company ceased advertising crater
lake in fits pamphlets on western
tours, owing TO the unsatisfactory
hotel accommodation available. This
year II has resumed advertising and
n going to go stronger and stronger
upon II. according to Charles S. Fee,
passenger traffic manager Of the
road. who is in Portland from San
Francisco for. a short visit.
The immense improvement in hotel
accommodations, highways and 9TH
er developments make Il In his opin-
Son. one OF the best bets" Oregon
has in the way of tourist attrac-
tions.
Il visited Crater lake national
park on my way north and found a
very material improvement not only
I'm the highways but In the trans
Dortation and In the hotel accom-
nodations, especially in the hotel at
Crater lake. which is now un-
der the management of progressive
and enterprising people who have
greatly improved the service. and I
am told by those in authority. will
make still further and more mater
kal improvements" he said.
MARK Twain, 1t is said, made the
statement that the absence OF Jane
Austin's novels made a good library.
Those who are familiar with the
hotel situation at the rim OF Crater
lake will get my meaning.
81 feel that Crater lake national
park. with the improvements already
made and those that will be forth
coming. is sure to enjoy a very
greatly increased travel both local
and transcontinentai.
'T have sent data TO my office IN
San Francisco since leaving Crater
lake that will be put In folder form
and distributed throughout the Unit
ed States by means of our own
agents and these OF connecting line.
This folder will impress upon east
ern tourists the wisdom of making
the diverse route trip-one way via
Weed and Klamath Falls to Crater
lake. with return direct to Medford,
the southbound travel to be urged
TO go In by way of Medford, Cra-
ter lake national park and out by
way OF Klamath Falls and Weed.
The main line portion OF tickets
reading northbound to Medford OF
tickets reading southbound to Weed
and points beyond. will be honored
one way over the branch line be-
tween Weed and klamath Falls,
where a connection is made with
the boat line which Is one Of the
must attractive features on the en-
tire trip.
II have been told that a new
boat with adequate accommodations
is to be provided for the 3O-mile
trip across klamath lake. This will
prove a boon to the traveller and
IN very much needed in order to
complete the transportation line COW
cred by the Crater lake detour trip.
The rim drive around Crater
lake is proving wonderful attrac-
tion. second only to the beauty of
the lake itself.
THE excellent hotel accomm oda-
tions at Klamath Falls and Medford
are well known and will rapidly
commend themselves to the average
traveller
''The new highway between Med
ferd and Crater lake is rapidly ap-
preaching completion, and especial
by that portion traversing the Med
ford orchard district and following
along the banks OF the Rogue river
and later the long stretches through
the wonderful pine forest of Ore
Eon. Will give the eastern traveller
n better idea of what Oregon really
means than 1t would be otherwise
possible to obtain.
''The same may be said of the
boat and rail between Rocky Point
and Weed. The views of Mt. Nc
LsuEhlin and Mt Shasta, together
with the rapidly settling Butte val
ley. are fetures in which the trav-
sler and tourist, ] am sure. will
take the greatest interest"
