IMEDFORD'S SOCIAL REALM jzT The past week lias been unusually tiiiet, socially, and the disngreoable weather we have had lias been ac countable, to a ureal degree, for the few social functions given. Preparations lor Uirtslmns nro now occupying most of the time, which the ladies usually give to so ciety. Christmas is essentially for chil dren, and each year peoplo are real izing this more and more and dolus: away with the giving of "duty"' gills (which have largely made up the hard work connected with the coming of Christmas), and only re membering those whom they really fare for. The Christmas season had come to be dreaded, for custom de manded so many gifts be sent, which were only given from a sense, of duly, a paying up of debts, and when a gift is sent in (his spirit it is no cift at all. For the thought that prompts the giving is more than the gift. A card from one we care for. n book or, best of all, n letter which is sent because the sender really wishes to send it, menus, more than all the expensive articles which money can buy, for then it is that the real Christinas spirit is found. This is n time when love, friend ship and good-will should be pre dominant in each heart, and every gift should bo given with the true spirit of Christmas, or it is no gift at all. When wc come to realize that Christmas is the tim'e for doing for others .giving, not receiving, nnd of forgetting one's self, the season for bringing joy into the lives of those who live colorless, hard lives then truly will we have found the Chris tian spirit, .nnd that same spirit might be carried through tlio yenr with profit to all, instead of being put awav at tlio end of tho year, to rest undisturbed until tlio coming of another Christmas. A very pretty wedding was sol emnized, at tho home of M and Mr?. Kimo Wodneid.iv oening oh Oriffii) creek, when Miss Glndys Kime was united in marriage to Mr. Harry W. Unrneburg.

Crater Lake National Pnrk, offico of Superintendent, Crater, Lake, Or., Oct. 1."), 11U0. Sir: I have the honor to submit the annual teport on tho conditions existing in Ihe Crater Lake National park from July 1. 11)0!). to October 1.'), 11)10: Itepalrs anil Improvements. On July 1, UIO'J, the date of tho opening of tho tourist nnd working season, it was tound that all tho government buildings iu the pnrk had lHen seriously damaged by the great weight of tho snow of the preceding winter. Since July J, PJOO, tho con dition and the work of the protection and improvement of the paik hae been as follows; Immediately nftor July 1 I pro ceeded to put nil roads, (mils and bridges in the reserve iu the beet poboihlo condition. Lumber and oilier building materials were pur cbtwod mid workmen employed, and the nuceasiiry repairs nnd improve went uHn the buildings und fence luive Iidoh continuously und vigor AUfelv prosecuted to the prosout time. It' is buliovod tltut hereafter the bliildiugti will be uninjured by the severe winter wonthor, as huavior and bettor timbers havo Leon used, the tools have been mado steeper mid the wotkmnnsliin Iims been first clnss in tfvvr.v resoet. The fost of Ihe season's work lo October 1 hns been practically $1100, divided nppmxiniRloly ns fol lows: Kepnirs ud imprnvemom UM' building-, including material., $7011; repair- uin mads, ir.ul-, bridges and feint-, film, punba of necessary tools and implements, .HOI). On October 1, 1000, travel in the pnrk was practically ended for the season. During October there were heavy rains and allow and for a considerable portion of the time the ground was covered with from six inches to a foot of snow. , The preparations for winter wore carried on to the best possible ad vantage, and on November 8 the work of closing was completed and the superintendent left the park for bis winter (iiiartein at Klamath Falls. At that time Ihe snow was two and one-half feet deep at Ihe hcadiitinrlers in tho park and was falling at (he rate of two inches an hour. Tint entire park was dosed lo travel until April, 1010, whou some of the lower lands were accessible, but it was still imsssible to resell the headquarters in the park, as the snow wns still very deep nnd soft. During Mny I succeeded iu ronch iug the huadipiurters und lomaiued t part of the mouth jii the park. On June '2 a work camp was established in the reserve, and during the mouth the roads and trails wore cliwird of the fallen trees sad In that hud Heouiuulnted during the winter.

(Jiini ding the Tail;. The inanv duties und contingen cies coiistiiiitly arising along the lino of the work of pink ranger made il impossible to maintain a sufficient guard over the pnrk with the vory innduqtintu force of one mugo. I hero should be nt least one peruin- nont park ranger und two tompomrv rangers lo remain on ifuty from Jnlv I to September III) of each yenr; and, iu addition.
