No uao to ,tuu or apply a plaator to tho back In this condition, You cannot roach tho cnuso. Excliango tho bad back for n now and Btrongor ono. Follow tho oxnmplo of this Medford cltlzen: ; Mrs. William Oharlcy, Qrapo stroot, Mpdford, 'Or., says: "Tho public statement I gnvo In protoo of Doan's Kldnoy Pills In 1007 still holds good. r occnnlonally tako this romotly now ,A n d I find that It koops my kldnoys In proper working ordor.

Tho oning line. Itoachlng tho other end of tho pool tho trout rouuwod his of- forls to break away. Put his strug gles woro weaker. Sovoral times It seemed as if the liny hook must give but ho was doomed. With u woll- hookod fish nnd a careful angler tliuro can bo but ono result. Finally tired nature gave out and thou, like a true stoelhead, ho was forcod lo civo up. Pit waded out into the stream, tho lauding not was cau tiously dipped in behind and without a quiver (ho eight-pound slcelhead allowed its waiting mushes to en compass his splendid form, Day by day wo worked our way up Hoguo river until at last wo came lo tliu Crater Laku national park, in which is situated beadliftil Crater Lake, which Edward II. llarriinau was wont to class as tliu eighth great wonder of the world. Wo spent tho night ul tliu Araut camp, signed our uiimos in tho big register kept tliuro by Undo Sam and bright and early tho next morning we left for tlio rim of the lake, fivo miles distant. From the cam) tho road ascends, gradually al first, then with sharp rises near tho summit. Finally we toiled up the last rise, and tliuro be fore us, 3500 feet below, lay a sea of sapphire in a rough-hewn setting of burnished gold. It was beauti ful, grandly beautiful far loo vast lo oven attempt to describe. Tho sou shone strong on tliu water, bringing out a wonderful color ef fect. The wntcr seemed a deep in digo blue, blending to a soft tur nuoiso in tho shallows along shore. On all sides tliu precipitous cliffs reach down to tho water, in some cases from h height of 200 feet. Where the wnter is not ruffled liv tliu breeze I ho reflection is so near perfect that it is impossible to tell where laud and water moot. Out over the lake is Wizard island. It appears to bo only a few hundred yards uwiiy, and yet it is ovor two miles from shore. And over every thing is tho most mysterious still ness, an intense silence that fairly grips one. People move about us tuoiign at cliurcu; not a Bound is heard from bird or beast; it is liko a vast temple la which every ono is forbidden to break the solemn bi leuec. After gazing for n whilo tho mdoII of myslery fairly grows on ono, and tho whistling of tho passing brcero in tho tree tops is a most wel como sound. Tliu lake rests in the crater of a monntnin, (ho top of which at some time disappeared, leaving a cauldron 1000 feet deep and six miles in di ameter. Tho water fills this vast cauldron half full. Near the west- orn shoro of tho lake is a cinder cono 815 feet high, known as Wiz ard island, in the top of which ij still another extinct crater, 100 fcot deep and GOO feet in diameter. Near tho shoVo on tho eastern sldo is a huge pile of jagged" rookfc which havo received tho namo of Phantom Kock. With these exceptions, thoro are no islands and tho wntor in tho lako is so clear that ti aix-inch plat tor can bo soon at a dopth of 02 foot. Usually in tho early hours of the morning tho surfneo of tho lako is liko glass, and in its dopth is ro fleeted ovory object that tho sky and earth contain. At night, when this condition prevails and tlio moon is full, tho viow that is roflooted in tho stilled doptliB is beautiful beyond de scription, as woll as awoinspiring There can be soon, ns if in a huge mirror, tho milky way and its myriad ol stars, unknown to a less clear at mosphero, tho constellations which shino with a brightness undreamed of hi other climes, and tho moon which scorns larger and more bril- liunt than aiiywhoro olso, and nil the othor glorios of tho heavous. Tho region ubout tho lako is full of historic nnd legendury interest. In the mysterious depths of tho hike, so tho Indians believe, dwells the great spirit, and until recently no Indian dared scarcely to look upon it for four that tho giatit crawfish, or Loa, would in its wrath reach up its arms even to tlio top of tho cliffs uud drag into the cold dopths of tho lako any who dared to invade its mysterious realm. How tins groat soonio wonder was created, none will ovor know, On account of tho vast amount of pum ice spread for a diqtnuco of 20 milos in all directions about tho baso of the mountain spmo scientists doolnro that hero must have occurred (ho most nwful ovplosion in tho history of tlio