The board of governors of the Portland Commercial club, at toduy's meeting, unanimously indorsed the movement to construct a boulevard from Medford to Crater Lake, and agreed to render every possible assist ance to the Medford Com mercial club-Crater Lake boulevard commission in their campaign for funds to carry on this work. The Crater Lake National park should bo as easily ac cessible to the great army of tourists who come west each year as are the Yellowstone Park and Yosemite Valley it would bo of inestimable value to the city of Portland and the entire state of Oregon. It is hoped Unit the people of Portland will substantially support this project. (Signed.) II. IiECKWITII, President. f . f PORTLAND, Juno 23. (Special.) Tlio abovo resolution "was unani mously adopted by tho board of governors of tho Portland Commer cial club at a meeting held Tuesday noon, following a conference with representatives of tho Medford Commercial club Crater Lnko high way commission. Brief talks wore mudo by John M; "Root, J. D, Heard, E. 13. Waterman and Q. Putnam, of the commission, ulso by Judgo George Baldwin of Klamath Falls, Judgo W. M. Davis and Will G, Steol of Portlund. Tho Crater Lake highway projoct was originated by tho Medford Com mercial club two years ago, and $20,000 in Portland, so that half of it, $25,000, may be expended during the next few months in eliminating tho worst features of tho present wagon road. When the government was assured of the construction of the road by popular subscription, Engineer B. F. Ilcidcl, of the good roads section of the department of agriculture, was sent to take charge of surveys and construction work, and all tho money collected will bo spent under his di rection. No money is to bo spent for rights of way or other purposes ex cept actual construction. Mr Heidl this week completes preliminary sur veys and estimntes for that section of tho road to bo built through tho forest reserve by tho forestry bu reau, and that to be built by popular subscription, extending down the Itoguo river from Prospect. A 4 per cent grade has been secured, which will eliminate tho worst obstacle of the present road, Flounce Rock hill, where in five-eighths of a mile the present road climbs approximately COO feet. It will require $230,000 to build the 80 miles of road from Medford to the lake. Of this 80 miles, 55 miles lies outside tho government do mniu, and must bo built by popular subscription. Tho present rond will bo pussahle for automobiles with the work to be done this year, and tho commission must be nssured of monoy at once to award contracts at the same timo tho forestry bu reau lets its contract for its section, so that a lower figure can bo so cured. Tho Crater Lnko highway commis sion is composed of leading citizens of Medford; tho money received is deposited equally in the four banks of Medford, whoso, presidonts form an advisory committee. No monoy will bo paid out except upon requisi tion of the engineer, who hns entire chnrgo of route, ns well as contracts. Until tho Crater Lake National park is made accessible to the pub lic, the government will not spend any money in improving it. When it is made accessible, appropriations totaling several millions will be asked by the departments of the interior and agriculture of congress for pnrk improvement, tho secretaries having committed themselves to this effect. When the Oregon supreme court held that Crater Lake was n locul affair the government lost interest in the proposed improvements, fed eral officials holding thnt if Crater Lake was a local affair, so was the Yellowstone. Upon being assured, however that the rond would be built by popular subscription, they at onco promised co-operation, sending their engineer to take charge of the road and expending' $5000 on hand for rond improvement in tho Crater na tional forest. Had it hot been for tho attempt made by the Medford club and tho assurances given, gov ernment departments would have dropped the matter in disgust, and diverted the money into other chan nels. The commission insists thnt the subscription is n state affair and not a Medford or Southern Oregon pro ject, and the United States govern ment considers it a national affair. The commission holds that it is tho duty of all the stato to open up Its greatest scenic wonder, and that the burden should not be borne entirely by one small community. The tour ist travel which will result from making the lake accessible will ben efit every portion of Oregon, partic ularly Portland, and therefore the appenl is made to Portland to stand shoulder to shoulder with Medford in promoting tho enterprise. option in which tho Roguo Hiver Irri gation & Power company holds for forty days from LiBt Saturday tho op tion of purchase of all property and property rights of tho local company, Including tho ditches, machinery, livestock, etc., and nloo tho tranchlno from tho city of Grants Pass. Healdos a small consideration for this option tho Itoguo Ilivor Irrigation & Power Co. agrees that if It docs not fill Tl 111 Its part of the contract It forfeits its right to the lands on both aides of Savage Rapids and aleo tho wator right and dam site connected there: with. The principal object of tho forty days wns to enahlo tho new company nn opportunity to solicit and procuro contracts with prospective wator ub ers for future Irrigation within tho .' districts above mentioned and an ef fort will bo made to get 40,000 acres signed up, and If they succeed In that they will at tho end of forty days pay tho local company 15,000. If tho abovo conditions provo succocoful tho new company will then pay to tho lo cal company $40,000 moro, whon they will acatilro all tho right and titlo to the local company's Interests, tho $40,000 holnu paid la two Install ments, $20,000 on Jan. 2, 1911, and $20,000 Jan. 2, 1912.
