past tho ustonlshud Pill, who found I nnturo behind us. Tho hills bookon

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

mountains thnt toworod in tho dis
