' 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.

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.

"Until the period of industrial un.
