ROAD ALONG RIM
OF CRATER LAKE
Greatest Scenic Boulevard in America
Proposed Runs Along Tops of Peaks
and Through Tremendous Gorges
Garden of Stone Pillars.
O. C. Applognte of Klamath Falls
has written a letter concerning tho mt
posed scenic ruad about 'rat er hike.
The building of this highway would add
a great deal to the attract ivi-ness of
Oregon's wonder IjiUo, and iiicrense the
number of tourist, directly benefiting
both Klamath Fulls and Medford. Mr.
Applegatc says:
"It is a source of gratification to the
people of the' Klamath country, as in
deed it stiould h tti the people of the
state generally who appreciate the fact
that Crater hike is the crowning scenic
wonder of our picturesque Cascade
chain, to see that Senator Fulton has
bncliert up Superintendent ArnntH prop
osition to have .K,()i)ii appropriated for
tho improvement of tho park by secur
ing an amendment to the sundry civil
bill in tho senate. It is tn be hoped
that no conference committee ax or
other agency will be used to reduce
this conservative sum, for oven $10,(100
is far too small n sum for the purpose
desired. Superintendent Araut asked
for something less than $11,00(10 and,
before Senator Fulton's action, this hud
boen cut down to $.1000, a mini wholly
inadequate, as after the compensation
of tho superintendent and his necessary
assistants in the patrol of the park
should come out of the sum, practically
nothing would be I. -ft to advance the
work of road making in the park.
Along Rim of Crater.
"Tho scenic road could be built at
such an elevation that all points of
interest on the rim would be easily ac
cessible from it. The distance required
to encircle tho lake and the rugged por
tion of its rim would probably be
something over ISO miles, and would' trav
erse a region of splendid natural beau
ty. This scenic road, encircling tho
great cliffs, and crags, with the most
wonderful hike in the world on one side
and a panoramic view of vast areas of
mountains, valleys and hikes, and the
leagues and leagues of splendid forests
ou both sides of the Cascade chain, look
ing upon these varying views from the
very summit of the mountains, would
probably make this the greatest scenic
road in America.
41 Tho writer wns with Secretary Gar
Held lust summer when he scaled the
rugged peak on the rim of Crater lake,
which now bears his name, and dis
cussed with him the idea of construct
ing such a scenic road as wo have des
cribed, and he, full of enthusiastic, ad
miration of Crater lake and its sur
roundings, heartily approved of tho idea,
lie will surely take a deep interest in
carrying the enterprise to a successful
termination.
Build Third at Once.
I "Mr. A rant's plan was to undertake
this summer to open nearly a third of
the scenic road, and, in company with
the other mountaineers, made, a careful
exploration, to determine the practica
bility of the route from his headquar
ters on Annie creek, via Sun creek can
yon, Kiser's falls, (in Wield and Apple
gate peaks to the canyon of Sand creek,
and with the greatest success; for while
this 10 or 111 mill's is the roughest por
tion of the rim, a road can be made,
with an outlay of say $l;",0n0 or less,
that would be an easy one for carriages
of- all kinds, including those driven by
motor power.
"The upper valley of Sun creek,
through which the road will pnss. is a
grassy area where thousands of tour
ists could spread their tents nniong the
hemlock trees about the purling brooks
nnd enjoy an ideal outing, with two
grout mountain walls rising tn a height
of 1000 feet on either hand, and Kiser's
fall, It no feet high, hanging like a white
scarf from the escarpment on tho west.
Garden of Stone Pillars.
"The first thrd of the scenic road
would reach the needles or pinnacles on
Sand creek canyon, whore pitlnrs of
stone rising to a height of SO or 100
feet,' stand out independently from the
bluffs, scattered nnd in groups, like
monuments to heroes of some past ago.
These are six or eight hundred in num
ber nnd nro not the least in interest
among tho ninny attractions in tin' Cra
tor lake wonderland.'

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
PLANS NEW LINE
Branches to Bun From Goose Lake to
a Connection With Oregon & Eastern
and From A 1 turns Through Modoc.
Lassen, Plumas and Tehama Counties.
