LAKE RE HIED Grande Ronde Celebration, Pageant Will Draw Inspi- ration From Historical Events in Connection With Scenic Wonder. One of. the rare treats In store for visitors at the celebration of j the opening of the Salmon River Cut-Off on July 19, is the pageant of Crater Lake. , The celebration will open at New Grande Ronde, j 'Ore. ; The lake will be represented by ; Mrs. Leo M. Martin of Toledo, Ore. ! She is the youngest daughter of j J-iaao Skeeters, one of the first 1 discoverers. Medford's princess is to be represented by Miss Mar jorie Skeeters, granddaughter of Mr. Skeeters. Joseph Skeeters, eldest son of Isaac Skeeters, will bo one of the horsemen. The' plc turo of the lake depicts the year of its discovery In 3 853. The sov-cnty-soven years that have elapsed since that time will be depicted by Miss Skeeters who will sing' "Tho Valley of the Rogue." Crater Lake flowers aro to bo represent ed by. children from Toledo. Story of Discovery The story of the earliest discov ery of Crater Lake is recounted hero for the pleasure of Mail Tribune readers who are not other wise familiar with its history. The earliest discovery of the lake of which there is any au thentic record was on June 12, 1K53, by a party of prospectors named. Dodd, John W. Ilillman, James L. Loudon, Patrick Mc ManuH, tlcorge Ross and Isaac Kke?toi Jf. "who, in company " with some others, had been lured up the Rogue, river valley in search of fubuloUKly rich mines reported by some-California gold hunter bo on the upper Rogue river. 10 vents leading up to the rils covjaitit were as'rfoUowsf-- In .the-., early spring of that year a party of California prospectors enmo to Jacksonville, and by the secrecy observed In securing provisions and the caution maintained In all their movements, so excited tho curiosity if sPvei-Hl Oregon prnspertnrs thst a party was nt once formed and a watch si't upon the movements of the Caltforniuns which resulted In the leaking out of the old story of "lost diggings" teeming with placer gold, which the newcomers were in search of. I Parties Unite j As soon as both parties could be eiuipped a forced march be gan, and although every . device known to the pioneers of those early days was resorted to, the Oregoniuns could not be misled or shaken off. This state of af fairs ceased only on the provis ions of both becoming exhausted, when a truce was called and Hill man, the leader of the Oregon ians, candidly informed the Cali fornia leader that his party pro posed to stay as long as the others were in the mountains. The re sult was a union of the two parties, th'e Interchange of the secret landmarks and a decision to I huve a few of the hardier mem bers continue the search and re port progress to the main party left In camp. This was accordingly done, but the "lost diggings" did not mater ialize, and game being scarce it soon became a serious question how longer to maintain even this small party In condition to con tinue the search for the famous diggings. To make matters worse the party had lost nearly all idea of their whereabouts, and had to resort to the old method of climb- j lng peaks to ascertain them. 1 Lakes Seen From the summit of these peaks they saw numerous lakes, and fin ally after descending a long gentle slope they came upon the brink of a precipice where far below them lay, what the leader of the party described as "the bluest lake 1 ever saw." Their hunger was for. tho time forgotten as they gazed into its placid bluo waters and in the clear atmosphere of that season of tho year realized Its expanse. They reached its rim at a point a little west of Victor Rock, found tho snow reaching down to tho water in very many places, and, contin uing along tho rlin for some hours, they estimated the luke to bo not less than twenty miles In diameter, and judged Us distance from Jacksonville to be about 125 miles. They looked in vain for an outlet, which made their discovery seem all the mora wonderful, and they saw, and on their return gave a fairly accurate description of Wiz ard Island, but failed to notice the Phantom Ship. Discuss Namo After their wonder and excite ment had subsided; the naming of tho lake was "discussed and each one suggesting a nnme, it finally narrowed, to tho selection of ono ot . r twowAfystorlous or Deop Bluo Lake the latter being given the preference, though it was occas ionally referred to "afterwards tu Lake Mystery. One member of the party suggested their making the. descent to the water, but this whb onco frowned upon by hN CENSUS FIXES I RANK OF CITIES!!

Since he wus a small boy, the president has followed tho way of fish, and waters in many parts of the world have held hooks dropped by this cosmopolitan lwink Walton. Friends of the chief executive suy that not only is he a finished fisherman, but that he possesses the ounlitv termed "fisherman In stinct" which enables him 1 fro iiucntly to tell intuitively whoro tho fleli are most numerous. At Ills napldan river camp in Virginia, Mr. Hoover sometimes leaves a stretch of water after only R few unsuccessful casts, ap parently on the strength of such a "hqnth." At other times he will linger at a place Initially uninviting, study ing to learn what kind of bait may prove most enticing. Ho watches insects about tho water In the hope that ho will find tho food most relished by tho trout. Tho fly selected often rescmbloB tho color and size of tneso in sects. Sometimes It is a royal coacn- i man, and again, u urowu uu Tho black gnat, yeljow may. ana grizzly king also have proved good bait. On dark days, other luctois being equal, he may select a bright fly to tempt trout that show no Intorost In drnh "food.' Tho president never uses a on. casting rod, preferring tho sport ing chance which a light tiy ruu .rives the fish. Tho rod ordinar ily employed by htm both in trout and bass flailing is seven ono-half feet long, nnd very llRni. Ho also uses a 9-foot casting rod, few ounces heavier. Mr. Hoover has no difficulty In tho water spots sought, as ho Is adept nt casting a long line. In maneuvering for trout no always fishes upstream If tbo wea ther Is not too windy. vhi.t the well-dressed lisncr- nian should wear seems of Utile intercut to tllO lirOStllent. Ho is all set, so far as sartorial equipment Is concerned when nt inna Into n imlr of rubber hip hoots. Any old hat will do If It fits, and ho makes no fuss over tho rest of his wardronc. A tireless walker, he often trav elf" far and wide in tho two orj Kllelulv more, hours that ho usu ,.uv iiHnis to a "fishing day" at nt his cauin. President Hoover likes fishing f nil kinds not only beeauso the sport Uolf appeals to Mm, but al.-io because It affords him com- nlntn relaxation. "Fishing is good for tho soul of man." he savs. "Us blessings in nltido not only Edgar Cluesfn 'wash ot tho soul' with pure air. but they also Includo discipline In the onuality of "men, meekness and Inspiration before the work of nature, charity and patlcnco toward Lacklc makers nnd tho fish a mockery of profits and conceits, CITY'S GARBAGE COMMITTEE TO REPORT FINDING' i n.Utce oit parks and public works, Suiierintemfent Schnffcl Bays: Alleys Untidy "Inspection of tho alleys was made and wo found IWat they use Kurbntfe cans of all descrlpttonn. and the boxes aro of various sizes.
