BEST SEASON OF
H STORYCLOSED
AT CRATER LAKE
Records Broken in Attendance
. Public Statement Soon
All Employees Leave and
Offices Closed Head
quarters in Portland.
The Crater Lake season for 1921 Is
now but a memory, for It officially
closed last night nt midnight. The
lodge closed up shop yesterday fore
noon, and all officials and employes of
the Crater Lake National Park com
pany, and last guests, departed for
Medford, leaving that beautiful and
mysterious region in tho tender hands
of Alex Sparrow, superintendent of
Crater National park and 1) is force of
employes who will contlnuo improve
ment work nt tho park until deep snow
drives them out. Tho Crater Lake
postofftee Is closed and the dally
carrying Bervice between Medford and
the lake ceased yesterday.
R. W. Price, vice president of the
company, and acting general manager,
Manager Kamps of the lodge and Mr.
Kiefhabcr who has been ncting as
manager of tho company's Medford
office left early Friday evonlng by
auto for Portland, where tho Crater
Ijake National Park company will
establish its headquarters at onco In
an office at the Multnomnh hotel, fin
ish up this season's business and make
plans tor next season's business. All
the books and records ot the company
have been taken to Portland.
The past season, the first with the
Crater Lake National Park company In
charge, has been a wonderfully suc
cessful one and breaks the record
both in attendance and financial re
ceipts. The attendance and financial
figures are hot yet obtainable, but Mr.
Price, before departing for Portland
said that as oon as the books had
been audited at the Portland office a
public statement would be given out.
So successful had been tho season, he
said, that there is no doubt that the
Crater Nationul Park company will ex
orcise Its option and take over the con
cessions from Alfred L. ParkhurBt of
Portland, which they operated this
past season under an agreement with
him and tho national park service.
This transaction with Mr. Parkhurst
will probably take place next March,
and the company has extensive im
provements in view for next season.
Tho company has this season spent
the $20,000 agreed upon with the na
tional park service, he said, and will
continue to incite improvements each
year.
Next season 35 more tent houses
will be erected, providing accommoda
tion for 70 more people, whllo an addi
tional wing for tho lodge Is contem
plated, said Mr. Price. A builder, ho
said, is now at the lodge preparing
sketches for tho proposed Improve
ments. All plans, oven to colors, must
first be approved by the national park
service.
Tho company will have a caretaker
at tho lodge from now on until the
season opons on July 1st next. In ad
dition to the rangers on duty In the
park, Superintendent Sparrow will
visit Crater National Park monthly.

Incomo received by any maritlal com
munity shall be included in tho gross
income of the spouse having control

erty of a marital community shall be
long to tho wifo. Ho asserted that the
