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

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

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

He Is an Important exeoutlre of a

Secretary of the Interior Ickes. All
he drew from the secretary vs a
glaaiy stare.
The next day he got an appoint

pected to find him worn out by his
'ourdena, but discovered instead that
Mr. Roosevelt was fresh, alert and
vigorous. The oil msn u given an
attentive hearing and was told to see
the secretary of the Interior again
the following day.
This Interview turned out to be en
tirely different. The secretary prom

hours was In conference with the
governors of oil-producing state to
figure out methods of controlling
production effectively
The New Yorker svs he has learn

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.

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. LACK OF EMPLOYMENT

be furnished by the governor's relief
committee of which Mr. Owen Is
chairman.
Solicitations, if any are necessary.

ticipated and the sponsors of the

terference with the trust fund to be
established for the Prescott family.
The monument will be located In
the city park and will be designed and
provided for In a manner which will
enable all persons to feel they have
had a pert to play In establishment
