Residents Urged to Join

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.

ASTORIV, Jul) 1?- (P) How

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

Naming Of Scenic Points
In Southern Oregon Area
Recounted By Will Steel
Uy I'YmI Uickley
(In Oregon Journal.)
Each year sees increasing num
bers of tourists visit the Oregon
Caves, to the westward of Grants
Pass, and to Crater Iake, reached
from Medford or Bend. Some years
ago it was my good fortune to have
William i. Steel point out some
of the striking points in nnd about
Crater Iake. He was appointed
superintendent of Crater Lake na
tional park in 1913 and served for
some years. Ht Is an authority on
the history of Crater Ldike. Prob
ably very few tourists who visit tho
lake know that Annie creek was
named In 1865 .-for Miss Annie
Uaines. who visited this stream
with Mrs. O. T. Brown that year.
Annie flalnes was the first woman
to reach the water at Crater Lrtke.
Applegate peak, which has an ele
vation of 7115 feet. Is named for
Captain O. C. Applegate. one of
picturesque pioneers of Klam
Cteetwood canyon s
named for the bont that was used
to sound the depth of the lake in
1SS6. Copeland creek Is named for
Hiram Copeland of Fort Klamath.
Crater I-ake itself has had varl-
ou names, ji was uisnoverea jyi

party to visit the lake consisted of
prospectors on June ij. I8i,3. tney
Chauncey Nye, H. Abbott, J. W.
Sessions, James Ley man and J.
Brandlin. They visited the lake
on October 21. J862. 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. Maxwell of Edin
burgh, one of the early explorers
of the Crater Lake district. Later
it was renamed Glacier peak and
still later It was re-chrlstened Hill
man peak, for John W. Hillman,
the discoverer of Crater Lake.

whether they had been killed by

for the trail on which the dead
Indians were found. Dyar rock
was named by Captain Oliver C.

"The River of the West" and of
Bancroft's "History of Oregon."
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

of
Toledo, Ohio, visited this noint in
1 872. Dr. Munson died at wht
is now known as Munson noint

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

John W, Hillman, who discover
ed Crater Lake, was born In Al
bany, W. Y., March 29, 1832. 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
