Mrs. Allen Writes Story of How Hen
Sister Drove Small Car of the
"Broncho" Type in Ronue With
Great Success.
(MHS. A. C. ALLEN.)
In tho spring of 1005 Mies Mar-
gnrot Keith, sinter of Mrs. A. C. Al

automobile owned In Itoguo rlvor val

It would "balk," but at most times It

oxtent as to bo able to coax tho auto
out and back homo again. And so It
was that Miss Keith becamo tho first
lady to drlvo an nutomobllo in tho
valloy.
Outsldo of tho fact that tho nuto
mobllo was an uncommon sight horo,
It was still moro bo to boo a lady

tho roply was, "I didn't know. I

That quoatlun would havo puzzlod

A WOMAN'S TRIP
TO CRATER LAKE
Story of Mrs. John B.' 01 well's Drive
to the Lake Is Told by One Who
Went Along Mado Record for.
Herself.
(BY "JUDGE.")
Crater Lake is lifted high in the
amis of tho mighty Cnscado rnugo
of mountains. Nature seems to have
placed this pearl of sublimo beauty
amid tho wildest surroundings in
order to ovoko nud call for the
man's most dnrinir snirit. Until Au
gust, 1908, tho automobile, man's lat
est triumph in eliminating timo and
space, had not yet ventured to pene
trato tho wilds which intorveno be
tween tho city of Medford nnd tho
bold summits that look down upon
tho imprisoned waters of tho lake.
It was known nt that timo thnt E. II.
nnrrimnn, tho king figuro in tho rail
road world, was going to como up
from his hunting lodge in Klamath
county and spend n few days at tho
lako and tho committco of tho Med
ford Commoroial club was anxious
to meet him thoro nnd bring him to
Medford.
A party wns organized with five
nutos. Mrs. John I). Olwoll drove
tho ouo in tho lead. Sho covered
tlio distunco of 83 milos to tho lake
in ton nud one-half hours of contin
uous travel. Sho rushed it throuch
Union crook, ovor tho rooks and tho
dashing flood tit a furious speed, for
it scomod a doubtful attempt nt host.
Tho swift water rushed tho bed of

found them n hnlf muo bolow, lodg

tho foot of tho mountains. It wns

NO TIME TO
ENJOY SCENERY
Mrs. Hafer Tells of Her Record-
Making Trip to Crater Lake and
How She Saw Only the Rocks and
Stumps in the Road.
(MRS. EDGAE HAFER.)
From the map I learn that Crater
lako is 85 miles distant from Med
Iford, and at 7 o'clock in tho morn
ing, when driving over Bear creek
bridge, these figures seem to be cor
rect. But by dusk Crater lako is
physically computed to bo farther
I from tho starting point than Halloy's
comet is from tho earth at sunrise
today.
Asido from discovering this slight
error iu mileage, I foil to note any
unusual scencrv en route. In fact,
think tho trip from that point of
view has been much exaggerated. I
saw nothing but crooked, dusty
roads, piles of rock, flocks of
stumps and a continuous streak of
brush, with nn occasional stream to
bar tho way.
Tho last five miles in tho final
nscont to tho rim of tho lako is mado
by steering tho car with ono hand
whilo with tho othor you throw rocks
under tho rear wheols ns tho car ad
vances, inch by inch. Meanwhile, the
right foot is busily engaged foroing
gas into tho tired motors, tho left
foot is kept freo for the oft-nntici-patcd
lenp, should tho car slide
overboard.
Whon just begiuning to think I had
really tackled a strong man's job,
unexpectedly ran my car out upon
n narrow ledgo of rock, and lo I there
beneath mo 1000 feot lay Crntor
lako, of which no pen or brush has,
as yot, faithfully givon to tho world
nn ndequnto description of its sconio
grnndour.
This, you understand, is from the
stnndpoint of n lndy driver.
