On leaving Ashland the traveler reaches the land of the Rogue River valley, iuto Medford. The valley Is now producing about one half million bushels of pears and the same production of apples. Beautiful Crater Itke From Medford an interesting side trip might be taken to Crater lake. Crater lake is a body of wa ter of unbelleveable blue occupy ing the crater of an extinct volca no. Today one small cone emerges a few hundred feet from the sur face. The lake is 2000 feet deep In places and its surface Is ove 100 0 feet below the rim. It has no inlet oi. any sort, nor is there any stream running out of it: but the water is supposed to escape by underground channels and to re appear later as springs. This wonderful old crater, with an elevation of nearly 8')00 feet, is so near the top of the world that there is nothing with which to compare it. It is 25 miles around the crater and our n thousand feet down to the surface of the lake. The gray lava rim is remarkably sculptured. The water is wonderfully blue, a loveiy tour quoise and brilliant green along the edges, and in tho deep parts, seen from above, extremely dark blue. After sundown the lake is nearly black and is weird and awe inspiring. They say the Indians were afiaid of the lake and would not go near. The contrast on a aunny day between the unreal, fairylike rim across the lake and the fantastic sculptures at one's ieet and, in the lake between, the myriad gradations from faintest turijuof .e to deepest Prussian blue, dwells long in the memory. A roughing trip on the upper stretches of the Rogue river would tie interest In cr t,, th.. f;.v..r j- ......... ... i.htt II Will ll.-ll.-I- i man or to the lover of ruefreii mountain streams. The river dis appears entirely in one place for about 200 feet. A few mibs north of .Medford. Table rock rises several hundred feet from the floor of Rogue river valley and is a reminder nf thi, seejn from the railroad. tSiReslde. en jTenmiie lake Is one of Coos or, some of the most noted and beau-4 B'a's. popular summer resorts. country. Here tne various pastimes may dp tifuH landmarks In the j Among these are Cow Horn moun j tain. 7.f66 feet; Diamond peak. jfc.TfC feet; .Maideni peak. 7.750 I feet; and in the north end of the torest, the famous Three Sisters. ; These three well-known peaks rise j majestically to a height of more than 10,000 feet, and are resplen dent the year round in jeweled settings or perpetual snow. The snow which falls in the higher re gions each winter gradually melts during the summer and feeds the many scenic waterfalls and cas cades from which the forest de rives its name. Most noted among these are perhaps Salt Creek falls, with its perpendicular drop of over -2 7. feet, and McKenzie falls, both of which are visited annually by many tourists. I'nivcrsvty tnO Coi:.-ge Numerous side trips of interest and pleasure might be taken such as the trip up the McKenzie rivet from IJugeiie. or. particularly for fishermen, the trip up the north fork of the Willamette on the Oakridge line. At Eugene there is also located the University of Ore gon. From Albany the trip up the Santiam river brings successful result-! to th fiiiermaii or a trip to Vaqulna bay and the beach at Newport is an interesting one for the summer visitor. As we g() to Vaouina we pass thrrtu:;h the city of Corvallis where is locnted the Oreton Agricultural college, an educational center second only to West Point from a military, and Ames. Iowa, from an agricultural standpoint.
