Lake O'Woods Will
Be Popular Tourist
Resort This Summer

Lake OF the Woods promises to be
one of the greatest summer play
grounds of southern Oregon. An Or
ganization has been recently formed,
known as the Lake of the Woods
Recreation association. comprised Of
the lot holders and property owners
at the lake, for the purpose OF i'm
proving and increasing the recrea-
tiOnal features. This association will
work in conjunction and under the
supervision Of the forest service de-
partment. The plans of the associa-
tion include the blazing of new
trails to nearby points Of interest,
further stocking OF the lake with
bass and trout, providing more ac-
commodations for tourist visitors and
improving and eqaipping park and
playground.
There are now 4S psrmittees at the
lake, 40 OF whom have already built
cabins on their lots. 1t is believed
that with the new road completed
this number will be increased to zoo
during the next summer. Fifteen Of
the cabins are owned by Ashland cit
izens, most OF whom spend from two
weeks to three months at the lake.
Many families remain there during
the entire summer while business
men from all the neighboring towns
drive up there on Saturday nights
and return to their offices Monday
mornings.
On the old road the distance from
Ashland to the lake is 351a miles,
but this distance is heightened about
two miles by the new road. The grade
on the new road Is In no place over
ten per cent, and will average about
five per cent for the entire distance.
The road is standard, being from 10
10 16 feet wide with solid roadbed.
The road takes off from the Pa
eific highway three miles east OF
Ashland, at what 10 known az the
Owens place. The fret point OF in

shaped mass OF limestone near the
five-mils post. On one side the rock

as you pass around TO the east, the
face of an Indian is clearly outlined.
The road rises gradually uD the
south slope Of Dead Indian Creek
canyon and as you near the summit,
you can see clearly the beautiful
snOw-capped peaks of the Siskiyous,
and below parts of the Rogue River
valley. Here the road passes through
heavy stands Of yellow pine and red
and white fir. The summit, $500
feet elevation, is IL miles from Ash
land. Five miles of thickly wooded
slope and you reach Spencer's Cove,

forest Is utterly wretched, battered
and riyen and plowed with gigantic
plows Of destruction. The land
stretches away under leaden skies, a
dreary desert. the very burnt out
craters OF an aw,nl Nolcano. This is
the Krenhilde line. out through this
waste the wagons wallow, through
oDliterated roads. The men winding
about to miss the shell holes and
the tangled wire and wrecked trench
that sends forth sick, deadly smell
of rOtted earth. The haunting, bitter
odor of spent gas. A dreafy, depress-
ing smell, once known, never to be
forgotten. With the gathering dusk
the rain comes on like silent, hope
less weeping of the women of France.
To the left, hill in dark, ghostly
silhouette; again, darkenlng the
heavens, rows on rows of black
crosses spread their arms across the
sodden mounds beneath.
Only the sounds of marching feet
tramping onward into the night, the
rafting of chains and the low chuck
ling talk of the wagons The swish
and whisper of the rain in the dead
leaves out through the broken forest.
Down a little hill and the brush
and trees withdraw their muffled
forms away from the road, halt is
called. The black bulk of an officer
passes down the line and informs our
eager ears that our downy couches
await us in the field to the right,
and be careful we don't fall in shell
hole; also, remember, positively no
lights. The caution about she'll holes
is well-taken. Great ponds of water,
some three feet deep, await the un-
wary searcher for a place to spread
his blankets. Lucky indeed is he
who can find spot large enough to
spread a shelter tent, before he
plunges to the waist in sinking
bath occupying a shell crater. First
you spread your rain coat, then your
overcoat, then your blankets, and
lowering yourself gently into your
bed, you sink softly into a dreamless
sleep.
In the still, cold dawn Of the
morning, you awake to find your
feet freezing in pool of green, stag
nant water, while your head rests a
few feet from the carcass OF a
friendly mule who had departed this
life not many days gone by in the
service of you and your country. Such
Is one day of the sightseeing you
hear so much about. Others? Oh,
yes, many of them. 1t was SOME
SHOW.

