State Press Comment Upon Bureau's Error In Locating Crater Lake a An error of the Department of Agriculture In placing Crater Lake in California, hus brought caustic editorial comment from a number I of upatatc papers, three being as i follows: I CIIATKU LAKK STILL IX OIUX.O.N ' The alert Oregon Journal dis covered lust week thai the United I State department of agriculture ! had been broadcasting the misln I formation that Crater Luko Is In California, Quite an uproar has resulted. Tho 1'ortlirnd chamber of commerce and tho Oregon chamber of conrtnerc und the state highway commission and the bureau of public roads all find themselves heated up, to say noth ing of business organizations of Medford and Klamath Kalis. And In an effort to put the department of agriculture In Its place and bring confusion upon Its army of place-holders tho state chamber has sent to it this statement: It is appulllng that men In , j'OUr department In positions of sufficient Importance to be responsible for the descriptive urllcles on the Pacific high way , . . should so lack suftl-. dent Information of Pacific count geography as to pl&co Crater Lake In California rather than In Oregon. If Cruter laku were a more or lens obscure scenic attraction It would be exeusuble, but when so eminent nn authority as the late E. II, Harrlman designated this beautiful luko na the "eighth wonder of the world' and your own depart ment and other governmental departments have spent hun dreds of thousands of dollars In making It known lo people from all over the world, It Booms absolutely Inexcusable that such blunders should he made. Thousands of school children all over tho United Ktates know tho locution of Crater I-ake, It wan quite proper thus to cor rect an egregious error und doubt less next time the department of agriculture sends ouL an article on the Pacific highway somebody will be detailed first to look at the map so as to tell of Crater Luko us and where tl Is, For the life of us though wo ean't get very much excited over tho blunder that has been made. Kecause, after ull, Crater Lako Is where It Is and not where Ignor amuses put It erroneously. The grout value that the lake Iiun, aside from tho pleasure that It gives lo Oregonlans who visit It, Is as an attraction fur tourists from otherwheres. And tourists cannot hwo It unluss they come to Oregon. Kven If they start for Cruter Jake thinking It Is In California they cannot get there without finding out that it Is in Oregon, Ho where in do wo lose anything through tho error? Cruter Luko us one of the world's wonders is In u national park and belongs to (he nation. Hut Crater Luka geographically Is In Oregon and belongs to Oregon. And as the stale chumber of com merce points out In Its protest, "Thousands of school children all over tho United Htnles know the locution or Crater Lake." Ho do many thousands of other lutein, gent persons. Ho why worry? tUugouo Iteglttier.) liAl.l.y.lioo l'.ws Thot Callfurnlti biilly.hoo pays 1h provcil by tho fact that the United Hiatus Department of ArtI culture has followed tho lead of tho' Cioldcn Hluto and placed Ore gon's greatest scenic astct, Crater Luko. in t'allfui-nhi. This bus hrnuKht forth a protest from Orc- uon state chamber of ciHiimomi lo Hecrotary Janllnu which reads In part: It is uppallitiH- that men In your department In positions of sufficient Importance tii-.be responsible for the desciipllvo nrtlclea on the rnclflu hlKh way . . . should so lack suf ficient Information uf I'sclflo coast gcoKTupliy na to pluco Crater Uiko In California, rather than In Oi-eg-on. It socms absolutely inexcusable that such blunders hoiild bo made. There Is nothing surprising uhout this for tho Ignoranco of litirenucruts is . monumeniiil. nnd California hus merely taken ad vantage of tho lethargy of Oregon In falling to properly advertise her scenic nssots to appropriate them and give tboni tho advertising do served, to her own profit. If our Oregon has ever adver tised Crater l.ako. we have never seen It. What II 1 1 lo publicity It receives Is from the Southern Pa cific und from the necessarily lim ited effort of Medford.

