ASHLAXD. Jn. 8. Some stock In
' tho' local park domain either coni
ino or preferred might provo to
1 he a good inveHtmeiu, in view of re
turns imulu the past season fiimn
ciully, us well a otherwise. At a re
cent meeting of the park board,
Frank .Jordan was elected president;
Mrs. C. H. Vaupo.1, vice-president,
and W. :H. McXatr. secretary-treasurer,
and tho latter's annual report,
recently uubiuitted, contains some in-
tercstlng factH and figures regarding
" the municipal playground for tho past
year, Us activities, also income and
outgo. The . balance on hand, left
over from 1921, added to the income
during 1 !!!!, represents a total of
$ 10, J Expenditures amounted
to $8,831.94, leaving $ 1430.f.li' to be
applied towards working capital for
the year 11)23. Representing a regis
tration of nearly 5000 machines', the
income, from tho auto camp proper
, was $8247.50. Figuring on a basis of
census returns as applied to heads of
families, and allowing threo persons
to each habitat, it is only reasonable
to assume that each tourist car which
registered at the camp grounds dur-
, ing the season, contained at least
three individuals, consequently 15,000
people visited this locality through
the camp ground agency- ulone, not
to mention hundreds of others who
did not avail themselves of this privi
lege. Expense incident to. labor and
materials as applying exclusively to
the .upkeep of the grounds, was
$2251. leaving the operation of the
auto camp center netting a clear
profit of $y:5.S4. In the face of this
'7 encouraging financial exhibit, nobody
now doubts the wisdom and expe
dience of the charge of fifty cents per
day levied against each car which
availed itself of tho privileges of the
camp. As before stated, expenses in
cident to the operation of the park
area in general for the year 1922,
were $8831.94, and $5,515.33 of this
amount was for payroll, practically
all of which was locally retained. 'It
is interesting, in tho way of recapi
tulation to note the exteht of park
revenues and sources from which
they are obtained. Taxes, as the
major factor, yielded $4,409.82;
Chamber of Commerce, $19; rent, 9;
concession $1 .1.55; gas connectons,
$10; wood $3.50; city for carotaking,
$300; sale of drinking cups $704.31.
The cup item as regards sales, might
Inok like profiteering, inasmuch as
the original cost was but $110. 2S, but
the retailing feature was in behalf of
the general welfare, and the end jus
tified th& means.; Moreover, cup sales
at a generous profit, will help along
in -meeting a possible deficit along
other channels.
The park board consists of, five
' members, including Mrs. C. II, Vau
pel, Mrs. K. V. "Wagner. W. IT. Mc-
uir.Trank. Jordan and Amos, NinirwJ
xger,-tho official personnel being given
elsewhere In this article. Harris- Dean
is superintendent of tho area fn gene
ral, and the past year J., H. Doran
had charge of the auto camp grounds, I
both being efficient workers, alert in!
furthering every measure adding to
the beautiful appearance of our ex-
tensive, playground domain, which is,
the pride, not only of our own town,;
! but also , of adjacent ones. Doran's
' talents come within the versatile clas
i sification. being n preacher, author
and lecturer. Moreover he is a physi
! cal as well as mental worker, and
i might be termed a "mixer" In the
sense of extending greetings and the
glad hand to the stranger in our
1 midst, qunlificatons so necessary in
filling u position to which he certainly
Is ,to "the manner born."
ftcautiful as the park is, and com
plete In its appointments, the board,
nevertheless, have in mind certain
changes which will add to its accom
modations and convenience, one of
which contemplates reducing the
area of the elk reserve, in order to
install . another, driveway so that
motorists can approach nearer the
picnic grounds, the reservation noted
being far greater in extent than Is
n coded,,.

Among the guests at the Sunnyside
New Year's day for dinner was Nick
Young, one of our Jackson county
native sons who cultivates a fine farm
on the Hutte Creel? bottom and is one
of our prosperous bachelor citizens:
Ralph Cowgill, the chief engineer on
the Irrigation canal'from Dig Hutte to
this section; E. Summer, the engineer
who has charge of the construction
work on tho unit already allotted to
Win. Von der Hellen; Mr. and Mrs. I
A. H. Soukup, Mt. and Mrs, lien Har
nett, G. Garnett, Mrs. L, Bernard, all
of Medford; W. C. Clements, our
postmaster as well as our telephone
owner and manager, and wife, and
later in the day Mr. and Mrs. George
W. Austin and wife of Medford and
Brs. M. L. Pruitt who lives on and
owns one of the fine farms- on Little
liutte creek, and among the business
callers were Shorty Allen who a' feiv'
years ago , purchased , a, .twplve acre
tract of timber and brusli land off of
the Von der Hellen tract of Antelope
creek bottom land when it was simply
a jungle, and he now tells me that he
has it all cleared, plowed and sowed
to winter wheat. A year or so ago he'
told me that he was working for Mr.
Von der Hellen his regular eight hours

