N HASTE S URGED ON GRATER LAKE ROAD Army Engineer's Report Tells Scenic Beauty Traversed by Proposed Highways. OREGON'S BENEFIT SHOWN Completion of Project Before Open ing of It 15 Fair Pressed In Or der That Tourists Mar Visit Great National Park. OREGONIAN NEWS Bl'REAC. Wash ington. Dec. 14 "It la doubtful If any rlew existing in the world today la as Impressive and at the same time as beautiful as the view of Crater Lake from the rim." said Major Jar J- Mor row, of the Army Engineering Corps. In transmitting a report to the War Department, recommending the expen diture of iCIZ.OOO for the construction of roads and trails In the Crater Lake National Park. . Coupled with his appreciation of the scenic beauty of Crater Lake Park, Major Morrow urgently recommends that the main roads, for which he has made surveys and estimates, be rushed to completion in order that thousands who visit the San Francisco Exposition In 1J16 may. en route to or from Port land, stop off a day and see the park. If these roads can be completed In time. Major Morrow thinks the Crater Lake tour will prove to be one of the favorite side trips of travelers. Vtgarea Declared He.ewable. About ! miles of good roads and 140 miles of trail. In the opinion of Major Morrow, will enable the tourist to reach the moat Important spots In In the park with facility, and. while the estimated cost Is high, he believes the expenditure Is fully Justified, par ticularly as it is proposed to build the roads for automobile travel. Compared to the cost of building roads in the Yellowstone and Rainier National Parks, where the topography Is similar to that In the Crater Lake Park. Major Morrow says the figures cited In his estimates are not excessive, but about on a par with the actual cost of build ing roads over like territory In the two older parks. It probably will be somasvhat diffi cult to secure an appropriation of 1S0. 000 this session for beginning work on the Crater Lake roads, for the House la Inclined to hold down appropriations, and National park Improvements are never regarded aa of vital Importance. However. It Is probable that some mem bers of the California delegation will Join bands with the Oregon delegation In urging a liberal allowance, and. Jointly, these two delegations may be able to get what the Army Engineers are asking. Crater Lake Park, Is about aa accessi ble to San Francisco as It Is to Port land, or will be when the Natron cut off Is completed, and California will benefit aa much as Oregon from tour ist. traveL Read Estrealea Xeeded. "It Is of paramount Importance," aays Major Morrow, in his report to the War Department, "to build a road encircling the crater as near its rim aa possible, in order that the lake may be viewed from all possible points. It also Is necessary to build roads from the rim road to the two entrances, utilising the existing roads aa much aa possible, and to provide for a road to the eastern boundary, aa this will shortly be the principal entrance to the park, when the Natron cut-off la completed. -The railroad then will be only ten miles from the park. It Is also advis able to build a road leading to The Pinnacles, which can later be extended to a fourth entrance. If desired. About 100 miles of trails are necessary to make accessible other spots which can hardly be reached by roads." The detailed estimates submitted to Congress by Major Morrow are as fol lows: Rim road, around the rim of the " crat.r. s mil.. 4H.non Itoad to the I'lnnacl.a.

"The approach from Fort Klamath to the rtm of the lake at the present lodge of the Crater Lake Company should first be built by grading only, and then the grading of the rim road from the lodice of Round top. a distance of 10 miles, should be completed," says Major Morrow. "After the completion of this work. If the Natron cut-off is completed, the IV a r Creek road should then be Im proved by surfacing, while the remain der of the rim road la being graded. The road to The Pinnacles should be undertaken last of alL "The first appropriation should be 1100.000. with $;i.0o0 for the next two years, and after that 1100.000 a year until the system Is finished. The grad ing from Klamath entrance and the Bear Creek or eastern entrance. In cluding : miles of the rim road con necting the two establishments f the Crater Lake Company, together with considerable surfacing of this much of the system, could be completed in three working seasons, and all of this road, together with the Me.iford entrance, could be graded and surfaced by the end of the fourth season. Karly roaotraettoa I rged. "It Is the opinion of this office that ss much of this work as possible should be completed prior to the San Francis co Exposition In 191i. In which event the trip to the-park will be one of the f.ivorite side trips of tourists going from Portland to San Francisco. A continuing contract providing for the completion of the entire road system, similar to continuing contracts on riv er and harbor contracts, la strongly recommended-" The road around the rim of the lake Is plarard to cross the face of the Watchman Fasa. behind Glacier Teak, returning to the rtm before passing behind Llao Rock, thence following the rtm closely until Cloudcap ts reached. It then Dasses successively behind the mountain masses of the Inside slopes of Mount Scott and Duitou luff, but returns to the rim again at Sun Creek Notch, from which point it recedes, passing behind Vldae and Oarfleld Peak.

Two Men Force Her to Take Off Diamond's Valued at $450, Lock Her In Room and Escape. Attacked for the third time within a year In the Elkton rooming-house, 2H Nortli Sixth street, by robbers. Mra. Adelle Sullivan, keeper of the bouse, was relieved of a pair of dalmond ear rings which she values at 1450. early yesterday. The robbers also took $26 from her purse and carried away a bunch of keys, shutting off access to every door and drawer In the house. On one former occasion a robber fired a shot at Mrs. Sullivan through a door and on another she herself fired a rusty pistol after retreating thieves. The robbery yesterday morning was perpetrated by two men. apparently drunk, who applied for lodgings. She showed them to a room and was about to leave when one of them called her back to demand the key of the room. He then thrust a revolver in her face and ordered hex to remove th. earrings. . mtA xi nnir Vi mire and which .no .w- w- - - - the bunch of keys and then the two men left the room, locking her Inside. Mrs. Sullivan was released and re ported to the city detectives. She de scribes the men, one as being about five feet, seven Inches tall, weighing ISO pounds and wearing a light soft shirt and black suit. His complexion was florid. The other waa five feet, 11 inches tall, slender and dark and wore a black suit. About two weeks ago two men en-. tered the place, switched off the lights and packed up a lot of clothing, when Mrs. Sullivan was awakened by their movements. She seised an ancient ulstol and attempted to fire It, but had to use both hands and missed the thieves, who escaped. About a year ago a man went to tne rooming-house late at night, applying for a room and attempted to force his way Inside. Mrs. Sullivan slammed the door in his face, when he fired at her through the door and ran away. The bullet struck a pillow In the room. Industrial Course Known Soon. SALEM.
