iCEDFORD MAIL TRIBTJXE. JFEDFORl), OREGON, MONDAY, MAY 23, 1932. PAGE THREE FRIENDS OF STEEL 'FATHER OF PARK1 Sunday witnessed the gathering of old mends or Judge will o. Steel at hla Carglll Court home on the 80th anniversary ol Crater lake as a national park and ae a tribute and recognition of his untiring de votion to the saving of this strange marvel of the mountains to the people. The evening was spent mostly In reminiscence sparkling with: "you remember that, don't you Jim sure I do. Will. That was In '88 when we dragged a 100-pound sled-load of red-fire powder to the top of Mt. Hood tor the 4th of July Illumination that was seen In Fort- land, Salem, Prlnevllle and other places. We saw their fireworks from the top of the mountain, dldnt we Will you bet we did, and that's the time when you slipped on the Ice and started down yes and you, W1U. Jumped out to stop me and down we went and If you hadn't dug your heels In just as you did and given me a chance to use the alpine- stock, there would have been nothing left but a funeral." "Yes, It was Tom Tongue who Introduced the bill to make Crater lake a national park, but he was beaten, hammered down by the enemy until he was completely dis couraged. But I thought we bad another chanoa and wrote Plnchot a 10-page letter and he took the tight direct to Roosevelt, who was won over sufficiently to start swing ing the blg-stlck and he made them pass the bill. Just think of It. It took us five days to go to the lake then; now it's done In half as many hours. "I wonder If much of the old road la left some of It Is. I followed It up the mountain to where John M. Breck. Jr, and I were Bitting and the idea occurred to make the place a national park. I put a stake there, but someone pulled It up in making a parking garden, but I'll put another one there." Alter the serving of refreshments. Judge Steel was presented with a framed assembly that held at the top the original and first picture ever taken of Crater lake by Peter Brltt In 1874. A small likeness of Judge Steel was set in against Victory Rock looking out across the lake he loves so well. Below were Inscribed the following lines: To Our Good Friend, Will G. Steel Given This Trl-Decade Anniversary of Crater lake as a national park. It's certainly grand to be gifted And equally so to be strong, And we envy the guy who will always try And the man wltn a happy song. But still, there Is a higher rating, -. Where occasional ones survive When an unselfish man conceives of a plan And makes It the work of his life. A plan that saves tor the people A prl of God's handicraft, But the sower must sow tho result be slow And critics will all call him daft. Tho he's walking with want and hunger, Prying on the grill of man's doubt, Yet the fires within are hotter for him And keeps him along the grim route. But at last when the task completed, Shows a winding road to the place, And the people who gase like one In a maze And some who whisper a grace, It surely must warm up the heart strings When their obvious Joy you feel, For a work that Is won, a work that Is done, And here Is to you, Will Steel.
