Bryan Says Crater
Lake Needs Tunnel

Medford Tribune: Crater Lakes
greatest need is tunnel through the
rim-rock of the lake, about fifty feet
above water line, so that visitors may
reach the waters edge without the
fearful climb now necessary" said
William j. Bryan upon his return
from the lake Thursday.
Il was much impressed with the
beauty of the lake-which may be
fairly called the worlds most beauti-
full lake, although cloudy weather
prevented our seeing it at its best.
In it Oregon has an unrivalled attrac-
ton. ! have seen nearly all the Won
ders Of all the countries, but in all
of them there is nothing to compare
with Crater Lake.
''Mr. Steel has plans for a tunnel,
as the precipitous sides, the heavy
snowfall and the character of the
rock make an elevator a difficult and
unsafe problem. | heartily endorse
ihs plan, and when the time comes
will gladly so before the congression-
ally committees and tell them of Cra-
ter Lakes needs Having been there,

depend upon me to use whatever in
fluence | have to help Crater Lake,
its tunnels, its roads and improve
ments.
Il have thoroughly enjoyed this
trip and wish to express my apprecia-
tion for the courtesy shown Mrs.
Bryan and myself by the Commercial
Club, Greater Medford Club and citi-
zens, and want the good people of
Medford to feel free to call upon me
when | can be of service"
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan were de-
lighted with what they saw on the
trip and especially enamored of the
giant forest trees and the Rogue river
cascades, pronouncing the Rogue the
most beautiful stream they had ever
seen. The good roads delighted them,
especially the paved Pacific highway.

State Warden Says
Game Plentiful

Roseburg Review: Because of the
greater spirit of protection shown by
the hunters clubs and the sportsmen
individually, there are more deer this
year than there have been for many
seasons, is the report of Carl d. Shoe
maker, state game warden, who re-
turned yesterday from sixteen-day
tour through the state.
The warden visited the game re-
serves and the many hunters clubs
in order to familiarize himself with
local conditions and get acquainted.
All the accounts say the mountains
abound with deer. Last winter the
light-footed animals were little mo-
Tested by the wildcats and cougars,
as there was plenty of food to be had.
The main reason for the increase,
however, is the preventive measures
taken by the organization of sports
men. Heretofore some of the mem
bers were the worst violators. They
would shoot female deer and then
mutilate the carcass so that it could
not be recognized by the game ward
ems. Since the cooperative work has
been instituted between the law en-
forcers and the hunters most of the
illegal hunting has stopped.
In game district No. |, which in
cludes all the counties west of the
Cascade range, the open season for
China pheasants will be from October
to 81, with the exception of Jack
son county, where only ten days
hunting will be allowed, beginning
on October l. There will be no open
season in Coco, Curry and Josephine
counties. In the eastern Oregon

The Doc Team.

Now the modus operandi of a dog
team is as follows: The leader and
wheel dog are the whole works on the
basis of 70 to 255. The leader starts
'em, he stops em, he picks the trail,
he turns 'em. When he walks, the rest
do; when he gallops, they gallop All
the wheel dog does is to guide the nose
of the sled, materially assisted by the
driver. The rest Of the team merely
pull and ycIp.
From which follows that a good lead.
er is very desirable thing to have
and a poor leader is worse than use
less. The driver, at the handlebars, is
often thirty feet from the leader, the
dogs being driven tandem and con-
trolled by word of mouth and whip

TRIC0LOR OF FRANCE.
First Adopted In 1894, It Fell and Rose
Again In 1880.

Again In 1881.
The French have always favored the
colors of red, white and blue, and
throughout their history red banners,
white plumes and blue scarfs have
been largely used in connection with
royalty and the army.
The French national flag. the tricolor,
however, which combines the three
popular colors of France, is compare
lively modern. The flag was first
adopted about 1874. A decree was is
sued which gave to all flags knot of
tricolor ribbons at the top of the staff,
and later the red, white and blue de-
sign was chosen for the national flag.
Some years after II was abolished for
the white flag of France made famous
by Henry w., and 1t was not until 1880
that the tricolor came into its own
again. Since then the flag has been
the national banner of France.
The divisions on the trlcolor are not
all the same size. The red occupies
the largest space, the blue is slightly
smaller than the red. and the white Is
the narrowest stripe of the three. The
space occupied by the colors has been
scientifically worked out in order to
make the flag visible at long distances,
a necessary asset for naval purposes.
The tricolor forms the base of nearly
every flag connected with the army,
navy and merchant service of France.
The presidents flag consists of the tri.
color, with his initials in gold worked
into the white stripe.-London Stand

