We can think of no more fitting epitaph than the above for Will Steel, long time resident and "father of Crater Lake," who early Sunday morning after a lingering illness fell into thut final sleep from which (here is no "earthly awakening." A few weeks before his death Mr. Steel, sitting in his chair in the lobby of the Hotel Medford, where for months he had been a familiar figure said to the present writer: "I am getting gradually weaker. I know the end la not far off. No I do not auffer. And far from fearing death, I honestly welcome It. X am through. X have done my work. Thla may sound strange to you, but the things I have wanted most to do, I have done. I believe few men have been aa fortunate and I am grateful. And now I am tired very tired. I want a rest, and only the complete and final rest will do." Few men INDEED have been as fortunate, in life, even fewer as fortunate when the inevitable end of the trail drew near.

It didn't, for while never an intimate of Mr. Steel's we had known him for many years, and no doubt understood his nature and what life meant to him, better than he realized. But as life is too frequently valued, such an appraisal of his own life might to many be mystifying. In worldy goods certainly, Will Steel died "poor"; far from a success in the money making line. While well known through out the state, and also known nationally as the father of Crater Lake, he had never achieved, what could be termed real fame. Tet as he said, the things he had wanted most to do he had done what he regarded as the real values in life he had at tained. This wag because he understood what the REAL values of life are. Few men had more friends or better ones; few men were more truly beloved or more highly respected ; few men had ever enjoyed so many years, a happier or more satisfying family j life ; and few men had in early life dreamed a dream, and lived to see that dream realized. eee rr,IIAT dream, of course was Crater Lake discovered by others in a literal and physical sense; but in a spiritual and esthetio sense, never discovered until it was found, nearly half a century ago, by Will 0. Steel. To have this great natural won der set aside not only for his but for future generations to enjoy ; to have it included in a great national park service; to have it developed, improved and properly cared for, became both his passion and his life vocation. And the real secret of his content ment with life, we believe, rested in this fact, that his heart had been in his work, that the things he most cared for, were the things he had worked for, and finally to achieve his goal there fore, gave him the most supreme satisfaction, that mere man perhaps can ever enjoy, the realization that the work he had set out to do, had been done, and done WELL. TPO leave any estimate of Will Steel, there, as merely a lover of man and of nature, a dreamer of dreams lucky enough to see his dreams come true, would give a very imperfect picture, of the man. There was precious little luck in Mr. Steel's achievement, as the father of Crater Lake. Idealistic, poetic, even impractical perhaps from a worldly standpoint; underneath that surface of gentleness and tolerance and consideration, there was the tough fibre of the early pioneer, and the gallantry and fighting spirit of an Old World crusader. For years he carried on the battle for Crater Lake park, practically single handed. And when the infant had been bom, so to speak, there was the even more difficult task of keeping it alive. There are probably some senators and congressmen alive today, who can recall the younger Will Steel, who button holed and belabored the key men in Washington, to secure the appropriations necessary to build a decent road to Crater Iake. and secure the creature comforts for those who travelled there. The-: was nothing dreamy or impractical about Will, then or later, when the wherewithal for his "brain child" was con cerned. The skill of his approach and the effectiveness of his sales talk, would have made a veteran lobbyist of the U. S. sugar trust envious. And that unusual combination in his character, the poet and the dreamer, the fighter and the worker; no doubt explains why Will Steel enjoyed that rare satisfaction, enjoyed by so few in this mad scramble called life to dream dreams, and live to see them realized, to be satisfied with life, because he dis covered and NOT too late what the lasting satisfactions in 1 life REALLY arcl Unfortunately wt have not yet dis covered a vitamin that prevent a credulous gink from developing Into a wiseacre, a nut or nlnnyhammer. But we know a vitamin ration la fine medicine for the w., n. or n. when he has acquired general autoavlta-j mlnoals by mon-! keying with hi diet for a year or two, j Persons with gastric or duod ennl ulcer, mucous or ulcerative col itis, and one or another type of "In digestion," cultivate all sorts of freakish notions about diet and In many Instances greatly prolong their Illness or retard recovery by develop ing avltamlnosis thru ill-advised diet ary restrictions. Mucous