The Goose Luke nnd Southern Rail
way ocmpauy has been formed, and its
articles of incorporation filed in the
otlice of the county clerk of Shasta
county, California, showing the declared
intention to build a standard gauge
main Hue from a connection with the
Oregon & Eastern railway at the Oregon
and 4 'aliforuiu boundary line on the
eastern shore of Goose lake to a point
in Shasta county at or near tho town
of Anderson, where a junction is to be
formed with the Southern Pacific rail
road.
That iti s a branch of the Southern
Pacific is shown by the personnel of
the new corporation, composed of K. K.
Calvin, general manager of hte South
ern Pacific company; William F. Mer
rill, chief of the Southern Pacific law
department ; William Hood, chief en
gineer of the Southern Pacific company,
and W. li. Scott and L. .1. Wilcutt, both
oflicials of the name company.
The papers filed show t hat. Calvin
and llerriu have each subscribed 200,.
000 and the other three incorporators
$2000 each. Ten per cent of the whole
amount, or iflti.liirO, has been paid in,
as certified to by Secretary of Slate
Curry. The capitalization is $i:i,:i)S,000,
or :i;(,0o00 a mile.
It is also tho intention of tho com
pany to build a branch lino from Altu
rus through Modoc, Lassen, Plumas and
Tehama counties to a connection with
the Southern Pacific railroad nt or near
tho town of Vina. This lino is to bo 170
miles in length, while the main-line
will have an estimated length of 227
miles, making a total ot 400 miles.
These projected lines aro intended to
head off Thomas B. Walker's proposed
railroad or possible feeders of tho West
ern Pacific and at the same time shut
out the Sacrnmento valley and Kastern
from proceeding up the Pit river pass
to a transcontinental connection oast of
the Sierras.
INVESTIGATE POSSIBILITIES
OF TURPENTINE IN OREGON
L. W. Jluwley, expert on wood dis
tillation for tho forest service, has just
left Washington for Oregon, Washing
ton, Montana and Idaho, to investigate
the possibilities of ft future turpentine
industry in tho northwestern portion of
tho United States.
Mr. Hawlev ha slakeu with him a
small distillation apparatus, which he
will set up at various places in these
states, distilling the different woods to
determine their value in the production
of turpentine. In this muiiuer an aceit
rale idea of the kield of extracts from
Ihe various woods can be obtained, and
samples of the maloriall will be sent
to Washington for analysis and estima
tion of its value for use in paints, var
nishes and other naval stores.
There are at tho present time in the
northwest several wood distilling plants
which aro producing various grades of
turpent ine, wood preserving oils, and
materials of a similar nature. It is be
lievd that a careful study of existing
conditions in this section will yield re
sults which will give an accurate idea
of the possibility of utili.ing the etior
mons quantity of sawmill refuse now
going to waste.
APPROPRIATIONS EXCEED LAST
SESSION BY $300,000,000
WASHINGTON, May 21. The pros
out session of congress to end this week
is a record-breaker. Tho appropriations
of this session so far authorized ex
ceed those of the first session of the
.".0th congress by more than $:i0n,onu,
nnit. The total appropriations made up
to this time aggregate approximately
$ri4,MJ.M)7. This amount will be in
creased by the general deficiency and
omnibus public buildings bills and such
other measures as may go through be
fore adjournment.
The session has also established a
high record for the number of bills, res
olutions introduced and considered nnd
for the transaction of executive busi
ness. There have been 7127 bills in
troduced iu the senate and 21.040 in the
house. In the senate 00 joint resolu
tions were offend, of which 30 were
passed and 0 have become laws.
The senate considered 11 simple res
olutions.
lp to this C:ne 115 bills and 1" joint
resolutions have become laws. The sen
ate has passed 44 bills, 17 of which
were omnibus pension bills.
It is estimated that these measures
represented more than -"(Hi individual
claims and that the saving in printing
and handling them approximated
Tho executive business done by the
senate this session is almost three times
greater than Was handled during any
previous session. Pp to this time I!l
I reat ies have been rat if ied and made
public.
