Government Engineer, Back From
Crater Lake. Says Roads Can Br
Kept Open Throughout the Yeai
Without Great Difficulty.
SCENIC WONDER EVEN MORE
BEAUTIFUL IN MID-WINTER
On Fair Days Lake Has all of Sum
mer Color in its Waters and
With Snowy Cliffs is Wondrous
That tho time will ivenl mill v conu
when Cm tor Luke will lo upon tlu
year around instead of during tin
present four short months 'duriiv
"the season" and that its wild -win-tor
aspect will prove a greater draw
ing card than the wondrous beaut.v
of the siunmcr months is the belief l
lk'iijaniiii F. lleidel, highway engin
eer, offiee of public roads, depart
ment of. agriculture, who returned
Sal unlay evening from a trip to tin
lake. He was aeeo;npnniod by M. I
Kriekson, supersivor of the Cratei
national forest and Harry II. Hick?
of the .Mail Tribune. Mr. lloide
made the trip for the purpose '
sludyiug winter conditions on tin
summit of the Cascades and believe
that u plan to keep winter road
broken to the lake is entirely feasible
"Having viewed winter condition
near Crater Lake at their worst.'
states 'Mr. lleidel, "I nm led to be
lieve that roads can be kept open tli'
year around to Mho lake. With the
erection of necessary buildings o'
stone, such as the one now in tic
course of erection on the rimj tin
trip can bo made comfortably niu
well. Whatever discomforts are ex
perienced will bo more J linn offsc
by the pleasure -of viewing the Ink'
in mid-winter, when in my opinion, i'
is even more beautiful than in tin
sumiiier yionths. The cliffy are .
pure while, covered deep beneatl
huge snow drift, with a few exeep
tional stops where the cliffs up
sheers. On a bright day the wate
of the lake has much of the coin
which is their chief chat in in sum
mer. "I nm firmly convinced that tin
lake will some day attract thousand
of tourists in mid-winter. The road
can so bo constructed to make ii
easy of access. Personally I feel that
the lake, clasp in the icy embrace
of winter, is far superior from a
t-oonic standpoint than its suinine:
aspect."
.Mr. Haldol's party left for the Ink'
two weeks ngo nmkinir their wa.
from Prospect to the lake on snow
shoes. They encountered a blinn1
at the rim making it necessary to hn
over, closely confined within th
cabin found thoro. for three da
when the weather eleured. Manx
views of the lake were obtained.
The party reports that tlw lake vv.i
not frozen over and no floating cuke
of ice wero visible. On the Kl.nnai1
side trappers and other who hn
visited thcjnkii in mid-winter, in for
nier years, state that never haw
sitriis of it freezing oxer been ob
served. Both of llui largo Kluinatb
lake are frozen over and the ice i
coered with n snow from two t'
three feet in depth. Sleighing is ue.i

Guard Snubs Taft.
WASHINGTON', I). C, .Mob. -I.-The
sixty-first congress died today
in diseution and wild disorder, be
queathing to its successois an extra
session called for one month from to
day by an angered, disappointed
president. The republican majority
in the senate, with almost eontempt
ous disregard, ignored Tuft's cherish
ed plan for reciprocity with Canada,
passing it to the mercies of u demo
cratic house.
Amid scenes a convulsive confus
ion, the house democrats, with an
hours filibuster, delivered a sudden
and unexpected death blow to the
presidents beloved permanent tariff
board plan, just alter it had passed
the senate and its passage seemed
nssitrrcd. '
Weeks ago Taft knew that the "old
guard" which passed into history to
day, would not sustain his efforts
for a reduction of custom duties,
with Canada, so had drafted and
ready his proclamation calling an
extra session of congress for April l.
Assured of an extra session, lead
ers in congress tonight arranged for
a series of conferences to plan the
work that is to bo done. Tariff re
vision is first a foremost on the pro
gram and the democratic members on
tho next ways and means connnittei
will probably sit almost continuously
until April. Representative Under
wood, ohairmnn of the committee de
colored that the democrats will im
mediately begin u revision of the
tariff downward.
"1 believe that Taft'-, tariff scheme
will prevail, but it won't be the lir.-t
thing on the calendar," said he.
The committee had already prac
tically completed the scheme for re
vising the wool schedule. It is gen
erally believed that it will be the
first point of attack. Then will fol
low a series of bills, revising schedule
by schedule, and among the firl bill
will be necesililos of life, 'in addi
tion tho democrats must organize
house on tho question of giving Tuft's
tariff bill a new chance, the demo
