The road to the Marine Bar
racks was safely traversible for
people going this afternoon to
the open house and parade, but
the weather put somewhat of a
damper on the party. Even so,
a big crowd was expected.
Traditional Tilt
Modoc field, where Bend and
Klamath football teams will com
pete in their traditional annual
game, Saturday at 2 p. m., was
a veritable quagmire today. The
game promises to be even wet
ter than the Marine-Coast Guard
tilt last weekend, and the turf
on the field is badly torn up.
The wet weather has affected
logging operations in the timber
districts, especially those opera
tions that depend primarily on
trucking.
Entrance Blocked
All four entrances to Crater
lake national park today were
reported blocked by snow. The
state highway commission was
advised the roads will remain
closed for the winter. Nine
inches of snow in the park area
will probably force closing the
park resort this weekend.
The forest service camp at
Scott creek on the Lamm sale
area will be closed for the season
about November 15, due to wea
ther conditions.
Newcomers to the Klamath
area were informed - by old
timers that the current storm is
'lust a false start of winter, and
that more fall weather is in pros
pect. But a view irom tne win
dow this morning gave a distinct
impression of Christmas. - -
