DIRT! “ No wonder the Indians o f Oregon wove beautiful and fantastic legends about Crater Lake, for it is wonderful enough to awake the imagination of even a savage’ s mind ” In this spirit Archbishop Christie returns to Port and from a trip through central Oregon and the Klamath country says the Portland Journal. Called by the missionary duties of his church the archbishop has been making an extended tour of the iuteriorof Ore gon. On the trip of the Crater Lake country he went by automobile from Medford and returns charmed with the wonderful scenery and the great possi bilities of the vast empire through which he journeyed. , ‘I am very sorry, said the archbishop “ that the $100,000 provided by the leg islature for the constructed of the Cra ter Lake road has been held up in the courts. In my mind the completion of of that road would be a most powerful advertiement for the state. Crater Lake is one o f the great wonders o f nature. The surrounding country is wonderful and sublime. I was only there for a few hours in the early morning, dut the short glimpse I had with the sun just rising across the lake is something I will never forget. “ Tha roads in the national park are good, and considering the roughness of the country, the roads leading to the lake are good, but if a road were con structed from Medford it would be a great thing for Oregon.” Old Newspaperman Dead. S alem , Or. Aug. 21—After a linger ing illness lasting over several weeks, S. A. Clarke, historian, poet and pio neer editor, died at the Salem hospital last night, aged 82 years. He was born in Cuba in 1827, and received his edu cation in New York and came around the Horn to California, thence on to Oregon in 1859. He resided in the then vil age of Portland for a short time and came to Salem where he took up a do nation land claim south of the city and later took up his residence in Salem, where ho has maintained his home ever since. He was married to Miss Harriet Buckingham, in Portland in 1862. Four children were born, three of whom, Mrs. N. H. Looney, matron of the State Reform School, William J. Clarke, editor of the Gervais Star, and Mrs. Sarah Dyer, of this city, survive. At various periods of his life he was edi torial writer of several newspapers, among them being the Oregonian, the Record and the Statesman. He was an active worker in state politics, but nev er held any office of prominence. For several years he was Librarian to Con gress, in Washington, D. C., and was forced to resign on account o f his ad vanced age and enfeebled condition. More New Buildings. N O 19 Mr. Hutchason Returns from New York i I. C. Robnett is preparing to erect a modern dwelling this fall at the comer of Second and Ash. The house will be strictly modern in every respect and will contain seven rooms besides closet, bath, pantry, storage, etc. The lo cation is sightly and the improvement will be of general value to the town. I. F. Williams, owner of the property in which the postoffice is located, has decided to move the present building to the back of the lot temporarily while a new brick structure is to be erected in to be orected in its place. The brick will be but one story high at present but it will be built with a view to build ing it higher should the occasion arise to demand the additional room. The building will be designed as a conven ient home for the postoffice and Mr. Williams expects that by building a brick the office can be retained in that location indefinitely. School Has Twelve Grades. Persons interested in the Central Point public schools should pay no at tention to the erronious statement that has lately been published to the effect that our school has but eight grades.