Rogue River Ab0unds
In Trout and Salmon

At all seasons OF the year--sprlng
summer, autumn and winter-there
is good fishing and plenty of fish in
Rogue river. or course, this does not
mean that even the most expert fish
erman can go out any time the spirit
moves him and return with a large
string of fish. Anyone who has had
experience In angling for trout or sal
mon will know better than than.
Trout and salmon are temperamental
and many day you may spend whip
ping the waters of Rogue river from
dawn to sunset and have little to
show for your efforts beyond sun
burned face and peeled nose.
Rogue river, having its source in
the snow-capped heights Of the Cas-
cade mountains, meanderlng its en-
tire length of over 200 miles through
rough and mountainous country to
empty its waters in the Pacific, Is
one Of the grandest trout streams in
the world. Snow fed at its source.
gathering volume from cold springs
and creeks on Its way to the sea. un-
sullied by any long stretches of stag
nant marsh and unpolluted by the
filth Of great cities, 1t is the ideal
home of the trout and salmon
species.
From their home in the salt water
Of the Pacific, great schools of roy
al chinook, silverside salmon and
steelheads enter the fresh water and
seek their spawning grounds in the
gravel beds of Rogue river. With
wonderful strength and vitality they
leap the falls and rapids and battle
the currents in their efforts to reach
the waters that are purest and cold

delightful camping spot. The next
two miles Is beautiful prairie, cOv-
cred with grass and flowers, where
hundreds of cattle are seen grazing
throughout the summer.
Passing through another stretch OF
fir and pine, you get the first glimpse
of the Lake of the Woods, only 200
yards ahead, heart-shaped gem like
an emerald In one Of the most per-
feet settings in the world.
The lake is four and one-half miles
long by one and a half miles wide. lt
Is fed continually by white, churn-
ing, ribbon-like streams suspended
from the pale green mountains above.
Three sides of the lake are surround
ed by mountains, while the fourth
opens into a large meadow On the
east shore strip, two miles in
length. has been set aside for lots.
The simple, rustic cottages that have
been built, front the lake and are
set back about so feet
Two large springs furnish water,
which some day will be piped into the
cottages.
Boating, bathing, fishing, hiking,
hunting and picking huckleberries
are the main sports at the lake. Tour
lists may rent boats from the forest
service concession, while two-thirds
of the permittees have private boats.
There Is an excellent bathing beach,
and as the water has an average
temperature Of 60 degrees, the bath
ing is very pleasant. The lake has
been stocked with bass and rainbow
trout which promises to make it a
great fishing ground in the near flu
ture. The timber near the lake IS
quite open, making 1t possible to
hike in nearly any direction, while
several trails have been made, and
others are proposed. There is a
trail to the top of Mount Mclaughlin,
distance OF IL miles.
There are higher mountains on
the coast, Mclaughlin being only
9493 feet elevation, but none have
a greater capacity for arOuslng
mountaineering blood. Furthermore
there are few peaks, even of greater
height, that offer the same thrills,
From the government fire station at
the summit, may be seen 2S lakes,
the tops Of the Cascade range, the
Rogue River valley and the Crater
Lake mountains, besides all the sur
rounding peaks.
During the last seven years the
number of visitors to Lake Of the
Woods has doubled each year. Now.
with the new road completed, many
tourists visiting Crater Lake will re-
turn to the highway by way of Lake
of the Woods.

est. In the higher altitude where
the river is a series of white falls
and where the angler seldom yen-
lures every little creek Is alive with
native trout. So there are always
game fish in the Rogue river ready
(when the humor strikes themj to
seize the natural bait or strike the
artificial lure.
Late in June the summer steel
heads begin to appear and then the
grandest fly-fishing the world knows
begins. From June till December
they take the fly and the Rogue
river steelhead has the reputation of
being the hardest fighter for his size
and weight among game fish.
Spawned and hatched in a mountain
torrent, infant days spent in boiling
and fOaming rapids, he becomes a
living dynamo of strength and beau
ty Nothing in the line of sport sends
such an electric thrill through YOU as
when he grabs your fly and tries to
make off with all your tackle. Ev-
cry trick known to fish or man he
tries in his efforts to rid himself of
the barb. making a gallant fight for
life and liberty. You give and take,
matching wit of human skill against
the vile of cunning brain. and with
your slender rod of bamboo you are
for time helpless against his six
pounds of dynamic energy. But, af-
ter time. persistence begins to tell.
His frantic rushes become shorter,
his struggles become series OF short
jerks, you retrieve more of the line,
and finally he gives up the fight and
allows you to slide him safely out
on the sloping gravel.
