Burro Service
For Crater Lake

A much welcomed feature at Cra-
ter Lake park next summer will be
the Inauguration of burro sdrvice

people who wish to go down to the
lake and back, but cannot stand the
exertion at that altitude, over the
new trail from the rim to the waters
edge.

not export cotton. therefore. We
would have a surplur of five
million bales and that surplus
would cause cotton to decline
from the present high price of
rs or q cents a pound to q price
far below the cost Of production.
As illustrative of this point it ia
necessary only to recall the con.
ditions in 1914 when at the be
ginning Of The war shipping was
uncertain and as a consequence
cotton cold at six or seven cents
a pound. Even with the short
wheat crop this year we have
something like 100 million bush

sumption in the United States
Ii happens that Europe needs
not only that 100 millions but
very much more, but il we had
accepted Germany's dictation
and were &c &c send send only one ship a

would be a surplus which would

the public eye, although it was more
or less distasteful to him. He accepted
the position of Kent professor of law
at Yale and devoted much of his time
to these duties. lie interested himself
i'm the war and warmly supported the
