. miles.
i No tour or Oregon can be
complete uathout touching at
. fthat phenomenon of nature
- (known the world over as Crat
jer Lake. Let ft b reported
" (here, finally and irrevocably
- that Crater Lake is not in Cal-
jffornia. We reached it by driv-
png north from Ashland.
And a very pleasant drive it
was on warm, sunny morn-
ing. There are several camp
ing spots along th stretch of
state Highway No. (2 between
.Wedford nd Crat Lake
Park.
t On the way v toooed for

1 As for tie lake itsetf. this
matured wonder oi the Oregon
aoes is really beyond any
escnption. It is even bluer
the photographs m the
tjonal slicks.
As a result, it has attracted
mterstete travelers who
ve time to spare to leave the
am routes. We were lucky
have a suggestion from the
superintendent. Thomas
Williams, that we make
earep on Lost Creek, on the
, spar of the now tightly-dosed
: tfast Entrance highway.
Iciwfc Otas Ideal
Ik o
if ar the overnight camper
who complains that the orda
pary public campground packs
lamuies more tightly thai a
veterans subdivision, the Lost
Caeek camp is an ideal van
tage point from which to enjoy
Crater Lake. We spent one rest
day there, just three miles
from the Rim drive around the
lake and only 13 miles from the
Rim Village, at which are lo
cated such facilities of eivfliza
tion as the celebrated Crater
Lake lodge, a cafeteria which
serves as a warming hut right
through the winter of 20-foot
snowfalls, the more congested
campgrounds, and other post
card features or tne crater s
rim.
We were treated to a 36-mile
circumference of the Rim
drive under the personal guid
a nee of District Chief Ranger
Robert R. (Slim) Mabery.
There we saw the first bull
dozer bites in the national park
service's "Mission 66 to im
prove tourist facilities. There
will be, by the 1958 summer
vacation season, a series of a
half dozen new picnic sites
around the beautifully-surfaced
Rim drive.
Mission 68, which k the fed
eral government's propaganda
term for its long over-due pro
gram to rehabilitate the na
tional parks, has taken notice
of the shortage of overnight ac
commodations at Crater Lake.
A spacious new campground
and a trailer park were, in
August, 1957, nearing comple
tion just southeast of the South
Entrance on state highway No.
62. By this summer there will
be scores of comfortable camp
ing spaces at this site (the
Mazama campground serviced
by bard-surfaced roads and the
most modern arodliary build
ings (showers, laundry, toilet
facilities).
We daresay that there will
stiM be a number of campers
who, -as we, will still prefer
the remote exdusiveness of the
Lost Creek camp, where the
eight sites existing in the sum
mer of 1957 will be increased
to IS by this summer season.
Here, far off the beaten path.
the son shines benignly on the
pine forest; Lost Creek sup
plies a challenging, if not rich
ly-infested 'fishery; and there
is scarcely ever the sound of
an exhaust. . .
Foarth Day To Hart
tain, via Klamath Falls, Mer-
rffl, Lakeview and Plash 276
This was the fourth day of
travel. Our eight-days-around-the-ctate
can (we proved it)
be executed in that time or
even less. It is entirely possible
to circwmiavigate the state in
one week's vacation. But the
vacationist with two weeks can

enjoy a rest now and then as
we did the day before this es
pecially if he has a vacation
trailer, such as the 15-foot
Jewell model furnished to us
by trailer dealer Everett
Spencer of Portland.
We strike off now into east
ern Oregon and the big, vacant
places on the road map.
The highway from Klamath
Falls through Lakeview is fast
and carefree. At the latter
junction we debated the ad
visability of traveling an extra
150 hard-surfaced miles
through Burns in order to
reach Frenchglen; but, finally,
decided on the direct route
over the Hart Mountain plat
eau.
The road from Lakeview to
Adel, through the Warner Can
yon winter sports area and
along well-fished Camas Creek,
is a good one, the last paved
road we were to feel in nearly
a day.
Plash Still Dnplosh
Norm from Adel to Plush, the
way skirts the marshy shores
of Pelican, Crump and Hart
lakes, jewels hi the Warner
lake chain which lies at the
base of Hart Mountain. These
and the often-dry beds of Blue
joint. Stone, Flagstaff, Mug
wump, Campbell and Anderson
lakes are what remain of the
massive Lake Warner, which
perhaps 10,000 years ago
spread over the valley .
Plush. Tumpmg-orr point ior
the Hart Mountain trek, was,
according to "Tarn McArthur,
named for a 19th century ce
lebrity of the Piute Indian
tribe, who in turn owed his
name to a crooked poker hand.
He held a flush which was
topped by a flush achieved on
the draw by the dealer, and
ever afterward he referred to
the means of his downfal as
the "plush."
So there came to the Oregon,
map another place name thati
can be traced back to the pe-
culiarity of Indian phonetics.;
Phish does not appear to have'
changed much since the time -of
its hapless founder.
There is a sharp climb ap -the
rim of the plateau of the
Hart Mountain National Ante-. -lope
Refuge. A clear eye can
pick out an occasional prong
horned antelope in the sea of
sagebrush.
On the tableland some 15
miles or so from Plush is the
oasis of well-tended stone,
buildmgs housing the antelope
refuge headquarters. It is well
to check m here before ven
turing farther along the virtu
ally unmarked road that leads
48 miles on to Frenchglen.'
Accommodations Fine

