Tho pnat yenr In Crater Lake
nntlonal park has been very fav
orably In every respect, travel hav
ing been the heaviest in Its his
tory, showing an increase of IS. 5
per cent over 1928.
Two main entrance roads, tho
i?st and south, were kept in ex
cellent condition throughout the
nlire season and were by far the
most popular routes of trqvel.
Among the many distinguished
guests who were entertained at
the resort during the year were:
Sacretary Wilbur and party; Dir
ector Albright; President and Mrs.
W. V. Campbell, of the linlversity
of California; Dr. and Mrs. John
C. Merrlam, president of Carnegii
Institute.
rino Beetle Combated
"Work to check the invasion of
the mountain pine beetle in the
park area was carried on more
extensively In 1929. The fight
against the- beetle was started on
May 17 and was continued until
July 8. At that time It was nec
essary to stop because the beetles
had emerged from the Infested
trees. A total of 23.239 treos were
treated. Tho cost for the work
toti led 1 17.499.60. or 75 cents for
each tree. This amount included
the landscaping of the highways
nd recreational areas by sawmii!
plumps even with the ground, and I
disposing of brush.
During the summer a force of
14 rangers was employed by the (
jark. Of this number four we:e
employed by the educational ll
Jvision which conducted nature '
'study courses. This feature1 proved j
one of the. most Interesting phases
of entertainment for campers nnd
visitors. J
The Community llotiso was
transformed into a part time mus
eum during 1929. It wag made
the headquarters of the educa
tional division, t.nd nature class
excursions were conducted from
there. An average of 178 people
nttended lectures at the Commun
ity House each night through the
months of July and August.
Coiisirmlinii 1'ndertakcn
From The Dalles - California
highway through the east entrance
of the park, approximately five
miles of rood was reconstructed
and surfaced with crushed rock.
The completion of the Crater
wall trail serves one of the great
t needs tn the nubile on the rl'n
nron. This was completed and!
opened July tl.
Several old familiar buildings
which had been landmarks ('
years, were torn down. Ono at
Anno Springs, one at the south
entrance and the old cook house
nt Government headquarters.

flood -bye creek fell heir to t
bridge which does credit to the
engineers nnd designers who plan

The new checking kiosk nt Anna
Springs relieves n situation which
In the past had beert a source
of grief to rangers in handling
traffic nt that point.
A new club building at Clovern

In the park.

Crater rim wnll at the rear of
Crater Lake lodge. From there
one gets a marvelous view of tho
lake and the surrounding hills.
One of the most up-to-date and
modern cafeterias in Southern
Oregon was erected in the park
not far from the lodge. This
building was completed In Ju'.y.
1!29. The cafeteria has It sto-f

Feature Service)
NEW YORK (;P) Better broad
cast radio, with television slowly
becoming more distinct in th.-
background, led the 1929 parade
of the air.
HacKo awaits 1930 with a feel
ing that its eighth year as an en
tertainment medium has taken it
Into hf .'.lihy youth.
Within the Industry Itself there
has been further evidence of sta
bilization in an effort to find a
more even keel.
Prosaic figures give an Insight
into progress. Estimates made by
Bond P. Oeddes, executive vice
president of the Radio Manufac
turers' association, place the num
ber of radio receivers sent from
the factories at 4,000,000 com
pared with 2. COO. 000 the year be
fore. A totnl of 75,000,000 tunes
have been put on the market com
pared with r.o.noo.ooo in 1928,
Mr. fieddes snld these figures j
represented a value of $850,000,-.
000. Last yenr the amount wmj
$650,000,000. j
Television Advanced
Television was given somewhat'
of a. spurt, in the laboratory at
least, with the announcement of
the development of a tube a sp
cinl cathode ray ' kinescope" thr.t
eliminates moving parts in te!o-
vision reproducers.' .
Broadcasting, ns represented by j
the two national. .chains,: Xatlonnl j
and Columbln; Introduced - many ;
novelties together, with a general
advance in program presentation.
Individually, stations also soushi
the best In program building, with
en increased trend toward high
power transmitters. Stations using
50,000 watts grew In number, and
plans were announced by otheis
to boost power. .
Stage Influences Radio
Programs themselves showed
more of the Influence of the dra
ma, and sketches of all sorts took
up more space In the air channel.!.
Often strictly musical programs
were altered to include a hint of
the stage. lm(ntus vi given
education hy radio ns more of the
class room type of programs were
presented.
The year experienced the suc
cessful rebroadcast by an NBC
group of stations of programs orig
inating across the Atlnntlc. Pick
ups from nirplanes of Important
events was climaxed with the
broadcast of the experiences of a
parachute Jumper as he dropped I
to eann. rtj--nii .-nuiv ......
transmitters r.nd receivers were
used.
Increased use of the radio for
sponsored -progrnms added many
new entertainers tn the other
lanes. More electrically recorded
features were presented.
News Is Broadcast
Outstanding In the news broad
casts were the Inauguration of
President Hoover, nnd the arrivals
and departures of tho Graf Zep
pelin. Screen- grid tubes, operated 'by
the house current, come to pro
duce a better receiver. Remnte
control and automatic tuning de
vices appeared In greater numbers.
Eclipse of the table model set bv
the console also was occompanld
hy the virtual passing of the melnl
cabinet to be supplanted by wood.
The condenser speaker, or talking
"wall paper," was introduced 'n
tompotlon with Improved dyna
mics. .
. In chain broadcasting, a fntnll'y
occurred. The American. Broad
casting company, with headquar
ters at Senttle, Wash., passed from
the picture.
Screen. Radio Tlcup
Purchase of a half Interest In
the Cotumhin chain by Paramount
pictures made closer the tleup of
screen ond radio. The National
network already was Indirectly rf
flllnted with R. K. O.
Probably the year's most Im
portant technical development was
,h rnnnllnir nf radio with air nav
igation for the guidance of planes
in flight nnd tor romiranmu
purposes. -special iiiiimrisiiv -reivers
nnd transmitters were Im
proved In design.
Relocation of wavelengths, with
the setting up of 40 cleared chan
nels for the country'" better sta
tions a year ago, was given a
thorough tryout. The plan seem
ed to work so well that a move
ment was set on foot to cleor 10

