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
