Over The Garden Gate Fort Klamath Ski Tourney (Continued from Page 2) Although athletes from outside points were in the majority in the various ski events at the tourna ments, at that time Fort Klam ath boasted some fine skiers and jumpers also.

The list is much too long to compile here, but oldtimers in the area will remember (ho people, all of both families being experts on the skis.

This year also saw an added attraction with the presence of Scotty Allen of Soda Springs, California, with his Alaskan sled and team of Male mute dogs. In later years Tony Castel had his own team and sled dogs and became a familiar fig ure exercising the dogs in the winter. He had bought a female Siberian Samoyed dog, "Biddy," and Scotty Allen's lead dog "Wolf" ( a beautiful specimen of the Alaskan Malemute) was the fath er of Biddy's nine pups which be came Tony's sled dogs. In 1934. the winter sports pro gram was sponsored jointly by the chambers of commerce of Klam ath Falls and Medford, by the Rogue Snowmen of Jackson Coun ty, the Bend Skyliners and the Crater Lake Ski Club. Due to bad snow conditions, the long ski race was canceled and a crowd of over 3,000 people enjoyed a varied pro gram of winter sports events. In 1935. Pete Iledburg was the win ner in the last of the long ski races, for it was decided by mem bers of the Klamath Winter Sports Association and the Crater Lake Ski Club that the contest was too grueling, and it was dropped. Despite blizzard-like weather. conditions prevailing for the 1930 meet, a crowd of over 500 turned out for the program of ski jump ing and ski events, with several novelty attractions. Events in 1937 were staged in Crater Lake Park with a large crowd attending. The year of 1938 saw the final tourna ment, also held in the park, with slalom races added to the events. Although the Crater Lake Ski Club did not immediately disband, from that time on for the next two winters its activities were confined to giving skiing instruc tions in the park. Plans were dis cussed to develop the Crater Lake Park area as a winter sports paradise, but all such plans were disrupted by World War II, and 1cm: commodity control, product were never realized.

"Decisions on what is wanted, and how to secure it are funda mental to attaining solutions to Uie problems of wheat and of national agriculture" the new bulletin says. It was written by Dr. Harold F. Hollands, OSC professor of agri cultural economics. Hollands points out that U.S. ag riculture will continue to produce too much wheat for available mar kets for some time unless ad justments are made. He then lists six promising types of action programs that might solve the wheat surplus prob- tso torn down, and nothing re- muincd of the popular winter rec reation tournament which had at- grums.

Two new roses, both developed especially for West Coast growing conditions, have just been intro duced to rose lovers by a Cali fornia commercial grower. One variety is a large pink hy brid tea rose, Pink Glory. The oth er is an unusual floribunda rose that even under the blaze of a Cal ifornia sun grows no higher than 24 inches. Appropriately titled Border Gem. the handsome rose is the product of the talented young hybridist, Dennison Morey, who developed the All-America Floribunda, Fusilier. Border Gem has exquisite coral flame flowers that possess a lum inescent translucent quality that glows like sunlight on copper. Individual flowers are two to 2 ',4 inches across and are produced in constant succession singly and in small clusters. The new rose.
