FOUND INTERESTING
E. A. Rhoten and Family Find
Roads Good and Scenery
-S Unsurpassed
K. A. Rhoten and family re
turned last night from a few days'
trip in southern Oregon, visiting
Crater lake, Diamond lake and
other points. In speaking ot the
trip be says:
"We drove to Med ford and then
followed the Mdford-Crater Lake
highway. Crater lake 13 approxi
mately 80 miles from Medford, the
road to Anna Springs which is
about five miles from Crater lake
is good and excellent time can be
made on this.
"The gradeis quite stiff for
many miles but not such as to
bother the autos. excepting that
the elevation . frequently has its
effect on the working of the car
and some carburetors need adjust
ment in making this climb on ac
count of the , altitude. Anna
springs is at the junction, of the
road that leads over the Cascade
mountains with the spur that leads
to Crater lake.
"The road for the five miles
from this point to Crater lake is j
not as fast a road and has some
points on it where it is necessary
to shift gears as Jt is quite steep
and crooked, however it is good
road and easily travelable. I was
told that It was considered "very
eood driving to make the. 80 miles
in three hours.
"The first part of the road can
easily be made at limit speed but
the last part is slower. Snow was
encountered before Anna springs
was reached and there is a con
siderable amount of snow along
the road from that on to the
Crater.
"This snow, however, is in
patches and is solid and almost
ice. It is the result of heavy drifts
from last winter. We camped one
night at Crater Lake and had to
look around in the place allottted
for camping to find a place to
pitch the tent on open ground.
There is a large hotel or "lodge"
as it is called, at Crater lake and
there was a snow bank fully ten
feet deep on the north side of this
hotel last Sunday. The sun was
shining bright and it seemed quite
warm but the snow was not melt
ing very rapidly.
'-C'The grounds near the hotel
fjl camp ground are comparative
Ty level and a sign posted gives
the information that it is 7110
feet above sea level. The lake- is
a body of fresh, water some six
miles in diameter with no known
outlet or inlet. It is self evident
that there must be an outlet un
derground as the water is fresh,
told and clear.
"It is in a crater. The water
level is about one thousand feet
below the level of the land sur
rounding the hotel, but the entire
lake is surrounded by precipitous
cliffs, many of them are hundreds
of feet higher than the level of
the hotel.
"We had planned on driving
north from Crater following the
Sky Line road to Diamond lake
which is about twenty miles dis
tant. The Sky Line road is a road
that is being constructed practic
ally, along the very back bone of
the Cascade mountains. We found
that this road was not open to
travel as there is reported to be
thirty feet of snow over this road
a few" miles north 'from Crater.
"There are several stretches of
this road completed and in time it
will &o doubt be completed from
Hood. River to the California line.
this road is blocked we
round Dy returning DacK toward
Medford nearly twenty-five miles
that there , is another road that
leads into Diamond lake, so we
retraced our tracks after camping
at Crater lake one night, and took
the other branch of the road to
ward Diamond.
"This road is about the worst
or slowest piece of -mountain road
that I was ever over. It is not a
dangerous road with careful driv
ing but it is very hIow. Much of
the way it is one way traffic and
the few cars that we met it was
generally necessary for one or the
other of the cars to back up- to
some passing place that had been
provided and many of these are
not any wider than necessary.
This road leads for a ways up the
upper Rogue river and through
some wonderful bodies of timber.
"It is about 28 miles from the
junction of the Medford-Crater
highway to Diamond lake by this
road. There are many wonderful
natural camping grounds where
some small stream fed by the
snows above cornea racing down.
This road is not brought to any
grade and is evidently simply a
widening of some trail.
"One time when another member
of the family was driving I coun
ted the number of gear shifts and
found that the gears were shifted
forty-six times in thirty minutes
and we had traveled just five
miles.
"Low gear was necessary and it
was not always in pulling that low
was used. It was used frequently
in holding the car down some
steep pitch. There was constant
ly a shifting from high "to second
and then perhaps to low in go
ing both up and down the pitches
and in going around some of the
grades the running board would
scrape the bank en the upper side
while below on the other side
would not have been safe to have
gotten off from the grade.
"Diamond lake is at the very
headwaters of the North I'mpqua
river and is approximately 52y0
feet above sea level. It is a beau
tiful lake set high in the moun
tains and surrounded by lovely
camping grounds.
"It is my understanding that it
is all or practically all government
land surrounding the lake, but the
government has leased certain
lands and there is a hotel, store,
cottages and some other buildings
at one point at the lake. There
are other camping grounds that
are free but no accommodations.
"We camped at one of the con
cessions and paid 50 cents per day
for camping but had certain ac
commodations such as camp
stoves, wood, water, etc. There
were numerous campers, apparent
ly most of them attracted by the
fishing The lake is well stocked
with rainbow trout and it was ap
parently but little effort to secure
the limit of five fish or fifteen
pounds per person per day. They
are a gamey fish and put up a
good fight before being taken.
"There is another way in to
Diamond lake and that is reached
by taking a road that branches
from the road that lead from
Bend to Klamath Falls.
"We returned by that road. It
was a long way around but we
wanted to visit that part any way.
So we left Diamond lake, follow
ing a road in an easterly direction,
down an easy grade until 'we
reached the Bend-Klamath Falls
road and there we turned south
and drove into Klamath Falls and
then over the mountain on a good
road to Ashland and then home
again."

