and much more has
been told and retold of Crater
Lake. Enthusiastic tourists, rel
atively few in number, have en
dured the hardships incident to
travel over a rough mountain
road, but lately made more pass
able by the enterprise of Medford
citizens, for the real pleasure of
a glimpse of this wonder of Na
ture through the all-encompassing
woods, for a canoe ride oyer
its placid depths and for the sight
of sunrise breaking over its steel
blue waters. Finally, after much
effort on the part of a few, Crater
Lake National Park has been cre
ated, and now a systematized ef
fort is to be made to secure Con
gressional aid for building a per
manent highway whereby the
park can be reached at the mini
mum of labor and expense by all
who wish to view its beauty and
grandeur.
An appropriation of $500,000
wiil be asked for this purpose
and Mr. Steel will be sent to
Washington to labor with Con
gress with that end in view. Sec
retary Fisher, whose eyes have
been opened to the wonders and
needs of the Pacific Northwest
by his recent trip to and through
it, is expected to favor an appro
priation to beautify Crater Lake
Park; the War Department has
made provision for a survey of
the park and has recommended
the highway plan now proposed,
and with the personal effort that
Mr. Steel will make it is hoped
that the appropriation to be
asked will be granted without
delay.
A step of state-wide value has
just been taken at the Oregon
Agricultural College, where a di
vision of extension has been ad
ded to the organization, the object
being to extend the work of the
institution into every section of
Oregon. Instruction in farming
will be carried into the homes so
that people on the farms may
carry on such studies as they
wish. Farmers' Institutes will
be extended and the scope of the
work of the college will be much
enlarged. One of the most im
portant things contemplated by
the new work will be a campaign
to have agricultural instruction
carried on in the rural and city
schools of the state.
ticular friend of Tommy McCor
mack's brought in several of the
long eared pests for wild cat
food last week and as a result
the only zoological garden in
Crook county is in need of new
material. O.it of a total of three
beautiful, glossy skinned tabbies
in the zoo, the rabbits were fatal
to two.
Last week we said, if you love
your wife take her to the min
strel show at Sanford's hall,
November 17. This was all right
but a little one-sided. It should
have read, whether you love
your wife or not take her to the
show.
SCHOOL APPORTIONMENT
FOR CROOK COUNTY
Only Three Towns In County Exceed
Madras In Amount Received From
State for School Purposes
A farmer by the name of Har
vey living on Agency Plains said
a couple of weeks ago that the
late fall rains had conditioned
the soil for a bumper crop next
year. Apply the old saying, that
if a little is good a whole lot is
better, to his prediction and then
let some mathematician step for
ward and estimate what the crop
will be after the warm, drench
ing rain that visited this district
yesterday.
It has just been discovered that
jack rabbits are a safe and sure
exterminator of wild cats. A par-

The new division of extension
just organized by the regents of
the Oregon Agricultural College
will not confine its efforts entire
ly to the rural districts. In the
larger cities of the state a cam
paign will be started to interest
the school children in irrowini?
vegetables and flowers, raising
fruit and keeping chickens. It is
planned to convert many vacant
lots into gardens under the care
of the children, who will have
the advice of the college experts
in their work.

Underwood
Standard
Typewriter
POPULARITY
When the U NDERWOOD
made its advent in the
market fourteen years ago,
as the original front stroke
visible writing typewriter,
it met with instant popular
favor because it marked a
distinct advance in the art
df typewriter construction.
Typewriters representing
in design and construction
the best achievements of
the mechanical world up to
that time have been dis
tanced by the UNDER
WOOD in the markets of
the world until today its
sales largely exceed those
of any other make of
machine. AIn the effort to
offset the universal popu
larity and growth of the
UNDERWOOD machine,
all makers of "blind" writ
ing machines have changed
their models to visible
writers in the last few years
and visible writing has
become the current talking
point of its critics of
yesterday.
The UNDERWOODis
lesigned on correct me
:hanical principles, is
nade of the best material
las fewer parts in its type
oar mechanism than any
Dther machine, and excels
in point of du r ability,
speed, accuracy, and ease
of operation.
