Bessemer, June 25.-(Special. )-The merchants of Bessemer have long been noted for their skill and taste in win dow dressing, and many attractive win dow displays have been made from time to time However, 1t remained for the high sheriff of the great county of Jeff ferson to discount all the efforts of the merchants when 1t comes to display that is drawing card.
 It Is that on Nineteenth street, and Is unique in character and original in design It is the outward, visible result of the recent wholesale raids on the soft drink stands of the Marvel City, and comprises everything in the way of "boozerina." from a concoction of red paint, vitriol, and dynamite, sold as whisky, to the genuine golden hued ambrosial, sparkling mountain dew.
 Casks and kegs are strewed in rare abandon, nanked by phials and fiasks of every shape and size. Countless bottles filled with the amber fluid that made Milwaukee famous are exposed to the longing eyes of thirsty mortals so near and yet so far. A liquid of the quintessence of tabasco sauce and Darbys fluid, labelled bottled in bond, in pints and half pints, is mute but eloquent reminder of the terrors of a blind tiger jag, while that rare blend of benzne, alcohol and smoke, labelled old Scotch," makes one shake and shudder just to imagine the effects of such a diabolical mixture. A few bot ties of sure enough "Oil of Joy" may be seen here and there in the collection.
 The assortment is large and varied. It is complete. It contains brands of liquor, near liquor and tanglefoot of known and unknown vintage and casks and cases and kegs of beer of good and bad standing in the community.
 Since being on exhibition the collec- tion has attracted large crowds of peo- pie, many of whom have gazed lin- geringly and longingly on the confis- cated and contraband goods, wares and merchandise.

OREGON'S CRATER LAKE
GREAT NATURAL WONDER

tain and valley. here saw something
that was beyond their ken. They gaZed
with awe upon the blue lake surrounded
by its walls OF brilliant hue, and their
vivid imaginations soon peopled 1t with
spirits. One of these spirits, known as
Lao, had his abode at the great clin
on the northern side of the lake now
known as Lao rock. He was said to
be a great monster. who seized men
and even animals who attempted to pry
too closely into the secrets of the mys-
terious lake. Only the medicine man
dared brave the fury of the spirits and
gaze upon the face of this wonderful
body of water.

came upon the lakeSas they were riding
through the forest. Little did these
hardy pioneers realiz4 that they were
gazing upon one OF the great wonders
of America. They saw a brilliant sheet
Of water ensconced in its mountain fast

the wonderful history of the lake, they
were not lacking in appreciation OF its
singular and remarkable beauty. From

the lake was unknown except in the
surrounding country. Gradually, how

the realization of the fact that this
great wonder should be kent inviolate

years later on May %, 1902, an act Of

pervision of the Secretary of the Interior
for the benefit and use OF the people OF
the United States.
From the crest OF the rim surrounding
the lake the traveller beholds twenty miles
of unbroken cliff, which range from 500
to nearly 1000 feet in height. The clear
waters of the lake reflect the vivid colors
of the surrounding walls. and whether
in the soft glow of early morning, in
the glare Of the MONDAY sun, or in the
rosy hues of the dying day, the view
Is one of awe-inspiring grandeur and
beauty Near tho western edge OF the
lake is Wizard Island, in the top or

and 500 feet in diameter Near the south
ern shore Is a jagged rock 200 feet high,
known as Phantom Ship. Viewed from a
distance, It resembles a great vessel, but

strikes It, hence it's name.
The lake is in places almost 1900 feet
deep. Il has no known outlet, and no
streams flow into it, its water being OBJ
tanned from the melting of the snow that
falls on the surrounding cliffs. Originally
the lake contained no fish, but It has

DAM STOPS THE SHAD.

