LAKEJR PARK Withdrawal of Grazing Lands Would Result In Great Loss to County. WOULD CHARGE TOLL I'asKURe Over ltoadn Would lie Pos sible Only After Paying Fee ' While Camping and SKrtlng lie t fictions lie Enforced That those supporting the-bill ex tending the boundaries of Crater National Park to include Diamond Lake, believing It to be for the best interest of the county, are making a grave -mistake is the belief of some df those who have been giv ing this matter careful study. I Whenever a portion of the na tional forest Is set aside for national park purposes -it passes from the de partment of agriculture to the de partment of the Interior. Whenever an auto or vehicle passes over the boundary line Into the park, after that time, a toll foe of $2.50 must be paid. There are also restrictions against cutting firewood, no hunting Is allowed, a fishing Ifee must be nnld. and there are numerous re strictions and regulations regarding camping. At the present time If a ne-non wants to go to Klamath Falls hv the road from Medford a fee or S2.E0 must be paid at the point i where the road enters the Crater Lake nark, regardless of whether or not the person goes near the lake. A study of the map shows what his will mean. Diamond Lake, in the TJmpnua forest, lies almost due n rth of Crater lake. At the pres ent time a road is being built thm the Crater forest to connect with th road In the Cmnoua forest, leading from Diamond lake. This in turn "onnecta with the road in from Bend and gives a short cut to that' prosperous community. This road skirts closely the hounds of the nrer,ent national park and In the event the boundaries are evtended motorists going to Bend by the new ronte will' be forced to pav toll. This, however, is not the worst 'eatnre. The Diamond lake country 's tho center of the flneat gracing 'and In the Umpnna forest. Sheep 'rem the Ilend country and from 'his section pre grazed In great nmn fcers. Many sheen raisers of this i untv are using the Diamond lake range, while caltle hve also been placed there. The I'orest service restricts the nse of certain area at he lake and reserve It. for camnlng purposes only. Hunting and flshlne -an be enloyed without a foe and "re wood Is procurable In anv mint Mty. The forest service at all times exercises Jurisdiction and its rules re such that almost the same re sults are achieved as in the national ark. but without withdrawing the -razing lands or Interferrlng with he sports and pleasures to be en toyed In 'a camp at this favored spot. Should the nark Ihonndarles be extended the grazing lands 'would be eompletelv withdrawn resulting in a great loss and at the same time the toll rates and the camping restriction would be enforced. This hill la being boosted hv the Vational Park Association and has passed the senate and been referred to the house of representatives. Secretary cF Agriculture Mcrlffth has objected to the psssage of the bill which was not referred to him and his onnos'tlon will have a de cided effect upon the future action of tho house -nd senate. Several commercial bodies sometime ago endorsed- the bill without having given it anv studv and have since revers ed their action and have wired the Oregon delegation to work against the measure. not only has one or two specimens of ripe fruit, but has a goodly number of the "brand tbat made Hoseburg famous." It will bs remembered I hat Mr. Tollman is the gentleman that "slipped one over" on a Cali fornia tourist Inst Thanksgiving when he. won a bet from the expon ent of "sunshine" concerning tho fruit at tbat time of the season. The Calitornlan stated he would pay $5 'per box for every box Mr. Tollman could pick. Without hesitation, the Kdenbower resident gathered flvt' boxes and collected - $25 from the tourist, who was greutly chagrined. CANNERY MEN HERE IN C'HAlUiK OF STATION. James T.
