PORTLAND, Juno 23. (Special.)
Tlio abovo resolution "was unani
mously adopted by tho board of
governors of tho Portland Commer
cial club at a meeting held Tuesday
noon, following a conference with
representatives of tho Medford
Commercial club Crater Lnko high
way commission.
Brief talks wore mudo by John M;
"Root, J. D, Heard, E. 13. Waterman
and Q. Putnam, of the commission,
ulso by Judgo George Baldwin of
Klamath Falls, Judgo W. M. Davis
and Will G, Steol of Portlund.
Tho Crater Lake highway projoct
was originated by tho Medford Com
mercial club two years ago, and
$20,000 in Portland, so that half of
it, $25,000, may be expended during
the next few months in eliminating
tho worst features of tho present
wagon road.
When the government was assured
of the construction of the road by
popular subscription, Engineer B. F.
Ilcidcl, of the good roads section of
the department of agriculture, was
sent to take charge of surveys and
construction work, and all tho money
collected will bo spent under his di
rection. No money is to bo spent for
rights of way or other purposes ex
cept actual construction. Mr Heidl
this week completes preliminary sur
veys and estimntes for that section
of tho road to bo built through tho
forest reserve by tho forestry bu
reau, and that to be built by popular
subscription, extending down the
Itoguo river from Prospect. A 4 per
cent grade has been secured, which
will eliminate tho worst obstacle of
the present road, Flounce Rock hill,
where in five-eighths of a mile the
present road climbs approximately
COO feet.
It will require $230,000 to build
the 80 miles of road from Medford
to the lake. Of this 80 miles, 55
miles lies outside tho government do
mniu, and must bo built by popular
subscription. Tho present rond will
bo pussahle for automobiles with the
work to be done this year, and tho
commission must be nssured of
monoy at once to award contracts
at the same timo tho forestry bu
reau lets its contract for its section,
so that a lower figure can bo so
cured. Tho Crater Lnko highway commis
sion is composed of leading citizens
of Medford; tho money received is
deposited equally in the four banks
of Medford, whoso, presidonts form
an advisory committee. No monoy
will bo paid out except upon requisi
tion of the engineer, who hns entire
chnrgo of route, ns well as contracts.
Until tho Crater Lake National
park is made accessible to the pub
lic, the government will not spend
any money in improving it. When it
is made accessible, appropriations
totaling several millions will be asked
by the departments of the interior
and agriculture of congress for pnrk
improvement, tho secretaries having
committed themselves to this effect.
When the Oregon supreme court
held that Crater Lake was n locul
affair the government lost interest
in the proposed improvements, fed
eral officials holding thnt if Crater
Lake was a local affair, so was the
Yellowstone. Upon being assured,
however that the rond would be built
by popular subscription, they at onco
promised co-operation, sending their
engineer to take charge of the road
and expending' $5000 on hand for
rond improvement in tho Crater na
tional forest. Had it hot been for
tho attempt made by the Medford
club and tho assurances given, gov
ernment departments would have
dropped the matter in disgust, and
diverted the money into other chan
nels. The commission insists thnt the
subscription is n state affair and not
a Medford or Southern Oregon pro
ject, and the United States govern
ment considers it a national affair.
The commission holds that it is tho
duty of all the stato to open up Its
greatest scenic wonder, and that the
burden should not be borne entirely
by one small community. The tour
ist travel which will result from
making the lake accessible will ben
efit every portion of Oregon, partic
ularly Portland, and therefore the
appenl is made to Portland to stand
shoulder to shoulder with Medford
in promoting tho enterprise.
