Asset of Great Value.

The entry into Oregon by the
Southern Pacific railroad-one of the
most delightfully."- scenic roads in the
world-never fails to charm even the
most phlegmatic. To climb the Sis
kiyou mountains and view the broad
expanse of mountain billows through
the gentle, silvery sheen Of an au-
tUmn sunlight Is a treat never to be
forgotten. To sit at the car window
as the train speeds along through the
valleys of Oregon and drink in the
delights of an ever-changiDg pano-
rama, Natures own painting, incased
in its framework of mountains, many
of which pierce the blue vault, snow
capped and pine-clad, is a great treat
that opens the heart and hand Of the
most tight-fisted and so-called prac-
tical business man. The generosity
thus aroused is an asset that we
should not ignore.
A climb to the summit of Mt. Nc
Laughln brings enchantment in the
view presented; twenty lakes are

SOLDIERS TO GUARD
INDUSTRIAL PLANTS

A memorandum made public by
the war department concerning the
use of armed guards about industrial
plants contains the following:
"The soldier in training who has
offered his life for the defense of
country should not sacrifice his eff
fectiveness by performing police duty
in the protection of property back of
the lines. This is the duty of the
citizen at home.
"The theatre of operations for
armed soldiers is the battlefield of

AMe-Inspiring Scene.


Awe-Inspiring Scene.
Until you shall have seen Crater
Lake, your tour of sightseeing will
be incomplete. 1t is admitted to be
one Of the greatest wonders of the
world, 1t is unique among the great
natural wonders. 1t is the deepest
body Of fresh water in the world,
with the single exception of Lake
Baikal in Siberia. 1t is the crater of
an extinct volcano; the greatest of
its kind, twenty miles in circumfer-
ence, four thousand feet deep, with
a depth of over two thousand feet of
water. Its banks tower two thous-
and feet above the water surface,
from which they appear awe-inspir-
ing in their grandeur. The inside di-
mensions at the water surface are six
and quarter by four and a quarter
miles, and snow-banks perpetually
decorate it's inner rim. There are no
visible inlets or outlets to or from
the lake, and the water as seen from
the cliffs Is in color ultra-marine, eX-
cept in a few shallow places near the
shore, where it changes to the deep
est green. Near the west side is
Wizard Island, a cinder cone, once a
chimney of the old volcano, standing
S45 feet above the water with a era
ter in the top five hundred feet
across and one hundred feet deep.
Other and later craters will be seen
about the west side of Wizard Island
in great lava bed extending from it.
Two miles east of the island the
water is two thousand two hundred
feet deep, making the island noun
tain inside the old crater more than
three thousand feet high. The era
ter in this island also has its banks
Of perpetual snow. Around the banks
fragments of glaciers still cling, and
evidences of glacial action outside of
the great crater, together with the
character of the formation, shows
conclusively that where the lake now
is, was formerly mountain tower
ing, perhaps, six or eight thousand
feet above its present highest point,
which has been torn away and scat
tered over the surrounding country.
is called into action with
little fear of exaggeration. The lake
has been stocked by the government
with rainbow trout, some Of which
have grown to two'f feet in length.
About the lake are many noted
peaks and beautiful natural parks.
The highest points are more than
eight thousand feet above the sea,
and very splendid view is obtained
from any one of them. Join me while
We view this panorama.

