Another unit of the attractive, bbtgl will lie erected In time to ac commodate tourist travel beginning next season. Cameron Squires of Portland Is assisting ll. W. Price, managing director of the Crater Iaike Hotel company, in financing this improvement, which is part of a broad program for continued ex pansion uf hotel facilities. A group ot rustic cottages for motor car tourists who prefer this class of ac commodations also is planned. The volume of tourist travel to Crater Lake this year has greatly exceeded that of any year since the highways from Medford and Klam ath Falls have been so -well im proved. Completion of the Eugene Klamath Falls cutoff of the South ern Pacific railway will bring that lino within about 20 miles of Crater lake and this short distance will be provided with a suitable highway. Itoads Plnnuiil According to a recent statement by Colonel C. (!. Thompson, superin tendent of Crater Lake National park, a 10 years' program of high way Improvement of the roads into the park' and through It including the highway around the rim of Cra ter like, has been laid out so that Ultimately all of these highways will bo ' bard surfaced. Money ts now available for hard surfacing IS. 3 mites of the road to the park's entrance, and this work will bo done this fall and next spring. Even tually the width of tho park's high ways will be 20 feet, all objection able curves will be widened and maximum grades will he reduced to 7 per cent. All good trees and land scape effect will be preserved. For these highway improvements $239, 000 is available. Colonel Thompson Is bent upon using mechanical equipment to re move the snow mantle from the highways each spring, so that Crater lake may be reached much earlier than has been possible heretofore. Wheli Ibis is done. Crater lake will be accessible at least a month soon er than It was this year. Accidents Few Citing the safety of the highways into and around Crater Lake Colonel Thompson says that only one col lision of motor cars has occurred this season. No one was injured and the cost of the mishap was only 11.20. Forest rangers are watchful in protecting Crater Lake National park's attractions flowers, forest cover, the many cascades and wild animal life. Sanitation and providing pure water for automobile camps are prime considerations. September is regarded as the most beautiful month in the park, al though the attendance usually drops orf the early part of this month. One of the features of service nt Crater Lake lodge is that many young men and women students of the University of Oregon and ot the Oregon Agricultural college are giv en employment during their summer vacations. No such splendid and worthy groups of young people could bo found anywhere. suy patrons of the resort, and they do much to elevate the popularity of Crater lake. In the evenings In the hotel's great lobby before the mas sive fireplace, fed by ruga logs, these young people contribute much in song nnd music lo the pleasure of the guests.

Yloung, who Is now 2S '.roars old, C r FMq 1 111MB L Saddle Mountain Lumber Company and Timber Brings $37,500 DEFUNCT BANK ASSET Six Million Feet of Pine In volved in Deal Complet ed This Morning Sale of the Saddle Mountain Lum ber company mill and six million feet of choice timber for a con sideration reported to be $37.f0fl was announced this morning by A. It. Campbell, deputy state super intendent of banks, when tho first payment on the mill was made. The mill anf the timber were in cluded among the assets ot the First State and Savings bank, de funct, and were sold by Mr. Camp bell, who is in charge of liquida tion of assets of the defunct Insti tution. The Campbcll-Towle concern -will lake immediate possession of tho new mill and will Institute repairs which will require expenditure of approximately 125.000. Itullt fly Siemens Th Saddle Mountain Lumber company mill was built four years ago by H. H. Edmonds and John W. Siemens Sr. The mill was con structed on the- promise of ftobert E. Strahorn that his road would he built to Sprague river immedia tely. Time passed and the road was not extended. Unable to manufac ture lumber and through the pro fits gained thereby, meet their fi nancial obligations, Siemens and Ed monds were forced to mortgage the holdings. Eventually the bank came In control of the concern and when it closed its doors the Saddle Moun tain Lumber company was includ ed among the assets. The six million :' t of timber is among the choicest of the east ern Klamath stand, according to lumbermen. It is located adjacent to the mill and will undoubtedly bo utilized - when the mill starts to , operate. 9 .10,000 Capacity The mill has a capacity of 50, 000 feet per shift. It Is located at the terminus of the Strahorn rail road in Sprague River valley, 40 miles east of Klamath Falls. It would not be put into operation until either next spring or next summer, W. C. Mattson, manager ot the Caaipbell-Towle interests In 'Klamath said today. Necessary repairs and overhauling of machin ery will require considerable time to complete. The Saddle Mountain mill site is but a quarter of a milo from tho Campbell-Towle Lumber company mill which is now In operation. Towlc To He Here Delwin Towle, one of the owners, Is on his way to Klamath Falls to I determine what he will do with his new holdings. Since the bank closed Its doors there have been numerous negotla- ; Hons for the small mill. Owing to the fact that the tltlo was In volved, not oue of tho negotiating lumber concerns would take the j chance of purchasing the mill until a clear title could be shown. The original investment In tho mill is reported to be $140,000. T. W. Evans, San Francisco hus : iness man, here on a business trip.
