He adriscs that anyone who wants a real back to natnro trip to take the one he made, this year, but he adds that the tourist will bo well repaid In fine scenery- for tho troublo it tnkos to corcr the ground. life story ot tho trip Is as. follows:, Leaving Sacramento wo journeyed to Redding, by -way of Davis and Woodland, and there viewed Lassen Volcano, in the first ot tho National Parks visited on the trip. 'Wo then proceeded ovor" tho Siskiyou" Moun'-' .tains to Ager, where wo left'tho high way to enter-tho Cascade Mountains by the Fort Klamath entrance to snow bound. Having traveled through this samo country about thirty years ago and having a recollection of tho satao, wo proccedod and nrrlvod at Anna Springs, and iwero hospitably received by Ranger "Norrls nnd a'Mr. and Mrs. Hodborg. ' Moetlng many peopld who are uri acquainted with our National Parks as to-their bIio, etc., will stato that the Government compols all tnach inos.to roglstor upon entering those parks, ( and a rocord mndo of tho car'numbor, make, etc., with tho' ad' dross of all passengers) all firearms aro sealed, and upon leaving tho parks a chock Is again mado ot these items. This record of visitors during tho season can be obtained from tho Interior Department. The feeding Of all wild animals in National Parks is forbidden. If, In traveling through thoso parks you sco no watchman, you must always rcmombcr that tho Rangers may bo watching you 'with out being themselves seen, and they aro prompt In their punlshruont of any Infraction ot park rules. Tho writer wishes horo to mention tho ozcclleni care and courteous atten tion shown to tho autolst by tho Rangors in tho National Parks. ( Leaving Anna Springs wo pressed on through, snow, until compolled to abandon tho machine, and then com menced a six mllo hlko ovor tho snow covering at that tlmo tho un opened road to Crater Lake, whoro the main Lodgo lies. Wo thcro look ed upon Crater'Lako, a body of 'wat er' nlnernUo8 long by 'seven miles wido, having a dopth. of 2000 feet, and surrounded by a ridgo from 800 to 300 Ofoet abovo It, and saw tho remains of lit. Mazama, a volcano formation which, Instead ot blowing out at, tho top, as most volcanoes do, sank down out ot eight, leaving a vast cauldron Which now is Crator Lake. This lako has no Inlet or out lot. At this lako wo vlowed Wizard Island andtho Phantom Ship, rock formatlonsT which' wero thrown Tip in tho late'yoara niter Mt. Maiama:had ceased activity. This Nat(oia) Pork contains about 450,000 acres.. Leaving tho Park by tho Medtord entrance, wo pushed along tho Wil lamette Valley, tho agricultural and settled part ot Oregon, and through tho Capital of o'regon, Salem, on to Portland, tho "City of Rosos." Wo passed ovor tho world famed Col umbia River Highway, the total length of which is 168 miles ot fine roads, and a marvel ot engineering skill, whoro somo of tho largo water falls of America can bo scon without leaving tho machine, nnd whoro tho mighty Columbia River skirts along with you, , From Taconia, Washington, wo commenced tho drive to (tho Ralnlor Park of somo ,300,000 acres,, whoro wo witnessed-tho glnciors"' sliding slowly Into tho Hisqually Rivor. Ro turning to tho Columbia Rlvor gorgo wo coritlnuod through from Dalles to Pendleton, .passing grain and alfalfa fields.; whoro thov"Wlld West" has boon transformed in but a few years to .n, wonderful agricultural contor. ThU somo. country1 only a. tow years back was an unbroken pralrlo, nnd I1 bcilovo 1 can safely predict that within a fow years tho sagebrush, and desort ot Oregon, will bo no more as tho Government Is planning now to supply tho only need ot this coun try, wntor, by consorvatlpn instead of waste.
