ActinaT'Upon the privileges granted him by the secretary of tha Interior during his recent visit to Washington. William Olalstona Steel, who labored for IT years' to have the district about the lake sat aside as a national park, will begin early this summer to make the " first permanent Improvements. , . . rrovlde Vtaga yaoflltiea. t Mr. Btetl baa been granted tha camp ' ing , privileges - about Crater lake through an application which he filed : with the secretary of tha Interior, -and he 4 making preparations now to carry on an active campaign of Improvement , during the aummer months. , Tha flrat atep to be taken will be to provide a launch with a carrying capac ity of a or passengers. This will be on tha waters of the lake this sum . mar while other improvement are galn - ing headway, among the first of which will be the erection of a suitable hotel for tourists, to be followed later by additions and other larger buildings. ' Stage lines will be established between ' the Ui:e and -Tort Klamath, . on tha astern wide of tha Cascades, and ' a route will also bo In operation between tha lake and soma convenient point on the Southern Pacific . ,: 11: Boat ervloa a'taka.'"' . :' ' As aulckly as possible hotels "and other buildings will be erected along tha shores and water will be carried down to aupply these from the district back of tha lake, where mountain water can ba secured in unlimited .. quantities. three-Inch pipe system under gravity force Is the plan arranged. .In addition to the launch which will be placed In commission.' smaller boat service will be maintained and aa soon as possible a system of roadways about tha lake will b built - , ; i . i Mr. Steel la closing up his real estate business here In Portland, preparatory to devoting his entire time to tha super vision of the Improvement work which will ba carried on aa rapidly as poaalbla during tha coming aummer. He will leave here aoon for southern Oregon, where great enthusiasm over the pro posed pians has already been displayed, and ' will enlist the financial assistance of tha business Interests In that section of the state. It Is probable, too, that no little help will be proffered him from Portlanders, who are anxious to pro mote such prelects aa Mr. Steel has in charge. ..- ' Another Yellowstone. Tha privilege extended to Mr. Bteel by the department .of the interior will not exclude private individuate from camming In tha park at any time, only that th latter will not be permitted to establish permanent camps.. The prtvl leges given to Mr. Steel by the Wash ington officials are In view of making Improvements and attractive features In the park similar in 'scope to those new existent in Yellowstone national park... Owing to the proximity of the park to the Southern Paclflo railroad and the stage connections . which will be made with tha latter line, there is little donbt that the road will advertise Cra ter lake national park as extensively as the Northern Psctflo has advertised the Yellowstone. With the Improve ments completed In Crater lake park. and Its picturesque features heralded aa widely as can be done through rail road literature and persistent advertis ing; It Is believed that Oregon's na tlonal park will In a short time become tha Meoca. of thousands of tourists and sightseers from all parts of the country. v , Steel's fcoaff Xsor William Q. Steel, who will have tha supervleton of Improvements to be placed in the park, was the first to start the movement to secure the setting aside of the district aa a national park. 1 I - I I it.- Can be made" to earn for you and yet be j-eady for your usef when wanted by using our V '10, 30, 60 or 90 days demand certificate of de- '. ; posit, bearing appropriate interest. : These certificates are designed especially for ' ; " such requirements and are held by a large num- ber of our patrons..- 4 , ' " ' :.
