MethOdiStS Return
From Crater Lake

The Methodist party returned to
Ashland Tuesday evening after fifteen
days outing at Crater Lake and other
points of interest in Klamath county.
Their accounts of the trip are authen-
tic and make the listener wish that
he might have been one of the party.
Three wagons carried the luggage and
enabled all to ride alternately, when
they became tired of walking. Two
nights were spent up at the Crater
and jolly times were had in climbing
around the rocks and down into the
crater. On the way to the crater
Rev. Carnahan walked a good share
of the way without even getting on
the wagon, but finally, becoming foot
sore, he climbed up on top of the lug
gage to recuperate.
The trip was ideal all the way
through, not jar taking place at
any time. The party camped at
Rocky Point, on Klamath Lake, for
four days, where Rev. Carnahan here
again gained laurels for himself,
hooking the largest fish, weighing
eight and half pounds.
The evenings were delightfully."-
spent around the campfire, and all
were royalty entertained with stories
from Rev. Douglass, Rev. Ogg5 and
Rev. Carnahan. Mr.. Ogg told many
instances of his travels and expert
ences in India, and proved to be very
entertaining. On the way down from
the crater the party met Wilem Policy
and his crowd in their auto. At the
crater they found Miss Mabel Russell
engaged in portraying the beauties
of the lake on canvas. The whole
trip was a great success, and all of
its participants are anxious to try it
again next year. Those in the party
were the Misses Bertha Eliason, Fay
Barton, Irene Skeen, Maple Payne,
Minta Cherry, Ethel, Bertha and
Erma McCallister of Grants Pass, and
the Messrs. Ross Eliason, Clayton
Borer, John Rigg, Peter Spenser, Rev.
Ogg and Rev. Douglass and wife.

Class of 1914
Have Reunion

The class of 1914 held reunion in
the park Wednesday evening. All
met at O'Clock and took their lunch
in the park. Although the class is
already beginning to scatter, yet
about twelve were present. The OBJ
ject of the meeting was to ascertain
what the class should buy for the
high school with the money they had
left over from last years senior play.
1t was decided, without much debat-
ing, to have an elegant trophy case
made and installed in the school.
This is much needed, for the school
each year adds cups from its differ
ent winnings.

LONDON, Jan. 23.-"We have built

note Of Sir Oliver Lodges Kelvin lecture
before the Institute OF Electrical En-
gineers last evening.
According to his theory, the sun dis
charges upon the earth a mixture OF
ions charged with positive and negative
electricity. but the magnetic poles coax
the positive portion to the polar re-
gions, where they are wasted in giving
displays such as the aurora
boreaIis, while the warmer climates get
the benefit only Of the negative ions.
Sir Oliver, therefore, advocates the
shifting of the magnetic poles so as
to get a greater share of positive cleo
tricity in the upper atmosphere.
Much could be done by placing
copper rod around the earth, parallel
to the equator. which would be able to
