Delbert Jones and BlUIe Brlggs. Dr. J. Lawrence HilT On Crater Lake Riflemen May Go to Florida Several of the boys of the local militia are trying hard to get to be expert enough riflemen to win out In the Clackamas tryout, which will de termine the team of riflemen to go from Oregon to attend the National rifle meet at Jacksonville, Florida, which Is to be held from October 15 to 22. Every Sunday many are to be seen at the local rifle range practicing. At present Dobbin Irwin stands high est for niarkmansblp and Adams, Por ter, Hatfield, Diebert, Prescott and Butterfiold are close on his heels. Irwin, Adams, Porter and Hatfield have already received medals for be ing expert riflemen, while Prescott has received one entitling him to the name of sharpshooter. The state preliminary tryout will he held at the Clackamas range Sep tember 9, 10 and 11, where 200 or 300 men will compete to be chosen as one of the team of twelve to be sent from this state, A team of four with one alternate will be sent from here to Clackamas. Further explaining the rifle meet, the following article is given below: "Adjutant-General G. A. White of the Oregon National Guard has de cided that a team of twelve men, two alternates and three team officers, will be sent to the national, matches on the Florida state camp grounds, near Jacksonville, October 15 to 22. The men who will compose the team that will represent the Naval Militia and National Guard of Oregon will be chosen at the state shoot at the Clackamas range September 9, 10 and 11. "Other matches will be held on the same range before the national matches begin. Some of these In clude matches of the Florida State Rifle Association and the National Rifle Association. The national matches draw en tries from all over the United States, and are open to one team each from the United States army infantry, cav alry, the United States navy, United States Military Academy, the United States Naval Academy and the organ ized militias from each state and ter ritory and the District of Columbia. "All universities and colleges In the country are invited to participate and are restricted to one team each. "The teams that will compete will be divided into three classes, accord ing to the standing made in the na tional matches of the 1913 season. The team from the Oregon National Guard won the distinction of taking third place In a field of 46 entries at PLACARDS AT THE TIDINGS FOR SALE Printed sign cards of all kinds in stock We art prepared to supply your needs at all times For Rent Cards Public Stenographer For Sale Cards Board and Room Rooms for Rent No Smoking ON LIMN AND CARDBOARD THE TIDINGS THE HOME OF GOOD PRINTING Oregon has many places of interest places of surpassing beauty and grandeur, places worthy of the song of poets and the dream of artists, but Crater Lake excels them all. This Is the testimony of all who have visit ed It. To tho geologist It affords food for thought, for careful study and research,. and to those who love the wild and weird in nature it is en trancing, bewildering and transcen dantly grand. It allures. It charms. It intoxicates with Its splendors of colors and light and fitful clouds. Grateful, indeed, am I that I availed myself of the opportunity of visiting it a few days ago. I am in a more spiritual mood than ever before, and would not like to have died without beholding It with my bodily eyes. In the words of Zachariah, when he saw the child Jesus, I can truly say: Now lettest thou thy servant depart In peace, for mine eyes have seen the glory." Casts Mystic Sio. What I saw will never fade from my memory. It haunts me. It thrills me even now. It has cast a spell over me which the passing years can never obliterate. It has always appeared strange to me that so few Americans who love to travel, and have the means with which to bring the best of all lands and seas within their grasp, have spent their time and their millions abroad, and paid dearly, not counting the sacrifices and inconveniences they have had to make, for seeing what can be dupli cated and surpassed in any state of the Union. There are beauty spots within reach of us all which surpass anything abroad. "See America First" Is now the slo gan, and it Is to be hoped that it will be heeded by all, as no country under the sun affords more beauty of moun tains, of cascades, of torrent streams and canyons, lakes and rivers, of for ests, where the proud cedars claw their hands, and of landscapes ravish ing and prodigal In their regal and, virgin splendor. Description of Lake. Crater Lake, as stated In the offi cial map Issued by the department of the