' Crater Lake is the onlv national park in Oregon, and the greatest tourist attraction in the. state but to reap the benetit, it must bo made county is energetically striving to, capture, the Crater Lake tourist traffic and virtually annex the lake with a paved highway from the California border a definite program towards this end, having been adopted, and, un less Jackson county acts along the same lines, traffic will come and go via Klamath, instead of in one way and out the other tis it should be. ' .,' V The Crater Lfike highway has been designated as a forest highway that is one 'in which the state and the government contribute equally, the highway being con structed under government supervision. "The Shackleford law' is liberal in that it authorizes expenditures for roads " wholly within or partly within national forests" and un der a liberal construction,' the entire Crater Lake road could be constructed as a forest highway. That it was so contemplated woidd be indicated by the government sur vey of the entire highway, f If the forestry bureau refuses co-operation, the high way to Prospect could possibly be classed as a post-road, and constructed jointly by government and state. Some nan could doubtless be; worked out with the state and federal, authorities' for where there is a Will, there is a way, but immediate action funds will have been appropriated with Jackson county asleep at the cross roads. . - Medford has been so. absorbed in securing the'comple tion of the Pacific highway and Ashland in securing the Green Spring mountain road, that they have, lost sight of the Crater Lake highway the most important tourist as set of all. WHAT IT 'X7 HAT does it mean?" asks the.Portland Oregonian, ; y commenting upon the election of a democratic congressman in a; rock-ribbed republican district upon his pledges of support of a league of nations. Continuing, the Oregonian proceeds to answer its own query as follows: Something quite disconcerting has happened right under the noses of those great republican lights. Senator - 'President Wilson has said the league is not a party asset. - The repub lican party should be grateful to him for his pronouncement. ' It may be also grateful to Mr. Taft for what he Is saying and doing. - It may have occasion also to be grateful to Father Time if he will get the pesky ques tion out of the. way before another presidential campaign rolls around. The. election means that - public sentiment is. over whelming! jr in favor of the league of nations and that the people will not tolerate its rejection ' by politicians and that any political party that seeks to make oppositiou'to it a party issue is committing hara-kiri. ; It is only because the stand-pat leaders in the Senate cannot sense public opinion and because they are not big enough to place human welfare above personal pique and partisan advantage that they announce in advance their opposition to. it and thereby court destruction. - The president's announcement that the "plenary council has positively decided that the league of nations is to bar part of ;.th,e peace ' treaty." will put the issue squarely up to the senate of accepting the league of nations or continuing the war indefinitely.
