The farmer who buy9 either the New Deere Ga.n or
.
now gets absolutely the finest, most servicable implement of
its kind ever produced. Before buying such a tool you'll want
to know how it's built, how it works and what it will do for
you. A9 to quality of the material and workmanship the name
Deere on it is a sufficient guarantee for you on those points.
For ease of operation and light draft the New Deere will be a
happy surprise to you. The many new features which enable
the operator to do work with it he never could do before, with
a sulky or gang plow, are marvels of simplicity and effective
ness. It takes a whole book and a lot of illustrations to
explain them all, and we know you will want to read the book.

Mount Mazama Was Possibly
Highest Mountain in the
United States
The highest mountain in Ore
gon is Mount Hood, 11,225 feet
above sea level. Compared with
Mount Whitney, to the south in
California, and Mount Rainier,
to the north in Washington, each
rising well above 14,000 feet,
Mount Hood does not appear as a
skyscraper. However, according
to the geologists of the United
States Geological Survey and
other authorities, Oregon had at
one time, probably before the
dawn of life upon the earth, a
great volcano which towered as
far above Mount Hood as does
Mount Rainier, possibly even
several thousand feet higher.
This was the great Mount Ma
zama. But thousands of years
ago this mountain disappeared
into the bowels of the earth and
all that is left today is the huge
rim around Crater Lake.
Crater Lake is the caldera of
this extinct and collapsed volcano
and is nearly six miles in diam
eter. The inside walls of the rim

of the ancient mountain are in
places nearly 4.000 feet high and
almost perpendicular. The lake
itself is in places 2,000 feet deep
and parts of the wall rise above
its waters another 2,000 feet. A
restoration of the mountain in
fancy, using as a basis the angles
of the lower slopes, which still
remain, shows that the apex
could not have been far from
15,000 feet in height, so that
Mount Mazama was one of the
most lofty and majestic peaks in
the United States.

Survey at Washington has a fine
