One newspaper account described the condition of the lodge as “a rough, barnlike, unfinished building” with “one community lavatory” and “no bath.” The “partitions between the rooms were plaster board which had shrunk, leaving cracks two and three inches wide in some places.” Klamath Falls Herald and News, April 5, 1948, RG 79, Central Files, 1933-49, File No. 900-02, Part 3, National Park Service, Crater Lake Park Company, Contract, 1948.

15. The transactions that led to the removal of Parkhurst as park concessionaire angered Commissioner Steel. In May 1922 he initiated a letter-writing campaign to Oregon newspapers, charging Mather with fraudelent and scandalous practices in forcing Parkhurst out of the park without what he considered to be proper compensation. In September 1922 he wrote to President Warren G. Harding, demanding that Mather and Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall be removed from office. Finally in January 1924 Steel published a pamphlet, entitled “The Crater Lake Scandal,” in which his letters on behalf of Parkhurst were printed. William Gladstone Steel, “The Crater Lake Scandal” (Eugene, 1924), pp. 1-9, RG 79, Central Files, 1907-39. The alleged mistreatment of Parkhurst was also discussed in Congressional debate in February 1924 during consideration by the House of Representatives of a Department of the Interior appropriations bill.
