“ 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.

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.
