10. Your committee vished q, con-
adorable number Of rooms and found
that the linen was clean and that
there was ample bed covering. In
quiry however revealed the fact that
t,pon one occasion. due to the failure
of clean linen to arrive from the
SO miles distanct. that some
of the beds were not made up until
very late In the day. II should be
remembered, however, that there Is
no laundry In connection with the
hotel and that towels and other lin
on must be sent Sb miles to be laund'
cred. We found that each bed was
supplied with extra blankets and
that additional blankets were avail
able for any guest requiring such
service. In this connection 1t Is de-
lsirable to state that the rooms occu-
lpied by the members of the commit
ltee were adequately cared for In this

to state that II is its opinion that
there is room for great development
at Crater Lake; that most OF the COM
plants directed against Mr.. Park
hurst might be attributed to the fact
that he has not been properly financ-
ed and that were he afforded the nee
essary financial assistance Crater
Lake lodge would become one OF the
noted resorts OF the country. Mr..
Parkhurst has almost impoverished
himself to keep Crater Lake lodge
going from year TO year, making such
as his financial capac-
lty would permit. He has Invested
"a large sum OF money and should he
be retired as lessee, we believe he
should be adequately reimbursed for
his expenditures OF time and money.
Change Might Help
Mr. Parkhurst is not n hotel man
OF the modern type, and we believe
in some particulars the management
has been lax, and that perhaps IL
satisfactory arrangements could be
made for the buying out or other dis
posal OF Mr.. Parkhurst that Crater
Lake lodge properly financed might
go ahead more rapidly under differ
ent management. We say this In all
kindness realizing the tremendous
burden that one man has had to car
ry without material help from any
source. Mr.. Parkhurst Is entitled to
great credit for what he has accom-
plished.
Call Down For Mathcr
In all kindness ad respect TO the
Ho. Stephen 8. Mather. your COM
mittee begs leave 10 express the opin-
ion that Mr.. Mather expsctel too
much OF Mr.. Parkhurst under the
also hat Mr.. Mnther has
been a little too harsh and abrupt In
his handling OF the situation. Wa
realize the wonderful work that Mr..
Mather has accomplished for the
national parks OF our country also
that carrying the burden OF so many
national resorts. hampered as he
probably Is by some OF the proverb-
ial red tape OF government opera
tions. that the embarrassment caus-
ed him by inadequate toilet and
lighting facilities, especially while
the congressional party was at Cra-
ter Lake. magnified the shortcom-
ings OF Mr.. Phrkhurst's management
and precipitated the condition which
lead to the appointment OF your COM
mittee.
Had Ample Access
Your committee has received only
the most courteous consideration
from both Mr.. Mather and Mr.. Park
hurst Every facility has been af-
forded us by both sides OF the con-
troversy upon which TO base this re-
port and our conclusions. We also
wish to express our appreciation OF

Mr.. Parkhurst began operations at
Crater Lake In 1910. taking over
large potential enterprise, using his
own fortune in the beginning and
continuing TO draw on his own re-
sources ever since. During 1910, with
the crude facilities which he was able
to install. he entertained TO guests.
His gross revenue for that season
was $27.01.S7. Each year up to
1917 the gross revenues increased.
In 1917. Mr.. Parkhurst entertained
only 2327 persons. his gross revenue
for that season being 314,1s5.6S.
This Is the year that the government
urged the American public not to
travel. In 1915. he entertained 2S06
persons. the gross revenue being
slS.474,45. In 1918, with similar
conditions obtaining. the attendance
and gross revenue was put little
gerater than In 1917, However, In
1919, after the close OF the great war.
the number OF guests jumped from
2606 In 1918, to 1885, the gross rev.
enue increasing from $14.620.57 In
1918 to $30,S16.5S In 1919. This
year. 1890, the number OF guests was
,5037 with gross revenue OF $49,S59.-
as, and undoubtedly had the gas
shortage not come upon the Pacific
coast, this season would have shown
very much larger growth. For your
information Is appended a detailed
statement of the operations OF the
resort from It's inception to the close
OF the 1920 season.

Cassia County in the last ten
of population gains-the increase
being over III per cent. The in
crease this time was due largely to
the rapid growth Of Burley.
During the next ten years the
growth of Cassia County will be ev-
en- greater, and this time the in
crease will be due largely to the phe-
nominal development Of OAKLEY.

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Try this! Brush Sage Tea and Sulphur
Compound through your hair, TAX
ing one strand at time.

When you darken your hair with Sage
Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, be-
cause it's done so naturally, so evenly.
Preparing this mixture, though, at home
IS mussy and troublesome. At little cost
you can buy at any drug store the ready
to-use preparation, improved by the ad-
dition of other ingredients called
/" Wyeth s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound You just dampen sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time. By morning all gray hair disap-
pears, and, after another application OF
two, your hair becomes beautifully dark
ened, glossy and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace
is sign of old age, and as we all desire
a youthful and attractive appearance
get busy at once with Wyeth s Sage and
Sulphur Compound and look years young

GOVERNORS MYTH EXPLODED.

Governor p. w. Clement has per
sistently claimed that he did not want
TO call special session of the legis
lature to act on the proposed amend
ment to the federal constitutional
amendment granting suffrage to women
because he believed no amendments
changing the constitution should be rat
fled until favorably acted upon by a
referendum. 1t was a pretty myth with
which he camoufaged his real posi-
tion but the supreme court of the Uni
ted States has ruthlessly destroyed the
myth in its unanimous decision that
state legislatures or constitutional con
ventions are the only bodies authorized
to act upon proposed changes to the
federal constitution.
The constitution itself provides
methods for its amendments and the
court makes the obvious decision that
those provisions are the only valid
ones for effecting changes. The gov
ernor of Vermont can no longer con-
sistently refuse to call the Legislature
of Vermont in session that it may act
upon this matter. Ratification by the
] Vermont legislature would give the
necessary thirty-six notifications anC
| put the amendment in force in time
to give millions of women an oppor
tunity to vote for president.
The national Republican committee
has issued an appeal to any Republican
states that have failed to ratify to ac
at once, the state Republican com
mittee of Vermont and later the stat
Republican convention have appeale,
directly to Governor Clement to call
special session to allow Vermont to d
justice to the women of the nation
These are sufficient political reason
for favorable action by the governo
and the decision of the supreme cour
removes the last excuse for failure t
act. The governor would be performin
the best political service and the great
est act of justice of his term if
would issue a call for a special sessio
and allow the public to have its way
this matter.

BOY DROWNED AT RUTLAND.
Taken With Cramps While Swimming

RUTLAND, June 3.-Ralph Scoyille,
aged Is years, of 33 Watkins avenue,
was drowned, and John Mahoney of

capped being drowned, at the swimming
hole known as Little Baxter's,' on

Scoville, the son of Mr. and Mrs
Norman Scoville and a student in the
sophomore class at the Rutland high
school, had been at the pool only about
ID or 20 minutes. According to tho
stories of some of the boys who were
near the pool at the time, it is believed
that Scoville was taken with era an

estimated to be 10 feet deep.
