FOREST BLAZES CUT DOWN AUTO Smoke Deters Many Visitors From State, Forestry Service Records Show Residents Urged to Join Prevention Moves. PORTLAND, Ore., July 12. (fl1) Officluls of the United Htates for est 'service here said forest fires In Oregon nnd Washington direct ly .effect the volume of lomist travel both currently and In the future. The prevalence of large fires In the Pacific northwest, they said with their accompanying smoke clouds hiding the scenery and tainting the atmosphere unques-! tlonably keeps many people away and causes others already In the; region to leave hurriedly. "The most serious detriment to the tourist business In the long run," the statement suld, "Comes from damage which fires do to j scenic beuuty, fishing streams, j game haunts and other recreation-, al qualities that are Inherent in parks, forest and wilderness areas for these are the things that can not be replaced In a life time If ot all. . ' There Is another lift mediate injury. Korest fire news Is eager ly sought by the press everywhere and large fires are prominently played up on front pages of dally papers throughout the country. There Is nothing unusual or strange about this, for a forest fire Is news. Moreover, Informa tion travels with surprising rapid ity by word of mouth one tourist to another as they meet along the way. News of this kind cannot and nhould not be -suppressed. For est ofilcers hold strongly to the noHlilon that the press is entitled nt .11 times to the facts about onv nnd all forest fires. The only sure way to prevent forest fires piihllrlty-ta the detriment of tour ist travel which may exaggei i lion und scarehend tendencies nometimes occur is to prevent the big fires. Hire prevention then Is lo the advantage of everyone who benefits from the tourist uusi ness. Including all organizations pneaeetl in stimulating travel "Smokers and campers are the two most prolific sources of man caused fires and finding means of holding down the number, of such fireH is as much of the Job of those who benefit from the tour ist hui'imss ns it Is the Job of foresters. There are many means that can be employed, filling sta tion and hotel men. information bureaus nnd local business people xenerallv can give verbal warning when the fire danger is extreme against throwing out matches and lobacco or leaving camp ures no iineuishd. They can use slo- vans In advertising matter call- ing attention to forest fire preven tion. Fire posters can be dis played In conspicuous places. Stickers and leaflets especially de signed to help prevent fires can be distributed to patrons. In short they can take forest fire preven tion seilously and help in It. "It b highly desirable to have more I eople come to the Pacific northwest which they are certain to do with advertising and the improving of roads. It Is also especially Important that they be Induced to spend a longer time here by keeping unimjrairt-u u. ncenie. wild life, water and forest roxttiircf all or wnitn may uu injured or entirely destroyed by forest fires. "The slogan 'Prevent Forest Fires it pays' is quite as appli cable to those eneaged In the tourist business as It Is to those engaged in lumbering or Irriga tion or the livestock business.

ASTORIV, Jul) 1?- (P) How 30 acres of land devoted to experi mental work lias discovered facts that have already gone far, forward toward immeasurable Improving Oregon coast agriculture has just been shown to hundreds of farm ers who attended llje annual series of field days at the John Jacob Astor experiment station, two miles south of here. Seventeen years ago the state acquired E0 acres of land, about half hill soil and half diked but un dralned tide land, all of which was uncleared and of course never farmed. Today 30 acres are cleared and In crops and for 14 years' system atic experiments with crop and soil Improvements have been carried on under the continuous direction of one superintendent. A. 1J. Knge-' bretson, native of this country and; graduate of Oregon State college. Visitors this year have viewed j the results of a crop rotation ex-; periment on a range of 24 small plots which was started 13 years ago to determine what soil treat-) ment, if any, would permit the; growth on old land of clover, vetch or other legumes. Lime has been proven to be the limiting factor in raising legumes as shown by the fact that every plot limed has a heavy crop ot vetch in this thirteenth season, while every unllmed plot is prac tically devoid of legumes though seeded at the same rate. Manure with lime Increases the yield. As the coast agriculture is founded on dairying the legumes are hld necessary for success with cows, experiments with eleven kinds of legumes nre conducted. A comparatively new one.- Austrian field peas, has been found well adapted to the coast. More work has been done on root crops such as turnips and beets at the Astoria station than any other place in the United States. These roots are grown rs succulent feed for the dairy herds! In winter. This work recently in:ui" county. the Introduction of new variety of turnips, the Bortfield, which yields as high as 40 tons to the acre and Is more resistant to pests.

"With the passing of much virgin timber of the coast area and the uncertainties of the lumber mar-1 ket, these counties are turning more and more to agriculture as the basis for future prosperity. Tho work of this little experiment sta tion Is making possible for farm ers to realize on many of the nat ural advantages possessed by this region. TRINAN. China. July 12.

It was again v"ei in juiy. ison, ny iwo nuni- ers from Fort Klamath, who named It Lake Majesty, and It was so call ed until August, 18G9, when some visitors from Jacksonville named it Crater Lake. Goodbye bridge was named by Leslie M. ficott of Portland on July 22. 191 3, be cause ft was the Inst work done by W. F. Arant before he retired as superintendent. Goodbye creek takes its name from the bridge, liillman peak was originally call ed Maxwell peak, "being named for Sir William F.

Wizard Island, which rises 763 feet above Crater Lake, was named by Will G. Steel on August 17, 1885. Union peak was named by the party who visited tho lake on October 21, 18C2, during the Civil war. Mount McLoughlin, whose elevation is 9700 feet, was named in 1842 by JJonnld McKay. It was Known ny me Indians as Snowy , um-.

The Watch- man peak was named berniinn when the lake was being sounded the engineers were stationed on the summit of Watchman peak to watch for tho signals and record the soundings. Recently the newspapers carried a story about the finding of a mysterious carved stone known as "The Lady of the Woods." Home time ago Dr. Karl It. Bush of the United Htates public heallrfi service wrote a letter to Miss Anne Shan non Monroe In which he said: "The statue known as 'The Lady f the Woods' was ever-iiterl You Will Never Regret COVE having jour platen made at thin office.

When ho wits 17 yenrs old this, was In 1840 he went to the California gold fluids. In 1851 he was work ing In northern California und southern Oregon. He was one of the early prospectors and miners at Jacksonville. While Hillman und a party of friends from Jack sonville were trailing a party of California miners who wero In search of the Lost Cabin mine, on June 12, 1853, Hillman suddenly came tin tho very edge, of Crater Lak5. He couldn't believe It pus- Bible,,, that there was a lake so high In tiie mountains. Hillman and his purty named the lake Deep Blue lake. Hillman died ut Hope Villa, La., March III, 1915. In 1883 J.

They were the first men, so far as is known, to ever set foot on this Island, for tho Indians were so superstitious that they would not visit the Inko, let alone puddling nuttto the Island, In the summer of 1885 Will G. Hteel be came interested In the lake and he induced Keuator J. N. Dolph (to introduce u bill to create Crater Ijike nutionul park.