Viewing Our
Scenic Panorama

(By C. B. Watson, of Medford Ameri-
CAM
This is an age of commercialism
Dollars and cents furnish the trade
mark in the worlds activity. Climate
and soil must stand the test of adapt
ability and productiveness. The
label on the can or package consti-
tutes the best advertising matter in
this age of money-getting.
The rigors of climate create re-
sourcefulness in the methods devised
to overcome and modify the effects,
and its very inconvenience are pro-
ductive of new fields of energy and
enterprise. The ancient storage bat
teries of the sun are exploited in the
development Of coal mines in cli-
mates most rigorous and regions
most desolate.
The magnificent. forests of our
mountains are attacked by an in
satiable savagery born of greed. The
streams that come leaping and
sparkling, with songs Of promise
from the mountain heights, are
viewed with eyes of cupidity and en-
gineers are employed to estimate the
horsepower they see running away,
or the acres that may be irrigated
by them, the dollar-mark being kept
constantly in view.
The moment a new usefulness is
discovered in the endless bounties of
Nature, the genius of man finds me-
thods Of appropriating it. The beau
ties Of Nature are marred or de-
stroyed with ruthlessness born of
greed, the spirit of the age.
The delightful parks and glades in
our mountain Businesses, where Ma
ture runs riot in the creation of beau
ty and song, are made desoalate for
the benefit of the wool markets and
stockyards. The spirit, however,
which prompts all this is, in the
main, all right. In fact, ! am in
clined to believe with Pope, that
whatever is, is right"
March of Progress.
1t does not follow that, because
the commercial spirit is uppermost
and always aggressive, the esthetic
quality in man is growing less. In
the home we have music, pictures
and poetry, and about the home fruit
flowers and fragrance We live for
love, and love reyels in that which
soothes and pleases the mind. The
grand in Nature finds admiration in
the souls of men, and in the contem-
plation Of it man finds not only rec
reation and rest, but opportunity for
study and food for dreaming. The
softer sentiments wherein lie the
sweetest possibilities are not in the
everyday struggle for lucre, but In
the moments Of respite, when music
the fragrance of flowers
soothes and the poetic sentiment
springs to the spot where room is
made for it.

Example is better than precept.
Don't fail to have a loaded thrift

you're explaining the plan to your
neighbor or your family.

Oregon has had a taste of ship
prosperity and should exert
itself for both state and national
policies which will perpetuate this
industry after the war.

tunes his harp to sing of the beau
ties and grandeur of his native land.
When away from it he longs to re-
turn to it, and it's then, when far
away and homesick, memory comes
to his aid. Again he revels among
the hills and glens of his nativity.
'Tis then the absent Switzer remem-
bers that the highest Alps, the gla-
ciers and sunken lakes make up one
of the grandest assets of his native
land. 1t is there and because Of that,
thousands of pilgrims from all quar-
ters of the globe congregate. There,
for the moment, the struggle for
money is forgotten and the enjoy
ment of the sweets to be purchased
with 1t is felt. There are spent with
lavish hand the dollars that were
elsewhere sought with savage greed.
Grandeur Commercialized.
1t is in the hours of such PLEASURE
that the tight-fisted become the open
handed-those whose country fur
nishes that for which they lavishly
spend the dollars that were else
where sought with almost savage
greed. It is in the hours of such
pleasure these beautiful haunts of
Nature reap rich harvests from for
eign Golfers. To the dwellers there,
the great natural wonders they have
to show become great assets. Noun
tain peaks and glaciers, sunken lakes
and waterfalls are resources and are
counted as such. These things speak
a universal language and are under
stood by the charmed multitude,
though the multitude may not un-
derstand the language Of the human
units that make it up There is in
it universal rythm.
"a motion and spirit, that impel
All thinking things, all objects of all
thought,
And rolls through all things. There
fore, am l lover
OF the meadows and the woods;
And mountains; and all we behold
of this green earth"
So sang Wordsworth of those sub
tie influences awakened in him as he
reveled in the Goods out-of-doors.
Every lover of Nature knows what
such sentiments are and how the
nerves tingle with the joy of the soul,
the pulsating throb of the universe.
The millions upon millions of dol
lars that are annually carried out of
our own country by sightseeing pill
grims to foreign lands are no less
purchasers of the products of such !
lands than are those VINO Duy or their
manufactured articles and the prod I
ucts of their soil. No country is
richer in these natural wonders than |
our own. If such sights and scenes
are resources Of value there, why
ought not we, with many as great
and some greater, class them on the
utilitarian side in that which they
will bring to us from the wealth of
the sightseeing, while at the same
time our esthetic taste is charmed
and strengthened? A whole volume
would be crowded with a meager de-
scription of the sights and scenes in
our own state that are worthy of the
closest attention Of travellers and

within vision, each gem nestlig in
the forests that surround the base of
this mighty mountain. These lakes
are cold, pearly clear and filled with
trout, while the forest abounds in
game.