Henry Trusty and Wesley Miller of
Elk creek were among tho guests Mon
day night. Mr. Trusty was bringing
out a bunch (sixty-four head) of cattle,
taking them down to tho neighborhood
of Talont to feed and Mr. Miller was
helping him. C. H. Natwlck alsi spent
Monday night with us. Mr. Natwick Is
one of our contractors and was here
looking after his interests in that lino.
Among the business callers last
'lue3day were Jeff Conover, one of the
pioneers of Rogue River valley, W. H.
Crandall, one of our hustling farmers,
orchardistB and general wideawak citi
zens who called at the Sunnyside to
try to dispose of somo of the products
of his farm. He seems to bo consider
ably disappointed over the way the
new road has been laid out and opened
from the Dodge-French bridge to Inter
sect the Crater Lake highway, as there
Is nothing to be seen on the entire
route excelit chaparcll brush and
desert land; not a house or fence to
bo seen, but by making the change a
very bad hill is nvoklod. Wort Pool
and Alex Anderson who is living on
the Charley Terrill place near Drowns
boro, was among the business callers
and he reports that he has a band of
lliOO sheep and that he has not had to
feed any so far, and that on the second
day of January, 1H23 and that the
grass was good, fresh and green. What
will the readers of the Medford Mall
Trlbuno In Idaho or Montana or
even the stuto of Washington think of
hearing a band of twelve hundred huad
of Bheep living and loing well on the
range the first of the year, but so it is
this year In southern Oregon. .
Among the callers at the Sunnyside
Tuesday for dinner wero Mrs. C H.
(Nick) Caster of Hutte Falls who came

As my health is not as good as it
was years ago and I am not able to
get out and hustle tor news, I, in my
last letter inserted a chapter of my
experiences as a circuit rider the first
year I was in Oregon and as the oblig
ing editor gracjpusly admitted it to the
columns of the Mail Tribune I will veil
ture to trespass on bis good nature
again.
. When I closed my story I was locat
ed for the night with a family by the
name of Caughman and there I met my
co-laborer, and if it will not be consid
ered out of place will remark that Mr.
and Mrs. 'Oaughnian had two very at
tractive daughters, about sixteen, and
'eighteen years of age, and Mr. Smith
. not unlike the rest or the young
nittt of his age, did not object to good
company. Well, after spending the
night with the family when we got up
for breakfast we found that it was
raining in torrents and I had an np.
pointment to preach at the Liberty
school house on the north side of Long
Tom creek, a stream about as largo as
Dutte creek, and the prospect was
good for another freshet. We decided
that we would try to meet the engage
nient as Mr. Smith was familiar with
the country. The reader will bear in
mind that the flood of a week before
had washed the fences and bridges
away ult w "eard that the Taylor
bridge was still so it could be crossed,
so wo started, but we soon found that

bridge was concerned, but there was
yet an ugly little tream to cross and
when we reached it found the bridge
was gone, but Mr. Smith knew the
country and hi suggested that we" go

The last thirty miles from oi-ants

River and it wan with great difficulty
that I restrained my wife from climb
ing ojit and making camp at paeh

scenery Is a classic in Itself, mid moro

"Wo had a wonderful night's rest
at tho Medford hotel, nnd on the
morning of tho eighth, after getting
our instructions as to bow to roncii
Crater Lake from Hio Crater' Lake
National Park company's office in
the hotel, we started on that tr!j of
all trips, over tho Crater Lake high
way to the lake, which is aliout
eighty-five miles from Medford. For
fifty miles the drive took us along
tho same Rogue river as of the nii;ht
before, and agaJn the feeling of living
forever among its beautiful cnartnn,
came over us.
"At noon we stopped for lunch tit

mountain resort wo visited, and I
must take time to say that the meal
served by Mr. and Mrs. Jim Orieves,
who operate this resort, will linger in
our memories for days, and re-enter
our memories whenever the thought
of food comes to our minds. At one

real mountain spring water we
started on tho Inst thirty-five miles
of our trip for that day. to thn world's
most beautiful wonder. Crater lane
