America is the lake in Crater LAX,
National Park in Oregon, which
described DIN a publication entitAeh
geological History of Crater Lake
just issued by the department of thu
interior. Tine traveller who, from thu
rocky rim of the lake, looks across
its limpid waters to the cliffs beyond

summit high above the crest of the
Cascade range.
Before the Cascade range existed
the region now included in the Stat:
Of Oregon was a great lava plateau
that extended from the Rocky noun
tains to the present Coast range
Gradually mountaineering forces be
came operative; the surface of tht
plateau was arched and there rose
the great mountain system which is
now known as the Cascade range
With the hardening of the crust the
centers of eruption became fewer un
til they were confined to a few high
mountains that were built up by the
flows of molten lava. In this way
We're created Hood, Rainier, and MAJ
anna, from whose sides and lofty sum
mits streams of lava poured across a
desolate land. Hood and Rainier still
lift their snowy caps to the CLOUDS
and fling a defiant challenge to the
mountaineer to scale their steep, ice
covered slopes. Mazana alone is
gone. engulfed in the earth from
which it came. In what is left of dts
caldera lies Crater Lake.
Mount ,Mazama in its prime rose to
a height of over $4,000 feet above the
sea. Mount Scott, which towers Cra-
ter Lake on the east, was only min
or cone on the slope of Mount MAJ
anna. The portion Of the mountain
that has been destroyed was equal in
size of Mount Washington lin New
Hampshire and had volume of II
CUBIC miles.
From the crest of the rim surround
ing the lake the traveller beholds 20
miles of unbroken cliffs which range
from 500 to nearly 1000 feet in |height.
The clear waters of the lake reflect
the vivid colors of the surrounding
wallis and whether in the soft glow
of early morning, i'm 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.
This publication contains a detailed
account of the formation of this
wonderful work of nature. 1t is
we'll illustrated by photographs and is
written in nontechnical language so
that it may be clearly understood by
the reader who has not the advantage

URGES Use Of
GREEN SPRlG
President Taft Lends His En-.
d0rSemeDt 10 the Idea
for Decoration Day
Special to The Tribune.

0pCCAdA " xA0 AIAOAu0s
ST, PAUL, May 29-In twenty Of
more states Of the Union the children
in every public school will be urged
to wear a green sprig on May &c. al
an outward manifestation of their ap
probation Of the sacrifices made by
the soldiers of the Civil war. This
idea of universal adoption of the sprie
of evergreen for decoration day has
been suggested % most public men
of the country by ]. W. Hamilton
sales manager for large wholesale
dry goods house in St. Paul.
A few days ago President Taft
commended the idea in the following
language: "Mr. Hamilton proposes
that the custom be established among
school children. believe that it
might be extended to include all those
whose reverence for brave deeds and
lives sacrificed for the country create
in them tee desire to pay some tri.
bite 10 the honor 81 the dead and the
CALAMITY of those who still live.
earnestly hope that the suggestion
will become a custom. It is all but
a small recognition for great sacri.
fice."
For over two years Mr. Hamilton
has taken time from his regular dut-
les to urge the adoption of this Gus
tom upon governors, state superin-
tendents of public instruction and Of.
ficers of various patriotic societies.
They all have given it their hearty
approval and have helped spread the
idea. 1t was first suggested by Mr..
Hamilton that the wearing of q but.
ton signifying the importance of the
day to be worn by school children
and the public generally. It was soon
perceived however that the expense
OF this button although small, would
prohibit it's universal use. There is
no one flower which is in bloom in
all parts of the United States by the
last of May, 80 Mr. Hamilton hit up
on the idea Of using the widely dis
tributed evergreen. The thought on
the part of many people that decora.
ton day is not being observed in the
way that it should be has tended to
spread the idea Of universal use OF
evergreen in memory of the passing
warriors. The state superintendent
Of public instruction in Wisconsin, c.
P. Cary, has issued a circular to all
teachers III the state urging them to
adopt the custom The same thing
has been done in Idaho, Illinois. Min
nesota, Colorado, Kansas, Maine,
New Jersey and Virginia and school
authorities have co-operated gener-
ously in spreading the custom of
wearing a sprig Of evergreen.
. Mr.. Hamilton is hoping that the
patriotic societies of Canada and Eng
land will unite on this plan in recon-
mending the wearing of evergreen on
May 80, in memory Of the soldiers of
those countries. His idea goes fur
thor than this in the hope that
through this common custom tese ma
tons may be drawn into still closer
bonds of Anglo Saxon sympathy.