Gates Auto Company Shows New Ford Bodies in Medford Today
The new Ford town sedan
Changes that extend from radiator
New Ford hodits made their up-f
pearnnee for the first time today:

C. 13. (iates Auto Co., of this city.!

the oiit-standinn feature of thrsfi
new bodies. Mechanically, l"
Ford retains the panic chassis and
enKlne thnt have established the
performance records of the Model
A with such changes as have
been built in since its introduc
tion. Tho new linos, of tho Ford are
most readily npparent in a deeper
and narrower radiator, a higher
and Unifier hood and sireamllne
mouldings that sweep gracefully
rearward without n break.
The Instant inipreasion of a car
that sits and rides lower, results
from a lowered top, smaller wheels
larger tires and new fenders, while
increased riding space has been
provided through greater Interior
dimensions. Fenders nf new de
sign add a great deal to tho flow
ing sweep of tho car, whiKi the
running board and side dust shleM
or valance fit snugly to the hody.
Also, the fenders, flare up from
the chassis frame In u pleasing
line to n higher elevntlon than
formerly. Re ir fenders also sweep
down gracefully over the wheels
to a point two inches lower than
previously.
Oni'.of the distinctive changes
is found in the new sturdier lfl-i
inch wheels, a reduction In dltnen-
slons of the earlier wheels. This;
change, when coupled with larger,
tires, brings th car closer to lhe(
ground, thereby Attaining n still:
snugger adherence to the road-bed
While an effect of new length
and lowneys results from tho low-
erlng' of roof-lines, there is noj
cnrtnilment of head-room inside..
The Interior reflects , improvement i

Another of the Innovations of
the new Ford bodies Is the use of
rustless steel for exposed metal
parts. This is found In the radi
ator h( 11, headlamps, hub caps,

Agriculture Has Improved
;.' . J " V By ARTHUR M. HYDE
'; , ;v Secretary of Agriculture f"
THE acrlcuUurnl situation has continued , to Improve during the
past year. The marketing season for crops and HveHtoclt pro
duced in 1923 began with li in tier1- prices und prospects Unit income-trom
tjrrlctiltural production wojjld jie. higher than lu the past
deason.. i ,v .""' J iS.'v,WV
Income from livestock so far thin' season has been about 10 per
cent greater than for the snme period lust season. '
Crop production in 1929- has been lower than In 1928, owing to
acre-yields 5 to G per cent below those of 1928. The farm price Index
for July, to November, Inclusive, averaged 140 as compared with 119
lor the Home period last year. . '
The Income from agricultural production for the crop Reason or
1928li9 waH better than In '27-2S, nnd In l926-'27. Ah a result of
this progressive Improvement, the number -of furni bankruptcies Huh
been decreasing and the rat o of decline in land values lias been in
duced. . f , ; ; , ' . , ,
A survey in Mnrch1929, showed that the decline in farm land
values for the previous 12-month period was less than for any year
since 1920. Further, movement of farm people to city appears to be
less than at any time ilnce 1920.
Under the agricultural marketing act, farmer-owned and farmer
controlled centralized commodity organizations are being set up to
build a more scientific marketing system nnd bring greater system
and bring greater returns to the tanners. . :
It Is my earnest; hope that the farmers of America will contlnde
to strengthen their economic position during (he coming yenr. The
facilities and resources of the United Slates department of agricul
ture shall be so directed ns to be of great aid to the fnrmcr. .
