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

PIONEER MOTHER OF
WASHINGTON MP) Hven tho
lure of the medicine ball Is not
so strong for President Hoover as
tho angler's call to cool streams
where trout leap.
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.

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.

On dark days, other luctois

bright fly to tempt trout that

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

ono-half feet long, nnd very llRni.
Ho also uses a 9-foot casting rod,

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.
