Discovered Cool Retreat From Heat of Valleys ■ 1 11 -- T the boys, Lewis Louden, who wont to school here years ago in the Journal one night last week. He is cne of the nine pilots for the Sec ond American Eagle squadron. They have just received their R. A. F. un iforms in London. He, with his par ents, lived in the log house on the Clatskanie mountain. His parents still own the property but the log house has burned. Legal Notices NOTICE OF FINAL ACCOUNT Sky-high Crater lake remains one of Oregon's outstanding tourist attractions. Last year its deep blue waters and rugged scenery drew 252.000 tourists. a figure 1941 may exceed. This is one of a series of motoriog» made through co-operation of The Ore gonian and the Oregon State Motor asso ciation describing visits to Interesting areas of the Pacific northwest. BY FRED W. COLVIG Staff Writer, The Oregonian Irvin S. Cobb, Bluegrass hu morist, visited Crater lake by horse and buggy 20 years ago— and wild horses couldn’t drag him back. He was firm in his objections: “Beauty, certainly there’s beauty tnere—a fantastic sort of beauty. But it isn’t restful. I just can’t imagine resting in the shadow of that grandeur.” To easy-going Cobb, whom we met in Bend, restfulness pic tures a shaded veranda and a mint julep, and, by that defini tion restfulness is something sky-high Crater lake “just ain’t got.” But we were not looking for that kind of restfulness. And neither, if we may judge, were the 252.000 persons who set last year’s record attendance figure at the park. Year in, year out, Crater lake has been Oregon's out; landing tourist attraction. Adamant Mr. Cobb votes with the minority. Driving the well-known white travel car o. the Orego... State Motor association we reached Crater lake after a night spent at Diamond lake, 14 miles north. Ears “ringing” from the rapid ascent to the lake rim, we encountered eight-foot snow banks at the north en- trance, pleasant contrast to the July heat of the valleys. Cobb’s criticism had set for us the objective of learning why Crater lake would be the magnet for close to 300 000 tourists this year. At the Rim village, as the cluster of park buildings on the south side of the crater is called, we found Soldiers Make Camp Near Mist MIST—Our one big excitement last week was the many truck loads of soldiers who passed through Mist. Many hundreds camped on the George Kovach farm. Many were interested in watching them prepare their evening meal. The rain of this week has kept the log trucks belonging to Mat hews Bros, from hauling, due to lack of gravel on the roads they use. Several of the villagers were pick ing blackberries last week for mar ket. Del Eastman was a visitor at his parents home last week. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sundland vzere business visitors in Portland Wednesday. Mrs. Ray Garlock has been as- sisting in the Dowling home with the house work during Mrs. Dowl ing’s illness with an infected foot. Saturday evening guests at the C. O. Hayden home were Mr. and Mrs. Ray McGee from Grand Ronde rnd Mr. and Mrs. Carl Enneberg. Shady Lane is employed at Scap- a Sunday crowd of several hun dred—and there wasn’t a ve randa-sitter in the bunch. At Sinnott memorial, rough stone building whose parapet commands a view of the lake, Dr. Wayne Kartchner, one of the park’s seven ranger-natural ists, held the attention of a throng with an explanation of how the lake came into being. Like a great corn-popper, the peak had popped out its insides. ' i Fine new highways now lead to Crater lake, as this map shows. Gases, gathering pressure in the mountain’s hellish innards, saturated the liquid magma then expelled it in a great shower of rock “fluff," found today in the form of pumice as far as 100 miles from the lake. After the explosion the moun tain “boiled over,” sending tor rents of smoking froth down the valleys; and then the shell of the peak fell into its own cauldron and was melted. But then, of course, there is the Klamath Indian legend— and one may believe it if he wishes—that the lake was cre ated in a titanic struggle be- tween Liao, the god of the underworld, and Skell, the god of living things. The legend is preserved today in the names of Liao rock, a prominence on the south rim of the lake which the Indians believed was the god’s throne; and Skell’s head, another rocky protrusion. Crater lake’s fantastic blue color (which led its discoverer, John Wesley Hillman, who stumbled upon it .in 1853, to call it Deep Blue lake) evokes more questions from tourists than any other feature. Ranger Herb Armentrout at tributed the color to the purity of the water, its great depth (Crater lake, plumbed at 2000 feet, is the deepest lake on the North American continent and the fourth deepest lake in the world) and the reflection of the sky. Sole law officers in the na tional parks, rangers are guar dians not only of the park’s natural beauty but also of the tourists who put themselves in their custody during their visit —and the humans can get them selves into plenty of scrapes. Like the three Virginia lads who tried to climb down the steep crater wall and found themselves in a spot where they could neither descend farther nor climb back out ... It took rangers from 7:30 one evening until 5:45 the next evening to extricate them, and that at great risk to themselves. New highways into this high Cascade region have made for swift access. Where Irvin Cobb visited Crater lake by horse and -uggy 20 years ago, and where even youngsters like us recall the dirt and gravel roads of ten years back, broad high ways—the equal of any in th« state—now lead. poose. Hand Cut by Hatchet Donnie Hall cut his hand quite badly Friday While chopping with a hatchet. He was taken to Clats kanie where the wound was dressed.

William Garlock was also a Portland visitor. Floyd Libel was at home from Portland over the week-end.
