MYSTIC SPELL OF
LAKE MS.
YEI FASCINATES
Dr. J. Lawrence Hill
Oregon has many places of in
terest, places of surpassing beauty
and grandeur, plnces worthy of the
song of poets and tlio dream of ar
tlBtR, hut Crater Lake excels thorn all.
This Is the testimony of all who have
Visited It. To the geologist it af
fords food for thought, for careful
ntudy and research, and tho thoso
who love the wild and weird In na
ture It Is entrancing, bewildering and
Iransrondently grand. It allures. It
charms. It Intoxicates with Its
splendors of colors and light and fit
ful clouds. Grateful, Indeed, am I
Hint I availed myself of the oppor
tunity of visiting It a few days ngo.
I am In n more spiritual mood than
over before, nnd would not? liked to
have died without beholding It with
ny bodily eyes. In tho words of
Zcrhnrlali, whnn he saw tho child
Jesus, I can truly say: "Now U'ttsrt
thou thy servant depart In peace for
initio eyes have seen the glory."
Cast .Mystic Spell
What I saw will never fado from
my memory. It hounts me. It
thrills me even now. It has cast a
npell over me which tho passing yearn
can never obliterate. It tins always
appeared strango to me that so few
.Americans who love to travel, and
hove tho means with which to bring
the best of all lands and seas within
their graBp, have spent their time nnd
their millions abroad, nnd paid dear
ly, not counting the sacrifices and In
conveniences they havo had to mnke,
for seeing what can bo duplicated
nnd surpassed In any stalo of the
Union. There are beauty spots
within reach of us all which surpass
anything abroad.
"See America First," is now tho
flognn, nnd It is to bo hoped that it
will be heeded by nil, as no country
under the sun ntfords more beauty of
mountains, of cascades, of torrent
streams nnd canons, lakes and rivers
of forests, where the proud cednrs
clap their hands nnd of landscapes
ravishing nnd prodigal. In their regnl
nnd virgin splendor.
l)Tciltlon of I-ilio
Crnter Lake, as stated In tho of
ficial map Issued by the department
of the Interior, Is one of the most at
tractive geologic fields In tho world,
nn1 to thoso In search of grent nat
ural wonders it Is especially Inviting.
Lying In the summit of the Cascade
range, about mldwny between Mount
Shasta nnd Mount Hood ll Is remnrk
Jifilo for Its position nnd size, but
more especially 01 account of Its
beauty, depth, the grandeur of its
encircling cliffs, nnd Its geologic his
tory. Although there are thousands
of craters In this country, there is
lint one grent caldera, and that con
tain Crater Lake. This mail l worthy
of careful Btndy.
The luko Is nearly circular and be
tween flvo and six miles In diameter,
nnd Its deepest soundings reaches a
depth of more than r.000 feet. It
lias no outlet nuor Inlet, It nestles
ns a Jewel of Divine setting In the
lioBom of a volcanic mountain which
erupted during tho glacial period. Its
nltlude Is beween C000 and 7000
feet, nnd Is completely girdled by a
bold escarpment that raugos from 500
to nearly 2500 feet, forming n pic
ture which In beauty and grandeur Is
nrerly equaled.
Should Ho TomUt Mecca
Any other.stnte would ndvertlso to
tho skies Its wild, mntehleRS, awful
grandeur, Its unparalleled castellated
rocks and palisades, it should bo
the nieccn of the world for both
scientist, tourist nnd lovers nf the
grand nnd Indescrlbablo In nature.
It has u beauty all Us own, and lite
light that falls upon It fulls not on
Boa nnd land.
I have been privileged to gaze upon
some of tho most wonderful und
beautiful lakes In all lands, but never
privileged, and prlvllego It was, to
behold such marvelous combination
of colors, such weird shapes and
forms, such a panorama of Divlno
chlselllngs, such colossal upheavals,
such ramifications of laws myster
ious, such silences, such lessons of
the littleness of man, as I sat for
hours looking Into its depths and
drinking In Its beauty.
In 1'ivftonee of fIol
Ilecause its setting is not beneath
nn Itallrn sky, nor found among the
snow capped mountains of Switzer
land, nor among the classic hills of
Oreece nor far removed from the
haunts of man, Its appalling lovell
ness, its matchless beauty is unher
nlded and unsung. As In silence I
gazed Into Its waters of deep blue
und green and purple and gold and
looked upon Its rlbbod and fire torn
and storm swept walls I felt myself,
ns nowr before, In the august pres
ence of God, and realized that the
ground on whlok I stood wag holy
ground The trip to the lake in It
pelf It. as picturesque, and grand as
an on this oontlnont, and is a
splendid prelude to the greater beau-

The road to tho luko, especially af

nnd the regret that morn time and

A Splendid Peroration
No tongue, no matter how Inspired
can fully describe this lake and Its
weird surroundings. On the canvas
of Divine thought no picture is fairer
and none more fascinating. Of all
Ills works Crater Lake will over
stand out as among the grandest and
most mysterious of all that bear tho
stamp of His handiwork.
I cannot find words better with
which to close this article than the
splendid pororatlou In John Temple,

Canon of Colorado, In Cosmopolitan

''No pon or tongue has ever dono