Wild West Show.

The 1O1 Ranch real Wild West
Show is to be at Ortonville July
Is and at Sisseton July 10, thus
affording an opportunity for see
ing what is admitted to be the
greatest amusement aggregation
ever organized. There is no show
in this country that has won for
itself a reputation for merit and
care of it's patrons, as has the
1O1 Ranch Wild West. The show
carries with it over 100 Indians,
and every one of them is seeing
this part of the country for the
first time. The cowboys and
cowgirls are all from the great
101 Ranch in Bliss, Oklahoma,
and it is from this ranch, the
largest in the world, that the
show derives it's name and which
is the shows home when not on
the road. Miller Brothers, who
with Edward Arlington, are the
owners of the show are also the
owners of this extensive ranch.

Illinois Legislature Pass a Law
Governing Society Rates.

The officers of the local lodge
of the Modern Woodmen of Am
erica have received acopy of the
law recently passed by a special
session of the Illinois Legislature
governing the organization and
management Of fraternal bene-
fciary societies. While the law
does not name any society in par
tlcular, it's passage was brought
about by the attempt of the head
officers of the NJ. w. A. to make
a substantial raise in the rates
regardless of the wishes of the
great majority of the members,
and under the new law it is i'm
possible for the NJ. w. A. officers
to put into effect such rates with
out submitting the matter to a
vote of the lodge membership.
For the benefit of the large mum
Der of Woodmen in this city and
county interested in the matter
we publish the act passed by the
Illinois legislature, which is as
follows:
Sec. THAT Section 10 of an
act entitled, An Act to provide
for the organization and man
agement of fraternal beneficiary
societies for the purpose of fur
nishing life indemnity or pecun-
larry benefits to beneticiaries of
deceased members or accident or
permanent indemnity disability
to members thereof; and to con
troll such societies of this state
and of other states doing business
in this state, and providing and
fixing the punishment for viola
ton of the provisions thereof,
and to repeal all laws now exist
ing which conflict herewith, APP

A Needed Reform
Ministers and Undertakers of Kansas
Join in Efforts to Abolish Foolish
FUNERAL Ceremonies

uucII0l OSICuAVUlCS
The undertakers and ministers
of Kansas are going to join in a
movement to bring about a re-
form in funerals. There is en-.
tirely too much foolish ceremony
ABOUT funerals the undertakers
believe and the ministers fully
agree with them. Accordingly
they are going to join hands to
bring about these reforms:
Unopened caskets at funerals.
Fewer flowers, and them to the
living instead of the dead.
Sermons not to exceed thirty
minutes.
Shorter ritual service.
Burial assistants and family
alone to accompany body to the
grave.
The open casket serves simply
to bring a curious crowd to funer
ais the undertakers believe and
the custom of display simply is a
tax on the resources of the fam.
lily probably already heavily bur-
dened by physicians and sur
geons and drug and nurse bills.
The custom of loading a coffin
with flowers is also wrong the
undertakers believe. If flowers
should be sent they should be
sent to the living who can appre-
ciate them instead Of to the dead
The undertakers themselves
believe funerals should be simp-
Ter, with less expensive baskets
fewer carriages and fewer flow
ers. All of this expense usually
is a burden and the undertakers
say they must maintain high pri-
ces because they lose so much
money. They argue that if fun
erals we're simpler and less ex-
