Work has been started simultaneously nt the Medford and Klamath entrances, and with the roads already constructed to the park borders by the state nnd counties, Crater Lake by tho close of the season will have one of the host systems of permanent high ways of any national park in the count ry. "I was very favorably Impressed with Diamond lake and the coun try surrounding It, and It is iny plan In have this area Included In the pnrk area.