colitis, so-called, la not a pathological entity at all, but merely a suggestive name for a common complaint of wiseacres or ninyham mers who have long abused their alimentary organs with physic or enemas. These nuta generally harbor strong obsessions against cellulose. fibre, roughage, coarse foods. They have been educated that way by old fossil physicians and mall-order char latans. Of all the nuts an honest doctor has to deal with, these are the nuttiest. They Invariably think they know more than the country doctor knows, and that Is why the charlatnn gets them sooner or later. The charlatan, you see, always has some new gadget or method which la step ahead of the wiseacre's pro found knowledge of pathological and therapeutic matters. That holds 'em. There are only two ways to treat there sophisticated ones. You must either play the quack to them or knock them unconscious and then let nature take Its course. As soon as you get that Introspective mind off from the colon or the liver or what ever It may be, recovery sets In, pro vided you keep careful watch and prevent any further interference with nostrums, funny diets or morbid in testinal "baths." In any case where a patient has se lected his own diet or long avoided this and that type of food which he considered "difficult to digest" or "full of gas" or "acid" or likely, to "autointoxication," more or less av! tamlnosls Is bound to develop, and so It Is exceedingly helpful for such persons to take a moderate vitamin ration from time to time, especially when they are resting from other trentment. One can mix one's own vitamin ration, with a dash of this and that vitamin concentrate, but this Is rath er troublesome and expensive. It Is simpler and satisfactory to choose one of the vitamin combinations for the purpose, McCarrlaon observed a striking ab fcence of gastric and duodenal ulcer and appendicitis among the natives in the Himalayas and ascribed It to their vttamln-rlch food -milk, eggs, fresh vegetables and greens. There are now many observations from clinical practice to support the belief that an adequate vitamin ra tion ts valuable If not essential for the cure of peptic ulcer and perhaps for the prevention of other common digestive diseases. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Curves In Wrong Place. I am a girt 14 years old and have been unable to make the acquaint ance of several people because of my bow legs. Do you happen to know of some physician or surgeon who could straighten my legs at least a little? (K. M. C.) Answer Only operation on the bones will straighten bow legs In a person over 6 years of age. I will be glad to send by letter the name and address of a competent, reliable or thopedic surgeon. Beware of the fak ers who promise to straighten bow legs with trick gadgets. Black and Tan. I have a pet black and tan terrier. He Is kept carefully cleaned and groomed. Sometimes he sleeps on my bed. Recently my brother and I had a streptococcus throat Infection and our physician said the dog may have been the carrier. The dog has not been 111 at all. (O. W.) Answer It Is not unreasonable. Once we found a positive diphtheria culture In the throat of a dog that had the run of a hospital where diph theria broke out from time to time. If lnsests, rodents and birds can carry Infection, surely cats and dogs may. Itching Stopped. We are all great followers of your column.

By FRANK JENKINS YOU'VE heard the song line that runs:' "How deep la the ocean; how high U the skyf Here Is another one: How heavy Is anowf The answer Is that It's a lot heavier than you think. TP AT Crater Lake the other flay, w Acting Superintendent Dave Canfleld showed this writer the framework of a tent-house, with a 3x4 along the top supported by 3x4 uprights spaced 18 Inches apart. This framework was left out winter before last, which was a winter ot heavy snowfall. The weight of the snow broke the 3x4 between the 18-nch sup porting uprights as cleanly as if It had been smashed down with a powerful hydraulic press. I TP BY the cafeierta building is a J storehouse that faces a pecul iar snow condition. The wind whips the snow away from one side or the house and piles , It heavily on top and on the other side. The weight of the snow on top and on one side, without support from the other side, la steadily pushing the building over, In spite of careful bracing. Corrugated Iron garbage cans, left tipped over on one side through the winter, are mashed almost flat. YOU'VE noticed the high, pointed roofs of the buildings at the park. They are built In this way in order to be able to support as well as possible the weight of winter snow. If you will look over the new administration building that ts near lng completion, you will see a fine example of the heavy construction needed to bear up this weight ox snow. This heavy construction of course, means a considerable added burden of cost for the buildings. INCIDENTALLY, you wilt learn something Interesting If you can get the opportunity to go all over the administrative establishment. Crater