Information comes from a reliabla
source that there is a plan on foot
regarding tho placing of Crater Lake
on the map of the Southern Pacific
railroad. The scheme is nothing
more nor less than the establishing
of an automobile line between Med
ford and Klamath Falls. Tho plan
proposed provides for the sale of
tourist tickets which will give the
purchaser the option of continuing
north or south on the main line or
taking the side trip via Crater Lake.
No additional charge will be made,
aside from the usual ones in con
nection with hotel expessefi.
At first glance it might seem that
the expense would bo too great a one
for the railroad to bear, where no
returns are in sight. But the com
pany is not doing it for tho present
benefits that may be derived. It
has had under consideration for
some time an advertising campaign
for- Crater Lake that will bo greater
than anything of the kind ever un
dertaken. Tho literature that is to
be issued will bo well prepared and
tens of thousands of them will be
sent broadcast throughout the world.
To supplement this the company has
conceived the idea of tho automobile
line, believing that one live tourist
would bo worth a hundred dead
books. Hence the idea of fdvinc the
tourist tho novelty of making the
trip from this city to Klamath Falls
by way of tho lake.
It will readily be seon that such a
program would arouso widespread
attention nnd would bo the means of
spreading the fame of Crater Lake
far and wide more speedily nnd ef
fectively than niijj; othor means that
could bo adopted. 4
Tho plans embracing this enter
prise are simply in tho formative
state. It may be possible that when
they are all worked out it would be
come necessary to make a small ad
ditional charge for this sido trin. but
it is understood that this will not bo
done unless tho business, would in.
volve a too heavy loss to tho com-
