About 02 mtles of good roads and 100 miles of trails. In the opinion of Major Morrow, will enable tho tour ist to reach the most Important spots In tho partt with facility, nnd, while the estimated cost Is high, ho be lieves the expenditure Is fully Justi fied, particularly as It Is proposed to build the roads for automobile travel. Compared with tho cost of building roads In tho Yellowstone and Ilalnler National parks, -where tho topography Is similar to that In tho Crater lako park, Major Morrow says the figure cited Ir his estimates aro riot excess Blve. but about on a par with tlio nctual cOBt of building roads over" like territory In tho two older parks "It Is of paramount Importance, says Major Morrow, In his report, to tho War department, "to uulld a road encircling the crater aa near its tlta as possible. In order that the lako may bo viewed from all possible points. It also Is necessary to build roads from the rim road to tho two entrances, utilizing tho existing rorfds as much as possible, and to provide for a road to tho eastern boundary, as this will shortly bo tho principal entrance to tho nark, when the Na tron cutoff Is completed. About ,100, miles of trails aro necessary to malujj accessible other spots -which can hardly bo reached by roads." Detailed Estimates. Tho detailed estimates submitted1 to congress by Major Morrow aro as" follews: .

Not only does It look down upon America's deepest lako. h'inc like a bluo amethyst in mystic beauty, and admittedly un rivaled among tho world's natural wo?idjrst but it affords a marvelous panorama of mountain scenery, of bleak hills and verdure-clad slopes. of snowy peaks a bewildering mul titude, of mountain ranges stretching toward horizons in very direction as far as the eye can see.
