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.

snow-laden for most of the day but
there were no more storms.
The Sinnott Memorial, observation
station and museum, was opened to
the public Sunday, the path having
been cut through over 13 feet of snow
to permit entrance to the building,
located on Victor Rock, nearly 1000
feet directly above the lake surface.
It was one of the popular attractions
for all visitors.
Snow Is continuing to settle and
melt, slowly receding from its 18
foot depth a few weeks ago until
approximately 13 feet Is felt tn the
rim area. Snow Bhovelers have been
busy cutting paths to different buildings.

NOWADAYS, when so many people are talking about
purity .'..pure food, pure milk, pure water... it's
worth a minute to tell you something about the purity
of Chesterfield cigarettes.
All the materials that go into the making of Chest
erfield cigarettes arc tested again and again by expert
research chemists. Just like the things you
eat and drink.
The tobacco is pure tbe right kinds, Domes
tic and Turkish Loth, mild, sweet, ripe. The
Ch
paper is pure clean, white, the best cigarette paper
that money can buy. There is purity in every ingre
dient and cleanliness in every operation.
You can know, when you light a Chesterfield, that it
is as pure as science can make a cigarette. And your
taste will tell you it's milder, it tastes better.
