PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBTJKE, MEDFOKD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1935. TRIP 10 CRATER WONDERFUL. SAY VISITING WRITERS Br Maude K. Tool 'Oh, this Is too wonderful. I'm o glad, so glad to have seen It." was the simple, yet sincere, sentiment ex pressed by a member of the League cf Western Writers visiting Crater lAke yesterday, which Is character istic of the general opinion of the 40 writers visiting the lake on the courtesy tour on the opening day of the convention here. "Pictures can't do the lake Itself Justice, but there are things that pictures don't show; the surprise glimpses, the grouping of buildings, a little assembly of people standing without thought of themselves," was the opinion of Airs. Anna V. Nelson of Salem, who writes marvelous po etry for the sheer pleasure of com posing. Some marveled at the grandeur of trees "marching down to the line" In front of the lodge, at the "blissful blue." the "rippling purple' manifest in the late afternoon, "Crater Lake is worth looking at repeatedly." Dr. P. O. Frankln of Salem remarked, having visited It 17 years ago when not all cars and roads were dependable. Dr. Franklin was In charge of the Willamette university library for 17 years. For three years he was reference librarian, and now Is retired. "I'm starting my long va cation now, and I want to live 60 years yet to see the outcome of this political squabble, to see whether Huey Long becomes dictator or Upton Sinclair." Dr. Franklin, who haa traveled In the Orient, readily Im parts of his knowledge, and has a flalre for technicalities, amusing his listeners by relating the pounds of spider web required to encircle the earth. He possesses a watch received In 1886 which winds with a kej. His grandfather traded a horse to the vil lage grocer for the timepiece, be said. The visitors were overjoyed at the welcome extended by a native park re ception committee of three cub bears and their mother wM h appeared Just outside the entrnncc. Spending an hour at Crater Lake, the caravan returned via Diamond Lake, and was In readiness for the 7 o'clock chicken dinner at the Grieve hotel at Prospect. Medford people Joining the group there were Mrs. J. L. Adams and sons and A. V. Graves. Although writers were frank ly admitted to be queer, all guests displayed a genuine Interest In the bountiful repast. C. E. ("Pop") Gates of this city readily admitted his par tiality to hot biscuits. The dinner hour was a time for getting acquainted and renewing ac quaintances made at former conven tions. Judge L. D. Mahone, presi dent, announced the probability of a courtesy, trip to Oregon Caves Sat urday. Following the dinner an old-fash-toned danco was enjoyed for a short period at the community hall, adding to the rustle atmosphere of the dHy. Before Joining the dancers Judge Ma hone, grasping the "olden" spirit of the evening, asked for witness to his "X" on the hotel register, remarking his Inability to write his name. Music for the dance was supplied by the Prospect boys under the su pervision of Dcwel Htll. famed as "Prospect's hired man," who proudly admitted his orchestra had never practiced together. Ed Hollenbeck, old-time quadrille caller, called for the square dances. The 14 Oranges of Jackson county will hold a picnic Sunday, August 31, at the MrrLeod camp ground. The camp Is one-eighth of a mile north of the MrLeod bridge and a sign Is In plain sight on the right hsnd side of the road. The Pomona H. E. chairman, Mrs. H. Conger, requests her four helpers. Mrs. E. Taylor. Mrs. T. Taylor. Mrs. WhetAtone and Mrs. Prink, to be present to help prrpare the tables, and that all attending bring banket lunches and table service. George Wendt. Victor Burwll and Mrs. Maust have planned a program of recrea tion and a good time Is assured all those attending. 4 Building Permits Permit granted yesterday to N. H.

Back In the boom days Earl waa In the real estate busi ness, and when the boom bursted he Joined several other bright young men and hopped the Shasta for Los An geles. There he also entered the real es tate and brokerage business, widened his operations to the banking and brokerage business, and Is today one of the leading flguros In business and financial circles of the California me tropolis. He was glad to get back to Med ford. He waa Impressed with many changes and all for the better the many shade trees and the green grass and the green fields In mid summer particularly pleased him. When Ear left here there was np Irrigation, no "mountain spring In every home," few green lawns and practically no shade trees. He was also Impressed with the new buildings or said be was. When It comes to buildings Earl knows his onions, for ha is half own er of the finest office building In L. A., constructed, moreover, during the depression. It Is twelve stories high, the offices are constructed of hard wood and marble, there is Ice water on tap, and every suite Is alr condltloned the only completely air conditioned office building of Its size on the Pacific coast. That business Is better In L. A. Is demonstrated by the fact that this building Is well filled only three vacant office In the entire structure. That Is Earl's story, too, but In spite of his long Olen Fabrlck waa appointed general chairman In charge of arrangements for Active International convention, which Is scheduled to be held here next year, at a regular meeting of Medford Active club last night. He announces that he will appoint his committees In the near future. Five guests were present at the meeting, some of whom spoke brief ly to the chib members. Erwln Doty, member of Boy Scout troop 10. spon sored by the club, gave a short talk on the Boy Scouts' trip to the na tional Jamboree ai Washington. Doty la making the trip as a representative of troop IS. Bill Bowerman, former member of the Portland Active club who will assume duties this fntl as athletics coach at Medford high school, gave a short talk In which he outlined the, prospecta for this year's teams.

