There lids been much complaint on
the part of people who travol the
road between here and Prospect about
the deplorable stretch of road, about
five and one-half miles In extent be
tween: MoCloud and Prospect In' the
Flounco Rock neighborhood. Tbo
condition of this road is so bad that
Superintendent Thomson of Crater
National park declares It Is a disgrace
to Oregon. .
: The near approach T)f the Crator
Lake tourist season makes It seem
Imperative that the ruts and chuck
Bolos in this stretch bo done away
with as noon as possible. Superin
tendent Thomson has mado arrange
ments to bring the matter directly to
the attention of the county court.
Tho troublo 1b that although tho
contract has been let for a now high
way at this point, the work will not
bo done until late next fall.
The road between hero and Crater
Lake is now open as far as the snow
lino, about five and one-fourth miles
boyond Union creek, which means
that cars can now only go as fur as
the .snow lino. According to James
Grieve of Prospect nover before, so
far as known, has tho road boon open
to within such a closo distance of
Crator National park curly In May.
It breaks tho record in this regard by
about two weeks.
Tlioro are 10 feet and six Inches of
snow at the lake rim, and six fcot and
seven inches at Anna Spring camp.
Superintendent Thomson expects to
make his first visit to tho lake somo
time this week, going in by way of
Klamath Falls and Fort Klamath and
from there on skiis. Ho expects to
start In with a large crew on June
1st to clear away tho snow between
the lake and the snow lino, bogln
