CRATER LAKE TO
DROWN US All
Government Ennjnccrs Figure Thai
In 4000 Years Waters of Lake
Will Overflow Crater Rising at
Rate of Three Inches a Year.
(Portland Toloprnm.)
AJiont 2:30 p. m., 400(1 years from
now Mcdford nnd nil OrpRon will be
immersed in a doltipe that will make
the liHnrio sprinkle of Noah's time
look like a morning dew.
The cro eminent engineers hav
the tiling nil figured out. Crater
lake will bo the doom and desl mo
tion of ns all. That innocent and
transeendently heantifnl body of
water, said to he the highest fresh
water lake in the world, has never in
spired awe uive by its grout grnn-
icur. J i lias never sirncK terror 10
the hearts of the thousands of tour
ists who Iiavo viewed its sublimit
as a patential engine of human de
struction. But its silent charms now
turn out to be but theinaudiblo yo
deling of a wieked siren, for mil
lions of souls will he plunged to
watery graves beneath its limpid
waters in just 400 decades- if the
government engineers read the sign
nright.
Thoc of us who expect to be hero
at Hint distant day and hour might
ns well take out n little more life in
surance nnd begin Fettling our af
fairs. Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad
idea to learn how to swim, row a
boat and ptu on life preservers, so
we can pnavigate to loftier altitude
like Mount Hood, Rainier or othci
shimmering peaks where there would
he a haven of refuge for nil.
The tervlblc calamit prognosti
cated is based ujoii a strange phe
nomenon observed by the surveying
party sent out by Major Morrow to
plat trails and highways through the
Crater Lake National reserve.
By soundings nnd other methods
known only to such wise men, they
have found that the surface of Cra
ter lake is rising three inches every
year, nnd that, this has been going
on for an intermediate period. The
rim of the huge bowl in which the
lake nestles is G000 feet Move the
sea level1 and the waters are now
within 1000 feet of the edo of the
rim. So it becomes only a matter
of applied science to show that at
rate of three inches a year it would
take just 4000 years for the waters
to overflow the rim and convert all
lower altitudes of the state into one
vast inland sea from hundreds to
thousands of feet deep.
Some suggestions have been made
ns to how to avoid such a fearful
toll of life should the lake be allowed
to continue its nwful course. One i&
to erect huge heliostuts, or geodetic
heliotropes, in a series about the rim
of the lake. These huge gallse.s
would serve to concentrate the ra3's
of the sun to such an extent that
the" evaporation would exceed the rise
of the water which is oupposed to
bo duo to the subterranean springs
which feed the lake. Another
scheme is to obtain a special permit
from the government to attach sev
eral thousunds siphons to the lake
and drain off several billion cubic
feet of water every year for use :n
generating power or for irrigating
purposes. This might be a ilttle dif
ficult owing to the conservation jmjI
icy of the government, but it io be
lieved a special dispensation could be
secured if it be shown that the lives
of all theinhnbitants )in the state
nro to bo snuffed out 4000 yean,
hence.
Ono great scientific genius says
that it would be an easy mutter to
erect a number of monster artificial
ice "pl'ints at the brink of the lake
which could bo used to freeze the
surface of the Jnko down a hundred
feet or so. This would act as a
watertight lid on the lake, nnd the
springs supplying the lake would be
forced to seek soma subterranean
outlet through the sides of the moun
tains which hem in the lake at the
present time.
Ah thero aro still 40 centuries
lacking a few hours, before the real
crisis approaches, there arc apt to
develop a number of other cqunlly
efficacious ways of avoiding a gen
oral cataclysm.
Try your hand at it, hoys.

TO GUARD EORESIS
If They Start Fires Game Season
May Be .Closed by Governor El
liott Says If Many Complaints Arc
Sent In He Will Urge West to Act.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 3. Whether the
open season for hunting deer nnd a
number of game birds in Oiegon is to
be enjoyed by hunters this .season
or be closed by the gmernor depends
upon the caution exercised by tin
hunters themselves ugainst setting
out forest fires. The forest fire Inw
which went into effect last February
emjiowers the governor to declare u
eloped season when upon a showing
made by the state forester, the use
of firearms by hunters is liable to
cause forest tires,
"It is not my intention to urge en
forcement of this provision unless it
becomes necessary," said Forester
Elliott today. "Whether any action
is taken depends upon hunters them
selves. However, just ns oon ns this
office receives reports that fires arc
bcjiig started through carelessness
of hunters, I shall immediately pre
sent the facts to the governor and
recommend that a closed season he
proclaimed.
"The governor is heartily in favor
of this- plan, and has assured mc that
he stands ready to issue such a ptoc
Ininntion should conditions war
rant it."
The only report from forest fires
this forenoon wus from C. S. Chap
man, secretary of tho Oregon File
association' who wired the forester'
office that rain had fallen in the vi
cinity of Estacadu yesterday fore
noon, and that today the fire there
was under control.

Their Lost Love and Bo Forced Io
Care for Families.
BOTH FIGHTERS
CONDITION
WASHINGTON. Aug. 3. -"Every
little love wave has a meaning till .ils
own." This is the latest version of
a popular song as advocated by
Judge William DeLacy, of the local
juvenile court, who also has charge
of tr.ung to make recalcitrant luis.
luiudi no hack home to their wives
and help support them as they
should.
Thero luWe Jieen many theories
advocated for the euro of tho di
vorce evil, but it remained for Judge
DeLacy to urge the "love wave"
method. These waves, he it under
stood, luwe no connection with tiny
other kind of wne known to science
they are e.xtra-uiatertal and highly
sensitued. Hy them, according to
his honor, a man can win back the
lost love of his wife and a wife can
force her spouse to care for and
lovo her even in the face of numer
ous unit even more attractive affin
ities. "I'se a little mental suggestion on
,our wife if you want to win her
back alter she has ceased to love
yon," is the theory of the judge, re
cently expounded during tho course
of ii non-support case in which the
husband claimed that his wife had
stopped loving' him. "He kind to her
and keep constantly before her mind
your desire for her to lovo you.
Every time you talk to her think ol
this and tell her several times each
day that she loves you. Love her so
much yourself that she feels the
waves of love coming back through
the air. These methods will bring
you back the love which was once
yours." -
