Arch Work, department of mgrtcul
turs Irrigation engineer, attached to
the Medford experimental orchaid.
and Alvln Copeland, Fort Klamv.U
trapper and guide, on a tnow -measuring
trip last week to Seven Lakes in
the heart or the southern Oregon Cat
cades, avoided a night of exposure in
zero weather by digging a tunnel, 12
feet in length, through 20 feet of
snow, to a snow-burled cabin.
Work, regional director of snow cov
erage measuring, and Copeland, head
ed for the cabin, built and stocked
wltb food last fall as a snow-meat'ir-
Ing station at Seven Lakes, Whin
they arrived late last Friday afternoon
In the general - vicinity, they came
upon a silent, snowy waste, with tut
a sign of the cabin, Before depart
ing last autumn, when the cabin ww
built, Work had a worker climb a treo
and hang a shovel from a limb, 2
feat from the ground. In the fast
gathering dusk, the pair located the
tre with a scant two feet of the shovel
handle protruding from the snow.
Then with Joined anow-meaiurlrv;
tubes they poked In the snow until
they found the cabin roof, and tun
neled to the lone door of the cabin,
and shelter for the night from polar
temperatures.
Work congratulated himself on bla
foresight In hanging the shovel from
the tree limb, and recalled that tb
worker at the time objected to hang
ing It so high. The shovel was tha
only Implement they possessed to dig
to the cabin, after they had prospect
ed and located It.
Inside the cabin there was food and
wood, but It waa necessary to poke
the snow away that had lodged 'n
the chimney before a fire would burn
In the stove.
After a comfotabm nlgbt and com
pletion of snow measurements, lor
which they had made the hazardous
trip on snowshoes, Work and Cope
land returned last Saturday to Fort
Klamath. I

Life Insurance Companies
In Able Guardianship
of Investments . . .
EaRNING-POWER WITH SAf ETY" . . .
That's the final test of the strength and stewardship of
any life insurance company.
Only 41 of the 323 legal reserve life insurance com
panies in the United States have as much insurance in
force as California-Western States Life, and yet, accord
ing to their latest reports, only 7 of these 41 leaders
earned as much on their assets.
Again in 1935 this leading Western company was out
in front with an impressive net interest yield of 4.04.
When you realize that the law restricts all life insurance
companies to the same type of conservative invest
ments, and when you know that 16.9 of the assets of
California-Western States Life
consist of Cash and U. S. Gov
ernment Bonds , . . then this
outstanding record of invest
ment management assumes its
true significance. mm
