BOURNE

Li
OF CRATER
IKE-PARK
Little Money Would Make Its
Approach Easy and Then It
. Would Be Scenic Mecca,
Crater Lake National park presents
the most wonderful, moat interesting
. and moat awe Inspiring scenery in tlio
1 world. Thla la the aaaertfcon nadeiy
former ' Senator Jonathan Bourna ?r.,
"' oae-Judgtnent la l4 upon jeraope 1
observation covering world-wide travel.
Mr. Bourna and four members of his
ofIce force returned this morning from
, a 'vacation trip to Crater lake and all
, are Intensely enthusiastic over the
grandeur of the scenery and deeply im
. pfessed with the national Importance of
this "scientific riddle of the World."
1 'Neither words nor picture can con
v vey an approximately correct Impres
alon of the magnificent grandeur of
' thla national park and its central fea
ture,: Crater lake," said Senator Bourna
thjs morning. "I have heard and read
- descriptions of the lake and have seen
colored pictures of It that were the beat
psoduct of the photographic art, but I
deceived myself in thinking they gave
ma a fair conception of the beauty com.
blued with immensity, the continual
change, coupled wltb eternal stability,
presented by this unparalleled product
: o( the Irresistible forces of world form-
lrtg evolution. One must personally
r visit the park and experience the sen
eations its. scenery . produces, 1n order
tr really know the wonderful nature of
this lake and the surrounding region.
' STo accurate Description ros Bible.
"MO figures or description can pos
sibly transmit from en mind to an
. ether the feelings that overwhelm the
soul, a one alts in a small boat on the
placid bosom of the lake where cn one
hand the rocky cliffs tower 8000 feet
: above while on the other the opales
cent, water will let a plumb line fall
nearly 2000 feet below. One must oc
cupy that position or stand upon that
.,. cliff and look down upon the boat
scarcely a speck uDon'the vast exoanaa
of crystal water in order to realize the
height, the broad extent, and nhe lm
i mensity and grandeur of every feature
of this marvelous scene.
.Though Crater lake Is the result of
, a'world catastrophe the sinking of the
entire top of a volcanic mountain be
side which Mount Hood would bear no
comparison, yet the lines and peaks and
, surfaces preseat, in conjunction, such a
; harmonious whole, that none can doubt
that a supreme architect of infinite
- mister mind designed this structure In
minutest detail. To attempt desorip
; tlon seems almost sacrilege." I
fienator Bourne's trip to Crater Lake
-was of special Interest in Beveral re
spects. While in the senate he was
. active in securing appropriations for
the construction -of highways in the
park, and it was his amendment in-
aerted inohe aundry xlvU blll-tha -car.,
tied the appropriation under which
werlc is being done.
The trip was also of special Inter
est because Mr. Bourne made it a va
- cation trip with all the members of
. hi office force as his guests. Th
party was made up of Air. Bourne, Miss
Ida M. Araeson, who has been his sec
retary In Portland for mor thn -n
jeara, Miss Carolyn B. Sperry, who haa
teen hi private secretary in Washlng
,. toa for seven years;. Mrs. .Florence B.
Ramsey, who has been a member of his
erflce force ever since he entered the
aenate, and A. W. Prescott, who has
oeen nls official secretary for over
five years.
, Bourne Ooofl Eeatertainer.
Senator Bourne haa a wide reputa
tion as an entertainer and members of
, the party say that nothing was left
undone on this trip that could add to
tae enjoyment. The party went by
private auto from Medford to the lake
j . mere ana men pro
ceeded to Pelican Bay, where, with
Headquarters at Harrlman Lodge, they
pent four days boating and fishing
an Upper Klamath lake.
Miss Arneson carried off the honors
ike first day of fishing, with five trout
en ner string, the heaviest tipping the
tales at 64 pounds. The second day
gave Miss Sperry the honors with a
- Uout weighing 814 pounds, while both
. f eenator Bourne caught the le
gal lmiit 10 pounds each. The third
ay was a disappointment for all ex
empt Mrs. Ramsey, who landed a trout
tnat pulled the scales down to 12 K
: pounds, the biggest catch made by the
' party. 1 "K

Confers With Sngineera,
At Crater Ike Mr. Bourne conferred
with the government engineers regard
ing the plans for road construction and
was very much pleased witn tne out
look, though disappointed that there 1ms
been difficulty in securing enough labor
to do the work 'for which funds are
available this season.
He was especially pleased with the
plans Superintendent Will G. Hteel lias
in mind for the Improvement of the
park in general. Mr. Bourne la confi
dent that the national Importance of
Crater- Lake as a scenic resort will be
recognised in the future by congress
and that increased appropriations will
be made for roads and other Improve
ments to the end that Americans nnd ,
tourists,- from foreign countries may
have opportunity to enjoy in comfort
a visit tp this marvelous creation of:
nature.
At Klamath Falls, Mr.
fcrred with the engineers
the reclamation project and in the even
ing addressed a public- meeting in the
opera house on (he subject of federal
aid to good roads. lis explained the
plan he has worked out and suggested
for enactment by congress. The audi?
ence manifested keen interest in the sub
Ject. ,
Mr. Bournes party returned from
Klamath Falls to Medford by auto, and
came Into Portland by train this morning.