Thursday or Friday afternoon between 3 and 4 o'clock so that the committee will know how many there will be to come. FABRlGK TO HEAD ARRANGEMENT OE ACTIVIANCONFAB 1111 I v v.. residence In Los Angelas he never In dulges In hot air. Earl was accompanied by Mrs. Huntley, and after visiting friends to day they will continue their motor Jaunt northward early tomorrow morning. They planned to take the boat trip from L. A. to Seattle and did come up as far as San Francisco on an Italian freighter. They chose the freighter because it wouldn't roll like the Ruth Alexander. But It rolled enough to Get Earl down, and out. He decided to land at the Gol den Gate or as near It as possible but found It was easier to get ON one of Mussolini's boats than OFF. He finally had to wire Senator Mc Adoo and the secretary of state to get himself, wife and car on dry and firm land again. Earl aays he might go to Europe again but the Pacific, Including Honolulu, la out. While not speaking for publication on politics. Earl had no objection to saying that he wished the administra tion would pay a little less attention to big business and a little more to crime and particularly the legal pro fession. "Reform were needed," said he, "and many have been made, but nothing has been done about clean ing up the legal racketeers and shys ters. I would suggest the govern- ment lay off legitimate business for a while and get busy with the crooked lawyers. They are chiefly re sponsible for these delays In Justice, increase in crime, which in turn have stimulated lynching. It makes me hopping mad when I think of it." Earl got out and away before we could auk him how many lawyers he nad in nia office building. R. W. R. NEW DEAL LOSES TO E (Continued from ege One.) In Washington, members of con greaa and political leaders watched the results of the voting closely, but few commented Immediately. How ever, Senator Hastings of Delaware, head of the Republican senatorial campaign committee, had this to say: "The election 1 Phone Island shows that when the American peo ple find that American principles and American liberties are In danger, they stand ready to crush those who are responsible for putting them in a dangeroua position." Mississippi Vote Close. In other elections yesterday, fire candidates fought It out for the gub ernatorial nomination In Mississippi's Democratic primary and Virginia Democrat balloted for candidates to the state legislature.

PEARTRESSURE TESTS READY Pear growers wishing to have pres sure tests for maturity made on their pears should bring samples to the county agent's office, states C. B. Cordy, assistant county spent. In order to obtain a reliable test, the grower should select ten or twelve fruits of picking sire from trees In various parts of the orchard, Thece fruits should he picked early In the morning and tested as soon after ward as possible. Avoid selecting ex tra ripe fruits. This test is valuable In determin ing the maturity of the pear and date for the development of best I quality. .i mm. in,-,, i Mm , -n Tiff.. ....nir-fN TOLD AUTHORS BY F. N. H.

Adams.) Thou great blue bed of water, Resting in the mountain top. Where erery near-by living thing And every tourist etop To marvel at you there. Surely we're not meant to look At you with Just our eyes, At the blending of your color With the verdure and the aklet, And not grasp your appeal. I know you're not Just there to thrill. To cause men to wonder at you. To inspire artists by the score To try to duplicate your hue; Your purpose Is even more. I understand your language. You're appealing to thousands of souls To strive to adopt your example, To Imitate you in life's roles; When wlli they answer your call? You're bearing a wonderful message Directly from God up above. You exemplify truth In your depth of blue. You teach us of harmony, peace and love; For thy mystic appeal I thank you! To You, Oregonl Oregon Your green hills call to me; Your mountain peaks say "Cornel" Your evergreens. And mountain stream Are calling, ever, "Come!" Oregon There may be states with claim of fairer climes, More sunshine, and less rain But none to me Can quite compare With your superb domain. MAURINE MOORE. Hlllsboro, Ore. . 4 .
