Editorial Party will Go
Over Dead Indian Road

which has won the name Of the
prettiest mountain lake of them all, :"
many valley people have taken up
the summer homesites allowed by
the forest reserve people and have
built and are building summer
homes. This lake Is located thirty
six miles from Ashland at the foot
of majestic Mount Mclaughlin
whose snow-capped summit towers
nearly 10000 feet into the air. Tho
road winds along the shores Of this
lake for miles. The lake has a fine
beach and is ideal for bathing and
boating. Good fishing is also found
there.
Much road work is being done on
this highway TO Crater Lake and will
he hurried to get the road into the
best possible. shape for the coming
visit OF the editors. Out of Ashland
the road winds up steady grade to
the summit of the Cascades, four.
teen miles from the city. From the
summit the road winds for twenty
two miles thru a heavily timbered,
rolling country to Lake Of the
Woods. Some of the finest noun
tain stock ranches in this part OF
the state and many fine fishing
streams are found along this route.
From Lake OF the Woods there is
quite a few small grades in the 13
miles to Pelican Bay where the road
Joins with the Klamath county road
which skirts the western shore of
Klamath Lake. At Pelican bay Is
located Hartman Lodge. the ia
nous mountain home Of the great
railroad magnate in years gone by.
There are many lake resorts along
the road from the Lodge to Fort
Klamath and many fine fishing
streams are crossed in those twenty
four miles. From Fort Klamath to
Crater Lake 1t is twenty-five miles,
this being the road used by those
entering thru Klamath Falls.
Thus the total distance from Ash
land is nInety-two miles making this
route the shortest distance from the
Pacific highway to the lake of any
OF the routes. It is bound to be-
come one of the most popular in the
coming days. Ashland has become
the starting point for most OF the
acknowledgements who visit Crater
Lake. the auto-camp here in Lithia
park having won the reputation OF
being one of the best in the country
The Ashland-Crater Lake road is
in good condition with the excep-
tion of few rough places just this
side and the other side Of Lake Of
the Woods which can be ironed out
with a few days work. The forestry
sSrvice will be called upon to aid In
this work.
Ashland will furnish its share of
the automobiles to transport the
Editorial party to Crater Lake.
From the Lake the entire party will
return to Ashland where picnic
dinner will be served in Lithia park
Swimming at the sulphur baths here
will also be an attraction sure to
please the visitors after their long
ride from the Lake.
The Commercial club will have
committees at work in a day or two
on securing the automobiles neces-
sary, arranging dinner details and
the score of other features connect
ed. with giving the editorial party a
royal time.

ton. which will visit Crater Lake on
August 11th and 18th, win go
either to or from Crater Lake, over
the Ashlslnd-Crater Lake road,
which is known as the Dead Indian
road. Owing to the large number
Of cars necessary to transport the
party of 25O or more editors, the
executive committee in charge OF the
Southern Oregon entertainment have
decided TO spin the party in halt,
sending one Ayision to the Lake
over the Rogue River road from
Medford and the other division over
the Dead Indian road from Ashland
Each division will return over the
other route than which they trayers-
ed going up. This will enable the
party to be taken to and from the
lake in half the time necessary UNI
der the old plan of sending and
bringing home over the Rogue Riv-
er road and will enable the entire
party to see Klamath Lake, Lake Of
the, Woods and the beautiful Dead
Indian country.
The decision to use the Dead In
dian road is one Of the biggest
strokes OF luck that has come Ash
lands way for many moons. This
road. the shortest and most beauti-
full scenic route to Crater Lake, has
been practically Ignored while all
work and advertising has been con-
centrated on the Klamath and Med
ford gateways. A number of Ash
landers. who have long realized the
value OF this road as a tourist at
traction and eventually as market
route to open up the Fort klamath
country to Ashland. have been work
ing for the road for years and this
year Jack True is in charge OF 9
crew which is building new road
TO the summit and doing other i'm
proyement work WHICH will make
the trip much easier. The only re-
ally rough places are in the forest
reserve. The fact OF the National
Editorial Association being routed
over the road will give Ashland an
excellent leverage in demanding inn
provement and recognition for their
road. President Tre!chler OF the
Medford Commercial club made the
trip to Crater Lake thru Dead In
dian Sunday and declares the road
practical for the trip. Medford will
probably cooperate in getting fine

ENABLE tourists to make the loop

Polk County Buying Much Feed.

That Polk county suffered from the drouth last year is more fully realized by the amount of feed stuffs that are being taken out by farmers. As an example, the Mena Flour Mills last year was taking care of surplus corn of the farmers at $1.75 per bushel, while this year, the same firm is ship ping in corn, which they sell at the same price as paid last year. More and more Polk county is coming up to the slogan aLet Polk County Feed Herself" :" and with normal summer In 1918, very little feed would have been bought
