Clifford ar rived home Tuesday evening from a unique vacation trip to Crater and Diamond lakes. Going from their ranch east of Roseburg to the Banger's station at ; Rock Creek, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford, with Mr. Osborne, and their packer, left after spending the night at the station, for Diamond Lake by horse-back. Going through the magnificent fastnesses of the Umpqua National forest, past Ran ger's stations at Steamboat, 1111 aee, and Big Camas, the party averaged about 20 miles a day, the minimum proving 13 miles, and the maximum 28, according to the location of camping sites chos en. One night was spent at Steam boat, oneat Illihee, and one at Big Camas, the party arriving at Diamond . Lake the fourth day. Here camp was 1 established for three days. Without the packer, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford and Mr. Os borne went on to , Crater lake where they followed the thousand feet trail down to the water level of the lake. While the climb down takes 20 minutes," the ascent takes an hour. Returning to : Diamond lake, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford fol lowed the Old - Bradley trail in returning to Rock creek. .Numer ous deer were seen, and several bear with all sorts of the smaller animals. Two nights were spent in rattlesnake districts. .Added to the adventure of; following a nar row, precipitate trail . over many perilous places, was the necessity on one occasion of fording the tu multuous North Umpqua, a can yon river of many cataracts and of swift flow. A. further exper ience was the two hour trip through thorn bushes by patient, zig-zag trails, not then escaping many scratches. Notably beauti ful was an ancient, virgin forest of spruce, pine, and fir in which a fire had never been known. All along were delightful ; camping sites with the fishing always good. Three pack-trains, of five mules each, were passed , on difficult mountain trails,! during the Jour ney, all ranger j supplies being brought in in this manner. A particularly beautiful falls, Le- mole, offers untrammeled scenery up the North Umpqua. Though the scenery over the trails is indescribably beautiful; few tourists have ever taken the horseback trip. In fact, the rang er at Rock Creek said that as far as he knew only two women be fore Mrs. Clifford had ever made the picturesque journey, h 1 Before visiting the two scenic lakes, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford en Joyed a motor trip oyer the splen did new Roosevelt highway from Bandon to Port Orford.

Here Is Dr. FrankCrane's Opinion of ace By RAFAEL SAB ATINI Publication of this great romance by "the modern DToznas0 begins in The Oregon Statesman on September 7. "When a man recommends anything he likes to his friends, he is in ' danger of being a nuisance, whether the particular thing is a kind of smok ing tobacco, a necktie, a brand of religion or a new book. At the same time, when one strikes something which pleases him immensely, it does not seem to be quite fair to keep it to himself. f r v; v - ! I read many books, swarms of them, galaxies of them, oodles of then. I am expected to read them, some because other people are reading them, -some because I want to find out something in them,, and some because I like them. The latter, however, are few. To come across a book that takes one by storm, holds him, fascinates him and gives him that rare intoxica tion that meets the inmost passion, is an event. ; .: I ' -. '' V; V I Y -1 , - ;- ""' -Y- " - ." Recently I went upon a long journey and spent many days upon the train and steamboat. Upon this journey I found a I book. It was entitled ' Captain Blood,' by Rafael SabatinL I read it, first languidly, then inter- estedly, and at last I went at it as a drunkard consumes his liquor or a child devours sweets. i , , ; "I passed it on to the other members of my family. Each' read it and each was consumed by the same flame that had consumed me. "I do not hesitate to say that this is the best story J have read since The Count of Monte Cristo.' , ". ' ;".-- " . Y " "I do not judge of it as literature. All I know of it is that it is good, swift, clean English. But it is not of its style that I would speak. .' . v- ),-;.' . :. , .:Y-:1',-Yj . -vV. -v."'' yy: ' , ';. "It has something more than style, something rare, the rarest thin indeed I know of in writing. It has creative imagination. i ; ; . ' ; ' 1- ! , ' ! . -' .:' : "A magazine editor once said to me that he wished he could get hold of a good story every month; something in the best manner of Conan Doyle. I replied to him that his wishes were modest, and that he prob ably failed to realize that out of the billion or so population of the world there were probaby not more! than three or four individuals who could -"" create a story, a really, fresh, vivid, gripping story, Y "In Captain Blood Sabatini has proved that he is one of these few. , "It is a story of bucaneeringdays in the Spanish main, one of the most romantic and adventurous epochs of the world. And the reader is taken into the atmosphere of the time, and is made to realize all its vivid charm, yet skillfully kept from being nauseated by its brutality. "The best thing about it is that it is an imposing tale, a orbnderf ul yarn. The reader is not interested in its descriptions, in its literary values, fn its English, in this or that; he is interested in Captain Blood, and before he gets through he is better acquainted with Captain Blood than he is with his neighbor who lives next door. . . Vhether this is a recently published book or not, I have not taken the pains to inquire. All I know is that I have just read it and I count it one of the great books of the world. ' -It took me out of myself. It opened a door through which I escaped from all the commonnlace thintrs of life.
