IRATER LAKE] National park bac
boon termed by many tho eighth
wondor of tho world. Nestling
in tho heart of a great moun
tain which, in agoo past, was a
living volcano, 0,000 foot above tho
sea, with its sapphlro surfaco unruf
fled, reflecting tho many-huod surfaces
of tho 1,000 foot high crater walla
which surrounded it, it is undoubtedly
one of tho mont exquisito gems of
color to bo found in tho world. RB
niuo surpasses tho bluo of tho Bay of
Naples In richness and intensity and
Its somewhat weird surroundings,
pregnant with mystory and solltudo,
ard inperfect harmony with' tho placid
reposo of RB nurfuco.
Ther.v aro glaciers in many coun
tries, high peaks, waterfalls, cascades,

found in many lands, but thero ls only
one Crater lnko. Individuality is as
di ii! cult of attainment in scenery as lt
1? liv persono, and in Crater Lake Na
tional park one finds lt to an extremo
degree. . -.'...<
' Tho people of tho United Staten aro
particularly fortunate in tho posses
sion,of their national parka in that al
most every one of tb ctn has a marked
and. striking individuality and con
tains within its boundaries some fea
tures-which will leave a lasting im
pression and will bo a sourco of Joy
and pleasure when other things ara
forgotten; but of alt tho sights that
can be bad in tho scenic reservations
of ' our i country, perhaps none will j

THE PHANTOM 3*
and will leayo ns lasting, an impres
sion na Crater lake,
Crater Lake National park is in the
Cascado rango of mountains In south
: ern O?egon. Tho lakh is circular in
.'form and about six milos in diameter.
Its surface la at hu elevation Of 6.177
feet above sea lovel and is an averago.
bf 1,000 feet bolow the crest ot tho
. surrounding crater rim. The- great
'cavity in this mountain was'bnco the
crater al ?? activo volcano .which, at
ono timo br another, collapsed, leaving
a receptacle novornl hundred feet In
'..'.depth, which ls now filled with spar
kling blue water, clear as a diamond
';a?S of a bibs that defies description. ,

; .rim of the ereter from which a ;vleifr

which, at thia latitude io covered with I
snows for many months of tho year;
it is howovor, tho most practicable
placo at whl' to locate tho govern
ment headqi .tors and to establish
a small village consisting of a few
stores and supply stations. It is not,
however, at tho rim of tho crater and
therefore could never, under any cir
cumstances, bo a placo whoro tourists
would .bo content to stay, for tboro ls
over tho mountain top with tho lake
beyond beckoning tho traveler to tho
goal ot his.pilgrimage.
Tho establishment of tho village on
tho rim of tho crater overlooking tho
lcko would be ideal, but in certain sea
sons tho snows uro so lato In melting
that tour'^ ts might never reach tho vii?
Iago In tho season of their travel. The
solution, thorofore, appears to be a
doublo vllingo or two stations, one at
the lower level, which opqns several
weoks before tho upper levels, and ono
ot tho rim of the crater. By this
means tourists may r.rrivo at tho lowe
Biatlon, whoro accommodations may
bo found, and proceed to tho rim o'
tho crater by foot when. the road ls
not. passable for vehicular traffic. At
tho rim of tho crater should be estab
lished a socondary village in which
Blooping and eating accommodations
uro provided, together with stores and
i studios which might supply tho wants
of the .tourists. . '
Sailing and Fishing on the Lake. '
Tho desiro of the tourist upon drrlv*
lng at Crater Lake National park is to
reach tho rim of tho crater at the
oarllc8t timo. Onco thore, his all-con
suming desire ls to descend to tho
surface ot tho lake dud to sail upon
UR C5?ATERXAKE
this bluest sea about tho phantom
island and in the Bhadow ot the j?ggea
rim. After be gobs this far, his next
consuming desire will be to hook tho
glorious trout which . may be seen
swimming In tho depths beneath his
boat, A trip of this sort will only fill
him with a further. longing to encircle
the lake on . land around tho rim, so
that he may drink in tho sparkling
colors and deeper shadows ?Tom all
angles. Tho problem, therefore, which
confronts t't.o secretary ot the .interior
is tho development ot roads and trails
about the lake so that the tourist may
receive full satisfaction, and to do this,
plans have'been draw? and work be
gun on the roads and* trails sud Vii*
luge.
. Congress has appropriated money,
whlji ia being expended through tho
war; department, foi the construction
of an encircling road, to be bultt
around tho.crater. This road is under
.construction abd a material portion of
it bas benn'completed. The three en*,
trance roads, one from ?Medford on the
weat/ ona from K'.amath Falls on the
south, and one along' Sand crook on
tho east, have been completed and airs

The preparations made by ns this year for your convenience during the Xmas Shopping season is one of the best
reasons we have for asking you to do your shopping here.
Another reason we have in making this request is the fact that our lines are much larger, more varied and at less
money than many of our competitors from the mere fact that we anticipated the extreme advance on all goods.
And we take stock immediately after Christmas, so we have already cut prices on lots and lots of winter goods, in
order to move it out of the house NOW.