Cover the Field the Easy Way
By Edna Oarfield
Dr. Shanks prefaced his talk by
a tribute to the beauty and attrac
tiveness of our civic center.
"Some time ago." he continued,
"there fell into my hands a book
by Mcintosh McKay, entitled
"Men Whom Jesus Met". It
stirred my imagination, and in
spired the thought of my subject:
Building men to match our moun
tains. "I scarcely know how to make
a comparison between men and
mountains. Mountains are great
things. They tower above the
landscape; their lofty peaks, cov
ered with eternal snow, lift their
heads to the sun. They send out ;
their streams to refresh the val
leys. They form the watersheds'
of our country. They influence
and affect the climate. They have
much to do with making the con
ditions of our country.
"But men are greater than
mountains." Dr. Shanks said,
illustrating the point by quoting
the well known poem, "The Moun
tain and the Squirrel Had a
Quarrel."
"Men have tried almost every
thing in the conquering of nature
of the forests even the firma-
I ment of heaven, if we think of the
i air as the first firmament.;' And
j they have conquered the moun
j tains as well. They have bored
! into the very bowels. of the earth,
j and brought forth the precious
j metals and the springs of water.
' "Men have climbed over the
I highest mountains, conquering
their most forbidding peaks. Men
have tunneled into mountain
depths to find their secret and
J their lore- to learn the story of
their creation and existence. Even
Gibraltar, that great frowning
j rock whicfc stands guard at the
I entrance to the Mediterranean
Sea has been honey-combed by
; the work of man. This colossal
, rock which looms as an embodi
j ment of perpetual existence al
I most of eternity Is found to be
!a storage for guns and ammuni
I tion has come to be a veritable
fortress. Yes. men have con
I quered the mountain.
"Today I direct your attention
to some men whom Jesus made,
i When God is permitted to per
! meate the human heart and soul,
i what can He not do with your
! heart and mine? He can conquer
all things. In-the beginning God
i created the heaven and the earth,
land all that dwells therein. He
! saw that it was good. He made
j man in His own likeness, and
: breathed into his nostrils the
j breath of life, and man became a
' living soul.
"And ever since, men who have
attained to the greatest heights
i who have accomplished the monu
! mental things who have achieved
j the greatest in any chosen line,
j have been those upon whom the
; sunlight of God's spirit has been
' turned whose lives have been
I shaped by Him. and who have
served His purposes according to
His Word."
j Dr. Shanks cited the choosing
1 by Philip of Nathaniel as a dls
j t iple. whom Jesus recognized as
'an outstanding character "An
I Israelite in whom is no guile."
i but who, though living at Cana,
I only ten miles from Nazareth,
' knew little of Him. and who felt
j that no good person or thing could
1 come out of the cantankerous
little village.
Nathaniel was prejudiced, but
i Jesus' spirit overcame it. Like
I wise, when the Lord visited His
home-town, which rejected His
j word, and would have thrown him
; over a preefpice. He reminded
' them that "Awophet is not with
out honor sajflb. in his own coun
try" -r( as true today as then.)
"Thus we find," .the speaker
continued, "that 'sometimes' 1 the
greatest men come, from very un
favorable surroundings. .
Jesus had a thorough understand
ing of Nathaniel, as He has a clear
I vision of all men. whose hearts
j He opens with various keys." He
outlined the call to Matthew, sit
ting at the receipt of customs,
who yielding to the key of Sac-
41

rifice, left all and became a dis
ciple. ,.
""'dod knows the wa.ys of men.'
He opens up to them Ills truth
as they come to Him. y
"There have always been mi
norities 'in every community al
ways will be men who stand out
like mountains. But God uses mi
norities. In the case of Sodom,
He promised to save the city if
but ten righteous men were found
therein. When wickedness
and corruption became so great
that God was to destroy the earth,
only Noah and his small group
were saved, because they were
righteous. So in the case of
Ezekiel, who was sent to put a
mark upon every man who loved
Jehovah. Great men are
used by God for greal purposes."
Dr. Shanks vividly described
the remarkable quarries in the
Orkney Islands a precipice ris
ing from the sea; where, but for
a rope ladder, which had been
left dangling upon the face of
the cliff, the crew of a wrecked
fishing-vessel would have been
lost, but, grasping the rope, they
climbed to safety. "So God lets
down His great ladder to earth to
lift men up," he said, "and uses
those who will be used, in the wel
fare and salvaging of humanity."
Dr. Shanks touched briefly upon
the subject of law enforcement.
He challenged the claim made by
the "wets" that there is rr.ire
liquor consumed today than be
fore the ISth amendment, quot
ing authentic statistics to the con
trary. As compared with pre-Volstead
days, he stressed the fact that dur
ing a month's trip recently, spent
chiefly in Boston. Chicago, Kansas
City, Denver, Salt Lake City, Og
den, and' many smaller cities and
towns, where his entire time was
spent in and about hotels, busi
ness fistablishntents, on the street,
etc., he met with but one man un
der the influence of liquor, who.
falling, and breaking his ankle,
was carried.by Dr. Shanks to his
room, where the man admitted he
was drunk, and scored his oin
foolishness.
"In this day and age," urged
Dr. Shanks, "we need men of con
science and of vision folk who
will stand up for God and righte
ousness men to match our moun
tains." In conclusion, he- read J. G.
Holland's well known poem, "God
Give Us Men."