| How q Great Improvement Inter.
feres with the Fish supply.
From the Baltimore American.
It has been convincingly demonstrated
| this year that the big power dam which
has been constructed across the Susque-
hanna River at McCaIls Ferry does pre-
vent shad, II not herring, from ascending
the river to the spawning grounds. A
fishway has been provided for crossing
the dam. and perhaps there are some fish
that travel up this incline; but according
to the reports of numerous observers the
shad have apparently been unable to
accomplish the ascent. Some members Of
the Pennsylvania legislature have been
personally investigating the interference
which the, dam presents to the natural
operation Of fish breeding in the river. It
provide a proper fishway.
An interference with the breeding In
stincts Of the ocean fish that make their
way up to headwaters every year for
spawning purposes is. Of course, In
equivalent degree destructive of the fish
ing industry Maryland is quite as much
concerned as Pennsylvania In the main
tenance OF an open route to the Susque-
hanna spawning grounds for shad and
herring. Both Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania maintain fish hatcheries. but arti-
hcial breeding Is only Complementary at
best The young fly. once they get
start in life, viii not find it difficult to
cross the dam on the way back to the
ocean; a descent is a much easier propo-
sition than an ascent But billions OF
eggs will spoil without producing young
shad unless a way OF ascent for the
spawning fish shall be provided.
The shad that come in from the ocean
each springtime make strenuous effort
to reach the fresh waters far up the
rivers. They travel up every river that
empties into the bay, but the SusQue-
hanna has always been the main breed
ing stream for ocean fish. In spite OF the
strenuous effort that Is made all along
the 200-mile route to trap the hsh on
their annual migrations millions of them
do succeed every year IN reaching the
Susquehanna. It Is of great Importance
that this choIce breeding river should be
kept open.

Unique among the natural wonders of
America is Crater Lake. in Southern
Oregon. Unsurpassed IN the gorgeous
ness and grandeur of its scenery, un-
rivaled In its location on the summit Of
a mountain 1000 feet above sea level.
and unparalleled in its geologic history,
this dazzling gem Of the Cascade Range
deserves the attention Of every tourist
and lover OF nature The traveller who,
from the rocky rim Of the lake, looks
across Its limpid waters to the cliffs be-
yond. stands where once the molten lava
Of Mount Mazama boiled and seethed in
its efforts to find an outlet, for Crater
Lake is all that remains Of a great vol
cano that ages ago reared its lofty sum-
inlet high above the crest Of the Cascade
Range.
Before the Cascade Range existed, the
region now included In the State of
Oregon vas a great lava plateau that
extended from the Rocky Mountains to
the present Coast Range. Gradually
notwithstanding forces became A-opera-
tive. the surface Of the plateau was
arched, and there rose the great noun
tain system which is now known as the
Cascade Range. With the hardening Of
the crust, the centers Of eruptions be-
came fewer, until they were confined to
a few high mountains that were built
up by the flows of molten lava. In this
way were created HSnd, Rainier, and
Mazama, from whose sides and lofty
SUBMITS streams of lava poured across
a desolate land. Hood and Rainier still
lift their snowy caps to the clouds and
fling a 1efiant challenge to the noun
taineer to scale their steep, ice-coyered
slopes. Mazama alone is gone-engulfed
in the earth from which 1t came. In
what is left of its caldera lies Crater
Lake.
Must Have Collapsed.
Mount Mazama in its prime rose to
height OF over 1900 feet above the sea-
Mount Scott, which towers above Crater
Lake on the east, was only a minor cone
on the slope OF Mount Mazama. The
portion Of the mountain that has been
destroyed was equal in size to Mount
Washington, in New Hampshire. and had
a volume Of seventeen cubic miles. How
came this great mass to be removed?
Was II blown upward and scattered over
the surrounding country? The phe-
nomena give no evidence to such the
ory, because IL this had happened there
would be a well-defined rim Of frag-
mental Inaterial on the slope. No other
conclusion can be reached than that
Mount Mazama collapsed, one part after
another from the center outward, as
the support was removed.
Many centuries passed; the elements
gradually wear away the surface so that
the land was covered with soil; the in
cessant work of the rivers carved valleys
in the great flows OF lava; slowly vege-
tation covered the fire-scarred land and
great forests of fir and pine stretched

slopes At last the Indians appeared. AS
they roamed over the mountains in
search Of game they occasionally saw

in the new northwest suburb OF High
land Park, which is situated in the
Chevy Chase district, just over the Dis
trict line.

buyers. Schools within three squares,
physicians within one square, and the
more material conveniences Of electric
lights, post-office, stores, sewers, gas,
good streets, and, in fact, all city con-
veniences. are conspicuous features that
insure its rapid growth.