Garlic and Milk,

The odor and favor Of garlic Is due,
like the odor Of rotten eggs, to sui.
phur compounds. Garlic is member
of the onion family, grows in pastures,
cultivated fields and even In the woods.
Garlic is a bad pest on any farm, but
is exceptionally so on a dairy farm
because of the strong flavor 1t gives to
the milk. A temporary expedlent is to
keep the cows Off the infested pasture
at least four hours before milking. This
will greatly reduce the bad flavor Then
If the milk stands at least four hours
the flavor may disappear altogether

EARLY FIRE FIGHTERS.
New York Had Volunteer Brigade In
the Seventeenth Century

tHe OoVoHbcS0tH NoUtuTys
There was an organized fire depart
ment in New York city as early as 164S,
when a fire prevention squad existed,
with duties resembling those of the bu-
reau of fire prevention of today. The
older squad was made up of police
fremen, or fire-pollcemen, whose duty
was to visit all parts of the city, which
then extended from the Battery to City
Hall park, and inspect the chimneys to
see whether they were free from fire
danger. Those guilty of having Chin
neys in a dangerous condition were
fined $1.50, which went to buy new
equipment, such as fire ladders, hooks
and buckets.
In the days of the fire police of 1913
the owner of each of the 200 odd houses
on Manhattan island had to have one or
more fire buckets In his house. These
were made Of leather and cost $3.50.
A local shoemaker got the contract to

buckets had to be thrown out Of the
houses when the watchman gave the
alarm of fire. They were picked up by
the volunteer Gremen rushing to the
blaze and used by bucket brigade
formed between the burning building
and the nearest well.
When the wells ran dry the brlgades
sometimes had to make the river their
base. Any one attempting to pass
through the fire lines at that time was
doused. The man who breaks through
and tells the chief how to fight the fire
is an evil that has sprung up in modern
times.-New York Times.

Yearning and Promise.

The picture the prophet paints of the
great grief of God and His paternal
longing to remove the punishment that
their sin calls for is an appeal that
ought to have moved the nation to re-
pentance Israel deserved nothing but
destruction like "Sodom and Gomorrah,
Admah and Zebolin which God over
throw In His anger and wrath" but His
heart Is kindled with pity for his stray
ing child. He cannot cast of one whom
He so dearly loves II they would show
signs of repentance. A man might cast
off his prodigal son, but God is above
the passions of man. Jehovah smites
only that He might heal. The one domi-
nant note of the heart Of the eternal
God is His love for the lost, whom He
yearns to save.
The last two verses are quite dim
cult OF interpretation. but they appear
to hold out promise Of God that He
will restore the nation. gathering It

carries also in its train punishment
for their sin. Hosea saw in his long
ministry and pointed out to his coun-
trymen that sin always results in dis
aster. He stood faithfully for loyalty
to Jehovah and the unity Of both Israel
and Judah. In fact, Hosea belived that
the acceptance of the Davidic line and
return to the worship Of Jehovah
would correct the evils produced by
their backsliding.

political disturbances and Of the public
and private vices, which had been de-
nounced by Amos. that had reached

parture from the path God had desired
them to follow. He insisted that 'if a
nation persists in backsliding, in turn

heart to gods Of gold or any other
inferior and unworthy service. and II
it persistently refuses to return then
1t need not be surprised II some very
stern discipline is in store which may
even take the form of the sword in its
cities"
Hosea saw at close range the iniqui-
ties, intemperancs and idolatries of
Israel that brought on the decline that
followed rapidly after the death of
Jeroboam II. The hints he gives US of
the internal conditions of his country
prove that he saw it was rapidly ap-
preaching it's end. The nation was
dominated by such spirit of faction
during the twenty years that followed
the death of Jeroboam II. during whose
reign Hosea commenced to prophesy,
that four of the six kings were assassi-
mated and the fifth was carried into
captivity.
The political struggle between the
Assyrian and anti-Assyrian parties had
resulted in such a treacherous national
foreign policy toward the Assyrian
government that we are not surprised
that the great power should have deter
mined to make an end of 1t forever.
Hosea saw In the power Of the coming
conqueror an agent of God sent to pun
ish men and the nation for their atti-
tude toward Jehovah. The same is true
of the present European struggle. No
matter what may be the immediate
causes that brought on the titanic con-
test the scourge of war will bring the
nations back to God. whom they have
forgotten.
