Crater Lake in Fiction
"Marooned in Crater Lake" is the
title of the leading story in the Oc-
tober number of the st. Nicholas
magazine, and bears the name of
Alfred Powers, of the extension de-

gon. The story, concerning a boy
marooned on the island and his in

will hold much of interest to many
Eugeneans who are familiar with
Oregon's famed beauty spot and will
also probably result in much discus
sion as to whether the plot of the
story is based on an actual happen
ing. The story, according to the edi-
tors of the magazine, is the best
piece OF fiction appearing in the pub
lication for some time. Eugene
