Parkhurst, of Portland, wilt oper ate tbo Crater Lake lodgo and oth er Crater lake concessions this year, as tbo Crater Lake company, which ran tbo concessions last year, and Parkhurst havo fallod to come to terms and Parkhurst Is making all preparations to operate the coming season.

The company which held this option to purchase for 180,000, In recent negotiations offered Park hurst 115,000 for the property, which sum ho refused.

According to Parkhurst'a plans as reportod at Mcdford, thn Crater Lake lodgo will be opened July 1st, or as soon as- the snow clean away from the park. It will bo operated on the American plan, the rales of which havo not been established yet.