How we ever camo to harbor the notion that Crater lako was In Orexon territory Is hard to say. Of course, trustworthy and pains taking surveyors said Crater lake was In Oregon; famous cartograph ers, carefully cheeking the reports of the astute surveyors, accepted the statements at their face value, nnd recorded Crater I-ake on the mails of Oregon, fleorge If. Hlmes, curator of the Historical society, who knows the geography of Ore gon as well as Justice Tom lie Hrlde knows Its political history, has frequently declared that Crater Luke Is in this state, nnd Ills testi mony has been - overwhelmingly corroborated by nil the trail-makers, pathfinders, road builders, his torians, sportsmen, trappers, ang lers, and tourists In the northwest. But It Beems that all these persons, whose opinions, views, and beliefs we heretofore regarded as nuthori- lauvc, wore merely victims of a. strange, widespread hallucination, and were seeing simply as a beau tiful charming mirage In Oregon the Crater Lako that is actually In California, It would havo been very hard to make u believe that so many so ber and Intelligent persons could have been so strangely and stupidly misled ns lo the whereabouts of Crater Lake had not tho highly Intelligent United states depart ment of agriculture suggested they were all sufferers from strabismus. Of course, the knowledgeable Unit ed Ktates department of agricul ture makes' no direct reference to the eye trouble of those from whom we Imbibed the belief that Crater iJike was a part of our beautiful state: the United titates depart ment of agriculture hus simply said In a widely-circulated description of some of our highways: Among the most Interesting polnls along the highway Is Crater Lake, located In Cali fornia, Just south of the Ore gon border. The lake Is with in a few hours' drive from Itoute 9!l (Pacific highway) ovccllic Craier ljikc hlghwuy. That Is short, pithy, and con vincing. It calls no one any hurd names: makes no insinuations about poor eyesight: makes no suggestions as to the quality of the liquor consumed by those who thought they saw Crater Luke In Oregon. Tho United Wales de partment of ugiiculturo Just pushes hhIiIo tho notes of the surveyors, Hie evidence of history, the old and new maps, and all the other facts connected with Crater Lake, and wllh a whirr- of the typewriter whisks tlio magnificent body of wuler from lis age-old crater in Oregon, to a nice new location in lovely California. We suppose that Crater Luke national park, lo which the wonderfully opalescent waters of Crater Lake have long been a glorious mirror, nnd which hus for so inuny years been part of the Oregon domain, has also been "lift ed" by the Unlled States depart ment of agriculture and bunded to California. Tho Portland chamber of com merce, which takes a very deep interest in everything that concerns the health and prosperity of Ore gon, will suggest to the United States department of agriculture that It chock up on the evidence that loads it to believe that Crater lake Is in California, and that If It finds It has. been In error In bestowing on California what la In dubitably ours, It will at onco re store the properly to the rightful owner. It Is but a short time ago that the chamber of commerce dis covered u w-ell known publishing house In the very act of moving Crater Lake to California, and suc ceeding in preventing the rape. The chamber was also Instrumental In exposing and nipping In Hie bud. the dnrlng plot that was hatched to steal Mullnoniah Falls nnd be stow them on California. It Is rather odd that all the robberies practiced against Oregon In the way o'f lifting our scenic treasures have profited California. The Jpes tator does not seek to allege that California Is n Fagln that Is touch ing publishing houses.

We arrived at Yokohama on Schedule, and have been some- drnl l'lveland the nu.rn.lnR ot the 25th, and were busy the first hour clearing our baggage through the customs and passing medical In speetiun. We hud a great deal of fun thrashing our way through the surging horde of Asiatics on our way to the government customs, und making different ones we had to converse with understand our particular brand of conversation. In the hustle und bustle of getting our baggage through. I left my overcoat on a tublo where tho lug gage was Inspected, find was hulf way on our way to Tokio. thirty tulles away, before I discovered that I had left It. I Immediately stopped the bus we were riding In and managed through the aid of a missionary, to cut eh a tuxl back to Yokohama. The driver look mo to the wrong custom ho use at the opposite side of the city. 1 surrounded myself with about two hundred Japs und finally made some one of them understand that I was In thu wrong place. At an) rate, I managed to get to the right place, and found my coat, and the next Job was to get to Tokyo, as ull the bUHKes had left.. I took a rickshaw and rode about three miles to the electric railroad sta tion, und arrived almost as soor as the others at the Imperial Hotel, Tokyo. Hotel I Beautiful This hotel Is rated aa ono of thf finest in the world, and by gom people It is claimed'' to be th unest. due to Iti unusual architec ture and Oriental design. Jt It not only beautiful, but the wrvtce is excellent. The structure Is only! four story, but It covers such a large space as to be most unusual.! I should judge It to be ubout three j hundred feet wide and five hun dred feet long. Aftnr getting eomforiably st tfd In our new quarters, wo start ed to sec as much of tho city us posNlble, visiting the parks, the main shopping centers, and look ing at tho thousands of interesting displays and active street life that 1b so Intense In all the Oriental cities. ImprrHsiniiH of Yokohama The first impression of my' visit to Yokohama and Tokyo was lhe rnble devastating influence of the great curthquake of three years ugo. It seems that publish ed reports of this disaster failed to convey to one's mind tho ghastly results of this earth disturbance;. Miles upon miles of streets u re bo Ing rebuilt completely, and out of this terrible wreckage, u new Tokyo will emerge. Where for merly the streets were from twenty-five to forty feet wide, these streets arc now being widened to eighty and one hundred feet. Very crude methods are used In their struggle of reconstruction, and Jn very fmv Instances havo we seen any modern machinery being used. Labor Is so cheap uud plentiful that modern methods seem un necessary. You see thousands of men draw ing heavy carts filled with mud and dirt from the excavations, where It is shoveled by hafld, and In many Instances it Is carried away in baskets borne on the shoulders of the laborers. da pan esc Are Tollers To see Yokohama and Tokyo tiuring tuts period of reconstruc Hon Is to jcomprehend the willing-I IS KEPI INDOORS BY A BAD COLD LONDON', Jan. 12 (,D Klne Oeorge today enjoyed another remful day but hla aubjccls were Kilevcd lo learn that hla quocn, who Iiuh borno with quiet couragu the couiiiIcmh burdena Imposed by the lonit Illness of her husband, wan auffcrliiK from a cold.

Tho next bulletin will bo liued .Monday morning.'' II Is un extremely mro occur rence for queen Mary to become evon slightly Indisposed.

Kvcry one la working and the masses arc very poor. The common laborer does bestial work, yoking himself to a cart, pulling heavy loads like a horse, works from seven to jeven, twenty minutes to eat his rice at noon, making eleven hours and forty minutes of soul killing I labor, for which he gets ono yen i and fifty tcn, amounting to the , huge sum of seventy-two cents in cur money.
