MAKING CRATER LAKE ACCESSIBLE TO TOURISTS OF THE WORLD
(By Kdgnr B. Piper in Oregoniau.)
Willi thu completion of thu wagon
road now building from Medford 'o
("rater lake, Oregon's far-famed sco
nio wonder will bo easily accessible
lo all travelers. Although much
work has boon done on Ibis project
within tho present year, it is fur from
being oomplete. Difficulty in hc
Ctiring financial aid with which to
carry on the work has delayed prog
ress. Tho campaign for tho construction
of this highway has bcouvaged for
thu last threo or four years. As
thu laku is a state, asset and tho na
tion's property, the interest in efforts
to place it in closer touch with every
lover of nature and the beautiful has
attrautcd widespread attention. Sev
eral years ago tho sjato legislature
appropriated .fl0l),000 for tho work,
but after plans had been drawn pay
ment was withheld on tho ground
that the law under which tho appro
priation was obtained was unconsti
tutional. People 1'iullMuaycil.
Undismayed' Itoguo ltivor valley
peoplo who had been instrumental in
obtaining thu slate's promise of us
sistuueo Htarled n campaign for
funds by private subscriptions. They
sucueoded in raising $'J.',000. B. V.
Ileidc, United States engineer, pre
pared plans for repairing, tho old
county road connecting Medford nnd
Port Klmuntli, Piuuieo hill, the
greatest obstacle in tho way, was
cut dipvn to. an excellent grade, hut
tlm 'J.7 miles of highway thus creat
ed was scoured at n cost of $18,000.
Purl of tho funds were uppropn-
ated by tho county court, while other
money was mined by tho Medford
Commercial club. Several firms and
individuals nlro subscribed to the
fund, but later repudiated their
promises to pay. Now tho Medford
Commercial club is endeavoring to
collect ont heso subscriptions.
More than .filfj.OOO already has
been expended, but half tho work has
not been done. Tho, proposed rond
is 81 miles long.
A World Wonder.
Kveryono who has visited Crater
lako has gone into ecstasies over its
scenic grnuduer, nnd nil aro enthusi
astic supporters of the schemo to
build the mad from tho valley below
to its hhores. They declare that with
ample facilities for reaching this tint
ttarl this natural beauty spot, it will
become as famous and ns popular ns
Niagara Kails' Yellowstone park, the
Grand canyon or any of the other
well-known attractions of tho coun
try . Tho lako itself is ono of na
ture's innrvels, and tho sconery sur
rounding it is unexcelled. Crnter
lako cannot ho compared with any
other work of nature. The su
premacy of each natural creation
stands undisputed. Crater lake has
a unique plueo among tho world's
wonders.
Scene Is Avto-Iitsplrlug.
Crnter lako is located on tho sum
mit nnd in the very heart of the Cas
cado range. Its nnmo describes it
perfectly. Its extreme depth is ap
proximately -000 ecl, and its walls
riso abruptly above its surfaco fully
"J000 feet higher in irregular and
strikingly picturoquo formations. It
is possible to stand on top of some of
these walls and drop pebbles into the
water L'000 feet below, so nearly ver
tical are they. The crater is slightly
elliptical in shape, nnd is about five
and one-half miles in diameter at its
widest jM)int. Near the western
shore is n huge cinder cone 845 feet
high, with nnothcr crnter, 100 feet
deep, in its summit. It is known as
Wizard island.
Near tho eastern shoro a jagged
rock rises abruptly from tho water
to a height of 70 feet and on accouut
of its resemblance to a sailing ves
sel has been named Phantom ship.
Discovery of Lake.
So fur as naturalists and explor
ers hnvo been ablo to learn thoro is
absolutely no inlet or outlet to tho
lake. Its origin and tho strnugo for
mations which surround it never have
been determined. Most scientists ac
cept tho theory that the mountain
in which tho lnko now rests was at
ono time n mighty volcano 'that sot
tied within itself, taking into the
earth's interior an inestimnblo quan
tity of rocks nnd lava, and leaving
this depression in place of its peak.
Tho lako was discovered in 1853 by
John A. llillman and a party of pros
pectors. Becnuso of tho deep indigo
blue of its wntors, it was then named
Deep Bluo lake but it siueo has been
known as Lako Mystery, Lnko Maj
esty, Hole in tho Ground, nnd finally
as Crater lako, which most natural
utimo it no doubt will retain. Tho
mountain containing this mysterious
body of water hits been named
Mount Miuama, after a mountain
climbing club of tho northwest.

Creating a Natural Park.
In the summer of 1885 W. G. Steel,
a pioneer mountain climber and writ
er of Oregon, started a movement
to secure a national park which
would include Crater lake, and iu
January following President Cleve
land signed a proclamation with
drawing 10 townships from entry.
Because of strong opposition no bill
passed congress' nnd tho project lay
dormant for mnny years. During the
session of 1901 and 1902 it was
again set in motion and on May 22,
1902, a bill was passed creating Crn
ter Lako National park. Since then
it has been under federal supervision.
Uecently efforts hnvo been mado to
secure additional government aid for
improvement of the park, so that it
may receive tho same shnro of at
tention thnt is given to other na
tional scenic reserves.
Making Lako Accessible.
Difficulty in reaching tho lnke has
been the chief obstacle to its fame
and popularity. Originally a tedious
pack train expedition of 10 or 12
days from tho nearest railway sta
tion was tho only manner by which
if was accessible. Later rudely con
structed wagon roads shortened tho
tinto and modified the hardships.
Now comfortable conveyances tnko
tho traveler over tho stage road, but
with tho advent of tho automobile
tho demand for further improvements
has been persistent. While tho con
struction of tho road proposed by tho
Medford Commercial club will nmko
tho trip a comfort as well us a pleas
ure, automobiles even now aro ablo
to cover the distance cither way in
day.
WEST ADVOCATES
STATE INSURANCE
Governor Would Stop Sending MI!-
lions Away as Premiums Money
Could Be Used In Making Public
Improvements.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 19. With tho
view of opening the matter for gen
eral discussion. Governor West today
camo out an advocate of a proposition
to put tho state Into tho Insurance
business.
"I think it Is a good schemo," said
tho governor, "and millions la pre
miums that now pour Into tho cotters
of eastern and foreign companies
could bo kept right In Orogon. This
money could bo used In making all
manner of public Improvements.
"I havo not worked out alt details
of tho plan, but I think It a good ono
and I probably will advocato it
strongly."
