NO SPECIAL SESSION.
TUB PRESIDENT is said to have decided not to call a special
session of congress even though the administration shipping bill
was dei'eutcd. Mr. Harding is said to believe that the country wants a
rest from congressional agitation. Business particularly, he is repre
sented as believing, will welcome the nine months between the close ol
the session March 4 and the time for regular convention in Decem
ber as a period when it may proceed under full force without concern
as to what congress may or may not do by way of legislation.
We believe that Mr. Harding has read the signs aright and that
the nation will welcome a breathing spell fi-oiii the uncertainties of
congressional direction. The president Ts. represented as saying that
he does not propose any further railroad action during tho congres
sional recess, but will let the nation alone to direct its energies to
commerce and.trade along all lines. . , , -
Many measures were defeated in congress;' but the country can
manage to struggle along without them." Congress needs a rest, and
so does the countrv. It is to be hoped that President llarijing will not
be persuaded to change this policy.

FOR ICE FREEZiNG
Peto Ord, the forest runger of Cra
ter National park who is in- the city
on a brief vacation Train the lake
whoro the snow la 30 feet und three
Inches deep at the rim, brings back
tho news that the experiment this
winter at the lodge by the Crater
Uilio compuny, which holds the park
concession, of manufacturing Its own
ice at the lodge In winter has not been
a success so far and probably will not
be, because the temperature has been
too mild at tho lake,
The coldest temperature at the lake
so far this winter was four degrees
abovo, notwithstanding the popular
impression that that high elevation is
a very cold place in winter. Anna
Spring camp, fivo miles lower down in
the park from the lake always lias a
colder temperature by several degrees
Whon it was 19 degrees below zero at
Fort Klamath, 20 miles distant, this
winter's cold snap It was only four
degrees aliove at the lake.
Last fall the Crater Lake company
planned to froeaie Its own ice by natur
al means for summer consumption at
the lodgo and have Jack Hemstreet,
Its caretaHer at the lodge in the win
ter tako care of this work of freezing
water there and storing tho ice re
sulting therefrom In the lodge .Ice
house, assisted by Peter Ord, the park
forest ranger. The plan was to. fill
largo tin cans with water at night and
next day empty the frozon -contents
of the cans and storeit;" ' ! ,'.''
However, tho plan has not worked
with much success because of the
comparative mildness of tho tompera-
Jure this winter, and so far It is said
that only about $00 or 500 pounds of
Ice lias been so manufactured . and
stored.
During February alone there were
18 clear days in succession at the
lake. While the present depth of the
snow at the rim is 10 feet and three
inches, two feet more than last year
at this time,, a few weeks ago the
snow depth there was 12M- feet.
