LAKE A CHERISHED MEMORY
ARTICLE BY DR. EMANUEL De MARGERE, LATE PRESIDENT FRENCH
GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY, TRANSLATED BY PROF. OCARA

gag of the road, finds himself upon
the rim of an immense crater, whose
waters of deep blue change to en-
erald green near the shores. The
spectacle is thrilling and engraves
itself forever on ones memory, es-
pecially so when it is seen under the
changing lights of the different
hours of the day.
The terminus of the route-where
there is now frame structure, Cra-
ter Lake Lodge, and where there is
under construction a hotel of cut
stone-is at an elevation of 2,156
meters. The surface of the lake has
an elevation of 1882 meters above
sea level. The abyss which yawns
beneath the feet of the spectator is,
therefore, about 275 meters deep,
greater if one observes the rocky
crests outlined against the eastern
sky like ruins of ancient walls. The
greatest difference in level between
the surface of the water and the rim
of the crater is found at Glacier
peak to the northeast, where it is
6O3 meters, Elsewhere, the rim
does not maintain uniform eleva-
ton; it rises and falls alternately in
a capricious sort of way, varying
within wide limits.
Discovery of Crater Lake.
1t has been only 60 years since
this new marvel of the world was
first seen by white men. According
to w. G. Steel, resident of Port
land, Ore, who has done so much
to make Crater lake known and who
accompanied us on the2 trip, the
lake was discovered in 1853, but
long before this it was well known
to the native Indian tribes. Official
explorations did not begin until
much later, 1888, when the lake was
visited by ]. S. Diller and Everett
Hayden. In 1856 two topographers
of the United States Geological Sur
vey, M. B. Kerr and Eugene Rick
seeker, began the first survey of the
crater and its boundaries. At the
same time w. G. Steel made a series
of soundings, and Captain C. e. Dut-
ton, in preliminary report, attract
ed the attention of the American
people to this remarkable geologic
accident

PASSES AWAY
Leander WilhOit Died at Home of
His Daughter, Mrs. H. A.
Spencer, May 1.

Leander Wilhoit, a resident of
Oregon for 60 years, passed away at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. H. A.
Spencer, last Thursday, May 1, 1918.
Mr.. Wilhoit was taken sick at his
home on Williams creek a couple of
months ago and was taken to the
home of a daughter, Mrs. Warner,
and remained until a week ago last
Sunday, when he was brought to the
home of Mrs. Spencer that he might
receive medical attendance more cas-
lily. This proved in vain, however.
He suffered from weak heart and
other troubles incident to old age
and life of hard work
The funeral services we're held
from Stocks undertaking parlors,
followed by interment in Mountain
View cemetery. The funeral SER
vices were conducted by Rev. L. G..
Poor, pastor of the NJ. E. church.
Leander Wilhoit was born in Mis-
souri, June 25, 1S46, and emigrated
to Oregon with his parents when but
years of age, coming across the
plains in a canvas-covered wagon in
1853. He served for two years in
Company A, first Oregon infantry,
being stationed at FIT. Vancouver,
now Vancouver Barracks.
Shortly before attaining his ma
jority he was married near Dallas,
Polk county, to Miss Margaret Ann
Butler, who died near Roseburg,
September II, 1896.
The children were Mrs. Mary
Spencer, Ashland; Mrs. Effie Long,
Ashland; Walter Wilhoit, who died
March %, 1902, at Ash Valley,
Douglas county; Mrs. Amy Bradley,
Fall Creek, CAL; Mrs. Lulu Warner,
Williams creek; Mrs. Grace Rosen-
stock, Ashland; Gay, who died in in
fancy; Miss Maud Wilhoit, Vancou-
yer, B. c., and Misses Meta and Nora
Wilhoit, who made their home with
their father.

FRUIT CROP WILL BREAK RECORD
PROF OGARA PREDICTS ROGUE RIVER VALLEY WILL HAVE CROP
THAT WILL EXCEED 1912

Medford. May 5.-Prof. P. ].
O'Gara, the county pathologist, has
given out the following statement
regarding the fruit crop in the val
ley:
THE fruit crop will be larger this
year than last. The first estimates
of frost damage were much over
drawn, as is usually the case. Or
chards that heated, as most of the
large producers did, were untouched,
as were those of the foothills.
Although it is little early to
determine the full amount of injury
caused by the last frost, it is never
theless certain that many of the val
ley floor orchards where heating was
not practiced are more or less in
jured. The foothills seem to be un-
injured, as are the heated orchards
on the valley floor. In a few in
stances orchardists failed to light up
in time, and some injury resulted,
although the protection was ample.
1T is interesting to note the ex-
cellent results obtained in orchards
where heating was properly done. In
this connection may be mentioned
the A. c. Allen, F. H. Hopkins, Bear
Creek, Holloway, Bingham, Carpen-
ter, Potter & Gould, Klamath and
many others in the adjacent districts.
In some of these orchards not a sim
gle injured fruit could be found,
which orchards just across the way
lost heavily. To those who do not
believe in frost prevention, l may
say that there are several good con-
trasts which may be seen and might
prove good object lesson.
'The fact that frost occurred is
nothing against the district. There
is no such place as a frostless fruit
belt, as may be learned by noting
what has occurred in districts a
thousand miles south of us. Since
this is true, the only thing to do is
to prepare. Only a short time ago
heating was called a fad, but it is
now known that it is fad that pays.

Among the interesting contrasts
between the eastern and western
United States, in point of physical
character, one of the most striking
is furnished by the unequal distribu-
tion of volcanic rocks. In the far
west" we find volcanic rocks every
where, while such lava flows are not
known east of the Rocky mountains.
Everywhere in the west there are
proofs of recent volcanic activity,
often in such characteristic form as
never to be forgotten, such as we
beheld in the majestic silhouettes of
Mount Rainier, Mount Adams and
Mount Shasta glistening in the dis
tance under their covering of eter-
nal SHOWS. To enumerate all the
cones and lava flows which the trans
continental excursfonists saw in the
course of their journey-thanks to
an itinerary judiciously chosen
would be an almost impossible task.
We will now consider one of the
most unique geological wonders,
Crater lake, near Medford, Ore. We
count our visit to Crater lake as
among the cherished memories of the
excursion.
MedfOrd to Crater Lake.
Arriving in the city of Medford,
Ore, made famous because of the
magnificent orchards surrounding it,
we were taken by automobile to
Crater lake, situated about 1876 kilo-
meters to the northeast, the road fol-
lowing the banks of the Rogue river,
a turbulent stream flowing into the
Pacific ocean. The road, after ira
versing an open district, enters a
timbered area which soon becomes
magnificent forest, peopled by giant
trees. This forest is one of the great
national forest reserves of the west
where yellow Oregon pine alternates
with Douglas fir and several vare-
ties of shrubs. After some hours Of
travel on an almost imperceptible
upgrade the road turns east-south-
east into a basin where the view
opens out to some extent; however,
the crested mountains seen to the
north give the traveller no clew as
to what is in store beyond. Ascend
ing moderate slope, we soon reach
the klamath divide, then the road
turns abruptly to the left and at
tacks the precipitous rocks which
loom up before the traveller, who,
after reaching the end of the last zig
