Steel Will Be Superintendent of Crater Lake Park if Merit Counts Discarding nil politicnl considera tions intent upon having Crater Lake national park placed in the enre of ono who knows it, loves it and has worked for it for years, friends of Will 0. Steel, "the daddy" of the park, arc preparing to urge his ap pointment by President Wilson as superintendent of that great natural wonder. Tho call for Steel is being raised nt Medford, nnd is assured of strong supiwrt among his friends in Port land nnd elsewhere in tho state. It is generally expected that u change will soon be made, and while sou-ml other candidates imvo appeared who ufo democrats, the endorsement of Steel, a republican, is being made without regard to jwlitics. Steel hns devoted u large part of his time for years to Crater Lake, nnd during many of those years he worked practically alone. I la hns mudo more than a dozen trips te Washington to gain favorable action by the prc-ident or emigre-, and the o.vpciibcs of these trips have, with two or three exception, been paid by bimslf. Intermittently, he has pub lished "Steel Points," which has told graphically nnd pict)riully of the beauties of Crater Iuko und its le gendary history. Struck Ilojlsli I'uury Pirst, he induced tho soerolnry of tho interior to withdraw from het t lemon I tho lauds surouiidiug tho lake. That wus buck in 188(1. lu 100'J he obtained tho uetiou that made u na tional park. Ho organized u nom pnuy that built a hotel und pluuod bouts on tho lako. Itceeutly ho has gouo uftor nu appropriation for toads nnd 100,000 will soon be available for that purK)se, to bo followed by other hundreds of thuuniiuds. Ho no longer holds any pcauuinry interest in property in the park. How ho bocamo inlorotcd in Cra ter Lake is an interesting story. It goes back to Steel's hohoolbov duys in Kansas, when ho curried his lunch to school in u newspuper, as wus the fashion among tho schoolboys then. Hating his lunch ono day, ho threw tho uowspupor wrapping on tho ground, hut picked it up to roud while enjoying his meal. His cios fell upon a paragraph thut told of a mysterious sunken luko in Oregon surrounded by perpoiidie. ular walls, of magnificent depth, and coloring. It aroused his fancy, mid ho 'resolved to see thut luko borne day. Two years later, nt tho ago of 18, ho was on Oregon pioneer. He cumo to Portland u:id begun inquir ing about tho luko. No ouo know nupthing about it. For nine yearn ho continued tho in quiry before ho found a man who hud heard of it. This man said it wus Komuwheio in southern Oregon. Then ho learned it was called Crater Lake. Filially ho learned whcio it was and how to icach It. Ho made the.pil gt'immago and ull his cuily fancies wero fulfilled. Siuco then Steel has been con bluntly ut work lot' thy opening of metvfoih) m ah, ti?fnh, El ND CDITH TLIAFCf?RO tho park und its betterment. The salary of sujK'nntendeut is only $1, 000 ii cnr. but ho says ho is willing to tako the job beeauo of what he has in view. He has plans yet un fulfilled, and belicxus thut if ho is sucriutcndent he can demonstrate tho needs of the park und carry out his visions of its improvement. Steel's ontlitiMu-m und his intimate kuowledgo of the park nrc urged by his friends us poculinr qualifications thut should outweigh aav question of Milities. His uaiuo will bo presented with those of other applicants when the change of administration cutuc. CNTJUN OF GENERAL . WASHINGTON.
