THIS Crater Lake highway and the efforts to build it
snniik volumes for the' imblie spirit of Medford.
There is probably not another city of its size in the world
that has made such a gallant, fight for a highway. Its
history is worth while as an inspiration to future efforts.
It, more than any other one attempted accomplishment,
shows the superior stuff that iMedford is made of the
indomitable spirit that creates cities.
Jn the summer of 1.007, James i. (larfield, secretary of
the interior, was induced to visit Crater Lake. He fell in
love with the scenic wonder, but he told the people of Bed
ford that the United States government would do nothing
to improve the national park until this vast playground of
the people was made accessible to the people by highways
built by state or county.
So in the summer of 11308, K 11. Uarriman, Governor
(J. M. Chamberlain and others in the seats of the mighty,
were induced to visit the hike, with the result that a con
certed effort was undertaken to secure a state highway.
Governor Chamberlain appointed a temporary unuer
Lake highway commission to arouse interest in the project
and to discuss ways and means.
Jn the legislative session of 1909, a bill was introduced,
calling for an appropriation of $100,000 from the state for
the Crater Lake, highway, another $100,000 to be contrib
uted by fJacksou and Klamath counties and $50,000 from
outside sources. -A trainload of Medford business men des
cended upon the state capital, wearing badges and labor
ed for the bill. A delegation remained throughout the
ent ire session to lobby for it and it passed and a new com
mission was named.
Then a Salem mossback enjoined the appropriation.
The supreme court took a narrow view of the law, and
after a year's delay, pronounced the appropriation uncon
stitutional. In the meantime, leading lawyers had volun
teered in the bill's defense, prominent citizens appeared as
witnesses in behalf of the highway and a state-wide agi
tation followed.
The iMedford Commercial club then undertook to raise
funds by popular subscription for the highway's construc
tion. Subscriptions were asked of $100 each, payable in
two annual installments. Survey of the highway under
an engineer allotted by the good roads bureau of the gov
ernment was begun. A contract was let for a four per cent
grade to replace the almost insurmountable Pumice Hill
grade, the worst feature of the present road.
Between $25,000 and $30,000 was subscribed to build
the highway. About one-tenth was raised in Portland,
another tenth in Jackson county outside of iMedford, and
the balance in iMedford. On the strength of the effort
made, the forestry bureau diverted $5000 to fix up roads
in the Crater reserve, and congress appropriated $10,000

lor a survey ior roans ui me uauoiiai pane.
As the subscriptions did not come in fast enough to
enable the construction work to bo rushed through to com
pletion in time for use of the new road this year, Colonel
Prank Kay and the banks of iMedford have given another
instance of the iMedford spirit. They advanced $10,000 nec
essary cash upon the subscriptions. The county court has
assumed charge of the enterprise and will complete this
section of the highway, furnishing additional money re
quired. When the improvements under way arc completed, it
will be far easier to reach Crater Lake than ever before
but it is only the beginning of the boulevard. The state
must and will build it if the constitution has to bo
amended to permit it. And to accomplish this is the work
of the future. With it will come the expenditure of mil
lions by the government in the national park.
