THE BATTLE TO MAKE CRATER LAKE A GREAT NATIONAL
' PLEASURE RESORT.
The greatest undertaking to advertise Orego is the fight of
a few determined men to open Crater Lake to the tourist
worlai
The tourist travel of nationaal proportions amounts to at
least 100,000 persons a year, AND INCREASING EACH
YEAR.
Last year 5000 people visited Crater Lake with teams, A
good road would quadruple that number,
THE AUTOMOBILE FOUND ITS WAY IN LAST YEAR FOR
THE FIRST TIME.
Besides Uncle Sam's children, American tourist travel is
mado up of all the principal nations of Europe,
Crater Lake, Oregon, will be placed ON A PAR WITH Y0
SEMITE AND YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARKS.
For the Crator Lake National Park is already established
under an act of congress .
W. F, Arant, of Klamath Falls, is superintendent, He lives
in the park in summer, and HAS REALLY OPENED THE
THIRD GREAT NATURAL WONDER OF THE WORLD TO THE
PUBLIC.
Governor Bonson has appointed THE FOLLOWING ORE
GON BOOSTERS as the Crater Lake oRad Commission ,
C, S, Jackson, of Pertland: Dr, J, M, Keeno and Banker J,
E, Enyart, of Medford; E, V, Carter, of Ashland,' Sonator H ,D,
Norton, of Grants Pass; Geo, T, Baldwin and L F, Willets, of
Klamath Falls, both former county judges,
THE COMMISSON ORGANIZED THE SAME DAY IT WAS
APPOINTED (May 22) by elocting Mr, Jackson president and
Will G, Stool secretary,
Steel has lived, talked, thought, dreamed , written and sung
Crator Lake for 24 yoars,
It took him 17 yoars to get congress to create it a National
Park
He'hAS HAD BUT VERY LITTLE HELP BUT HIS OWN EN
THUSIASM SO FAR.
Llko everything olso that gots done In Oregon, he has flown
with his own wings,
Whilo Ralnlor National Park got $50,000 last yoar from
congress, CRATER LAKE GOT A MEASLY $3000.
Today ho has $200,000 in sight from the state and two
counties of Jackson and Klamath,
HE EXPECTS TO GET A MILLION for roads and trails in
Crator Lake Park available next yoar, The delegation fiom
Orogon will ploaso ta're notico.
Tho Dopartmont of Agriculture .through tho Forostry Bu
reau, WILL DIVERT A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY TO THE
PARK.
. If Klamath comes through at tho July meeting of tho county
court ithoro will bo $50,000 spent this yoar on Hie Crater
Lake road, outside of tho Forost Rosorvo in tho two counties
UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE COMMISSION.
If'Klnmnth don't como thr.ugh thoro will be just half that
spont on tho Jackson county sldo ,
About 70 milos of government toad will bo built through
tho Forost Resorve, If tho survey is adoptod ON THE WEST
SIDE OF KLAMATH LAKE.
Fifty or sixty years ago thoro was a government road built
from Jacksonville to Fort Klamath ,for protection against In
dians, Tho now automobile road will follow that ancient trail, ex
copt that onginooring skill will obviate prohibitory grades,
It crosses tho Cascado range FIVE MILES SOUTH OF CRA
TER LAKE.
In placo of climbing steep hills, the new road will slido
around on easy grados,
For Instance, mstoad of going 300 feet almost straight up
In tho air at Florence Rock, THE ROAD WILL SLIP AROUND
ON A TWO PER CENT GRADE.
Potor Applegate, county survoyor, made a survey of tho
road last tall,
Ho says the road can bo put through on a maximum of six
por cont grados,
Most of tho hills CAN BE REDUCED TO TWO AND THREE
PERCENT GRADES.
