Highway to Crater Lake Will Open Early to Give Glimpse of Snow Beauty On. of the question frequently ukM by the multitude of visitor Irom all over the world who come each lumer to view Orator Jake li how much mow falls?" "How deep does It accumulate?" and "What are tha winter condltlona?" They are lmprrased by the acenlo grandeur of the lake and It unique setting. Alter experiencing the beautiful color of thla blueat of blue lakes framed In the Jagged and precipitous. muin-olo.-d lava and pumice elope, and ' garlanded around the rim by the jade green fringe of hemlock and pine, the vlaltor wonder a to the transformation ram - The opportunity 1 now offered to (.it. h Minnie marvel while It la tlU wrapped In It winter oloak of whit, at a time when the maximum aooumulatlon of snow occurs. Curi ously, the greatest snow depth cornea after spring ha arrived down In the valleys. The "frost flowers" of winter, Which replaced the blossoms of sum mer time, still remain. The tree bouffb are bent under the burden of now and Ice mtaee, and appear like giant plumes fronted with a fleecy coveilng of Iridescent Jewels. As a result of the winter-long op eration of the snow plow, the high ways will be opened early In April. One may drive through miles of snow-walled highway to reach the rim and view the magic land, spark ling under the rays of a brilliant .tun. It 1 an opportunity to see how the unique scenic wonder, the rare Jewel of the national park system ap pears after the heavy mow of a long end sever winter. On March 1. 1833, M9 Inches or M feet of snow had fallen since last October. This Is 88 finches of 7 feet 114 Inches more than had fallen at the same date for the previous year, and the snowfall for the winter of 1981 -33 was the greatest on record. If tb snowfall for the balance the year to any degree approaches normal fall, there w.ll be a greater accumulation this year than last. The comparative snowfall figures for the wlmers of 1031-33 and 1032-33, by months are a followa: Peptemtoor.. October November H December i. January February , March ... (To date.) 103 5 -S3 ' Inches . s - ai .158 .M ,.130 . 00 1031-33 Inches September 3 October SI November -..114 December 151 H January 193 , February 09 March . 111 April W May 38 790'A prom the above It Is evident that only 1M!4 Inches of snow will have to fall during March. April and May to equal the total snowfall for last year. It appear vey probable that the record-breaking snowfall of last season, amounting to os feet loss Inches, will be exceeded. The maximum accumulation of enow on the ground at any one time last season was 13 fret 10 Inches at Headquarters. This consisted of packed snow and Ice and the peak was reached during April. Slnoe, on Marun 1 this year, there was a depth of la feet 8 Inches at Park head quarters, It appears that when It 1 deemed safe to permit cars Inside the park, early in April, the visitors will find an equal or greater snow ao oumulatlon. Crater lake will present a marvel ous picture to the early season vis itor. The mysterious and weird forms which have been taken on by the various two and three-story buildings, checking station and the park headquarters building are gro tesque and fascinating. It I indeed maple land which beckons, spark ling under the lustre of nature' won derful mantle of white. BEER RACKETEERS ART DEPARTMENT SPELL DANGER FOR (Continued noui fag one) ton will ask the admlnlatratlon to authorise. The plan a outlined call for lumping of strong and weak roads In each separate system. For Instanco, Louisville It Nashvlllo would have to take over seaboard & Atlantlo coast Line and Southern Railway would be saddled with Illinois Central and others Norfolk Western n ex tremely well-managed road would be swallowed by Pennsylvania. In the opinion of Insiders, the plan would work out to keep several of the less efficient roads on top of the heap and would block the proc ess .vf healthy of painful reorganis ation which 1 otherwise In prospect. The question Is asked widely: "Why should a management whloh ha fail ed to operate 5.000 miles of road suc cessfully be expected to do a good Job with 30,000 miles??" Another angle ha to do with the effect on railway labor. Many thou stands more men would be thrown out of Jobs through the abandonment of lines. This Is sxpected to carry considerable weight In the adminis tration's decision. Huey Long's mailing list needs checking up. One of his olrculars advocating taxation to limit fortunes, inheritances and incomes was recent ly delivered to one of the atlffest- necked conservatlvea In banking lr ole.

Brewers Pin 'Reconstruction Hope 100-Glass-Per-Capita Forecast To DARK STATES PRO- T7T - l ZXs-. ' Jr 0UCED FOUR. FIFTHS j I lS? sfXL OF COUNTRY'S BEER N s jSiJJj S- BEFORE PROHIBITION .O. - The Brewing Industry hu been laying the groundwork for a reconstruction program Involving mtllloo of dollars, all based on Its hope that -legal beer" would result from congressional liberalization of the national prohibition laws. The darker states on the map are those which before adoption of the eighteenth amendment produced 70.9 per cent of the total beer made In the United States. By I. B. BBACKETT NSW YORK (AP) American brewers look to legal beer and an esti mated 100-glaas per capita yearly con sumption as the basis of their recon struction program. This Is equivalent to the 25,000,000 to 30,000,000 barrels the brewing In dustry estimates It can produce and the $125,000,000 to 150,000.000 tax revenue It figures would accrue to the government. Such a production compares with more than 60,000.000 barrels In the pre-war years, but the Industry has declared It would need several months to bring facilities up to capacity. They assert that, given a year of legal ope ration, their capacity will reach about 40.000,000 barrels. During this first year a study by the United States Brewers' associa tion says, some 6370.000.000 will be spent by the Industry for everything from carpenter work, refrigerators and labels to bungs, hops and varnish. Here la how brewers divide the amount: Reconstruction of existing plants, $170,000,000; material. $70,000,000; cases, $13,000,000; bottles, $15,000,000; labels, crowns, etc., $5,000,000; coop erage $50,000,000; trucks, $15,000,000; advertising. $20,000,000. What would such an expenditure mean to other Industry? - First, the association calculates from a survey of trade associations and businesses dealing In the supplies the brewers will need there will be additional employment for 500,000 on a full and part timo basis. The industry estimates It will need 40.000,000 bushels of barley, 800,000, 000 pounds of rice, corn, sugar and so on, 30,000,000 pounds of hops and 2,000,000 tons of coal. Translated Into terms of the rail roads, these figures would mean there would be 40.000 carloads of coal, 68. 000 carloads of brewing materials, 5000 carloads of machinery and ap pliances, 10,000 carloads of beer, 5000 carloads of grains a total of 123,000 carloads. drizsung rain with whloh snow mingled, accompanied a sharp drop In temperature here this morning.

TALE OF i L In line with the optimistic note, which hsa pervaded mining circles for several days was the report re leased yesterday by the Southern Ore gon Mining association of gold brought In by Henry and Joe Slotlk, who mine the Silver Fork of Elliott creek. Two bottle filled with gold nugget, taken from placer, were brought In by the miners Tuesday. The gold weighed 24 ounces and they receive for It approximately 18 an ounce. The Slotlk bring similar smounts of gold Into Medford every week or two, they stated. The gold was displayed at the chamber of commerce by the Southern Oregon Mining association and at tracted much attention, especially among ranks of the unemployed, anx ious to try their luck at mining. There are many other cases Just like the Slotlks mining association men atated yesterday. There are many others of course, they added, where but a bare living Is eked from the mountains, but In all cases the miners are managing to eat without asking food from the county commis sary.
