Many Visit Crater Lake There were more tourist registered at the Crater Lake National Park headquarters duing August this year than was recorded for the same period last year. Superintendent Frank Arant when in Klamath Falls reported that the regristration for August had reached a total of 2,496 names. “ August was the best month o f the season for tourists,” said Superinten dent Arant ’ ’The total number of visitors of whom we have a record dur ing the entire season up to September 1 was 3,635. This has not been up to our anticipation o f the number of visitors to Crater Lake National Park, but is an increase over the number for last year. “ The tourists season is not nearly over, but it is hardly possible that September will be as good a month as August. Although it has been some what stormy and some snow has fallen at the lake, the season has been fairly good and I expect a large number of tourists in the park this and next month.