M'KENZIE ROAD WORK
WILL NOT BE DELAYED
Eugene, Or., Sept. 6. Clyde R. Belts,
supervisor of the Cascade national for--l
eat, has received word from Washington,
D. C, in response to a telegram asking
that the 8(009 forestry money which
Is to be used on the McKenUe road be
made Immediately available, that while
the tnoney haa not yet been formally set
aside, rather than see the work cease
at the proper season, the forestry offi
cials here may go ahead and draw
against that fund In any sum necessary
to keep the work going.
This Is taken to mean that the money
will roon be formally allowed.
Forestry officials say they are co
operating with the eounty court of Lane
In an endeavor to make the road and
the McKenile pass the best one over
the Cascades.
STATE LAW LIBRARIAN
SUES STATE AUDITOR
Olympla, Wash., Sept. 6. State Law
Librarian C. Will Shaffer has started
suit in the superior court for a writ
of mandamus to compel State Auditor
Clausen to issue to him a warrant for
8800. The sum represents Shaffer
claim for indexing the session laws.
Heretofore the money has been paid
without protest.
The auditor holds that the payment
of Mr. Shaffer would be a violation of
the luw, aa the librarian is already on
the payroll of the state. Mr, Shaffer
Is secretary" of the State Bar association.
JACOB FURTH FILES
SUPREME COURT APPEAL
Olympla. Wash., Sept. 6. The appeal
of Jacob Furth, Seattle banker afid cap
italist, from conviction in Skagit county
on the charge of aiding and abetting in
receiving deposits in a bank known, to
be Insolvent, has been filed with the
supreme court. Furth was fined $1000
by the trial court The appeal will be
heard by the state supreme court at the
October term.
operation could be secured in the east.
! He therefore asked the buslnosa club
committees present to support a move-1
merit for securing the $100,000 bonus
from 100 firms, each to agree to pay
$200 upon the completion of each ship.
The home of the fleet would be Port
land and one of the ships would be
named "Portland."
The proposition met with favor. F.
H. Ransom said that if a bonus of
10 per cent would bring $1,000,000 to
Portland it should be done. Similar
expressions were made by M. G. Wln-
etock, JT. C. Rlgga and others present
Big; Socks Important,
"It is Important," said Captain Chll-J
cot,- "that big public docks be built
here, and that the channel over the bar
and to the aea be deepened, but unless
through the activity and interest of
Portland people a Portland controlled
steamship line is operated, nearly all
the work done will be futile. You can
not , expect that foreign capital will
put ships Into a port whose people
manifest no tangible interest in de
velopment of commerce.
"If a merchant or broker in Portland
has the ocean-going facilities requisite
for the delivery of this order he , can
compete for It, and If he can cut the
ocean freight rate in two he is going
to get the business; but if he has not
the means of carrying it within his
reach he is not in business.
Commerce Is Mutual Business.
'Therefore, I contend that the reha
bilitation and expansion of Portland's
commerce must be a mutual business.
Give It all the natural and material
advantages you will, the efforts and
ability of man are still necessary. The
steamship company must build up the
business.
"If Portland people want It and feel
unable to do it themselves they must
pay someone else to do it for them.
"While the ships are' being built the
management must provide lor the cre
ation of selling facilities, one coinci
dent with the other. If there Is any
other way to build up this business I j
confess that I do not know of it."
A committee on organization was ap
pointed. A meeting to pe held in the
Commercial club next Thursday even
ing was ordered. F. H2. Beach was made
chairman; Captain Chllcott, secretary.
A flrat meeting of tha committee on or
ganisation was held In the Commercial
club at noon today.

K. C. Wilfert, who own a small tract
of land there. Samples of the coal

An Acid Test
Charlie Crawford, designer of one of
America's most popular medium priced
automobiles, is visiting Portlund on a
testing tour, the first of the kind to
reach the Pacific northwest. Mr. Craw
ford has driven his test car mor than
oOOO miles over every conceivable kind
of road. When the steepest hills were
encountered, the car was made to do all
kinds of fancy stunts, such as backinu
up and down the hill, to find if i,m,i2
