OREGON, SUNDAY, AUGUST II, 1940 T TRAIL TO LAKES IS SUGGESTED Road Traverses Vast Forest Return Trip Via Pros pect And Trail. By Karl Janouch. You are invited to go to the land of the South Fork of the Rogue, a land of streams bub bling from forested mountain:, of ri-ers flowing within vine clad banks flanked by age-old conifers, and of azure blue lakes nestling under snow capped peaks, each abounding with wily eastern brook and cutthroat trout: a land that is truly a fish erman's paradise. Start in the crisp air of early morning with a long, free day ahead, and travel east on Main street to the Crater Lake high way. Follow the highway across the valley and at 32.7 miles you cross the railroad and enter the town of Butte Falls. Keep ing on the main street through town, at 33.3 miles you come to the Butte Falls Ranger sta tion of the Rogue River national forest. Driving into the gate to your right, go into the office and ask the ranger for informa tion about your trip. You note the prosperous appearance of the little mountain town and learn that in 1905 a lumber mili was constructed near the falls for which the town is named, establishing this as the center of logging industry which it re mains today. In 191 1 the railroad to Medford was constructed, so that logs could be hauled to the mill at Medford. The old abandoned mill still stands near the falls.! The ranger will point out on the map the route he advises you to take to the South Fork area which is in good condition with the exception of about five miles, which are rather narrow and rough. Leaving Butte Falls, you come to Butte creek and to the state and federal fish hatcheries to your right, which supply all the fish for re-stocking of the many mountain streams and lakes; helping to make this wonderland of yours the fisherman's paradise it is. At 47.1 miles you come onto a good road and find that you are at Lodgepole Guard station. Driving on past the station, you will notice to the left the trail leading to the Rustler Peak look out. Passing through a heavy stand of sugar pines, an easy climb takes you to another for est sentinel on guard against the ever-present enemy fire. At 49.3 miles you commence to see many slender, tall trees with the distinctive light bark of the white pine, and reflect that while this is the most valuable commercially of any coniferous tree in the forest, it is also the most beautiful. In another half-mile you reach the Lower South Fork forest camp, where you may find a family who say that they have been camped there for two weeks and have caught trout each day. You drop down on the road to the South Fork of Rogue river, the first of the many fishing streams you shall now find. Here fishermen's paths lead up and down the river, providing access to num erous eddies and riffles. You cross the bridge, and at 50.1 miles reach a road to the left which goes to Imnaha and Pros-pect. Keeping to the right, at 50.2 miles you will observe to your icit a sign designating the trail to Seven Lakes. Six miles along this well-graded trail by foot or horseback brings you to these takes, which offer probably the best trout fishing in southern Urcgon. The scenery at these lakes is as beautiful as any that can be found in the ever-beautiful Cas cades. A short distance from the lakes is the Devil's Peak lookout, and from there another trail leads down to the Klamath Basin. From this forest look out the lake-dotted terrain nf the Cascade divide and neigh boring slopes may be viewed. but this is a one-day motor trip and you must forbear start ing up the trail to the lakes. A little way farther you cross Pig Ben creek one of the clear mountain streams offerine trout fishing and then you come to an area of b!owdown where the timber was uprooted and cast to the ground by a heavy wind storm in 1925. You can see II - W Li h HER ) J i$pVW FORK J WEJLE POtNT MEDFORD flrZ2Sg- jtm c.j, j. ' ies ii. - SOUTH FORK OF ROGUE RIVER All mileages from Med ford: A Lodgepole Guard Station. 47 miles.