Lake national park is a very considerable community In itself, with practically everything on hand to supply a good-sized town. In the summer season, it means an other fatr-slsed city set down in Southern Oregon. Last summer, for example, more than a thousand people were em ployed at the park In all the var ious services. Including highway con struction. That would be a good-sized pay roll In any man's town. THE snow piles up high on the buildings In the winter. The bears walk over the snow. And when ever bears find a window with food back of it, they go into action. When a full-grown bear goes into action against a window, something BREAKS. A year or ao ago the bears broke through a window of a building In which food supplies for the park rangers were stored. And was that building a mess when they got through) Included in the food supplies were cans of honey, and these the bears had broken open with teeth and claws. The rangers had spent a lot of time during the summer collect ing seeds of flowers, and the sacks In which these were contained were torn open and the seeds scattered from one end of the building to the other. I TP IN the park, stories about the w bears are legion. Hare Is a rather good one: They found a bear one winter evening high up In a Jack pine tree and started photographing him In order to Induce him to pose better, one man climbed the tree behind him. About the tlme he got well up. another bear came along and climb ed the tree behind the man. So there he was between two bears, one above and one below. He solved the problem by Jump ing out of the tree Into the deep snow, going clear under. - BUT the bears are among the lead ing tourist attractions of the park, so their mischief Is put up with and they are encouraged in stead of discouraged. They are In creasing rather rapidly, and whereas It was hard to see one or two a few years ago It is now comparative ly easy to see a doecn.

(Associated Press Photo. ANNUAL NAVY DAY TO BE OBSERVED ON OCTOBER 27TH Navy Day, which is annually observ ed on October 37, the birthday of Theodore Roosevelt, is the navy's day "at homo" both ashore and afloat. Navy yards and other shore estab lishments, as well as naval vessels are open to Inspection by the public, and all citizens In position to avail themselves of the opportunity, are urged to visit naval ships and shore stations. The day was designed to better acquaint, the American people with the mission and needs of their navy, and, as Theodore Roosevelt was to the end of his days a champion and patron of the navy, It Is fitting that his birth date should be honored In thla manner. With the close approach of Navy day the following excerpts from an ad dress of the Honorable H. L. Rooie velt, assistant secretary of the navy, are deemed appropriate: "The navy of today consists of many types, each planned and constructed for a specific mission, and the whole assembly of types coordinated and administered towards the accomplish ment of the great mission of the navy our national defense along such lines as our national policies and requirements Indicate. "In the navies of the world the principal types are: First, the bat tleships, the ships with heavy guns and heavy armor, the weapons of de cision In every Important naval en counter then the heavy and light cruisers designed for speed and han dlness, and held available for scout ing and for the protection of mer chant shipping and patrolling of sea lanes, with sufficient gun power to enable them to give a proper account of themselves In case of engagement with ships less powerful than battle ships; then the destroyers, faster and lighter than the cruisers, carrying tor pedoes as their principal weapons, and operating at sea as the light forces of the great fleet: aircraft carriers, which transport groups of airplanes for observation and scouting, for bombing operations, and for aerial combat: and the submarines, for thd extension of operations, either offen sively or deflnslvely, beneath the surface- of the sea. "To these, principal combatant types are added, also, the mine lay ers and mine sweepers, the repair ahlps tli at acompany the fleet, the hospital, ships, and the very neces sary fuel and supply ships all group ed under the classification of the! Fleet Train. "Behind the forces afloat, as or ganized, there stands the naval shore establishment: the navy wards and naval bases, whose task Is mainten ance, upkeep and supply for the ahlps at sea. and In which at least half of our new ships are being built. AU this is material. Behind and over and through it live the officers and men of the naval service who make the whole thing go. 'This brief outline marks the growth of 130 years of development. It Is a far cry from the few and scattered frigates of the Revolution, which were the first to fly the Stsra and Stripes on salt water to the fleet of today, which represents In its con struction the ultimate triumph of a scientific ase. A ship grows old. be comes obsolete, and Is no longer cap able of performing her assigned mis sion.