Interior, Is one of the most at tractive geologic fields in the world, and to those In search of great natur al wonders it Is especially inviting. Lying in the summit of the Cascade range, about midway between Mount Shasta and Mount Hood, It is remark able for Its position and size, but more specially on account of its beau ty, depth, the grandeur of its encir cling cliffs, and Its geologic history Although there are thousands of cra ters In this country, there is but one great caldera, and that contains Cra ter Lake. This map is worthy of careful study. The lake Is nearly circular and be-' tween five and six miles In diameter, and its deepest soundings reach a depth of more than 5,000 feet. It has no outlet nor inlet. It nestles as a jewel of Divine setting in the bosom of a volcanic mountain which erupted during the glacial period. Its alti tude is between 6,000 and 7,000 feet, and is completely girdled by a bold escarpment that ranges from 500 to early 2,500 feet, forming a picture which In beauty and grandeur is rare ly equaled. Should He Tourist Mecca. , Any other state would advertise to the skies its wild, matchless, awful grandeur, its unparalleled castellated rocks and palisades. It should be the mecca of the world for both scientist, tourist and lovers of the grand and indescribable In nature. It has a beauty all Its own, and the light that falls upon It falls not on sea and land. I have been privileged to gaze upon some ot the most wonderiui ana beautiful lakes in all lands, but never privileged, and privilege It was, to behold such marvelous combination J of colors, such weird shapes and the 1913 meeting and consequently will be placed in class A. 'There will be held national indi vidual matches and the national pis tol match. Oregon will have entries in all these three Bhoots." forms, such a panorama of Divine fihlselllngs, such colossal upheavals, such ramifications of laws mysterious, such silences, such lessons of the lit tleness of man, as I' Bat for hours looking Into Its depths and drinking in its beauties. In Presence of God. Because its setting Is not beneath an Italian sky, nor found among the snow-capped mountains of Switzer land, nor among the classic hills of Greece, nor far removed from the haunts of man. Its appalling loveli ni'ss, its matchless beauty Is unher alded and unsung. As in silence I gazed into its waters of deep blue and green and purple and gold and looked upon Its ribbed and fire-torn and storm-swept walls I felt myself, as never before, in the august presence of God, and realized that the ground on which I stood was holy ground. The trip to the lake in Itself is as picturesque and grand as any on this continent, and is a splendid prelude to the greater beauties awaiting the tourist when for the first time the full grandeur of .the lake bursts upon his gaze. The road to the lake, specially af ter leaving Prospect, needs improv ing, and must be quickly and perma nently Improved before the lake can become popular and patronized as it should be. But already improvements in this direction are being made, and in the near future, it is predicted, the roads from Medford to Crater Lake will be among the best of the state. Let us all work for this end. Traffic Increasing. Every year traffic to the lake has Increased and from now on no trip west of the Rockies will be complete without a visit to this gem of the mountains. Considering conditions conditions which can neither be modi fied nor overcome the accommoda tlons at the lake are all that can be desired, and the menu at the hotel as good and plentiful as any to be found at such places, and at charges within the reach of all. The genial landlord of the lodge, Mr. Parkhurst, is most painstaking In his efforts to make a short of long stay of his guests as profitable and entertaining as it is possible to make It, and, as the result, one leaves with a pleasurable feeling, and the regret that more time and study and reflec tion could not have been given to one of God's greatest masterpieces. A Splendid Peroration. No tongue, no matter how Inspired, can fully describe this lake and its weird surroundings. On the canvas of Divine thought no picture is fairei and none more fascinating. Of all His works, Crater Lake will ever stand out as among the grandest and most mysterious of all that bear the stamp of His handiwork. I can not find words better with which to close this article than the splendid peroration In John Temple Graves' description of the Grand Canon of the Colorado, In Cosmopoli tan for September: No pen or tongue has ever done justice to this matchless peroration of the universe.
