Few Crater Lake Visitors
Know Interesting History
Of Sculptured Rock Lady
After 91 yew the La4y of the Woodi remains enveloped In mystery,
lew of the thousand! who view It every week knowing the origin or the
beginning of this woman sculptured In itone In Crater Lake national
park.
Poenu, letter and newspaper article! have been written over the years
bout the mystic Lady of the Woods, the Impressions made upon th"
viewers being aa varied as the park visitors are numerous. Clippings and
letters are still being received by the sculptor,
The story behind the Lmoy of thei
Woods was told 13 years ago In a lit
tle pamphlet by William Oladatone
Steel, now deceased, who la known as
the "father of Crater lake."
Doctor Was Hculptor
The sculptor was Dr. Earl RuAboll
Bush, now associate medical director
of the Western 6c Southern Life In-
aurance company, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Back In 1S17 Dr. Bush was surgeon
at Crater Lake national park when
the U. 8. engineers were constructing
a system of roads. The doctor visited
tbe various camps In the park to
take care of the men'a health.
"In doing ao," Mr. Steel wrote In
his pamphlet, "he conceived a deep
seated love for the lake and Its en
virons. Being a lover of nature and
having by reason of training and de
velopment a deep Interest in natural
laws, he found thla virgin country
a great Inspiration and food for much
thought, The profound Impression
made upon him by the wilderness in
creased until after the season was
well advanced the desire came to
put Into definite form some of the
emotions that had been aroused
first Attempt
Seeking to portray the fecundity
of a wilderness, which, though to the
casual observer may seem quiet,
elusive and unvarying, la nevertheless
teeming with millions of different
forms of life, he finally decided to
attempt the sculpture of a figure In
atone. Although he had never at
tempted modeling or sculpturing In
any form It so happened that his In
spiration could best be portrayed by
the human figure, with which as
doctor ha was well acquainted. Wan
dering at random through the forest
he finally found a rock that Veraoo
to fit his purpose. He then called on
William Ivy, the government black
smith, who wot an expert In hand
ling steel, and persuaded him to make
a set of sculpturing chisels.
"The season waa well spent and it
was October 4 before he actually com
menced his work. Anxious to com
plete as much of It as possible he
labored continuously each day, with
out model or drawing, until compell
ed to stop by the necessity of break
ing camp on October 19. Further de
lay In the face of the coming winter
waa unaafe.
"Although unfinished, the doctor's
work nevertheless carries with It thr
great Inspiration which must have
been his, and which was the force
that made successful a difficult task
with which he was entirely unac
quainted. While he sought to portray
sleeping life, natural beauty and
peaoeul solitude in the scluptured
figure of the most beautiful of God's
oreatures, he succeeded In portraying
numerous other motives which have
occurred to Individuals who have vis
ited the spot. Unknowingly thta fig
ure In stone has been given some of
the grace of the Sleeping Ariadne, the
sleeping beauty of the days of Caes
ar Augustus. All who look upon thta
tribute to the forest linger to admire,
and leave with thoughts of gratitude
to the silent, ever-present power that
directs the human mind In myster
ious ways. As the years Tow silently ;
by It will grow In the public estima
tion, perhaps become a shrine. How
happy the man must be who can pass
down to the ages an Inspiration like
thla. uplifting and sublime, stimula
ting others to attempt In turn an
expression of unborn though to."

Looked across the lessor mountains,
Heard the soaring eagles' call.
Royal robes of pine and hemlock,
Decked with laurel, oak and fir,
Dwelling place of nymph and dryad
Red men worshlpt from afar.
Ventured not too near the fastness
Where the Sacred Beings dwelt,
Looked with awe upon Mazama,
Looked with awe, and humbly
knelt.
"Mong the nymphs was one so lovily
All the creatures of the wild
Watched with wonder unabated.
Knew her aa the Goddess-Child.
Small and graceful, full of laughter
Knew her power, and loved It well,
Saw the love of Rogue-the-Falr god.
Loved him, too, but would not toll;
Hoard him plead, and coldly ans
wered, Laughed, and cooly turned away;
"Yea, my Rogue," her heart made
answer,
"Yea, my love, but not today."
Vain and selfish In her beauty.
Heeded not his wooing song.
Nor his plea for her surrender.
Mocking at his love so strong.
Rogue, the favored of the high gocmi
Angry they to see him spurned,
Oreat the vengeance of the high oni.
High, and higher, anger burned;
Yearned they to destroy the beauty
Of that lofty mountain home,
Longed to hush the careless laughter
Of the goddess, Heart-of-Stone.
Now within Mar.ma's caverns
Livid fires and gaaaes rolled
Forcing high a lava fountain.
Molten terror, uncontrolled:
Swelled and burst In wild upheaval.
Rocked the far Pacific shore.
Thundered thru thta land primeval,
And Mnrama was no more.
Where It stood In guardian splendor
Yawned a crater, wide and deep;
Qone. the forest, gone, Ita creature.
Desolate the ruins sleep;
Sleep till Manltou In mercy
Clothes once more the mlffhtv

With the waterfall that leaps.
Green the forest, gone the dryads.

BILL BACKED BY
