and bears a descriptive name. The surrounding woods are magnificent, and with the reconstruction of the Willamette Highway between Eugene and Klamath Falls, Crescent Lake is becoming easy of access. Hundreds of visitors linger on the shores of these three lakes during summer months, hunting and fishing in the midst of the most refreshing natural surroundings.
Little known, but growing in importance, are the Olallie Lakes clustered about the foot of Olallie Butte midway between Mt. Jefferson and Mt. Hood. These lakes lie in surroundings popular with the Indians who gave to the Butte the name Olallie, meaning berry. From the summit of this great rocky knob more than 30 lakes may be counted without a glass. The proposed Cascade Range road will pierce the very heart of this region and bring these lakes within a day's drive from Portland. The largest are Olallie, Monon, and Trout, covering many acres, and even the smallest are well stocked with eastern brook trout.

Cullaby Lake, named for a local Indian celebrity, is on the northern part of Clatsop plains and formerly made its outlet through Necoxie Creek, first north and then south to the estuary of the Necanicum River. Cattle grazing along the lower Necoxie cut the nearby sands which were shifted by winds, thus damming the creek and forming Necoxie Lake. A short section of Necoxie Creek still flows into the estuary, but the lake drains to the north back toward Cullaby Lake, which now outlets through Skipanon River. Here is a curious example of, a complete change of direction of stream flow and lake outlet.
Cullaby Lake is the scene of the activities of the Clatsop county cranberry growers, and a number of acres of low land lying adjacent to the lake have been converted into cranberry bogs.
I have already mentioned Wallowa Lake. This is one of the larger mountain lakes of Oregon, and is approxi-