Cascado range. That this ex plosion had tho foroo to toar away the inasH of rock and earth that lies in a mountain cono 0000 foot high' and hurl it upon tho surrounding country, leaving in its plaoo a yawn ing oluiHin, is maintained by muuv . i It was midsummer when Vo bognn withered, fragile petals of spring woro still strewn uuon tho ground, but a riper frngrunco filled tho air. Tho fields had lost tholr coat of many colors nnd woro wearing a jacket of brownish yellow. Trees in leafy fullness lured to tho shudowH whoro the streams tinkled with sil very laughter. In tho moadows, red olent with tho porfumo of ripening grasses, barley boards were growing strong, and tho scent of now-mown hay was wafted with tho clovor and alfalfa bloom. In glistening waves, tho wind-billowed fields of tussled grasscB. Tho warble of a virco, tho solitary song of a thrush, tho harsh call of u flicker and the liquid mel ody of a mendow lark mingled with tho drowsy hum of bees and insects into a harmony of tho season. Tho days woro long and full of glory. Myriad blades of grass sparkled and reflected tho beauty of the rising sun, each dowdrop a glis tening jewel of the mom, whilo tho breo7.es passed on moistened feet. A cloudless sky set tho splendor of a Bimunor noon. With lingering af terglow tho cool of evening camo with its violot shadows that glided into tho dnrknoss of night. For three weeks wo fished our wny down the Itogue, then leaving the stronm behind wo made our .way overland to tho "mnrblo halls of Or egon," a series of caverns second only to tho world-famous Mammoth cavo of Kentucky. These caves lie in tlio midst of tho most picturcsciuo mountain scenery imaginable. De scending into a liltlo valloy ovor rugger granite boulders, the forest covered mountains rising on every side, we enmo to Cnvc crcok, which bursts from tho foot of n perpendic ular granite wnll 100 feet in height. Nature hns draped tho whito facade with luxuriant green moss, in bcau tiful contrast to its uncovered por tions. It is liko a grand overture in troducing the theater of wonders thnt follow. Entering a low passage by follow ing tho bed of tho stream, we grad ually ascended over rugged rocks to tho upper levels, lenving tho wnter below. A hundred foot nnd then tho real beauties began to discloso them selves. Tho walls woro of creamy whiteness, while stalactites hung liko icicles from the ceiling; stnlagmites rose from tho floor; fantastic for mation of the same solf-whilcness nbounded on every hnnd. Darkness absolute and impenetrable, was but intensified by our candles ns we moved through the lnrgor chambers. .Silence up .n n vncutim reigned not a ngn of lifo existed in air or wa ter, hvcrv Sttt actlto hnd its .Iron of crystal liquid, yet it novcr seem ed to fall, and tho envos wero in most places roinnrkably dry. Thero nro many different cham bers, but tho "ghost chambor" Is modelled on tho grandest scnlo of all, though so irregulnr in its out lino th'ut dimonsious convoy but lit tle moaning. Emorging into this great salon, ono is startled" by a gigantic shadowy whito outline lost in tho obscurity of tho further oud. Unlike most of tho other rooms, tho "ghost chambor" is hollowed out of brownish rook, nnd tho stalnctito formation only appears in ono placo, whoro it covers tho wall, producing tho spectral offcot that names the room. Tho domo of tho room is fully 100 feet high, whilo tho cham ber is over 200 fcot in longth. Scores of passagos lead from this room in ovory direction, and yet tho fact that but a single ono loads to the outside nir gives ,, Jduil 0f tho intricacy of tho caverns and tho danger in visiting them alouo. So soldom aro tho cavos visited thnt siioum an over-daring oxplorer lose his wny he is certain to perish. Those cavos havo vformou" tho bnsis of a rcmarkablo story written by Jonquin Miller, the "Poet of tho Sierras." Put the tingo of frost now booom ing more nnd more marked in the morning nir, wnrnod 'us that our va cation duys woro at an ond. Tho time was oarly autumn and tho noon day sun was showering tho multi colored hills with gold; a dolioato touch of winter hnd paintod in briU llanco tho fast falling loaves, and yellow and crimson nnd tho dnrk of Jho ovorgroon minglod in tangled i"ul,u uiung nvor uou and lull slopos; tho russet summer brown of tho fields was changing as if by magic into a tondor greon; tho stub blo of grninfiolds was losing itself in long, straight blaok furrows. Tho orchards had lost ,thoir omornld dross, had yioldod (holt- fruit nnd thoir ouco ladon brnnohos strotohod forth in nnkod and neodod rost; tho mountains thnt toworod in tho dis tance on either hnnd woro boginning ".&' B.
