These facta were eatabllahed by a party of Ollmore oil company men who exiled In to Crater Lake National park a few daya ago to get plcturea of the heaviest snowfall ever recorded for the park. The 53 feet, which had fallen by March 1, had packed down to a depth of 16 feet "on the level," making sec ond atory entrances quite simple. Drive In Soon. But the point of real Interest to the general public la that anyone 'ean drive Into iit park soon now from the Medford entrance. The snow barriers are being removed and the Crater Lake park "wonderland or enow" will be thrown open to every one, according to B- O. Sollnsky, park superintendent, whose co-operatton made the news-gathering trip pos sible. To quote D. S. Llbitty, assistant superintendent, and park naturallat: "One of the questions frequently asked by the multitude of visitors from all over the world who come each summer to view Crater lake la 'How much snow falls?' and 'How deep doea It accumulate?' "The opportunity la now offered for you to vtalt this scenic marvel while It la atlll wrapped in Its win ter cloak of white, at a time when the maximum accumulation of snow occurs. "The 'frost flowera' of winter, which replaced the bloasoma of summer time, still remain. The tree boughs are bent under the burden of snow and Ice maaaea and appear like giant plumea frosted with fleecy covering of Iridescent Jewels. May Open This Week. "Aa a result of the winter-long operation of the anow plow the high ways will be opened this week and you are Invited to visit the fairyland of Crater lake. You will drive through miles of , sruw-walled highway to reach the rim and view this magle land, sparkling under the rays of a brilliant aun. It la your opportunity o sea for yourself how this unique eenlo wonder, the rare Jewel of Uncle Sam's National park aystem, appears after the heavy anows of a long and severe winter. Is Music Land. "crater lake will present a marve lous picture to our early season vis itor. The mysterious and weird forms which have been taken on by the va rious two and three-story utility buildings, checking stations and park headquarters are grotesque and faaol Jiatlng. It Is indeed a maglo land which beckons to you upon the crest of the Cascade range sparkling under the lustre of nature's wonderful man tle of white, Coma lovers of winter porta skllera and tobogganers you will find a playground that equals your fondest dreams. Above all you have the lure of seeing Crater lake atlll bedecked In a diadem of anow eovered encircling cliffs. - The formations which have been called "frost flowers" by Mr. Llbbey and which are among the moat en chanting of alghta for the tourlat at Crater lake In the winter were ex plained by Mr. SoUnsky. Weird Formations. "Weird formationa that only mois ture, wind and a freealng tempera ture could 'grow sometimes trans form the park Into a grotesque fairy land. "In the same manner that mois ture cornea out of the ground to free re and make tiny formationa with which we are all familiar oc the ground at the time of a frost, the moisture will climb dry stems, tele phone poles, trees and other objecte and freer Into huge, ghostlike fig urea. Then when the sun strikes these huge clusters they become ra diant, glittering and crystal-like. "As the wind blowa while the mois ture la freealng the 'flowers' will 'grow Into every odd shape Imagin able. "Another beautiful phenomenon," Mr. Sollnsky continued, "la the frown fog. The fog will freeaa on each In dividual needle on trees and bushes sometimes five and six Inches long. Kvery needle will keep Its contour and the effect will be a huge tree of loa In perfeot formation." Move Much Snow. It was pointed out to the Ollmore men by Harry "Happy" Fuller, anow plow operator, that "enough anow waa plowed laat winter to make a akl track three feet wide, alx Inchea deep and long enough to encircle the world at the equator." A two-way road, 18 feet wide. 3D miles long Is kept open during the winter by Fuller and "Betsy." the rotary snow plow. In a few minutes of figuring It was esti mated that mora than 4Tt.100.000 pounds or 337.000 tone 'of snow haa been moved. "Perhaps you wonder why you are not permitted to come Into the park earlier and participate In winter aporta on the rim of Crater lake." Fuller continued. "Barrlera of anow are left to plug the roada at the park boundaries. Although we travel the roads, they are not fit for tour let travel. During a atorm they are aometlmea Impassable an hour after the plow passes. "Why all thla work then If you can't come In? Frevents Farklng. "As the winter progresses the snow continually packs more solidly until by spring It la almost loe. Such anow Is difficult and much more ex pensive to move. "Before we atarted thla winter plowlnj very often the first of July before you could drive to the lake." - The winter park force la made up of David H. Canfleld. chief ranger: Charles H. Simeon, ranger and park photographer; Martin H. Palmer, chief mechanic; laaao Davidson, carpenter; D. H. Worley, weather bureau man and carpenter; Charles Oould, atoro keeper; Jesse A. Smith, cook; Fred B. cotton, bull-cook, and "Happy" lion guaranteed. Fuller 309 Liberty Bug.

BOURBONS HUNGER FOR LARGER SLICE OF PATRONAGE PIE (Continued from Page One.) It la a fact that every time they called the Post Office department re cently the excuse waa offered that nothing could be done until O'Ma honey had the bone extracted and returned to work. There Is no evidence that It waa part of Mr. Roosevelt' gam of hold ing back on patronage until he gets what he want out of congress, The truth la Mr. Roosevelt haa not uaed the patronage atlck aa mucvh aa everyone give him credit for. He haa not been forced to. His popularity out In the country haa proved suf ficient to keep wayward congressmen In line. The delay In making appoint mente has been only a contributing factor in inducing tha boy to atlck to the ship. These Democrats who are running eongreaa now were r.ot born yester day. Their strategy outmatches any thing recently seen hereabouts. The way they pushed the Black six hour five-day week bill up from no where in the senate la a good Instance of how they work when they really put their minds to It. Their problem was labor. The labor lobbies were strongly opposing some Rose ve It program bills. They fought the reforestation bill. Thev were planning to fight the farm bill com Ing up next. So to relax labor opposition to the farm measure and to ease a rery strained alt nation the Democratic strategists decided to give the Zlack bill it inning. That la about all it amounted to. Ths lunar Wouole with Bitch bill -if 0 1 ft-- 1 f-- Is that it haa no minimum wage re striction. That la why President Roosevelt held back on endorsing it. There was a general belief that In Its present form It would afford an op portunity for wage reduct'ons. Mr. Roosevelt la known to be for the egoeral Idea. Black held two pri vate conferences on the subject at the Whlto House. He contended on each occasion he had talked about Muscle Shoala but he had his fingers crossed when he said that. It la no secret that constitutionality of the Mil la In doubt. If the supreme court holds to former rulings like that In the Child labor case the bill la doomed. There la a hope that the court may reverse Itself. A minimum wage clause would prejudice the chances the bill has with the court. All together It appears the coun try is yet a long way from 'labor's goal, tt will be reached eventually, but the prospects right now ar not as encouraging as they appear. The atate department must deny tt but tt exerted strong personal pres sure on Mr. Hitler after the anti Jewish boycott. The department worked through th embassy at Ber lin. No lees than five times In one day did the embassy call at the Oer maa foreign oUtet. Tou can be ure the talk waa not about the weather. Denials must be made because we do not want to be placed officially in the position of telling Herr Hitler what to do. That would only defeat our pacific purposes In Germany. Wratn of the hotbeda would then be turned on us and all other foreigners. DRY AGENT'S HOI TARGET FOR - BOMB NEW YORK, April 13.