OPENING PLAYS IN FESTIVAL SERIES PLEASE AUDIENCE Births Born to Mr. and Mrs. Fred Westcott of route 3, Eagle Point, a girl weighing eight pounds, eight and a half ounces, Satur day morning. August 10, at the Community hospital. Rustler Peak to your right andj Luther mountain on the Cascade divide to your left. You pass Wickiup forest camp, cross Wickiup creek and again enter a virgin evergreen wilderness. At 54.3 miles you come to the Upper South Fork forest camp, again on the banks of the South Fork of Rogue river, turn harp )y to your left and enter the camp. Leave your family to enjoy the cool shade, and sepa rate so that each of you may try his own skill with the trout. If you fish up-stream, return to the camp on the Blue Can yon trail. Then the fish are siz zling over the rock fireplace and lunch is spead on the rustic log tables. All too soon you realize that der-high brush. Above the brush in straight rows the tops of young ponderosa pine trees planted in 1925 can be seen, and reflect that the brush, while apparently valueless, has in fact been of great value in protect ing these seedlings while they were small, and that as the young trees grow they will form a canopy overhead and crowd out the brush. You come back to Medford on the Crater Lake highway, noting the familiar beautiful scenes along the Rogue river and the fishermen casting for steeihead in the early evening shadows, remembering that this too is part of the fishermen's paradise which you so well en joyed today. Leaving the river it is time to return home. You at Shady Cove, you are attract- have reached the southern limit ed by the rugged pattern of of fishermen's paradise; youj could continue straight ahead past Parker Meadows and Blue Rock back to Butte Falls, but you may want to return through Prospect, so start back the way you came. j At 58.5 you have again reach ed the junction of the Prospect and Lodgepole roads, and turn right toward Imnaha and Pros-: pect. You continue to cross i trout streams at 58.7 miles there are Nichols creek and a forest camp; at 61.4 miles Sump ter creek and at 62.1 miles Spring and Whitman creeks, just a few feet apart. You are now passing through valuable cattle range the luscious forage you see will be welcome to those white-faced cattle you passed on the road. At 62.5 miles you cross Wallowa creek and find service berry, also called June berry, chinquapin and hazelnut bushes in abundance. At 63.5 miles you reach Imnaha guard station, and you may stop for a smoke and chat with the guard. He will point out the trail to Bessie Rock lookout, and say that two and one-ha!f miles up this trail is the Middle Fork of the Rogue river and excellent fishing. Continue on the same road and at 66 miles you come to the South Fork dam where the South Fork of Rogue river and Imnaha creek converge; the area is on privately owned land and the dam is one of the series of developments of the California Oregon Power company for the generating of electricity. Walk down the trail to the dam and note the good fishing possibil ities in the stream. Above the roar of the water, explain to your companions that one of the reasons for protecting the timbered areas you have seen today from fire is that they are indispensable to the power in dustry, for denuded hilisidts soon result in dry streams when there is no forest cover to hold back the winter moisture. And so, you carefuly tramp in the dust the cigarette you have been smoking as you stand by the I river, that no spark may acci dentally be blown to ignite the dry grass through which you return to your car. Next you come to an area hnrnfrf nvpr hv th fir nf IQlft now densely covered with ihoul- i mountains surrounding you, and then by the mosaic pattern of orchards, meadows and pastures blending into the residential dis trict of your beloved city, bring ing this Rogue Wonderland to your very doorsteps. ROUND UP AIDES FILL UP ON GRUB About 85 hungry persons swarmed into the fairgrounds ball park Friday evening to make away with a tremendous amount of sizzling steaks, beans, biscuits, coffee and watermelon. The occasion was the buckaroo chuck wagon dinner staged by sponsors of the Medford Round up Days rodeo slated for Au gust 17 and IS, Among the notables attend ing the feed were Mayor C. C. Furnas, County Agent Robert Fowler, Capt. Lee M. Bown of the state police. City Policemen Ray Sloneker and Clyde Ficht- ner, Charley Reed of Reed's saddlery at Klamath Falls, a group of men representing Sher iff Syd I. Browns posse, and many directors of the Medford Athletic association. Eight pretty entrants in the rodeo queen contest were also on hand.

Also entered in the contest, but not present at the dinner, were Babe Harmon, Harriet Sparrow, Betty Carman, Ellen Tice, Jerry Bunch and an entrant sponsored by the Ash land Trailriders. The ghost of William Shakes peare, smiling down from his literary Valhalla, must have been highly pleased with the results of the premiere opening of the sixth annual Shakes pearean Festival in Ashland Friday night, for first-nighters witnessed a smooth and flaw less performance. A packed house greeted the "Merry Wives of Windsor," first of four plays j to be given "under the stars in j the outdoor civic Elizabethan j theatre" through Saturday. Au- j gust 17. Saturday evening's perform- j ance of "Much Ado About Noth- j ing" equalled the opening night in both attendance, style of presentation and favorable re- j action. No play has been sched- j uled for this evening. Next I production, "The Comedy of: Errors" will be Monday, start-: ing at 8:30 p. m. From the initial reception, the modernization theme stressed in this year's repertoire has been enthusiastically received. Audi ences delighted in the smooth progress of the sequences, the brisk comedy situations and the dramatic high-lights. Both "The Merry Wives" and "Much Ado," the latter entirely rewritten and revised this year by Dorothy Pruitt, brought rounds of ap plause throughout the showings. Elaborate costumes by Lois M. Bowmer brought much favor able comment from spectators. Director William David Cot trell expressed himself as being ! highly pleased with the results of the first two nights. Not withstanding the fact that the two showings were completely favorable, be has scheduled line rehearsals for this afternoon and evening to iron out any "rough spots" which might cause dif ficulty. Theatergoers who missed the first two nights will still have an opportunity to view all four plays. Both "The Merry Wives" ana iuuen ftoo will oe re peated this week, along with two showings each of "The Comedy of Errors" and "As You Like It."