Hoadquartors of tho commission are to be at Medford,
It Is oxpectod that Secretary of tho Interior Ballinger will
visit tho Crator Lake Park SOON AFTER CONGRESS AD
JOURNS. Prosldont Taft is to bo out In Soptombor,
Tho oloctlon of Editor Jackson, of the Portland Journal, to
bo president of tho commission was proper,
Ho visited tho lako last summer and was insistent THAT A
COMMISSION BE NAMED AT ONCE BY GOVERNOR CHAM
BERLAIN, AND THAT SOMETTHING BE DONE TO GET
ROADS BUILT.
Editor Jackson, Mayor Reddy .Editor George Putnam, Ed
gar Hafor ,John C, Lewis, F, H, Hopkins and Will G, Stool
held a mooting at Portland,
Governor Cnamborlaln was Induced to visit Crator Lake in
August ,when ho hobnobbed with Harriman at Polican Lodge,
HE BECAME AS ENTHUSIASTIC AS THE REST OF THE
SUNCH.
Tho provisional commission was composed of of Edward
H, Harriman and Colonel Frank Roy, of Now Yorkj C, S,
Jackson, T, B, Wilcox, L, R, Webster, of Portland; John H,
Scott, of Salem; Mayor Reddy and W, I, Vawter, of Medford;
F, H, Hopkins, of Central Point; Benta Bowens, of Ashland;
Geo, T, Baldwin and H, L Benson, of Klalnath Falls ,
THIS COMMISSION DEVISED THE PLAN OF UNITING
COUNTY, STATE AND FEDERAL AID, AND PUT IT ON THE
ROLLERS. .
As a matter of fact the whole scheme had Its incentive and
organization in the tireless brain and put-together intuition of
Editor Jackson,
Clifford Pinchot, head of the Bureau of Forest Reserves,
who has hunted, camped and fished over the whole Crater
Lake territory, IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOSTERS CRATER
LAKE HAS GOT.
He said to Will G, Steel, who was sent to Washington to
enlist tho departments! "As an evidence of good faith ,1
will put every dollar I can get hold of Into the Crater Lake
road, WHETHER YOU GET ANY APPROPRIATION." And he
Is doing it,
It is expected to clear the right of way and make the road
passable tor all kinds of vehicles and auto cars this year,
Actual rebuilding of the road will begin THIS YEAR ON A
FIRST-CLASS HIGHWAY.
A high-class highway will be built and finished as far as
the money will go AT LEAST 16 FEET WIDE.-
This is a big undertaking through rock-walled canyons
and over mountains,
It will take the full four years to finish the enterprise, and
IT MAY COST A MILLION DOLLARS TO CONNECT MED
FORD, CRATER LAKE AND KLAMATH FALLS.
But it Is a great and worthy development project,
IT HAS ENLISTED MEN WHO ARE EASILY IN THE RANK
OF FIRST-CLASS DOERS.
It will turn a stream of tourist travel through Oregon that
has never been here before,
THE GLOBE-TROTTERS OVER ALL TRANS-CONTINENT
AL ROADS WILL BE SWITCHED THROUGH OREGON THE
CLASS WHO SPEND BY WHOLESALE.
Ten thousand tourists a year (a very conservative num
ber) would leave two millions in Oregon,
Mr, Harriman has promised to use his personal influence
to make Crater Lake famous,
He has even intimated that if the Crater Lake road was
mado A HIGH-CLASS IMPROVEMENT HE WOULD ASSIST
MATERIALLY. ,
That it would be a revenue-producing asset of the Harri
man system is apparent to all,
Next to Jackson and Chamberlain, Harriman is the great
est enthusiast for Crater Lake ,
HE WILL NOT EVEN ADMIT THAT IT -IS ONE OF THE
GREATEST WONDERS OF THE WORLD.
Ho always refers to it as THE GREATEST WONDER OF
THE WORLD pushing the index finger of his right hand
straight out ahead of liim in a way peculiarly his own,
With tho brightest boostors in Oregon backing the enter
prise, with the federal officials all pushing it along, with Har
riman friendly to the undertaking, there seems nothing lack
ing to insure the speedy opening of Crater Lake to the trav
eling public of sightseers from all over the world ,