p.m.) we were willing to call;
it a day, and we can recom-
mend "highly the extraordi-f
nary overnight accommoda-,
tions available near there.
We were directed to a se-
duded glen about four miles;
south of the headquarters sta-f
tion, on the route to that cele-l
brated summer gathering place
of the Order of the Antelope
the Blue Sky hotel. There;
among the trembling (or quak-i
ing) aspen, a stream invites
overnight camping. And there;
is, in addition, the incredible)
luxury of a concrete-welled'
hot, mineral bath. .
The Bauers nlaneed in to en-'
joy a family soaping, Japanese
style. There was no greater
pleasure in our eight days
around the state.

Their chaperone, Jack L.
Marks of Portland, said one
of his charges had picked up
a taste for human flesh on the
way from Oregon to Newark,
N.J., Tuesday.
It happened in Chicago, he
said. "I was trying to get the
water pan from the cage when
one of the beavers resented
the intrusion and chewed my
finger," Marks said.
The 50-pound beavers are
being exchanged for the Rus
sian bear cubs in a deal ar
ranged by U.S. Sen. Richard
L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) and So
viet Ambassador to the United
States Mikhail Menshikov.
Photographers Snubbed
The so-called "cultural ex
change" is scheduled to take
place July 31 at the Belgian
fair.
Marks ran into more trou
ble later when the beavers
snubbed attempts to line them
up for photographers.
They hemmed and hawed
about leaving their aluminum
dog kennel cages to pose.
Once outside, cameramen had
a rough time finding suitable
background to photograph the
black-coated animals.

Parting Broadside
At United States
Ensenada, Mexico (UPD i
Playboy-Gen. Rafael Trujillo
Jr. of thee Dominican Repub
lic sailed toward Acapulco to
day, thinking "the worst"
about the United States its
newspapers, lawmakers and
Army school.
The dashing, 29-year-old
general, made a colonel at 3
by decree of his daddy, Dom
inican strongman Raefael
Trujillo, took a parting broad
side at the United States as he
turned his one-shot "man of
war" south.
Filmland Loves Discussed
Meeting with the Mexican
press (he wouldn't see Ameri
can newsmen), Trujillo dis
cussed his filmland loves and
told the world he thought the
American press and lawmak
ers were "liars."
Asked" what he though of
the United States, the gener
ous general said: "I think the
worst."
"I don't know the origin of
all my troubles in the United
States but I think it was when
I got angry about the words
of a senator in Washington
about the money I spent,"
Trujillo said.
"The senator said I was
spending the money from the
Republic. When they attrib
uted my money as coming
from Washington, it was scan
dalous and ridiculous. I
think that there was a total
of $600,000 from the United
States to buy surplus mater
ial. The agreement was signed
in 1953. Those people (sena
tors) are liars because I am
spending my family fortune."
It was Trujillo's penchant
for plying beautiful actresses
with rich gifts that attracted
the attention of lawmakers in
Washington. They wanted to
know if he was using foreign
aid funds earmarked for the
Dominican Republic to buy
gifts for actresses Kim Novak,
Zsa Zsa Gabor and Joan Col
lins. Lie by Press Charged
On attendance at the U. S.
Army school at Ft. Leaven
worth where he received a
"certificate of attendance"
only, the mustachioed, be
ribboned general said:
"The American press lied
about the school when they
said I was not passed. This
is what happened.
"It was an unfortunate man
euver of the school. I was sick
and it was necessary to leave
the school for surgery and I
was not informed that I would
miss the tests. And since they
didn t advise me I was unable
to take the tests.
"I didn't fail. I just didn't
take the tests."
