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.

Earl Huntley, Boom Day
Realtor, Notes Changes
On Return to Medford
After an absence of over twenty
years, Earl Huntley paid a brief visit
to Medford today. 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. Other
guests were Earl Newbry of Talent,
At Hanson of the Eugcno Active club ,
and Monty Round tree of this city.
During the business session the fol
lowing committees were appointed to
function during the remainder of
the year: Entertainment, Hary El

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.

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.
Three of the five Mississippi con
testants were running a close race on
the basis of Incomplete returns, with
Huffh White, millionaire lumberman,

supported the candidacy of Johnson.
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.

the continuity of the life and soul of
men. He discouraged the production
of any type of passionate literature.
"When we do a wonc In literature we
must do It with a thought of man
and God," he said, and In speaking
at length of the stories, tradition and
history of Panama and the canal, said
that writers may do even a greater
work than the engineering feat ac

ODF TO CRATER LIKE
(By Geraldlne F. 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.
