Attendance There This Year
Will Probably Run to
Sixty Thousand
The tourist season . at Crater
lake opened this year with a very
Wrge - increase. In .tourists, who
come from California, and ; from
all of the states in the union, as
well as the provinces of Canada.
according to John M. Scott, gene
ral passenger agent of the South
ern Pacific,, who has. Just returned
from an extended trip through
southern: Oregon and northern
California. Including a visit of
several days at Crater Lake Na
tional park.
In the first 15 days of the sen-
son there has been a record In
crease of 75 per cent In tourist
arrivals, approximately 10.000 per
sons visiting this great scenic
wonder, this year, compared with
less than 6.000 last year,
i "If this percentage of Increase
continues throughout the season.
and there is every indication that
it will." said Mr. Scott, "the at
tendance at Crater lake this year
will number' close to 60,000 visi
tors against a total attendance
last year of 33,000. This will put
national , parks in the matter of
attendance." -
Road conditions on the highway
between Medford and Crater lake
and between Crater lake' and
Klamath Falls, Mr. Scott found
In excellent shape, with the ex
ceDtlon ! of a few miles between
Trail and Prospect, on the Med
ford-Crater Lake highway now un
der repair, but an ordinary ma
chine can travel 15 or 20 miles
an nour over mis sireicu wna
comfort. As a matter of fact,
automobiles - are now making the
mn from Medford to Crater lake
(85 miles) " very comfortably in
about four hours. , On the KlaiM
ath side, with the exception of a
short stretch, the highway Is nlao
in excellent condition.

he says that all this tlmn win
required to finish the building
and get it thoroughly seasoned,
ready for service. The present
rate of construction is satisfactory
but the, matter held for so long in
reaching an agreement as to plans
that there Is too much buildinz to
do to finish it much If any earlier
than the contract time.
The gymnasium. 99 by 73 feet,
inside measurement, will be about
4 0 per cent larger than the old
floor,, and will have seats for al
most 1.000 SDectators. benidpa
much larger and better nronor
tioned floor. The old gym was
so short that for basketball the
players practically had to re-learn
the game when going to another
floor after , having v practiced at
home. This year they will start
out even with the best.
I
Willamette Gymnasium Will
Be Completed Before
' 'i School Year Opens -
"Beginning last Friday to set
the posts for the floor in the new
Willamette university gymnasium
the contractors now - have the
whole main floor laid, ready for
the finish floor, and the brick
walls are laid for the entire baser
ment up to the level of the main
floor, with the walls up several
feet higher on the east and north
The progress Is well ahead of
the schedule originally ; outlined.
At . the present rate of construc
tion the building may be ready
to turn over tt the university
completed early In September, be
fore the opening of the univer
sity year on September 19. .
One change has been made that
the players ot every kind will ap
preciate. That is the substitu
tion of maple for hemlock floor
ing for the whole main floor. The
cost will run up several hundred
dollars higher, but It has been
figured out that It will be econ
omy if spread over a longer period
of years, and the maple will al
ways be safe and good. Nobody
gets blood-poisoning from maple
slivers In a long slide across a
critical floor. The maple costs
about $150 per 1000 feet, and It
also costs more to Jay. The hem
lock costs about $90 per 1000
feet. .' ,
The material Is on hand for
the -plastering, but the interior
finish will not be nut on until the
building. is roofed over. The
building is to have a plain shingle
roof. , . ,
About ,00,000 feef of heavy
fir lumber was used In the floor
and supporting , timbers for the
main floor.' The factor of safe
ty le being considered throughout.
The main gymnasium is 75 by
US feet. This will be about 16
feet longer and ,4 feet wider than
the high school gymnasium. ' If
will have . a larger basketball
floor, but not a great deal larger
seating capacity because the high
school gym has two galleries that
will add to -its room. It would
be possible to install galleries for
the Willamette floor If that
should be found desirable, though
it should have an audience cap
acity, sitting and standing, of be
tween 1200 and 1500 as It is. '
- The steel roof trusses are to
be 21 feet in the clear, and an
additional nine , feet in the cen
ter between the trusses. While
this is not all the clearance that
an ideal basketball floor would
call for. it will - be one of the
finest basketball floors In the
state.
The working of the new tariff
law is worrying its political ene
mies. If the rates are prohibitive
imports would have decreased to
such a degree that the higher du
ties would hare yielded less rere
nue than was collected under the
Underwood tariff. " But the reve
nues have Increased to an unpre
cedented total, and the Democrats
who came to swear at the McCam-ber-Fordney
tariff ; law have re
mained , to sing Its' praises. - The
new. law. has dumfounded Its.ene-

; This week the traveling repre
sentative of the St. Thomas, On

pany visited the plant , and ' icon

broom handles.' He will take
twice as many the coming year as
they would have made in the past
year, running, to their then capac
ty. He buys especially ', the. long
handles, from 5 4 up to 108 inches
tn' length, for. export markets.' The
same company bought 12 carloads
of Salem products last year, and
comes back for,; several times as
many for the year to come.
The company has been interest
ing a 'number of enterprising

extensively Into the manufacture
of hardwood specialties Buch as

material for such goods, and the

Mail Route to Newport
Is Explained By Gibbard
It is suggested from the Salem
postoffice that a lot of perfectly
good literary enthusiasm and con
jugal felicity is wasted when the
stay at
homes mail their letters
time to catch the 10:15
just in
f fain to Newport. . Many Salem
people are spending the summer
at the coast, and those who are
left behind may count on writing
a daily! letter to; catch the same
train 's . they would themselves
take if they were going over. But
the train doesn't carry the New
port mall. That all goes on the
Shasta Limited. that leaves at
9:30. A. E. Gibbard. assistant
postmaster, urges that those who
want to reach . the Newport folks
the same day. should note this
mail routing and mail their let-
tern in
time.;;' v--. ....

The
readjusting the carrier system, so
as to give one more carrier, on
the south side. This gives much

The same thing will be done on
the north side In the near future.
