Following s, delay caus ed by an excessive snowfall last win ter, road construction actvltlea within Crater Lake national park are being placed under way on three projects, with the probability that double shifts will be necessary to assure com pletion before the arrival of autumn snows. Employing the largest number of men, the P. L. Crooks Construction company of Portland Is preparing to complete the grading of the first six mlle unit of the new rim road begun last year but left uncompleted due to the arrival of heavy snow last Oc tober. Approximately 30 per cent of the unit Is unfinished, Including two excessively heavy rock cuts deep as 80 feet. The company will have 100 laborers at work on two eight-hour shifts to assure completion this year. The McNutt & Pyle Construction company of Eugene has had 50 men engaged for the past three weeks on the portion of the rim road leading from a point near Lost Creek to Kerr Notch, a distance of four and one-half miles, necessitating considerable tim ber clearing, as well as grading. This project, also begun last year, Is ex pected to be completed by Septem ber. The Outhrle Construction com-' pany of Portland, active on the Dia mond Lake road within the park, has 60 men at work In completing a 1931 project of eight miles. In keeping with a government economy program, no new construc tion wad begun at Crater Lake this year, all actvltlea being centered on 1931 projects. John R. Sargent, resident engineer, federal bureau of public roads, sta tion at Crater Lake supervising road work, also reports the Clarence Young Construction company of Oakland, Cal., has completed the first unit of five and one-half miles of the Union Creek -Diamond Lake road, with the probability a new contract for further work will be let this sum mer, meaning the possibility of 200 men being employed. Laborers are now engaged on clearing the next 18 mtle unit of timber as a preparatory move.- Society and Clubs Edited by Eva Nealon LONG ABSENT ELK AGAIN VISIT PARK CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK, Ore. (Special) A complete Investi gation has shown beyond a doubt that elks have entered the park; for the summer, the first time In several seasons, after having been first re ported a week or so ago. Tracing the history of the elk, Ranger Charles Blmson, making a zoological survey of the park, learned numerous perti nent facts. In January of 1916, 15 head of two-year-old elk were shipped to Klamath county and for quite a time were fed at the Pelton ranch near Fort Klamath. As the years passed by, the herd gradually grew and were often seen In the neighbor hood of Seven-mile creek. Heavy nows last winter drove over 140 head to a ranch near the park boun daries, where the animals made re peated raids on hay stacks, so de pleting the hay supply of one rancher he was forced to drive them away with the exception of 35 which per sisted in remaining. It Is thought the elk driven away were largely killed by cold weather, resulting in the probable loss of at least 100 head. Of the 35 which remained, approximately 25 are be lieved to have found their way Into the park. 1 Veteran Postal Inspector Sees Natural Wonder CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK. Ore. (Spl.)

Then smokers tell other smokers "one smoker telling another" that they find that although they smoke a great many Chesterfields during the day, they never tire of them; and that they have found out that Chesterfield is a milder cigarette, that it is a cigarette that tastes better, that it is a cigarette with a most pleasing aroma. Some time ago, in a Chesterfield ad vertisement, there was a statement, "A $90,000,000 Reason," and this means that the larger part of $90,000,000 is invested in the right kind of ripe, mild Domestie and Turkish tobaccos to make sure that Chesterfields are milder and taste better.
